[thebrad]

*cough* managed to cover my mouth on that one, wiped it off on my jeans!

Still no snow here... hardly seen any this year! Was torture to stay inside - looked like it hit 50 today!

[kenmar]

Just use Mae's apron next time Brad.

So Mae... feel like you'll be making any visitations to some "Locked in Loneliness group"?

[janecallanan]

Who would that be?

[kenmar]

Must not have open your email yet.

[kenmar]

Brad, if it's fifty there I'm headin' that way....

[janecallanan]

Didn't havea chance yet, hang on...

[thebrad]

always room for you in my bed! (I'll sleep on the floor)

[janecallanan]

What good would that be for me Brad?

[kenmar]

WHoa, ...scared me there for a second :D

[thebrad]

that was for ken - he asked to come over. I'll meet you anywhere!

[thebrad]

just trying to get a RISE outta ya!

uh - I've been in the house too long. just ignore all that!

[janecallanan]

Ken, that was about the funniest thing I ever heard!

[kenmar]

Yeah, we should send it to Brad. You should that is..I'm on 56k out here in the sticks. Your cable should send it in a second or two.

[thebrad]

yeah - I hate being outside inside jokes!

[janecallanan]

Brad, do you have an address that's not msn or yahoo?

[thebrad]

i suppose hotmail is msn isn't it.

I have a work acount without attachment limits... I'll PM it to you.

[janecallanan]

Yes, I cantry sending and see if it will go through there.

[thebrad]

won't be around it 'til I'm back at work though

[kenmar]

Doesn't hotmail accept attachments ?

[thebrad]

yeah but pretty limited for size -

anarmyofbrad@hotmail.com

[janecallanan]

Sent it Brad, got your message.

[thebrad]

wicked! anticipation is the first part of every---.... eh, more of a participation guy anyway.

I'm surprised Mae didn't jump on that one ...

[thebrad]

ken - I know you're out in the country - you on a farm or acreage (sp?)?

[thebrad]

me too - and I even already thought of a lame comeback. guess jane blue-balled me.

[kenmar]

I'm back, just had a damn power failure.....

About out in the country, just have over an acre in the woods, but it's surrounded by fields. So I get the smell of corn and beans from some direction every spring.

[thebrad]

that's awesome - you get all the benefits of the country without all the work... I grew up on a five acre place... alfalfa field on most of it, replanted to native grasses... small pond. Surrounded by fields... but they've all been zoned into residential... won't be in the country for long :md:

[kenmar]

No, but I envy you all the experiences your going to have. (No bad ones allowed for members of the Patriot Files ). :D

[kenmar]

Just thought of something, Jane may be trying to ZIP that file to you. If she does hope you have Winzip.

[thebrad]

oh and the experiences they'll be! - esp. if I follow wazza's advice!

[thebrad]

I still have about a month and a half to be a computer geek - I've got winzip covered!

[janecallanan]

I'm losingthe trend of this conversation. Must be slow tonight!

[kenmar]

Do you get to take a vehicle with you ?

[thebrad]

Shirley, it's me. High on vitamin C and some expired cough syrup from two years ago featuring Codeine!

[kenmar]

and the man around the corner is eating peanut butter sandwiches in a row boat. Right Brad ?

[thebrad]

i see two men

[thebrad]

who's taking a vehicle?

[thebrad]

Mae be it's Jane.

[kenmar]

Must be Mae, she always drives men......

[janecallanan]

AAAAAAAAAAYYYYYEEEEEEEEE!!!!!

[thebrad]

In that case I'm a Chevy Citation!

[kenmar]

It's perfecly clear to me now.

[janecallanan]

Need more beer or something, she said, grumbling to herself in the corner.

[thebrad]

sounds like you need a shot

[janecallanan]

At least.

[kenmar]

SOOO, did the vistitation file get off to Brad or not ?

[janecallanan]

Didn't come back, if it was going to.

