The incentives to fight and quickly extinguish a shipboard fire are just not fully appreciated by landlubbers.

You can usually walk or crawl away from a dry land fire gone bad. But a fire at sea is a whole other story.


So, just how long can you tread water?

Only as long as the air in your CHEMOX lasts. :D:D But on a serious note, you are correct Chief, the incentive to kill an onboard fire is pretty high. Secondary to that, where the heck is all that water going, and how fast can we get OUTSIDE the ship? And how fast/how well can we desmoke/ventilate is about 3rd on the list. Casualty evacuation falls in there somewhere - that was my job onboard, mostly.

There is something to be said for what I always refer to as the "#uckoff Factor". As a ground soldier, when things go bad you can kinda sneak away (if that is your decision) and do a little E&E. At sea, you are 100% at the mercy of the Captain and his actions. Once the ship goes into combat you are there for the duration, cuz that first step over the side is a real dang wet one. :(

I am not a fan of the all natural gas simulator we have. It doesnt recreate the same heat levels and it has almost no smoke. Some diesel and straw would work better in my opinion.
The one challenge I did find interesting was the minimal use of water in containing a fire. No use putting the fire out at the expense of capsizing the ship.
As with all things; they are getting a huge upgrade soon but it is too late for me. I will have to wait for my refresher course or my advanced course. They are also upgrading the flood control simulator. It is apparently going to be on hydraulics so it can tilt as the scenario evolves.

[LEWTFL]

Navy fire training was a long time ago and there was no flooding control simulator, but the fire fighting was fuel oil in a concrete building simulating the fire room and /or engine room.
Lots of smoke and heat. PPE? Tuck your trouser legs into your socks, Mark V OBA and lets go get it.

But what I really wanted to discuss was the boneless, skinless chicken mentioned a few posts earlier.....

How do they survive in the wild?

Hahahaa. That sounds ooohhh so familiar. Steel, concrete, diesel/oil mix and ya, "tuck'em in boys". :D:D

As for the chicken? They cuddle up to the big bad wolf for warmth and protection, of course. ;)

Happy Easter! Did somebody say chicken? After reading all the posts here, not one good discussion has been started about "peeps" as a candy. They certainly should rate high up on the chart with circus peanuts. Hey! A Bunny!

[ChiefReason]

Bunnies?
We have squirrels here. Nasty ones. They look you straight in the eye and dare you to throw something at them. Flicking their tail and chattering.
They're kinda scary.
My dog, Chopper isn't afraid of them. When I say "squirrel", he's ready to go outside and do battle with them.
Have you ever seen a turtle dove walk around? They walk around in our back yard looking for bird seed and it is so funny. They waddle.
True story.
CR

[rhvfd1214]

I am not sure the difference between a turtle dove, and a regular dove. We have funny looking doves with a ring around their neck. I'm not sure how they walk. I know that ducks amuse me. They are God's original All Terrain Vehicles. They swim, dive, waddle on land, and fly, plus they seem to make good insurance sellers. I have a policy with the duck on the commercials.

[LEWTFL]

A little elbow grease and a good cleanser like Zud will get those rings right out.

[rhvfd1214]

I have concluded that the rings are bruises caused by squirrels. It seems the squirrel mafia has some pretty serious ways to deal with birds that enter their territory and try to take from their (food) bank. The squirrels have already strong-armed the rabbits out of the neighborhood. The neighbor's dogs will not even try stop the squirrels. They have caved into the intimidation of the nut hurlers. So far, I have abated all attempts by the mafia at a take over of my house, but I have found reminders under the hood of my beloved antique Dodge pickup. I have stockpiled ammuntion for the inevitable showdown that will be in the future. I hope we can resolve the turf issue before the big bang reckoning of my ol' 20 gauge.. I am not a violent person, but will defend my home with all possible means.

[rhvfd1214]

Just over two days, no other posts.. Somebody please tell me it isn't over. Was it those dang squirrels? Am I the only one left???? I can hear those filthy tree rats barking in the background. I will not let them take me...

I think I want a pet duck. I would like to teach it how to dive and find fish, then tell me where the fish are, so I can know where to catch fish. Mallard Fish Finder, nicknamed Hummingbird.. Just a thought. I found out that vienna sausages are actually "tube steaks." Makes sense to me. Most people I have asked, said that the best place to catch fish is usually with a hook in the corner of their mouths.

Alas, SuperGlue will repair a broken heart, but only the plastic ones, which, in my opinion, aren't worth fixing.
My experience with the other kind has brought this series of repair procedures:
Step 1: Cleanse and disinfect the area with copious amounts of Alcohol. (preferrably a smooth bourbon. My favorite being Jim Beam Black Label.)
Step 2: Bed Rest for at least two days before attempting to associate with unaffected people in public places.
Step 3: After said rest, go directly to a public eating establishment, and compliment the staff for their service. (This step is crucial to building up immunity to further heartbreaks. It builds a firm self esteem when you can compliment others..) My favorite place would be an unhealthy fast food chain. Try not to sit near the playground.
Step 4: Communicate with friends and family, address the issues that caused the damage in the first place, and try to change the habits that led to the unfortunate event.
Step 5: Find an outlet for any remaining frustrations. Destruction of inanimate objects can free up the heart muscles and allow for clairity in the thought process.
Step 6: Usually by now, I have regressed into steps 1 and 2, therefore, I do not remember how to proceed.. But the time passage would have been sufficient to allow for the heart to function in a limited, but effective capacity.

