Joking - he probably wasn't in the Marines.

Was figuring the least you could do was heat them up for him...but the joke only works if he was in the Marines.

Yeah, not the marines.

I'm still curious about these crayons, but I'm too scared to google it.

No, not sexual, completely work safe. The basic jist of it is that the other services poke fun at the Marines by saying they're so dumb that they eat crayons, but the Marines ran with it and are having their own fun with owning the phrase and not letting it bother them.

But those here who have served might be able to better enlighten you. Or perhaps the current boy toy.

Just a longstanding joke amongst the military. Oddly, I'm not aware of the Marines coining anything back...which I would have thought they might. Oh well.

For sure. we do The crayons taste pretty good mixed with the jalapeno cheddar in the MRE's. But really, everything tastes better with MRE jalapeno cheese. Add in tabasco sauce and it's a delicacy.

My Marine friend here, I call her "Green" It's her favorite flavor of crayon

It was not uncommon for one to leave and another to be there within minutes of each other. Cleanliness gents....cleanliness.

Speaking of hair, I always kept a lint roller in my bedside table just for this reason. Hair wasn't so much of an issue as f*cking glitter! Glitter is to women what spraying is to animals. I have kicked women out of my house for coming over all glittered up or having clothing on that sheds glitter. I actually had one that offered to shower to remove said glitter so she could stay....she stayed.

Devils dust. Will always fuck you. Paired with any vanilla scent and that’s a wrap.

Sara, Sara, no time is a good time, oh

It’s not hard to have a cleaning crew swing by the house once a week and keep it clean. It’s money well spent.

From what I’m told it was for a select group of folks who were trustworthy. I can think of more people in here I wouldn’t share my address with than those I would . So there’s that.

I was wondering how the sharing of addresses would work.

[Cyn-BMW]

Is there a price limit? I’m poor, you know. If you’re all worried about addresses, can’t you sent and receive packages from a postal store, like a UPS store?

I'll start with a somewhat neutral story on the bad side. I had pursued a girl for about 8 months because we had great chemistry and she had freckles. Over eight months of chatting/hanging out on occasion we got to know each other very well. We had talked about dating and going out but our schedules never lined up. Apparently she had a date scheduled with a guy one night and he blew her off. She was already dolled up and wanted to get out so she called me. (I hope I'm painting the picture well of why we went out together) We had planned to go grab some drinks, some dinner and to play putt-putt. We go to a restaurant, order drinks and the entire time I'm trying to talk to her and joke around, she can't seem to put her phone down. I continue.....and so does she. It finally gets to where I'm saying random things as she is nodding her head, pretending to be listening, just to see her reaction....nothing. At this time, I had a facebook account so I decided to mimic her and just get on facebook and ignore much like she was doing to me. It was then that I saw she was commenting on some post on facebook. At first I thought she may have been texting her kids or something that required attention but no, I'm paying for drinks for this person to sit across from me and be on facebook. After I finish my second drink, I start making comments like, "If you don't start paying attention to me, I'm going to leave your ass here"......just a simple nod and a giggle. The next comment was, "If I leave you're paying for the drinks." Again, she giggles and smiles at me from across the table. My net comment was, "I'm going to act like I'm going to the bathroom but I'm going to leave. On my way out, I'm going to tell the waitress to give you the check." She made no form of acknowledgement whatsoever, so I got up, went to my car and left her there. She tried calling several times that evening. Hours after I had left her there, I sent her text apologizing for not answering the phone, I was preoccupied.

That evening ended on a great note, but with another girl.

Let's hear those stories!

Don't ever get yourself with an attention whore or an ABG (Asian Baby Girl). Wait. My wife was and still is my ABG. Just avoid the attention whores.

In the Israeli Defence Force they are called Manat Krav. Which means, combat meal. They aren’t that bad, after you get used to them and are hungry, that is. You’re usually to busy and on alert so much, that food kinda becomes something that you just want to wolf down and get over with. The only thing I really didn’t like was the tuna. For me, it’s pretty hard to make tuna taste good. It is really nice though when you don’t have to eat them anymore and you can eat what you want.

Forums are different these days. Hard pass on that. We even donated farm animals to a small village in some country can't remember. Buncha goats though. It was a pleasant group, minimal drama and definitely none of these bullshit stories circulating around lol

Yep those were good times, unfortunately that ship has sailed. It was goats that we donated. A few of us still do a secret santa thing but it's a small group from the old days.