[thebrad]

I'll have to wait until I go to work monday - unless I find an excuse to burn some sick leave *cough*

[janecallanan]

It went to work?

[thebrad]

a shot of my borderline narcotic cough syrup + a half beer = pure bliss - here you go!

[janecallanan]

Thanks, you didn't drink from the bottle, did you?

[thebrad]

you send it to the address I PMed you, right?

[janecallanan]

Yes

[thebrad]

yeah - but the alcohol will kill the germs... I think. I bet you're the gamblin' type! No balls no babies!

[kenmar]

I sent it to Jeff this afternoon, I think... Any way he got it and I think he's on one of those web mail deals.

[thebrad]

yup - that's my work address.... wouldn't check it at home if I could... prob. atleast a dozen job requests in it.

[janecallanan]

Turn down the sound a little when you listen to it! ;)

[kenmar]

or put on head phones :D

[kenmar]

If Keith reads this thread he will for sure have us all committed !!!

[thebrad]

worst thing that can happen is that I get fired and draw unemployment for a week! Psychological principals tell me I should walk anyway.... Financial principals make me stay!

[thebrad]

a 'few' weeks I mean.

[janecallanan]

We could probably fill your days with these insane jokes while you're there!

[kenmar]

No PT or Vacation time left?

[thebrad]

I used most of the vacation time I had left in visits to the MEPS! I think I only have like 24 or 32 hours left.

Keith will have to catch me first!

[janecallanan]

Better start finding some good ones, ken!

[thebrad]

Not that I am a slacker there right now... but I did read about half of the 'hee hee hee' thread on friday!

[kenmar]

If Mae gets ahold of you he won't have any trouble :D :D

[thebrad]

if you gotta go, go with a smile! Or whatever face one tends to make.

[janecallanan]

Just doing my patriotic duty.

[kenmar]

I've got another MP3 I need to send. It's pretty funny too.
I'll dig it up later and send it to hdq.

[thebrad]

duty! humph!

[kenmar]

You put an extra H on that

[janecallanan]

You're the only one in line, so take it as a compliment! I want to see how well you salute.

[thebrad]

'tenshun!

Janie - I can do whatever a spider can!

[janecallanan]

Woo Hoo! Mae hit the jackpot!!!

[thebrad]

*message vanished*

[janecallanan]

Sorry, duly chastised.

[kenmar]

It was ok in yesterdays, thank you !!!

[thebrad]

that last message just disappeared... I haven't had that learned into me yet at Basic! Bring it ON!

[thebrad]

er

[thebrad]

uh

[kenmar]

I'm back..went to look for something.

[thebrad]

I usually forget what I was looking for before finding it!

[thebrad]

Mae be you were looking for Jane.

[kenmar]

I sent you something so you can have my email address in your email address book.

[kenmar]

Jane look in your JC...... email.

[kenmar]

Brad, it's past my think time, see ya later...

[thebrad]

it is late for us country bumpkins.

[SweetSue]

ok what email thingy it ya all yabbering about...??? eh???
inquiring minds wanna know...

[kenmar]

Ok Sue, for those "inquiring minds" I've put it on my web site.But be fore-warned that it is Saloon humor. If your uncomfortable with George Carlin's or Whoopie Goldberg's type ofhumor,do NOT listen to it.

Having said that, those that want tohear it, click herewww.kendavey.com (http://www.kendavey.com/) to get to my site.Then click on the W inthe word "Welcome" at the top of the page.

I've got a sniffer on the W link, so I'll know who clicked on it :D:D:D

Not really.... there's no way to do that.

Oris there ? ......:ab:

[janecallanan]

Any body here? Here? Here? here? here?

[kenmar]

Yep,

[thebrad]

of coure I'm still holed up in the house..er.. saloon.

[janecallanan]

Any good news today?

[thebrad]

All of my favorite movies are on!

[kenmar]

Saw Brad running around the building a little earlier

[janecallanan]

Which ones? Are they all on at once?