Just trying to help, superchef. I am a big fan of your postings on this thread. They make me wish I could cook more than the normal "add boiling water and let sit for 3 minutes." I was wondering if you had any ideas on how to prepare a beef brisket?? Maybe something that would have a bold, but sweet taste?
BTW, my last big heartbreak, I destroyed two air-conditioners and a couch with a crowbar. (A friend of mine wanted to remove the aluminum for recycling. The couch was used for firewood.) No animals were harmed in the above altercation.. We actually found a classring that was stuck in the couch frame from the previous owners. They were happy to get it back.. All was well with the world again.

We hired a new HR Director. His name is John Bassett.
I'll start. I have already screwed up and called him "Fred". Yeah; that's right. Fred Bassett from the comic strip. But it didn't stop there. "Dog eat dog world of HR"; "he's thirty-two? He's just a pup."
OK; take it from here.:D

[rhvfd1214]

I've been reading the other threads for a while, checking up on some of my posted comments, looking for a great debate to enter into, and have found myself agreeing with most of everything said. Since I have nothing to add to those threads, I had to come here to get my post in for today.
Wasn't "Fred" the name of the Bassett hound in "Smokey and the Bandit?" My favorite movie, Fast Cars, Big Trucks, Sally Field (Gidget...sigh...) Jackie Gleason, and lots of vehicular carnage. There was also some Burt guy that at one time was married to that chick from "WKRP in Cincinnatti." Jerry Reed, from fishing with Bill Dance, did some singing and driving too..

CR, I hope your new HR Director will be a true "assett" to the department.

Got a Hawaii tip or recommendation of your own? Share it with us. And for more news, plus examples of Polynesian power in the Bay Area, check out the Hawaii Calls column the first Thursday of every month.

Oahu: Jammin', Spammin', and Shaping Up

Tickets are on sale now for the Diamond Head Crater Celebration on May 19, with Earth, Wind and Fire (but hopefully not volcano goddess Pele) headlining the concert inside the crater. Mick Fleetwood's Island Rumours Band will make its world stage premiere, with a lineup including Willie K (popular island recording artist and ex of beloved Hawaiian chanteuse Amy Hanaiali'i Gilliom), Eric Gilliom (Amy's brother) and more. Hawaii's own Yvonne Elliman (Mary Magdalene in "Jesus Christ Superstar") and former Santana/Journey lead singer Gregg Rolie will also perform.

The unique festival—last year's was the first such event inside the crater in nearly 30 years—includes arts and crafts vendors, an ethnic food court and an opening-act showcase from the Polynesian Cultural Center. Tickets ($125 to $175, including parking and a required shuttle) are available at www.ticketmaster.com or (877) 750-4400 (toll-free). For more information, call (808) 735-7000 or visit www.cratercelebration.com.

At the Fifth Annual Waikiki Spam Jam on April 28, you can sample free entertainment and, for a fee, all the Spam you can stomach. It won't be easy to keep up with the locals though: Hawaii consumes more Spam per capita than any other state, or about 7 million cans every year. Kalakaua Avenue in Waikiki will be closed to traffic from 4 to 10 p.m. for the event, with two entertainment stages, vendors selling crafts and Spam-themed items (Spamorabilia anyone?), and a dozen restaurants serving canned-meat creations. But as ye take, so shall ye give: Volunteers will be collecting donations of Spam for the Hawaii Food Bank. For details and recipes, visit www.spamjamhawaii.com.

For those who don't mind sharing their vacation with a couple thousand other fun lovers, the Sheraton Waikiki, Honolulu's big kid on the block, recently completed a $55 million renovation of its 1,481 standard guest rooms (that's about $37,000 a room, for the bean counters). Highlights include a 32-inch LCD flat-screen TV, high-speed Internet access, digital-control air-conditioning and an electronic safe large enough to hold a laptop (and on vacation, that's really the best place for it.) The hotel also plans to put you in a Hawaiian mood with a flower lei and tropical drink at check-in, followed by new cultural activities, such as themed Polynesian, paniolo (cowboy) and ukulele nights, the last featuring legendary strummer Kelly Boy DeLima. The Sheraton's new Director of Fun has also come up with a weekly "dive-in" movie by the pool, mechanical shark races and a nightly beachside campfire with S'mores and Hawaiian stories. For room rates and details, visit www.starwoodhotels.com/hawaii.

