Theoretical conversation between your humble scribe and a usually friendly Army guy, in which it is averred (alas: not for the first time) that the former is not taking this sh!t seriously enough

Usually Friendly Army Guy (note: Contrary to convention, and in the interest of inter-service comity, we will not acronymize this name): So. You seem to have a lot of time on your hands.

YHS:

Usually Friendly Army Guy: You know. Blogging and such.

YHS:

Usually Friendly Army Guy: Low quality blogging, too, as who could say.

YHS:

Usually Friendly Army Guy: Just barely tending, at times? Into the mediocre.

YHS:

YHS:

Usually Friendly Army Guy: Why’nt you write some good stuff?

YHS:

Usually Friendly Army Guy: You know. Important.

YHS:

Usually Friendly Army Guy: Or entertaining, anyways. Like “Rhythms.”

YHS:

Usually Friendly Army Guy: Those are good. I like them.

YHS:

Usually Friendly Army Guy: “Rhythms.”

YHS:

Usually Friendly Army Guy: So.

  • Those who can, do. Those who can’t, critique.

  • Sim

    It’s allright Lex, we love you.

    (No, not in a don’t ask don’t tell kind of way) :o

  • Dedcentre

    Call me feeble minded BUUUT… I find that any blog entry with Lex’s style of humor is well worth the read. Maybe not so much the political stuff as the flying stuff. And the sea stories. And Rythms. Rythms is good.

  • Babs

    At least this time you weren’t talking to a burrito…

  • One might argue that the burrito provided wittier repartee than the current subject.

    One might, but I wouldn’t, because I am, obviously, all about the unity ;-)

  • MajMike

    obviously a theoretical conversation, as the UFArG never once uttered the word “Squid”….

    (and, no, i was not going to be tricked into abbreviating that in any other manner)

  • Kris, in New England

    A bit testy, aren’t we… ;-)

  • lex

    Nah, we’re just having fun ;-)

  • Subsunk

    Listening to your iPod were you, CAPT Lex? Serves him right for not being observant.

    Because we all know you are not deaf, now, don’t we youngster? Despite any child’s claims to the contrary. ;)

  • butch

    Channeling Jeff G, are we?

  • MajMike

    much more realistic now.

  • Yeah, all UFArG’s know that Lex is a Naval Radiator, not really a squid. He wears the comfortable shoes, vice the ones the rest of the Navy wears.

    Or something like that.

  • And really cool sunglasses and a neat leather jacket with all them patches on it…

  • SFC D

    Don’t forget they get those really cool nicknames too.

  • Subsunk

    Speaking of which, could we somehow, some way get a peek at one of the Good CAPT’s nicknames? Even if it were posted before anonymously or vicariously through some other youngster’s story, eventually, we’ve all got to be able to sift through the Rhythms and great stories here to find a hint. So just for grins, CAPT, try a discussion of nicknames from the wardroom in a future post. To educate all us true squids who’ve never actually had one we could repeat in mixed company.

    Subsunk out.

    “Naval Radiator”….I gotta remember that next month when I get to JAX…surrounded by all those P-3 Chiefs in them comfortable shoes and leather jackets like they’re “Naval Radiators”. Thanks, John.
