Or at least have a mask made of it to scare the **** out of people in dark alleys. :lol:

Had some good times and scary times so far over here. Everything is mostly quiet though just the way it should be :D

If the address I gave you is my APO, then of course you can write to it :P

Just change the PFC part to SPC :dance:

Good to see you Al. We miss you. :flag:

[GoBucks]

Just change the PFC part to SPC :dance:


Congrats on the promo:clap: Stay safe over there!

[GoBucks]

Hey AL, I see you are back on line. What time is it over there?

[ALcard]

Hey AL, I see you are back on line. What time is it over there?

0430 :confused:

[GoBucks]

whoa, that's early! I appreciate what you are doing over there. Need anything from state side? You or your friends in general? Lemme know

[ALcard]

Need anything from state side? You or your friends in general? Lemme know

Tell my platoon sergeant to stop making us run at 0500 in the morning :))

[GoBucks]

If I had that kind of pull I would! I think that falls under cruel and unusual punishment. The only thing anyone should be doing at that hour is having sweet dreams

[ALcard]

I even had a dream last night that I was running :)) :doh:

[GoBucks]

Definitely not a "sweet dream". I could try to give your CO the riot act on the inhumane hour of running, but I wouldn't want to tick him off and make it worse.

Maybe thinking of something you enjoy right before going to sleep would fend off the running dreams.

Is that you in your sig with the smoke or the little girl?

I'm not in the banner I made. That was made quite a while before I enlisted.

Great pics and videos. Thanks for sharing, they are very interesting.

Its a shame you will be over there for your birthday, but being home for your anniversary definitely overshadows that.

I'd better get back to work now...

ALcard ... do you remember how long and how hard you worked to get where you are? you asked for it ... you got it.
and I am so damn proud of you. :hug:


I also got your package ready to send and I didn't even write a note to put in with it :doh:
.. I'll send a letter seperately. I just wanted to hurry and get the package in the mail.

[Mustang JEB]

I never had any days off while I was deployed. I didn't want any either.

But hey, that's me. I enjoyed myself.;)

[ALcard]

The day off was referenced towards the FOBits that get such things :P

Mel, you're awesome! Did you know that? :dance:

Can't have a rambling thread without this song...

Ramble On



Leaves are falling all around,
It's time I was on my way.
Thanks to you I'm much obliged,
For such a pleasant stay.

But now it's time for me to go,
The autumn moon lights my way.
For now I smell the rain,
And with it pain,
And it's headed my way.
Sometimes I grow so tired,
But I know I've got one thing I got to do,

Ramble on,
And now's the time the time is now.
To sing my song,
I'm going around the world,
I got to find my girl.
On my way,
I've been this way ten years to the day.
Ramble on,
Gotta find the queen of all my dreams.

Got no time to for spreading roots,
The time has come to be gone.
And though our health we drank a thousand times,
It's time to ramble on.

Ramble on,
And now's the time the time is now.
To sing my song,
I'm going around the world,
I got to find my girl.
On my way,
I've been this way ten years to the day.
Ramble on,
Gotta find the queen of all my dreams.

I ain't telling no lie.

Mine's a tale that can't be told,
My freedom I hold dear.
How years ago in days of old,
When magic filled the air.
It was in the darkest depths of Mordor,
I met a girl so fair.
But Gollum and the evil one crept up,
And slipped away with her.

Ain't nothing I can do no,
I guess I'll keep on rambling.
I'm gonna shake.
Gonna ramble on, sing my song.
Gonna work my way around the world.
I can't stop this feeling in my heart,
Gotta keep searching for my baby


Stay safe Alcard. :flag:

Ramble On Rose

Just like Jack the Ripper, just like Mojo Hand,
Just like Billy Sunday, in a shotgun ragtime band,
Just like New York City, just like Jerico,
Pace the halls and climb the walls and get out when they blow.

Did you say your name was Ramblin Rose?
Ramble on baby, settle down easy
Ramble on Rose.

Just like Jack and Jill, Mama told the jailor
One hear up, and one cool down, leave nothin' for the tailor.
Just like Jack and Jill, Papa told the jailer
One go up, and one go down, do yourself a favor.

Did you say your name was Ramblin Rose?
Ramble on baby, settle down easy
Ramble on Rose.

I'm gonna to sing you a hundred verses in ragtime,
I know this song it ain't never gonna end.
I'm gonna march you up and down along the county line,
Take you to the leader of a band.

Just like Crazy Otto, just like Wolfman Jack,
Sittin plush with a royal flush, aces back to back.
Just like Mary Shelly, just like Frankenstein,
Clank your chains and count your change and try to walk the line.

Did you say your name was Ramblin Rose?
Ramble on baby, settle down easy
Ramble on Rose.

I'm gonna to sing you a hundred verses in ragtime,
I know this song it ain't never gonna end.
I'm gonna march you up and down along the county line,
Take you to the leader of a band.

Goodbye Mama and Papa
Goodbye Jack and Jill
The grass ain't greener
The wine ain't sweeter
Either side of the hill.

Did you say your name was Ramblin Rose?
Ramble on baby, settle down easy
Ramble on Rose.

Well I guess it would depend on what he was doing ot the grill....if he was taking it apart to mount in on a permanat stone base where I could store my 30 lb tank under it and provide me with a side board where I could have a mighty fine Boos cutting board then by all means let him have at it....but on the other hand he better not even look funny at Big Bertha with a power tool in his hand or he will never taste Brisket Nirvana again....