Big Island: Hula and honu

Like many of the lava rock–fringed resorts on the Big Island's west side, the Outrigger Keauhou Beach Resort and neighboring Kahalu'u Beach Park are great places to see Hawaii's endangered green sea turtles, known as honu, floating close to shore—just give your eyes a minute to detect their almost-camouflaged shells bobbing in the shallow waters. And you can do your part to protect the turtles—once considered a delicacy by Hawaiian diners, and now threatened by the degradation of their habitat—by carefully disposing of your trash (especially plastics) away from the beach. Preservation of local culture is another focus of activity at the Outrigger. Every Monday, visitors can observe classes in traditional Hawaiian dance, chant and language on the grounds—a fitting site, since King Kalakaua, revered for reviving hula in Hawaii, had a summer cottage there. Around 4 p.m. on Mondays, observers are welcome to stretch out on the Royal Garden lawn (to the left of the hotel entrance) and watch as local hula dancers rehearse to the beat of the ipu (gourd drum). At 5:30 (give or take—hey, it's Hawaiian time), the group often moves to the Makai (oceanside) lawn for lessons in Hawaiian chant and language. If you can hear them over the waves, they're doing it right. For information, see www.outriggerkeauhoubeachhotel .com.

For some reason, all I can think about is Mustard, tomato, and a slice of American cheese on a toasted Spam sandwich. MMMMM.... A side order of pork rinds (BBQ flavored) and a RC cola.. Has anybody tried the new Bacon Flavored Spam? I saw it in a Wal-Mart grocery aisle, and thought I had found the perfect food, but I was too afraid to try it by myself.

I think my little boat has a bad case of crabs. I went fishing in the Pascagoula River near the Mississippi Gulf Coast this week, and found crab claws ( No, Not Crawfish pinchers..) inside my livewell. I think the bass I had in there must have spread the crabs. Is there a cure?? I was thinking of washing the livewell on the BassTracker with Clorox.. I have some Vienna Sausages left over from my lunch box that I carried while fishing. Should they be sterilized also? The Discovery Channel has a show, "The Deadliest Catch." (Great Show, tougher men than me.. Lots of RESPECT for them..) Should I get a camera crew to follow my boat during it's crabby outings? The deadly part would probably be from the biting knats. Wow, those bloodsuckers are tiny, but painful teeth with wings. Then there were the gators...

DEFENCE BULLYING REPORT - RAF Worst of the Three Services


A recent report by the Equal Opportunities Audit Team has found that
allegations of "a culture of widespread bullying and brutality" within the
British Forces are, in the most part, unfounded. The audit team, which
travelled to every Defence establishment across the UK and abroad and
interviewed staff from all three services, found surprisingly few cases of
unfair treatment and bullying within the Army and Navy.

When it came to the Airforce, however, the report told a different story.
Complaints to the EOAT came from a total of 13,555 RAF members, compared
with three from Navy and just one from Army.

While this statistic is alarming in its own right, it becomes horrific when
one considers that each complaint represents a sad story of abuse,
mistreatment and neglect. As one senior RAF officer put it, "Each story is,
in itself, a sad indictment on the RAF. When taken as a whole, however, they
demonstrate a reprehensible lack of regard for personnel on the part of RAF
managers at all levels."

One young pilot told of having to spend two nights in tented accommodation,
despite the fact that there was an empty five-star hotel just 1km away.

Another said that he had been forced to endure a gruelling fitness test
every year since he joined in 1997.

One airwoman alleged that she had been overlooked for promotion on numerous
occasions, simply because she was fat, lazy and stupid.

An aircraftman stated he had been refused permission to wear civilian attire
to work, despite the fact that his uniform clashed with his eye colour.

Another had been forced to wear uncomfortable safety boots for periods of up
to eight hours straight.

An RAF clerk could not understand why she had been sent to work in a Joint
military headquarters, "I have been forced to work for horrid Army people
who just don't understand what the military is all about. I feel the RAF
has victimised me by forcing me to do this...I will be seeking
compensation..."

Shockingly, RAF Senior Ranks are also subject to mistreatment. One SNCO
Flight Sergeant stated, "I was deeply upset when I was addressed as 'Flight
Sergeant' by an officer. He knew my name was Robert. It was just
horrible - I have never been more humiliated in my life." In response a
senior RAF officer stated, "the officer in question has been moved on...".

A number of personnel complained of having to attend courses that were not
relevant to their jobs, such as rigorous ground combat courses and drawn-out
lectures on occupational health and safety. To add insult to injury, a young
corporal was even ordered to pack up chairs in the classroom after one such
course.

The huge backlash against treatment of Air Force personnel should provide
senior officers with a vital clue with regard to the massive retention
problems experienced by the RAF in recent times. Over the past two years,
Defence has spent some £19.8 million looking into the issue.

Not all of the Air Force's hierarchy, however, were upset by the
revelations. Said outgoing Chief of the Air Staff, Air Chief Marshal Sir
Errol Flynn, KCB CBE DSO ADC BSc(Eng) FRAeS RAF, "I'm delighted with the
result. I am very happy that our retention problems are due, in the most
part at least, to something as harmless as bullying. I thought everyone was
leaving because of me."

We are on our second batch of the following delicacy. Fortunately there are a few good Salmon farms around the area so the stuff is plentiful.