[thebrad]

in brief(s)... yes

[janecallanan]

Brad, those aren't movies. They're Hanes ads.

[thebrad]

Ah yes - but they still contain all the important parts of a good movie

[janecallanan]

Michael Jordan? I can't argue with that!
Ken, when did they pull your ad from the TV? (Ken used to model speedos) ;)

[kenmar]

It's still in the Sears catalog

[thebrad]

I have about a thousand things I could say.... think I'll let 'em all slide.

[kenmar]

I told you a million times not to exagerate

[janecallanan]

Brad, that would be considered a movie classic. I'll have to look for the catalog!

[thebrad]

you guys make me laugh, which makes me cough.

Let me guess: a long movie with a thick plot?

[janecallanan]

You been breaking the men's room rules?

[thebrad]

I believe I am covered by the 5th ammendment on this one.

[kenmar]

Brad, when you get time,(after the Mae Mangle) check the editorial in the "If we don't remember our past" thread.

[thebrad]

Just read it... still forming opinions though.

[JeffL]

Jane, you're slightly mistaken. Ken advertised in Hot Rod Magazine for SPEEDOMETERS, not Speedos. :re:

There's not enough money............. :ek:

[thebrad]

I believe I saw him in Tattoo-U

[kenmar]

*

[JeffL]

All o' y'all are gonna force to get out some of my - ummmmm - more - uhhhhhh - explicit images. :ag:

Exactly what are the restrictions hereabouts? Hmmmmmm? :z:

[kenmar]

[thebrad]

I would like to put in my vote that amungst restricted materials are any MORE pictures of me playing strip twister!

[janecallanan]

Looks like that was your partner, Brad?
Jeff, how do you model a speedometer (or maybe I don't want to know?)
Ken, that was perfect timing for that first picture! :ae:

[thebrad]

Yeah - that was the other person. Not me at all... nope!

[janecallanan]

Hopefully that was not you in the heels either. Wearing heels and breaking men's room rules may get you in a little hot water where you are going!

[thebrad]

"don't ask, don't tell, don't pursue"

No worries here, the men of the world are safe from me... it's their daughters you need to worry about!

[janecallanan]

OK, then I guess you're safe. Gotta go do the girl thing and cook supper now. See ya'll later!

[thebrad]

and I'm off to go do the guy thing: get supper from the gas station.

[SweetSue]

:x:

ewwwwwwwww what was that on the back of them tidy whities????

:n:



you all have dropped over the edge........

going back to tsn to watch the 3rd game of World Junior Hockey in Halifax.

Canada vs Germany. 3-1 for the Canucks at this point! :xx:



Susan

[janecallanan]

Hey, Sue, seem to keep missing you! Are you recovered from all the baking yet?

[Drywall]

Morning all, I need some adult beverage with my coffee this morning. Yesterday was not a good day.

[janecallanan]

How much, Drywall? Top shelf? I think we have some chocolate around somewhere too. That ALWAYS helps!

[Drywall]

Aww crap, I just better stick with the coffee straight up. I might have to leave and I don't need the booze now.

[janecallanan]

Coffee coming. Hope it helps. How about prayers?

[Drywall]

Thanks Jane, I'm just so danged frustrated with the doc's and everything. I'm sure by tomorrow she'll be fine. :)

[catman]

Is the grill open yet? I could go for a double cheeseburger, double hashbrowns w/cheese and butter and a draft in a frosty mug.

[Drywall]

Howdy cat. You want the hungry man lunch, huh? Here's your beer it'll be a minute on the chow. Ever have c-rats? Got a special on them today. :D

[catman]

When we were at the port in Damman(sp) Saudi, my platoon found a whole pallet of them. We ate good for a couple of weeks. Used to sit on the balconies in Kobar towers and cook on our squad stoves. Beat the shit the Phillipino's were serving in the parking garages. After we moved to the desert we were located next to a British Engineer unit used to trade with them all the time. Case of MRE's would get you a case of rations they called 10 men, guess that's how many Brits it could feed.

