After that, it's her problem.

[MoP]

You just do her so you can smoke her hairy armpits!

[owly]

So you know then......

[Atla]

ugh

[bigSparky]

What's REALLY funny is how you've convinced yourself that it's been your choice

[Atla]

...that was a helluva mean thing to say!

[bigSparky]

Uhmmm, Marines don't cry there bub.

[owly]

i'm in the Merchant Marine and i cry at all the dumbest movies lol

[Atla]

Not entirely true BigSparky...ever seen 'The Sands of Iwo Jima'?

I'd like to see a Marine not cry when John Wayne gets killed at the flag raising!

[Nagash]

What's REALLY funny is how you've convinced yourself that it's been your choice

It's the picking on Atla season!

[Venus]

[Atla]

No only did they have the three survivors actually in the movie for the flag raising, they even used the ORIGINAL flag!

Groovy.

[bigSparky]

The guy that starts reading the letter, Forrest Tucker, I find it interesting that he went from roles in movies like that, then went on to play Sgt. O'Rourke in F-Troop.

[Atla]

To get this back on track - I DESPISE resumes.

Apparently I lack the 'verbose-itude' needed to fluff a resume up to make everything sound better than it really is.

Friggin' A.

[Doginiz]

I think you just killed the thread.

Let me check.

Yeah, you killed it.

[Gerien]

[MoP]

Well, if the thread wasn't completely dead already, Gerien surely stabbed it several times again to make sure it never resurrects again...

[Nagash]

A good resume is like 'The sands of Iwo Jima': grossly exaggerated in a sort-of believable way.