Cured Salmon.

1 hunk of Salmon fillet with the skin on, sized to suit you (ours are LARGE :p )

Marinade.

In a glass bowl mix the following

2 Tablespoon Dijon Mustard.
2 Tablespoons Sugar.
4 Tablespoons coarse Sea Salt.
2 Tablespoons Gin.

Place the Salmon skin side down in a glass dish (do not use metal as the salt/alcohol mix will wreck it and the fish)

Spread the marinade over the flesh covering every part.

Place fresh dill leaves over the salmon covering all of the flesh thickly so that no pink is left visible (helps with keeping the marinade in place)

turn the fish over so the skin is facing up in the dish.

Wrap glad wrap(cling film) loosely down the inside of the bowl and over the salmon, use two layers.

place a chopping board or another flat dish on top and 3 or four full cans etc to press down on the fish.

Refrigerate for 3 days.

Keeps for 3 or 4 weeks in the fridge (Not bloody likely round here :D )

Made sushi the other night with homemade Cured Salmon, Feta cheese, Avacado and Tomatoe.

Rather tasty it is.

While preparing the dish I have tended to add Lime juice to a glass along with Gin and Lemonade, for Quality Control purposes of course. :rolleyes:

2 Tablespoons Sugar.
4 Tablespoons coarse Sea Salt.
2 Tablespoons Gin.

Place the Salmon skin side down in a glass dish (do not use metal as the salt/alcohol mix will wreck it and the fish)

Spread the marinade over the flesh covering every part.

Place fresh dill leaves over the salmon covering all of the flesh thickly so that no pink is left visible (helps with keeping the marinade in place)

turn the fish over so the skin is facing up in the dish.

Wrap glad wrap(cling film) loosely down the inside of the bowl and over the salmon, use two layers.

place a chopping board or another flat dish on top and 3 or four full cans etc to press down on the fish.

Refrigerate for 3 days.

Keeps for 3 or 4 weeks in the fridge (Not bloody likely round here

Made sushi the other night with homemade Cured Salmon, Feta cheese, Avacado and Tomatoe.

Rather tasty it is.

While preparing the dish I have tended to add Lime juice to a glass along with Gin and Lemonade, for Quality Control purposes of course.


No, No, No...............

CATFISH is where it's at. Here's the receipe:

Catch a 10 pound Blue or Channel Cat.

Thouroughly Clean the Fish, including splitting it open along the underside center, and remove the head.

Build a Fire with wood or charcoal, allowing a large pile of hot coals to build up.

Take a piece of Pine Board, mount the Fish on the Board, using nails to hold the two sides of the fish open, and pinned to the Board.

Prop the Board with the Fish on it up in front of the hot coals.

Baste from time to time with Lemon Butter.

Cook in this manner for Three Hours.

Pick up the Board, Remove the Fish and dispose of it. Eat The Board.

:D :D :D :D :D

I would suggest that everybody try the jelly-bean sugar cookies, however, it is best to leave out the flavors that you would not want. Some people don't like the black ones, so leave them out.

For some reason, whenever the subject of sushi comes up, I think about sardines and canned tuna. I tried anchovies ONCE. I nearly passed out from the blood pressure spike from all of the salt..

I had a great queso dip at a Ruby Tuesday restaruant the other day. I wish I had a home recipe for it. I tried Bacon Spam. It is OK. I still recommend the Turkey Spam, slightly baked in the Microwave, and topped with a mild pepperjack cheese, on toasted white bread. Add your favorite mustard to the mix, and call it gourmet.

I have never thought of my eating as being a habit. I am more of a grazing type. If something edible is available, then it will probably get eaten. However, I may be addicted to eating, because I can't seem to stop for more than maybe a day.
I do have a fondness for Subway sandwiches, and I have really cut back on my fried foods after an episode of a gall bladder blockage, so do not fret, Superchef.. My eating is fine, I reserve the canned foods for special events, like an empty refridgerator and no desire to go for take out.. Perhaps the only thing I really need physicological help with would be my love of Vienna sausages as a snack food. That would be with a touch of Texas Pete's hot sauce.. I do have a fear of lettuce. It doesn't do well in my system. NO LETTUCE..

I cannot help my boating situation. I am limited by budget constraints. However, my little Tracker has been reliable, and a great improvement over the 14foot V-hull that I had way back when.. Of course, it also has been trained to find Bass. This feat took several years of trial and error. Unfortunatley, it also knows how to find crappie, bream, carp, and snakes. In fact, snakes seem drawn to it. As are the occasional stump, tree, and rock. I am looking for a new boat, and have looked at a Triton TR19, a Nitro 482, and ProCraft 192.

Remthedays, I think you have a great set-up for chasing fish. I have yet to see a bass that would swim fast enough to keep up with those big boats. I would suggest using the trolling motor for longer runs, but switch to a push pole for the ultimate stealth in sneaking up on fish. You could always use a bow and arrow, and try a little bowfishing..