[catman]

i also remember being very young when my father was stationed in Germany and he would bring back c-rats from the field. It was like a little Christmas to us kids and Dad would laugh saying how do they eat that stuff.

[Drywall]

So, you got yourself a P-38 then? I still have one on a keyring circa 1966.

[catman]

I also have a p-38 on my keyring, right next to the dog tag

[Drywall]

If it wasn't so dang useful, I doubt if I'd have kept one.

[janecallanan]

Are you going to list the 101 uses of one?

[kenmar]

Hi Drywall, catman, Jane....The p38 sure brings back memories. Do they still issue the pocket knife. ..not sure, but I think its nomenclature was T 29.

[catman]

It's funny, everytime Diane goes to open a new can of coffee see brings it to me so i can use "that thing on my keys" She says the manual opener hurts her wrist and it won't fit under the electric one. I guess as long as we keep drinking coffee i have a home anyway.

[catman]

Never was issued a jack knife but we used to get Gerber Gators through the S-4. These are abount $50 knives very nice and large. About a 5 1/2 inch blade. Still have mine in the gun safe.

[kenmar]

Good for skinning squirrels ?? :D :D

[catman]

Ken, was that the old blade two blade job? one blade had a square end for use as a screw driver? I remember those being around when I first entered the army (87) but not much after that.

[janecallanan]

Two on the list now, squirrel skinning and marital aid. 99 more to go!

[catman]

The Gerbers are much too big for that. Maybe for deer or elephant but not squirrels.

[kenmar]

Yeah, that was it.. hard to believe, but I still have mine after almost 50 years.

[kenmar]

Mae your slipping...

[Drywall]

Hi Jane, I think he means the knfe for skinning. The P-38 is a can opener. Works great.

[kenmar]

and Kangroo's (sorry Waz)

[janecallanan]

I guess Mae has lost it, maybe I am not as incharacter with her without a quote!
I knew what the p-38 was. Used one several times, and hated it! So, that means we only have a list of one, Marital Aid.

If I make it to 50, I guess I will brag about still having mine too!

[thebrad]

how well do you think those Gerbers will work on consultants?

[catman]

Work good for most everything but some of their intended uses are frown on from John Law.

[kenmar]

A psyco hat and a Gerber will go a long way towards adjusting attitudes. :D

[thebrad]

Prob. the only attitude that needs adjusted is mine. Besides, I can't wear a pyscho hat yet anyway!

[janecallanan]

I think a metal detector and security at the door might be a good idea for my New Years party! I get the pat down job though!

[catman]

That it would Ken, keep up the fire brother, i need a good chuckle today!

[catman]

Jane, how many trips through the door can we make?

[kenmar]

Mae the Bouncer !!!

[thebrad]

try volunteering for conjugal visits, always good for a laugh!

[janecallanan]

Were you listening in on my phone conversations?

[thebrad]

I thought the voice was familiar.

[kenmar]

Catman, if you haven't been here (http://www.globespeed.net/~kenmar/visit.mp3) yet, its good for a laugh.

http://www.globespeed.net/~kenmar/visit.mp3

[kenmar]

See you guys in a while....gotta go enhance my varicose veins. :D

[Drywall]

I'm gonna go let Mae test out her pat down technique. :D

[janecallanan]

let me know if I'm too rough for you.

[catman]

Ken thanks for the link. I'll check it out.

Drywall... no cutting in line!

[kenmar]

rub down would be better.

[Drywall]

Is it getting warm in here? :D

[catman]

they play that tape on a radio station up here. Hey drywall you ever listen to the KQ morning show?

[Drywall]

Very seldom, but I hear all about it from my daughter. It sounds like it's pretty funny. Bernard doesn't live too far from me. Well, if you consider 10-15 miles not too far. Neither does Jesse.

