Raindrops on noses and whiskers on kittens
Bright copper kitten-fur and even more kittens
Brown fuzzy kitty cats, chasing some string
Kittens are pretty much my favourite things.

I like bats, they're like flying kittens/puppy dogs.

Quote

"If the account given in Genesis is really true, ought we not, after all, to thank this serpent? He was the first schoolmaster, the first advocate of learning, the first enemy of ignorance, the first to whisper in human ears the sacred word "liberty"...the creator of ambition, the author of modesty, of inquiry, of doubt, of investigation, of progress and of civilization. Give me the storm and tempest of thought and action, rather than the dead calm of ignorance and faith! Banish me from Eden when you will; but first let me eat of the fruit of the tree of knowledge!" - Robert G. Ingersoll, 1872

As I rose from my seat a few hours ago, surrounded by other speechless, shell-shocked critics (including a similarly-baffled young woman, lest you think this a case of the Old Boy's Club ganging up on a "girl movie") fumbling for a description of what we'd just endured; the only encapsulation I could muster was that we'd witnessed Highlander as retold with Lisa Frank stickers by a 4 year-old girl to her plush dolls and then re-adapted back into a movie by Tommy Wiseau.

So "yut" is the Marine equivalent of "dude"?

~~GarandMarine~~ · « **Reply #3614 on:** 16 Feb 2014, 08:30 »

Yeah basically. Marines can and do have entire conversations with "yut" "kill" and various curse words. Just remember, fuck is not a curse word for me and mine. Fuck is a comma.

Should you find yourself in Ye Merrie Olde England and feeling a little homesick, I can strongly recommend that you seek the company of the youth of Birkenhead.

In fact these youths bear many similarities to members of the USMC. They are most comfortable in uniform, have a frank and open relationship with death and killing, carry strong familial ties with each other and obey an extra-ordinary honour code. In fact if if I were to be pressed for one word which would afford easy distinction between the two groups, the most appropriate that I can come up with is "shiny".

Have observed this behavior in Marines' native habitat. concur with statement.
In fact, witnessed the following 'correction'
"Don't fucking cuss in front of the goddam fucking female civilians! Act like a fucking professional, goddamit!"

Spoken with authority and straight-faced sincerity from a VERY senior enlisted to a LCpl in my office: in front of said female civilian & totally without realization of the irony of statement.

somedays, it's fucking awesome to work with Marines.

Hahahaha. Hel's Heels that takes me back.

"Listen shithead you have to quit fucking saying "fuck" all the time. You're making yourself look bad ya'fuck"

Then there's REALLY senior SNCOs, where you get shit like this:

Quote from: Max, author of Terminal Lance's blog

I often-times find the many dialects of the Marine Corps to be interesting, or at least entertaining. It’s strange how once someone goes into bootcamp and gets shit out the other side, their entire vocabulary is increased (or decreased really) with a bunch of nonsensical grunts and half-phrases. Some of these people continue to talk like this for years, to a point where I feel it actually starts to deteriorate their vocabulary uncontrollably. I refer to this as “SNCO Syndrome,” keep in mind that not all Staff NCO’s suffer from this. Often times when people get to the fleet, their motivation becomes torn in half at the reality of it all and they start to regain their original thought processes again.

Some, however, retain this mode of thought and speech. This comic is actually inspired by a true story. I had a Master Guns who would literally say “Cleared Hot!” in place of most of this vocabulary. Sometimes it made sense, most of the time it didn’t. I know how it impacted the work environment, which is to say, not really at all. However, I can’t imagine that at home yelling “Cleared Hot!” at the most inappropriate times would end well. These things carry on all over the Corps though; my recruiter, a Staff Sergeant at the time, used to end every sentence and answer every question with “Good to Go.” As strange as it is, usually you knew what he meant. Other words permeate the barracks and chow halls of the Marine Corps, such as Hello, Roger, and the almost always inappropriate, Kill or it’s extended version: Kill Bodies. I think what bothers me the most about Kill as a response is that it’s never the people who’ve actually killed someone that use it.

Whatever the case, I think all Marines–SNCO’s and motivated junior enlisted need to expand their vocabularies. If you’re the kind of person that can answer a question with Semper Fi, you probably need to be on medication. Marine-Speak though, love it or hate it–to each his own–is universally understood by Marines alike, whether they use it or not.

With that said, welcome to comic #2! I plan on keeping Tuesday and Friday as my update days. I’m going to try and hold true to that as best I can. I’m still working on getting a forum up. As I mentioned in the news, as I work on the site things may come and go and do some crazy shit, so just bare with it. Eventually I’ll get everything settled to a point where I can leave it alone. The forum is coming, I’m trying to find one that’s suitable and easy for someone like me who knows nothing about PHP and HTML to use.

One last note, I’d like all you motivated warfighters to do me a favor. If you have a buddy (all Marines have “a buddy”) who happens to be stationed elsewhere such as Pendleton or Lejeune, please send them the site and let them have a look around. Lets make this shit Marine Corps wide!

Out.

It’s hilarious that non-Americans on Tumblr are all like “OMG DENNY’S TUMBLR MAKES ME WISH I LIVED IN AMERICA SO I COULD EAT THERE,” while us Americans will literally only eat at Dennys if it’s 3 in the morning and we’ve lost control of our life.
You don’t go to Denny’s. You end up at Denny’s.

Denny's is food only if you're drunk. If one of your party isn't passed the fuck out in the booth and intermittently waking up and eating with their hands (Me new years eve) you have made a poor restraunt choice and certainly had better options available.

The cards are from the amazing game Cards Against Humanity.

I went to Denny's with my dad once on a New Years' Eve. My mom was working late, and my dad couldn't be trusted with cooking. The only other person there was a 90-year-old lady. She didn't have anyone to spend New Years' Eve with, so we ended up hanging out with her for the evening.

That sounds kinda neat.. learn anything interesting from her?

cesium133 · « **Reply #3633 on:** 17 Feb 2014, 08:29 »

She told me some things about what the town was like when she was young (in the 1920s/1930s, IIRC she was born in 1911). It was pretty interesting.

Olympic Skating is so graceful

I keep imagining that guy in the first pic being like "OMG BOOBS!"

(replaced above link with the actual source)

It's called Fashion, look it up

Also.. I'm pretty sure this same thing was used in the Metalocalypse episode "Dethfashion"

At least the left half.. I didn't realize it was two pics

Worth it..