"SERVITIUM NULLI SECUNDUS"



ACTUAL AUSTRALIAN COURT DOCKET 12659---CASE OF THE PREGNANT LADY

A lady about 8 months pregnant got on a bus. She noticed the man opposite her was smiling at her. She immediately moved to another seat.This time the smile turned into a grin, so she moved again. The man seemed more amused. When on the fourth move, the man burst out laughing, she complained to the driver and he had the man arrested.

The case came up in court.

The judge asked the man (about 20 years old) what he had to say for himself.

The man replied, "Well your Honor, it was like this,when the lady got on the bus,I couldn't help but notice her condition. She sat down under a sign that said,'The Double Mint Twins are coming' and I grinned. Then she moved and sat under a sign that said, 'Logan's Liniment will reduce the swelling,' and I had to smile. Then she placed herself under a deodorant sign that said, "William's Big Stick Did the Trick," and I could hardly contain myself.

But, Your Honor, when She moved the fourth time and sat under a sign that said,'Goodyear Rubber could have prevented this Accident'... I just lost it."

"CASE DISMISSED!!"

Oh so true.

The good Wife and I were sitting on the deck admiring the sea view as the sun set yesterday.

The neighbour (house about 200 yards away) is strolling around his apple orchard with his wife and their dog.

We didn't know they were walking due to our house being being between us. until she called out in a rather loud voice.

Randy, COME.

It was after we stopped peeing our pants laughing that we managed to say hallo and found out during the course of the chat that the dogs name is Randy.

She was slightly uncomfortable all the way through the chat for some reason. :p

Yep!. We're on the same page.

On the John boat thing, my lovely bride got me a trolling motor for the John Boat, a fathers day present a couple of years ago. Long Story Short - she saw motors on sale at (where else?) Wal-mart, and proudly presented me with one. I read the directions and stuff, and saw the note -"allow 2 lbs thrust for each 100 lbs of weight on board". The Motor is a MinnKota 65!! I can pull Skiers with the damn thing! :D :D :D

[rhvfd1214]

Ah, Walmart... I actually bought the trolling motor for my Pond Prowler about a year before I got the boat. It was on Clearance Sale! Walmart does a great job of slashing prices when they need the room for new inventory. Is this the Fishing Forum yet? I absolutely love fishing Netbait's Baby Paca Craw. It has been my go to confidence bait for about two years now. Flip it, swim it, pitch it, drag it. It catches fish..

"you know, early in the morning before the high octane coffee has kicked in, this puts all sorts of pictures in my brain. "

I sure am glad I didn't mention that I like Reaction Innovations "Sweet Beaver", or Netbait's "Baby Action Cat," or a "Brush Hog", "Trick Worm" or a "Big Dead Ringer." I'd hate to think what all the names of artificial bait could be associated with early in the morning to those who might not hold Perferred Member status with Bass Pro.. They could surely cause some raised eyebrows.. Also, "drop shot" isn't a basketball term. Shaky head, isn't the same as Bobble head, and Texas Rig isn't necessarily a big Peterbuilt from the Lone Star state.. Carolina Rig wouldn't be a Freightliner from Columbia, SC. Finesse fishing doesn't mean wearing dainty clothes and polished nails. Bill Dance is not something that Clinton did, and "happy hookers" could be a club that doesn't include people doing lude acts.

I find fishing much more entertaining when explosives are involved. Otherwise I get fishing and napping confused.

[rhvfd1214]

Explosive fishing can be had with a bait described as a "red popping bug." It is a stick style bait with an attached trailer. It makes an incredible hissisng noise followed by a extremely loud bang. Look for the ones with T-N-T imprinted on the side of the stick. These seem to be the most effective. Cast them out into deep water, and have a dip net ready. Don't forget to use a match or lighter to start the hissing action.

[ullrichk]

Taking your favorite huntin' dawg along while fishing with explosives is not recommended. At least not the one that retrieves ducks for you. . .

Then I will switch to a worm or brush-hog and work through a few lily pads towards the back of a creek. When the sun gets high, I'll probably back off to the deeper creek channel and Carolina rig the drops. I might even flip a jig near the stumps in the mouth of it.

[rhvfd1214]

Yesterday was a great day for fishing, however, my plan for the day changed within the first hour. My buzzbait just didn't feel right, so I switched to a spinnerbait. Within a few casts I had my first keeper. Then, I tried my lily pad and creek channel pattern that worked a few weeks ago.. No avail.. Back to the spinnerbait, with the trolling motor on medium. I covered lots and lots of water, and fished grassbeds and sparse cover(isolated stumps) with a spinnerbait on my way to a fourth place finish with 8.10 lbs. I fish in a Bass Federation Club that has several previous State Champions. I was really happy to actually be competitive among so many people that I respect.
Lunch was actually a bag of home-made peanut brittle from a local gas station, and an RC cola. Then, a trip by a fast food place for a quick cheeseburger on the way home. Nice to see our Highway Patrol out doing seatbelt checks, while my pickup has frenchfries and cheeseburger evidence all over the front seat. And yes, sir, I will get a new inspection sticker before the end of the month, Thanks Mr. Officer for pointing that out.

