  Roll tide… and if you’re an Auburn fan it’s:

  War Eagle!

  We keep our stocks up in Texas, too. No Neville Chamberlains here.

  Go Vols?

  Quote at a meeting held here: ” It is football season now and this is Alabama. If you hold a meeting on Friday afternoon, you are just asking for trouble. We have our traditions to uphold here……….”

  Tell me this PR sprung from the fertile brain of Lexx–Tell me it is not an ACTUAL release (side-splittingly funny as it is.) Please, for the love of God, tell me.

  Lex, that’s “Roll Tide” with a capital “T”…

  I’d comment longer, but am using my lunch hour to lay in supplies - already got my ammo.

  And thats’ herself, from whose fecund mind the original notion sprang

  Another reminder why even if I live in New York the rest of my life, I will never apologize for growing up in the South.

  Go Hogs, Beat Bama!

  Go Gators, whup ‘em all! (chomp…chomp…chomp!)

  A hillbilly farmer named Hollis
  Used possums and snakes for his solace
  His children had scales
  And prehensile tails
  And voted for Governor Wallace

  Hold it. This close to the start of hunting season, I’d bet that the boys (and G.R.I.T.S.) of Alabama could fight for 2 weeks before they needed ammunition resupply.

  Not to mention, I don’t care how much time they trained in Cuba or Venezuela, the Russian Army would wilt trying to take Alabama in August.

  Peter,

  My Gunny at NSI in Newport was from Auburn and “WAR EAGLE” was our war cry at each sighting of him and while doing numerous Mountainclimbers, Fartleks and 8 count body builders in the infamous Poodle sized Goose S%^t next to the bay.

  As a result, everytime I hear/read WAR EAGLE, I have severe reactions, although not quite as bad as years ago; shortly after the conclusion of the aforementioned experience, when those two words resulted in unfortunate accidents, including some of the advertised side effects of Olestra….

  PS, thats a heck of a runon…

  How many rounds of ammo and reloading components are enough? Well, getting to the point of thinking about converting an outer cellar to a magazine is a good start. Yep, I’m there.

• 13 Humble1390 // Aug 26, 2008 at 7:22 pm

  Wow, my guns seem to breed in the safe all on their own. Three months ago, I had 1 gun, ostensibly for defense purposes. Yesterday, popped open the safe and there were 5. And there’s room for more!!

  But, how much ammo IS too much ammo? ‘Cause, I always thought it was about 1000, but now. . .not so much.

• 14 Gregory Kong // Aug 27, 2008 at 2:36 am

  If, pound for pound, your ammunication weighs more than your total available food supply (including food currently walking around on his/her own two/four feet), then you’ll have too much ammo.

  Otherwise, no such thing.

  *snort*

  I wouldn’t want to be a soldier in any army trying to pacify Alabama, or Texas, or North Carolina, or Tennessee, or….

• 16 butch // Aug 27, 2008 at 4:27 am

  Too much ammo?

  Cocks head, trying to wrap mind around that concept … Naaaaaah! That’s unpossible!

• 17 RetRsvMike // Aug 27, 2008 at 5:01 am

  blah blah blah Tide..
  yada yada Gators..
  bippity bippity Hogs…

  hmm. evidently there just MIGHT be some kind of athletic contest out there other than the one in 101 days, wherein the mighty Army team will beat the wool out of that scrofulous goat.

  not saying there ARE other contests, just MIGHT be other contests.

  …huh, who knew?

• 18 BMG Mike // Aug 27, 2008 at 5:03 am

  Four things you will never find:

  Too big a gun safe; Too much ammo; Too much whiskey; Unicorns (the Cajuns done et em all)

  Mike

• 19 Skippy-san // Aug 27, 2008 at 5:15 am

  I thought the Unicorns missed boarding the Ark.

  They read the departure schedule wrong or got held up in Security……………..

• 20 Tom Goering // Aug 27, 2008 at 6:10 am

  These must have been the higher educated Alabamians as they were aware Georgia could be close and was more than just a football team or a breed of dog.

  Go Gators!

  Army doesn’t have a chance.

• 21 Snake Eater // Aug 27, 2008 at 10:29 am

  This red-neck, goat-roping, revival meeting has been most entertaining…thanks y’all. Best

• 22 xairboss // Aug 27, 2008 at 1:10 pm

  Skippy:

  If you do happen to find a Unicorn - remember , never play leap frog with one.

• 23 Buck // Aug 27, 2008 at 1:58 pm

  What? No link? Or didja just fabricate this yourownself, Lex? I SO wanna steal this…

• 24 lex // Aug 27, 2008 at 4:13 pm

  I was inspired by Miss Birdlegs, from Alabama. Who I know wouldn’t mind if you borrowed this.

• 25 Amy // Aug 27, 2008 at 8:29 pm

  Oh, but the Russians do want Alabama…

  Badly.

  Claudio,

  So, what year at NSI? I was there in ‘81 learning the all important steam cycle.

• 27 claudio // Aug 28, 2008 at 7:16 pm

  Curtis.
  I was there in 92. I already knew the steam cycle. Funny story re Steam, when I took my ESWS board in 88 as YN3, first question was from the OPS guy to describe the Steam cycle on the boat. after I drew it with a whole lotsa extras, the BTC mentioned I was a Snipe for 2 years. thus ended the engineering questions. My hardest topic whilst also one of the most fascinating was Celestial Nav. Thank God my neighbor was a QMC.
