So much military jargon comes to mind (I did four years US Army)but I think this one says it all, "would like to see him do an about face".solitude says,
Howl...! :) 100 points. Damn, this is the best laugh I've had in weeks.lmfao
At ease.
Laconic says,
Can only wonder if he had a belly cousin because this story is getting out of hand. Maybe a little moo oil would help spit shine his apple knocker.solitude says,
Groan....(moan?) Second best laugh in weeks. You are a god.Laconic says,
Let's put this story on the radar screen because if you're not catching any flak you're definitely not over the target!solitude says,
This is all getting a little too hard to swallow.Laconic says,
A cannon cocker could load a five-incher to do the job but an eight-incher will make fubars out of everyone....Laconic says,
Moo oil = 1) Butter, "grease" 2) Smooth talking, exaggerations.solitude says,
Fubars we are. Care to make it 9? Someone's going to get caught pants down in the comment section :) Look out, Sixers; he's coming....Laconic says,
Apple Knocker = Hick. Also called "acorn cracker," "country clod," and "acre foot," the last of these inexplicably associating country life with disproportionally large feet.solitude says,
You know what they say about foot and vocabulary size.... What DO they say about foot size?!solitude says,
Army & hicks covered. Should we turn to seamen? All hands on deck.solitude says,
Coast Guardsman = puddle pirates.Laconic says,
Now we have a JANFU on our hands. This joint exercise will have me guarding the flag pole.Laconic says,
Still your mustachioed friend, but I thought it too arrogant to use.solitude says,
Allllright.... :) Yes, I caught the name change with your pic.Proceed.
Laconic says,
I better cover my ass before I get caught in a foxhole.solitude says,
Beware the fox in your hole.