[catman]

I think those two are close neighbors from what they say on the air. Some it it gets kind of slow and no one can ever disagree with benard or they get cut off, but all and all it is pretty funny.

[Drywall]

All radio guys are like that. They think they're experts on everything.

[janecallanan]

hey Brad, how's you cold doing?

[Drywall]

I think Brad stepped out for a while. What is everybody doing for New Years Eve? I might go out early and come home early.

[thebrad]

back now - doesn't seem fair that I have to work while at work sometimes.... I see Jane disappeared though.

[Drywall]

Yea they expect me to work while at work too. Go figure.

[thebrad]

One of the consultants, that are currently running the company, today told me 'Congrats on making the biggest mistake of your life.' Said a few other things that including the words 'quitter' and 'traitor.' I should have walked... damn economics - I'm stuck!

[thebrad]

So I don't feel too inclined to work very diligiantly!

[kenmar]

I was never afraid of hard work....I could sit down right next to any hardworker and watch him all day long.

[Drywall]

Brad, tell him if it weren't for you and guys like you, his sorry a** might not have a place to work. What a dick weed. You should deck him first, then walk.

[catman]

One of the few good things about being in business for yourself is, I have declared today as an admin day. I will sit my fat butt in front of this computer and watch the history channel on TV. At least until the wife gets back and tells me differently.

[kenmar]

Drywall's right, the guy is probably one of those Pu$$ys that makes love under the covers with the lights off. :)

[thebrad]

I wrote it off as him being a jackass. These guys litterally are the 'bobs' off of office space.

I suppose I am service to defend his right to be a capitalist pig!

I'm surprised it took a full week for the character bashing to begin!

[Drywall]

"I suppose I am service to defend his right to be a capitalist pig!"

This is what makes you better than he'll ever be.

[thebrad]

He's in good company at my work - they're all either MD's Lawyers or Engineers or a combination of. (I like the engineers though)... plus they are pretty much all millionaires - one of them brags about how he has dinner with Warren Buffet often when they are both in town - OOOO!

I should be thanking them, not hitting them - they proved very useful as negative role-models - gave me that extra push to look for something more from a career!

[philly]

Good Morning. :)

[Drywall]

It's afternoon here. ;) What'll ya have?

[thebrad]

drywall - that all depends on what qualities are used to measure a man's worth. I have no interest in being any better than anyone anyway - I'll judge brad tomorrow based off brad today.

On a side note: My brother just called me and asked if I could help him 'do drywall in the basement' next weekend. I SWEAR it's carpentry only!

[janecallanan]

Brad, all they're doing is proving what they are whenever they open their mouths, and you prove what you are when you react with dignity.
That's my boy! Didn't I teach him well!!!
Morning philly.

[philly]

Hi Drywall,

I'll have a coffee. It's still morning in Cali. ;)

[catman]

Hey drywall better watch your six and head for high ground!

[philly]

Hi Jane. I hope you had a nice weekend. :)

[janecallanan]

Lots of work getting ready for the New Year, lots of sleep recuperating from the work. But all in all worth the effort. it should be a great one.

[Drywall]

Ok party pooper. :) Hey Mae, the coffee is still hot and strong.:D

[janecallanan]

Like my men! Filler up!

[kenmar]

Morning Girls... I assume you both know what the tradition is for giving a soldier a proper send off.

[philly]

Give me until noon and I'll be ready to party. :D

[thebrad]

oh crap.... will this be like a week ago friday after I swore in [and was passed out by 7]?

[janecallanan]

I can guess. Are there going to be any witnesses?
BTW, great picture.

[philly]

Ken,

Please clue me in??? :D

[thebrad]

just so it's not basement carpentry!

[Drywall]

Run Ken, be afraid, be very afraid.

[janecallanan]

Hopefully there will be no carpentry tools available, but base might be a good word.

[philly]

Hide and go seek?? ;)

[kenmar]

I know Drywall.... I'm heading for real trouble.

[catman]

Hide hell, i ain't moving from this spot.

[thebrad]

I'll hide where ever you put my Grolsch

[janecallanan]

It's over here, soldier.

[Drywall]

Philly, I thought you were waiting till noon to start playing? What the heck you got in that coffee anyway?

[kenmar]

Philly, you'll need something besides tweezers for this duty.

[thebrad]

I don't see it - oh there it is, on your barstool!

[janecallanan]

Thought you'd move the right things around to find it eventually. Glad you can think on your feet.

[thebrad]

Jane - I promise I'm not contagious.... can't make the same guanantee on addictive.

[Keith_Hixson]

The group theropy session seems to be going well. There's nothing wrong with being a little crazy.

Keith :D

[philly]

Some things are worth seeking. Interesting people are complex. :D

[kenmar]

Watch it Brad, stay outa the bushes, its definitely a trap.

[thebrad]

crazy? - I've already been called 'looney tunes' once today - and a few other things too!

[janecallanan]

if you all will excuse us, Brad and mae have some business to attend to in the photo booth. C'mon soldier, lets make some great wallet shots for your scrap book. Gotta promise me the first brass button though.

[philly]

Drywall, it's not black coffee you served me. You spiced it up a bit with Baileys. ;)

Ken, tweezer? Hmmm... Should I call in the Air Force to airlift ya? :D

[thebrad]

yeah - I hear that ALL the time! But with your bright smile we'll move you to the front of the line! Wow - Army guys live the life!

[Drywall]

Oh sure, blame the innocent barkeep. :D

[kenmar]

Brad, watch out, there may be a delayed negative reaction to snapping pictures in the photo booth.

[philly]

Brad, do you think you could handle a lady on each arm? ;)

[kenmar]

Philly, I've never tried it Airborne, so couldn't say...

[Drywall]

Hey Ken and cat, I think the young buck is sneaking away with the ladies. Might as well have a brew or two.

[kenmar]

Originally posted by philly
Brad, do you think you could handle a lady on each arm? ;)

Whoa, don't EVER get Mae jealous

[thebrad]

I guess there's only one way to find out!

[philly]

I don't know there buddy. You said tweezers wouldn't do the trick. The lift sounds mighty heavy to me.. :D

[Drywall]

Where are my manners, sorry Keith. You were so quiet over there, what can I get for you?

[thebrad]

great - what started out as a photo shoot has turned into politics. A few shots will change all that!

[kenmar]

OK Drywall, I'll have a short one before I leave.

[janecallanan]

No politics today soldier. Just a proper send off.
Ken, can we take some weight off ya?

[philly]

I think Mae and Lucille Ball could arrange something. :D

[thebrad]

[philly]

Ken,

You're cutting out on us already.

[kenmar]

...And Hedy Lamarr

[kenmar]

I can't keep in sync with this crummy 56k

[janecallanan]

We'll

Just for a while.



OH OH, this is my post # 666.

[thebrad]

hey ladies - if I don't take lunch now I'll loose it, and as they say An Army of One travels on it's stomach!

oh yeah - see you guys around too.

[philly]

Stay safe...be good..no airlifts until you get back. :D

[philly]

Brad,

Lucy will be around for a little bit longer. She already has difficulty walk'n in heels, so one more Baileys and she'll be done for the night. :D See you around kid.

[philly]

Whose in the house now?? ;)

[Drywall]

What, everyone is leaving?

[janecallanan]

Sorry, she said peeking from the photo booth, but we aren't done in here yet.

[catman]

I'm still around

[philly]

Mae, how did the pictures come out? Is he a handsome devil? ;)

Drywall, I have a joke for you now.

What's the same on both ends and has no middle and has no future?

Catman, you sure are quiet over there. Come over and join Lucy for a bit. ;)

[catman]

ok, but you have to be gentle with me.
