That's nothing. Did he tell you that with CTMs going away, he's going to switch rates?

Yup, soon we will have CS3 Lonestar running around...at least he'll have Rob to talk to about the idiocies of his coworkers... :twisted:

This can of Pepsi alledgely says "Bepsi".
It's actually Bebsi. Cos there's no phonetic p in Arabic, at least not in the proper alphabet. Sometimes to get a phonetic p, they modify the phonetic b character by adding a couple more dots to the dot at the bottom. But the purists frown on that sort of thing.

If it's alright to ask, what ships are in your ESG? The three phibs, and which/how many cans? Is there a SSN with your group too?

Maybe one of the Marines has interacted with you ground pounders enough to translate Squid Speak into Wannabee. :twisted:







*Hint* RogueIce's dig at Lonestar mentions Rob. It's subtly referencing back to April Fool's Day. :wink:
