Now It Can Be Told

[Arthur Rubin]

Yes, I've seen the 213 things list and yes, it's no joke, Furby really isn't allowed in classified spaces. That really is a DOD regulation.

When I was working in a SCIF (that's Sensitive Compartmentalized Information Facility), they announced the Furby rule at one of our weekly "meet and greet" (I mean, formal introduction) meetings.

They relaxed the rule on cell phones; you could have it with you if turned off and the battery was removed.

Good luck to you.

I do NOT envy you, Doktor. Stay safe and keep in touch .... and a heartfelt thank-you for your service.

No, I don't suspect anyone wants to be me right now.

Thank you, Trippy. It's a honor to serve.

Thank you, Trippy. It's a honor to serve.

Wants to be you in your present circumstances, perhaps not.
However, since age 16, I've been deemed "physically unfit for military service."

To this day, I regret the oppoprtunity for that experience and the opportunity to pay back a portion of what I owe.

I truly appreciate that there are others who volunteer to do what I could not.

The PM function on the site is ****ed up, (it can't find you as a user!) so I'll be brief: Thank you.

You're welcome, Judge. And thank you.

do you think that you're going to come to love the feeling of hot sand rubbing up against your nether-region?

Making love on the beach once is romantic. Making love on the beach twice is masochistic.

Trash clean-up please.

It seems some idiot is walking through the house with muddy boots on, again.

Done.

David, Dr. A's announcement was not an invitation to express your theories on the war(s) or China. I shifted all the posts along those lines to http://quatloos.com/Q-Forum/viewtopic.php?f=37&t=5444. You can continue the conversation there.

Dr. A, do you think that you're going to come to love the feeling of hot sand rubbing up against your nether-region? If you do, I think my organization can arrange for that to happen frequently upon your safe return. If not, I'll send you over a woman made from old pool plaster so you can start learning to enjoy it.

Oh, I'll also be sending over daily deliveries of marital aides. Feel free to re-gift them to the guys you're serving with. It will make you very popular.

Also, since you're on loan to the army, you should review the 213 things Skippy is no longer allowed to do in the U.S. Army. And while you're down there, ask all the army guys if they know where to find Skippy. I think he'd make a great new bobble-head for my desk.

Webhick, I think I'm going to miss you most of all when I'm in country.

That's why I'm giving you marital aides every day. The best way to remember your friends at Q is to open up your mail and have a battery operated boyfriend staring you right in the eye, so to speak. I mean, who else would care for you enough to make you the most popular girl in the army?

Skippy is out of the Army now and has been for quite some time. While he was in he served with the 1st, 6th and 9th PSYOP Battalion. I believe he served in Bosnia.

That's not the point. You have to look for him anyway. You need to go down in history as the guy who starts every conversation with "If you need batteries for that, let me know," "Have you seen Skippy? If I don't find Skippy, they're going to give me a fourth nipple," or "Hey, have you seen my third nipple? I think I may left it near the Sloppy Joe mix...." They might just send you back early.

Thanks, Doc. Be safe! If you find internet access - drop us a line.

I should be able to - I'm going to be in charge of maintaining it.

[Harvester]

Thank you for your service Doktor.

Too bad you're not paying for your share of that service, Harvmeister, it gives an odd ring to your statement of thanks. People like you are the "welfare queens" of the new millennium - taking a free ride at my expense.

T minus five days and counting...

Thank you, everyone.

Thank you, everyone.

You know, there's still time to run naked through the streets with a rabid raccoon on your head. I don't believe the military would be too keen on keeping you when you've got "unexplained" claw marks on your stomach and thighs.

Thank you, everyone.

Keep a cool paw, live, laugh, love and be happy.

Keep the head down and thank you.

Thank you, and all of your buddies.

[Cathulhu]

Godspeed, Doktor, and thank you. Be safe.

God Bless, God speed, and thank you for your service, from an old ex-Army type.
