Q: How do you fit 50 Cubans in a cardboard box?
A: You tell them it floats.

I’ve also heard of Marines being referred to as “Crunchies”  :mrgreen:

International mailing sucks!  :x

What happened to putting down your favorite quotes?

Here’s another one from yet another Navy buddy of mine:

“You know that show Pimp My Ride?  Well you need to be on the show Pimp My Life.”

Ha!  That’s the spirit!  :lol:

“I don’t like that guy.  If he was drowning and needed my help, I’d throw him a cinder-block.”  :evil:

I would like to make a suggestion concerning air units’ involvement.

Maybe have Set 3 include maps with one side water, one side land.  The water side will be used for strictly dogfights obviously.  When it comes to using planes on the land side, I was thinking of having planes’ stat cards having two build point values.  One would be it’s point value in the dogfight setting, while the other would be if you just wanted to make one air strike with that plane.  I realize that this might not be the most realistic idea, but it just seems that if you allowed airplanes to run amok in future sets, then ground units will lose their effectiveness.  One way to counter this last point could be to have AA guns able to cover say, a three-to-five hex radius around the gun?  :|

I know also that the official word says nothing about bombers.  I was just thinking that when it comes to dogfights, maybe have one side being the escorting side, and the other side being the intercepting side.  If the escorting side loses a certain percentage of their bombers period, then they lose.

Just throwing a few ideas out there…

(Not verbatim)

“Why so sad guys?  Whatsa matter, didn’t everybody get laid by a beautiful MP last night?”  :lol:

Hey, that’s a good idea, geno!  8-)

I looove chocolate.  But I can’t eat it because then I’ll get fat.  But it’s SOoooooo good!

That would be where the rules put a fine line between Line Of Sight and Line Of Fire.

Fuggit all.  Just play Germany and Russia vs. Everyone else!  :-D

I finally got the R2 LT-35.  To all of you who need the same tank, just know:  it’s nothing too special.  Ironic that the tank I spent the most money to get ends up being a piece of crap.  :-P

Another sailor buddy of mine:

“I f**kin’ hate Green Day.  I think Green Day, Blink 182, and Sum 41 should all be duck taped together and shot into the sun.”

:lol: I laughed my a** off the first time I heard that one!  :lol:

Hey thanks man.  I’ll be on duty on the 25th, but Merry Christmas to you too.

If anyone has seen Spawn, the animated series by Todd McFarlane that was on HBO, then it helps to explain my previous point.

I hate to ruin the story for anyone who hasn’t seen it, but it will greatly clarify my beliefs.  The main character (Spawn/Al Simmons) failed the “entrance exam” that is life.  In fact, he failed miserably, and ended up being a servant of Hell.  His after-life might even be a bit worse than any ordinary person who ends up in Hell.  (I don’t know from experience)  Anyway, throughout the series, he learns how he messed up, how to correct his behavior (specifically, the ones that caused him to fail the test in the first place) and how he can go about regaining his humanity.  Now, this is fiction, but it illustrates a very good point, perhaps the best point, as far as how to learn from one’s mistakes.

If God is almighty and has the power and the authority to judge people, then let Him do so.  He is the one who does that, not anyone else.  So if anyone chooses to let others know “Hey, don’t do that or you’re gonna go to Hell”, it’s like God is always having people double-checking his work.  If God is truly “the Man” being omnipotent and all, then leave Him be to do His thing.  This is why topics such as these are a double-edged sword:  I get fed up about people trying to push their beliefs on others, all the while reminding others of the “consequences”.  At the same time, I usually avoid this topic for the aforementioned reason, but at times like this, I get the opportunity to vent and tell people how I really feel.

Anyway, my golden rule when it comes to religion is “Live and let Live.”  If anyone disagrees with that, well then (say it with me now) “That’s fine with me.”  I happen to believe that I’m going to Heaven, and I believe that I can see everyone else on Earth there eventually.  Such is the nature of my belief structure.  So even if it seems like I’m arguing with any of you, I’m not.  In my opinion, getting into Heaven is like an entrance exam.  How we live our lives determines how well we do on this exam.  If we fail, no big deal.  Just re-take it after a certain amount of time, and then if we pass, we get into Heaven.  If more people throughout history had looked at it this way, there would definitely have been fewer wars. (at least for religious reasons  :roll:)

Let me combine this thread with another one I’ve run into and put it like this:

“It’s not about who’s wrong or right.  No denomination has nailed it yet, because they’re all too self-righteous to realize that it doesn’t matter what you have faith in - just that you have faith.”

Yes, that is exactly right.

If a unit takes two hits in a phase, it gets a disrupted counter.  Three hits in one phase, it gets a destroyed counter.

All these quotes come from sailor buddies of mine:

“She’s dumb as a fkin’ rock, but hey, I’d fk a rock that looked like that.”

“The minimum wouldn’t be the minimum if it wasn’t good enough.”

“I don’t wanna blow my own horn here, but I’m the mother-f**ckin’ man!”
