What do, or what did you do in the 'mob'?

[cheddar cheese]

Yeah and CC and Lanc have to be THE best on this website with their comedy!

Nah, I tire of my rambling and im sure other people do too - My problem is knowing when to stop. Everyone on this site (barring some, no names mentioned) is funny in their individual way - be it clever with words, simply knowing good jokes or in my case just being funny in the head.

Blackwatch said it right, heed his advice 8)

As an aside, just hope lanc didnt see that comment or we'll never hear the end of it

You are just wrong in the head CC.

 

[the lancaster kicks ass]

man that mortar joke was good and -38, you'll learn to love adult humour and yes me and CC have been the site's comedy duo for years don't get me wrong we're nothing on most of the guys here but we're the only comdey duo

Wasn't there some thread about the people on here ...who had the most knowledge and who were the funniest. Maybe I just dreamt it ...oh well... I just have to turn over here now.

 

[Medvedya]

Yeah I was looking for that one too - can't find it.

to p-38 pilot and to all the younger folks...

p-38 I want you to think about this, it is not a critique or slam...

you have taken the name of a type of plane and the pilots from the USAAC used in desperate missions in a desperate time...they were boys mostly, a little older than you are now...they should have been in high school or college thinking about girls or football or home or records or the lastest dance craze...instead they were sent, due to the need, and poorly undertrained, into the Pacific or Europe when men and women for the fascist mindset decided they had the best way and everyone else needed to die....the British were almost on their knees and being plummled and were dying by the droves, the French were furious at their leaders that surrendered basically without a fight while their women and kids were dying by the thousands; the Japanese, having watched AMERCIAN newsreals showing we were inferior mongrals and wouldn't/couldn't fight...so these young boys became men in a time in a time when the forces of fascism bet their racially superior men could beat the mongrel nations of the world under the idea of democracy...

They flew their p-38's over vast tracks of the Pacific with NO landmarks or real ability to fight....but they learned, and somehow those young American's, and British, and Australian and New Zealanders, etc...did it...against terrible odds and horrible conditions....many disappeared....

You go look up on the 'net' about my old US National Guard Divison, the 38th ID (they were orginally the 32nd ID) and their taking of the Owen Stanley Mountains....read about Sgt. Roger Young (not much older than you now went he died)....

Read about the rape of Nanking, and just what happened to the Aussies and Brits that surrendered to the Japanese...especially when the world 'mourns' Hiroshima....

Read what US Marine General 'Howling Mad' Smith said when he came ashore at Tarawa and saw the red beach flags just inches from a dead Marine's hand....

Or the brave men that took Pegasus Bridge....that NEVER quit....

Or the Aussie Coastwatchers, so many that disappeared....

Or those brave Germans that tried to STOP the war, and failed....and disappeared...

I want you all to think and remember....and wonder....and NEVER forget...

 

[DerAdlerIstGelandet]

Very good post there!

 

[P38 Pilot]

But why are you telling me this? I already know that in every war people make heroic sacrifices just so other people may enjoy freedoms they probably never knew.

By the way today is my B-day so im 14 now....

 

[trackend]

Happy birthday P38 keep this up and your gonna be a wrinkley before you know it.

 

[Nonskimmer]

[plan_D]

Shut up, track, just because you're French no need to take it out on me.

 

[evangilder]

Happy b-day P-38

 

[plan_D]

Oh yes...happy birthday, 38 ...going to get drunk and throw yourself into a river? That's what I did on my 14th ...I slept all day on my 15th ...and 16th is a blur ...17th was boring ...18th is a blur.