ACTUALLY Chief, Viva Vienna is what you get when you mix a bit of West Coast Canada with Norther Virginia, but you have to add a little hot sauce from New Orleans and a dash of Jack Daniels (there are a few other things too, but they are "secret" ingredients). Then you.... umm..eerrrr.. aaahhh ya, you get the picture ...... ;)

Seriously though, Viva Vienna is the local calling for the carnaval/fair that takes place each Memorial Day weekend, and we do EMS coverage for it. Staffing an aide tent and the ambulance for all those "Boo-boo Knees" and "Ooohhhh I'm soooooo hot" people.

Just before the Battle of Trafalgar - a conversation is overheard on the Deck of HMS Victory;

Nelson: "Order the signal, Hardy."
Hardy: "Aye, aye sir."
Nelson: "Hold on, that's not what I dictated to Flags. What's the meaning of this?"
Hardy: "Sorry sir?"
Nelson (reading aloud): " England expects every person to do his or her duty, regardless of race, gender, sexual orientation, religious persuasion or disability." "What gobbledygook is this?"
Hardy: "Admiralty policy, I'm afraid, sir. We're an equal opportunities employer now. We had the devil's own job getting ' England ' past the censors, lest it be considered racist."
Nelson: "Gadzooks, Hardy. Hand me my pipe and tobacco."
Hardy: "Sorry sir. All naval vessels have now been designated smoke-free working environments."
Nelson: "In that case, break open the rum ration. Let us splice the main brace to steel the men before battle."
Hardy: "The rum ration has been abolished, Admiral. Its part of the Government's policy on binge drinking."
Nelson: "Good heavens, Hardy. I suppose we'd better get on with it ...........full speed ahead."
Hardy: "I think you'll find that there's a 4 knot speed limit in this stretch of water."
Nelson: "Damn it man! We are on the eve of the greatest sea battle in history. We must advance with all dispatch. Report from the crow's nest please."
Hardy: "That won't be possible, sir."
Nelson: "What?"
Hardy: "Health and Safety have closed the crow's nest, sir. No harness. And they said that rope ladders don't meet regulations. They won't let anyone up there until a proper scaffolding can be
erected."
Nelson: "Then get me the ship's carpenter without delay, Hardy."
Hardy: "He's busy knocking up a wheelchair access to the fo'c'sle Admiral."
Nelson: "Wheelchair access? I've never heard anything so absurd."
Hardy: "Health and safety again, sir. We have to provide a barrier-free environment for the differently abled."
Nelson: "Differently abled? I've only one arm and one eye and I refuse even to hear mention of the word. I didn't rise to the rank of admiral by playing the disability card."
Hardy: "Actually, sir, you did. The Royal Navy is underrepresented in the areas of visual impairment and limb deficiency."
Nelson: "Whatever next? Give me full sail. The salt spray beckons."
Hardy: "A couple of problems there too, sir. Health and safety won't let the crew up the rigging without hard hats. And they don't want anyone breathing in too much salt - haven't you seen the adverts?"
Nelson: "I've never heard such infamy. Break out the cannon and tell the men to stand by to engage the enemy."
Hardy: "The men are a bit worried about shooting at anyone, Admiral."
Nelson: "What? This is mutiny !"
Hardy: "It's not that, sir. It's just that they're afraid of being charged with murder if they actually kill anyone. There's a couple of legal-aid lawyers on board, watching everyone like hawks."
Nelson: "Then how are we to sink the Frenchies and the Spanish?"
Hardy: "Actually, sir, we're not."
Nelson: "We're not?"

Hardy: "I wouldn't let the ship's diversity co-ordinator hear you saying that sir. You'll be up on disciplinary report."

Just before the Battle of Trafalgar - a conversation is overheard on the Deck of HMS Victory;

