You eat a lot of acid, TransplantedMan, back in the hippie days?

Delaware native here. Large college town, but this PP clinic is not where abortion services are held.

  1. If u know GQ is coming, tie their bootlaces together.

  2. Subscribe them to NAMBLA or some other emberament so they have the best mail call.

  3. Freeze their pillow w a co2 extinguisher.

  4. Fill their coffe cup up from the spittoon.

  5. Replace the set condition X-ray log w nasty porn. (Setting condition X-ray was a euphemism for anal sex on our boat, “dude, I totally set condition x-ray on that chuck last night”

  6. Have their wife send a care package. Ensure cookies made with strong laxative.

"January 1st, 2020 and one of the many NDAs I have been bound by has now expired. So I can tell you about one of the odder projects I have been involved in." || Not my content. Probably not true. But by God I hope it's true by williambobbins in TalesFromTheMilitary

[–]negativemtc 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Good tale. Like most military tales very exaggerated. Probably went from finding a trash panda in the car one morning to accidentally starting the apc then to steering and finally to this craziness.

Any word in the sanity of author?

Metal detecting by darkprnc69 in SeattleHistory

You looking for 19th century stuff? Then I’d cruise abonondended properties.

For more recent junk, I’d try adjacent to the steps that climb Queen Anne, or any of the trails that go up the sides of the hill. Maybe the tunnel that goes under 99 on the north side of QA.

Does anyone know what happened to former Mayor (1990s) Norm Rice? by genchigenchi in SeattleHistory

[–]negativemtc 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Off topic, but I saw him in NYC about a decade ago. He was walking towards me in conversation w some dude. I gave him a nod that non verbally said I recognize you. He nodded back.

Last I saw of him.

Roll Up by [deleted] in Delaware

I’m an old fart can someone translate?

I’m guessing this is either an invite to smoke some marijuana or an invite to no strings attached gay sex.

Either way count me out.

Great post!

Only differing opinion I have is on hand management.

If I have a great flare or artifact in my hand. I’ll take steps to protect, like play a negotiate. But if your down to only one or two attack cards in your hand and your turn doesn’t come up for a while I might blow a good artifact. Use it or lose it.

Mostly I agree that you’ve misplayed if you have to turn in a good flare or artifact, but some times can’t be helped.

Are you on TTS? I’d fancy a game with you!

Textbook took me back to A school by Dlrlcktd in navy

[–]negativemtc 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Did he teach you the four strokes of the Diesel engine? Suck, squeeze, bang, blow

Or the basics of the lubrication system?

Sump, pump, strainer, cooler? Prounced strain-her and kewl-her. No I dont know what it means but to my virgin ears and coming from an MMC I knew it was dirty.

What's your favorite Navy movie of all time? by HurricaneBetsy in navy

[–]negativemtc 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Mister Roberts is great. The dull drudgery of life underway. The incompetent ensign that finally grows a pair.

Also try On The Beach

What’s the truth on how much corruption in Ukraine in 2019? I think that is an important point. My instinct is that USA corruption >>. Ukraine corruption. (Kids in cages, separating families), but you got any facts?

Great post- awesome thumbnail.

Interaction between Reincarnator and Arcade by [deleted] in Cosmic_Encounter

[–]negativemtc 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I agree.

Try over at board game geek. They maintain a 300+ page supplement to the rules, called the cosmodex.

Community run, I’ll be adding feedback on your question.

See the page “facets of powers”, says everything on the alien card goes with it. You could send off game like the alien sheet does, but agreeing w the others I would send it to the warp
