matcom and I had lunch together yesterday

[DS1]

and yes, he rode his scooter there


But the question is, if an older guy who is wearing a brand-fucking-new USMC hat sits down next to you, on Veteran's Day, and you're both veterans, and the newness of the hat makes you skeptical of his USMCness, should you acknowledge him?

I didn't.

[DS1]

1. Ahh, I see at least one moderator has weighed in

:P

[southlandshari]

3. You think?

Post #2, SRMFA!

:hi:

(but I will say I consider that a term of endearment for you!)

[southlandshari]

2. ROFLMAO!

Hell yeah, I voted. And I hate it when people vote and don't post because they don't want anyone to guess which option they picked.

I don't have tell you where my vote went, do I?

:P

[DS1]

4. Your single hint of anominity was not replying to my reply

and instead, replying to the OP. Which was also mine.

You lose.

I win.

:D

[DS1]

5. Shit. I lose. You lose. No time

[graywarrior]

7. My FAVORITE fake stories are

fake stories about Korea. Next to fake stories about WMD's, of course.

[trof]

30. You WANT fake stories? I GOT fake stories.

And they all start out...

"There I was, on my back, out of airspeed and out of ideas, bandits coming in under me at 12 o'clock. I saw the tracers flying past, inches from my cockpit..."

Them were the days.
;-)

[graywarrior]

31. I love that they start out that way.

More, give us more.

[southlandshari]

8. Check the time stamps, MF...

We were writing at the same time.

And why does anyone have to lose?

Don't you fucking believe in win-win?

:P

[DS1]

9. Crunk off you crunking crunker!

That's college slang for "Word", which is slang for "Real" which is inevitably sland for "Fake".

[southlandshari]

18. Fuck off you fucking [------] fucker!

What? I'm too old to know the current lingo amongst the youth. Old standby works for me.

:shrug:

[DS1]

10. bzzzzt

:nuke:

[southlandshari]

14. Edited?

Hmmmmmmmmm......


























:rofl:

[LaurenG]

6. I would have just to see why his hat was so new

Maybe it belonged to a newer soldier he loved. :shrug:

[Midlodemocrat]

11. Dude, maybe the hat was new

and maybe HE wasn't new to the USMC.

You are such a meanypants.

How does matcom look in his chaps on his scooter?

[DS1]

12. No fucking way, he didn't have the thousand yard stare

And matcom looked fucking SEXY on his scooter, even when he pulled out in front of me. Good thing he knew it was me, cause I'd have ran a lesser man over.

And he looked cold.

[Midlodemocrat]

13. Maybe he just joined?

Can't imagine why at this point, but my nephew has a friend whose dad joined after 9/11. Bought the whole terra, terra, terra thing hook, line and sinker.

Leaving tomorrow for another tour in Afghanistan.

[DS1]

15. Oh well

My Bacon Cheeseburger was just as tasty with him sitting there as it was without him sitting there, matcom's new shed will be erected just as planned, life goes on.

[matcom]

16. he was a fucking wannabe

probably bought it at wal-mart :eyes:

[DS1]

17. EXACTLY! what I was thinking

fucking wanna be fuckhead, wearing that shit on Veteran's day, like some sort of Veteran! Who the hell does he think he is? Me? You? Fucking new-hat wearing fucker. Fuck fuck fuck going for world record fuck fuck fuck fuck fuck fuck fuck fuck fuck fuck fuck fuck fuck fuck fuck fuck fuck fuck fuck fuck fuck fuck fuck fuck fuck fuck fuck fuck fuck fuck fuck fuck fuck fuck fuck fuck fuck fuck fuck fuck

[Rabrrrrrr]

22. Maybe his son or daughter is in the Marines

Or maybe he's just a keyboard marine, like the freepers, who think they deserve all honor of the marines because they're fighting for America by having a fucking yellow ribbon on their Vega and they write hatefilled posts on FR with their cheeto-stained fingers all day.

[DS1]

23. mmmmmm

Cheetos

[LynneSin]

19. How Ironic - I had lunch yesterday with JimmyJazz

Some sort of Karmic Kismet going on in this world? In two different parts of the country 2 pairs of DUers got together and had lunch together. Although Ms JJ doesn't have a scooter - she has a Minivan

[SOteric]

20. What?!! Where's the option for "DS1 is an Assbucket?"

[XemaSab]

21. "There was this one guy in our unit...

I'll never forget him as long as I live... Name was Klinger, and he used to wear women's clothes..."

[Robb]

24. "Motherfucking asshole"

...the Dingbat of another generation. :P

[southlandshari]

25. Kick

What? I just like to see the votes for the last option here go up every time this thread is kicked.

:rofl:

[BikeWriter]

26. Doh, covers wear out and get replaced sometimes.

:shrug:

[DS1]

27. This was a baseball cap

Oh well, maybe next year :shrug:

[BikeWriter]

29. I accept a person's word about their service until...

they are proven wrong. Encouraging a discussion will usually clear it up one way or another. I carry a DD-214 and VietNam orders on me

[trof]

28. Unless he had the Marine insignia tattooed somewhere on his body

I don't think he had the bone-ah fee-days.
;-)