Nelson: "Order the signal, Hardy."
Hardy: "Aye, aye sir."
Nelson: "Hold on, that's not what I dictated to Flags. What's the meaning of this?"
Hardy: "Sorry sir?"
Nelson (reading aloud): " England expects every person to do his or her duty, regardless of race, gender, sexual orientation, religious persuasion or disability." "What gobbledygook is this?"
Hardy: "Admiralty policy, I'm afraid, sir. We're an equal opportunities employer now. We had the devil's own job getting ' England ' past the censors, lest it be considered racist."
Nelson: "Gadzooks, Hardy. Hand me my pipe and tobacco."
Hardy: "Sorry sir. All naval vessels have now been designated smoke-free working environments."
Nelson: "In that case, break open the rum ration. Let us splice the main brace to steel the men before battle."
Hardy: "The rum ration has been abolished, Admiral. Its part of the Government's policy on binge drinking."
Nelson: "Good heavens, Hardy. I suppose we'd better get on with it ...........full speed ahead."
Hardy: "I think you'll find that there's a 4 knot speed limit in this stretch of water."
Nelson: "Damn it man! We are on the eve of the greatest sea battle in history. We must advance with all dispatch. Report from the crow's nest please."
Hardy: "That won't be possible, sir."
Nelson: "What?"
Hardy: "Health and Safety have closed the crow's nest, sir. No harness. And they said that rope ladders don't meet regulations. They won't let anyone up there until a proper scaffolding can be
erected."
Nelson: "Then get me the ship's carpenter without delay, Hardy."
Hardy: "He's busy knocking up a wheelchair access to the fo'c'sle Admiral."
Nelson: "Wheelchair access? I've never heard anything so absurd."
Hardy: "Health and safety again, sir. We have to provide a barrier-free environment for the differently abled."
Nelson: "Differently abled? I've only one arm and one eye and I refuse even to hear mention of the word. I didn't rise to the rank of admiral by playing the disability card."
Hardy: "Actually, sir, you did. The Royal Navy is underrepresented in the areas of visual impairment and limb deficiency."
Nelson: "Whatever next? Give me full sail. The salt spray beckons."
Hardy: "A couple of problems there too, sir. Health and safety won't let the crew up the rigging without hard hats. And they don't want anyone breathing in too much salt - haven't you seen the adverts?"
Nelson: "I've never heard such infamy. Break out the cannon and tell the men to stand by to engage the enemy."
Hardy: "The men are a bit worried about shooting at anyone, Admiral."
Nelson: "What? This is mutiny !"
Hardy: "It's not that, sir. It's just that they're afraid of being charged with murder if they actually kill anyone. There's a couple of legal-aid lawyers on board, watching everyone like hawks."
Nelson: "Then how are we to sink the Frenchies and the Spanish?"
Hardy: "Actually, sir, we're not."
Nelson: "We're not?"
Hardy: "No, sir. The French and the Spanish are our European partners now. According to the Common Fisheries Policy, we shouldn't even be in this stretch of water. We could get hit with a claim for compensation."
Nelson: "But you must hate a Frenchman as you hate the devil."
Hardy: "I wouldn't let the ship's diversity co-ordinator hear you saying that sir. You'll be up on disciplinary report."

Unfortunately so bloody true--same deal for the rather gender confused young chap who joined the Para's--the Drill Sargeant asked him/she if she/him could kill a man--"Mmm,Sargy-Poo's-eventually" was the answer

The editing feature is either playing tricks on me or has been changed. I went to edit a post and there was no edit option. However, a second post I made did have the edit option. The first post was on page one of the thread, the second post was on page 2 which is the current page in the thread (Life is tough thread). I went back in this thread too and it appears that you can now only edit your post on the current page of the thread. :confused:

Life is confusing enough. I don't need more confusion on a Saturday morning.

I sent a PM to the webteam about a problem as well. Every time I post, it tells me that my post will not be visible until approved by a moderator. Sometimes takes up to a day to appear. Seems they are having some software issues. Hopefully it will be fixed soon.

EDIT-Of course, this post popped right up. Go figure.

This is only a test. If is were a real post you would have been advised to seek shelter until the storm passes.

My lack of subject matter for this thread baffles me. Does that mean I have killed the thread in my head? All of those little voices seem to have quit talking, and started humming. Maybe I have had too much cell phone radiation burning up my brain cells. Or is it the Spam and Vienna's?

Can anyone suggest a good white wine for consumption with Spam? I'm thinking a Zinfindale or Colombard, or maybe just some coke and rum.

Please don't confuse me any more than I am already confused. :confused:

the edit button from yesterday is gone so does that mean I should only look for the edits today before they are consumed by the forum squirrels? Or should I be looking for any potential future edits and refrain from making any witty comments that may or may not kill this thread? I like playing with buttons. Don't take my buttons away from me.





:eek: is about all I can say to this. I think you need to lay off the Spam and Viennas. :)

Cheffie:
I am studying this phenomena as we speak. Right now, at this very moment, my buttons from MY posts are gone, because my account is in limbo until I hit one of the two buttons below. Either "submit reply" or "preview post" buttons. I can tell you that the website could save a few bucks by getting rid of the "preview post" button. WHO IN THE...nevermind. Nobody "previews" before they hit "submit reply".
So, just before I hit the "post reply" button, I was looking at my buttons and your buttons. I noticed that I had the "edit" button and you didn't.
So, apparently, I can't see your's and you can't see mine.
Make sense?
Have I been naughty?

Received in morning e-mail from the General's Driver:

Subject: TRAFFIC JAM ON I-95

A driver is stuck in a traffic jam on US 95 south, just outside of Washington, DC. Nothing is moving north or south.

Suddenly a man knocks on his window. The driver rolls down his window and asks, "what happened? What's the hold up?"

"Terrorists have Hillary Clinton, Ted Kennedy, Jesse Jackson, Al Sharpton, Harry Reid, Nancy Pelosi, Barbara Boxer and John Kerry.

They want $10 million to release them. Otherwise, they are going to douse them with gasoline and set them on fire. We are going from car to car, taking up a collection."

The driver asks, "On average how much is everyone giving?"

The man says "About a gallon."

[rhvfd1214]

I happen to have a bottle of a "cheeky zinfindale" in my possession. It is a Texas Wine from the Dry Comal Creek vineyard. It is a White Zinfindale that has just enough red wine to make it blush. I have been saving it since I got it on vacation back in 2004. Perhaps I will pop the cork and fire the grill up. Some grilled spam and wine would make a great evening. I don't understand the spam haters. I think of spam as a quality food substance, and also a way to protect myself from terror attacks. I used to eat potted meat products, but then I found out what tripe was. Although the thought of a mechanical seperator for pork intrigues me.. Who created that object? I bet it is a monster to watch in action. How does the machine know what parts to seperate?

It is Basil, not Bayzil.

Basil is one of my favorite herbs. This is my favorite time of year for all the fresh foods that are in season,, basil, heirloom tomatoes, peaches, cherries, apricots,,

hmmm.. I am thinking, some basil, oregano, roasted garlic, roasted red peppers, capers, diced tomatoes....

fresh seafood or perhaps boneless chicken breast......

fresh baked crusty bread.....

Man Sues Drinkmaker After Unwanted Erection
Customer Says He Needed Surgery On Penis

POSTED: 8:48 am EDT June 6, 2007

NEW YORK -- Christopher Woods charges he got too much of a boost -- from an energy drink called Boost Plus.

He has sued the maker of the health drink, claiming the vitamin-enriched beverage gave him an erection that would not go away and caused him to be hospitalized.

The lawsuit said Woods, 29, drank the nutrition beverage, which is made by the Novartis pharmaceutical company, on June 5, 2004.

Woods' court papers said he woke up the next morning "with an erection that would not subside" and sought treatment of the condition. According to court documents, Woods had surgery to relieve the condition known as severe priapism. He was implanted with a Winter shunt, which moves blood from one area to another.

The lawsuit, filed late Monday, said Woods had problems that required a hospital visit and medical procedures to close blood vessels on his penis

Woods' lawsuit seeks unspecified damages. A spokeswoman for the drug company said the company did not comment on pending litigation.

Novartis' Boost Plus Web site describes the drink as "a great tasting, high calorie, nutritionally complete oral supplement for people who require extra energy and protein in a limited volume."

I tried a new fish dish the other night. I'm not exactly sure what it was, but as a description, it was a light white fish that was baked in a pan of diced tomatoes, onions, jalapeno peppers, and celantro (spelling?). It was an unusual combination of flavors with the fish, but not bad. Sometimes, it is good to try those new foods on the truck stop buffet. I haven't eaten any spam this week, but did manage to sneak in one can of Viennas.

Why isn't there any Lemon flavored Pop-tarts? Also, why not Key Lime Pie on graham cracker crust flavored Pop-tarts? I am getting tired of all the combinations of chocolate. I really miss the sugar coated plain cherry pop-tarts. I cannot find those anywhere. Everyone I see has that "frosted" coating on them. I would also like to know why such a simple pastry has over 400 calories. I have questions. I need answers. Life isn't always a box of doughnuts....

Cooking is definitely not my specialty. I don't mind manning the grill, but would rather deflect blame onto some other poor soul for burned burgers, and scorched steaks. I have had kitchen successes, mainly in the sink, where I seem to be good at dish cleaning. We are 100% volunteer at the station, so no cook on duty. On the fundraisers, we have people much more talented than myself to do cooking. Thank God!
My talents lie also within the consumption of food. I try my best to clean my plate so that the starving kids across the world would know I haven't wasted food. As for food preparation for myself, simple and easy please.

Why do we have "Air Marshals" on planes? The thought occurred to me that we should place live pigs near the cockpit. (Preferrably house broken pets.) The "flying pigs" could serve as a terrorist deterrent on all flights. Maybe they could be trained at bomb sniffing. Then we would have "bomb sniffing flying pig marshals." I can just imagine the little hams wearing dark shades, and a tactical vest, with a badge on their sides, "Air Pork Security."

Burger King, McDonald's Launch Spam War
McDonald's Has Offered Spam In Hawaii For Years

POSTED: 7:25 am EDT June 11, 2007

HONOLULU -- Burger King has launched a Spam war with McDonald's.

Burger King last month began offering Spam for breakfast in Hawaii, going head-to-head with rival McDonald's, which has been featuring Spam in the islands for years.

In Hawaii, Spam is a beloved comfort food, with cans of the gelatinous pork bricks found in virtually every cupboard. ????? :eek:

Burger King is offering the Spam Platter: two slices of Spam nestled between white rice and scrambled eggs. The fast-food giant also offers the Croissanwich or Biscuit Sandwich with Spam.

Burger King's managing director in Hawaii says sales have been "very good and very promising."

Subject: FW: Frozen Crabs

A man boarded an airplane in St. John's with a box of frozen crabs.
A female crew member took it and promised to put it in the crew's Refrigerator, which she did.

Shortly before landing, try as she might, she couldn't remember
Who gave her the package, so she announced to the entire cabin,
"Would the gentleman who gave me the crabs in St. John's please Raise your hand?"


Not one hand
