The 213 things Skippy is no longer allowed to do in the U.S. Army A quick note: I don’t mind if you want to quote a few items from my list of your site. But please do not copy the list in it’s entirety. Explanations of these events: a) I did myself, and either got in trouble or commended. (I had a Major shake my hand for the piss bottle thing, for instance.) b) I witnessed another soldier do it. (Like the Sergeant we had, that basically went insane, and crucified some dead mice.) c) Was spontaneously informed I was not allowed to do. (Like start a porn studio.) d) Was the result of a clarification of the above. (“What about especially patriotic porn?”) e) I was just minding my own business, when something happened. (“Schwarz…what is *that*?” said the Sgt, as he pointed to the back of my car? “Um….a rubber sheep…I can explain why that’s there….”) To explain how I’ve stayed out of jail/alive/not beaten up too badly….. I’m funny, so they let me live. The 213 Things…. 1. Not allowed to watch Southpark when I’m supposed to be working. 2. My proper military title is “Specialist Schwarz” not “Princess Anastasia”. 3. Not allowed to threaten anyone with black magic. 4. Not allowed to challenge anyone’s disbelief of black magic by asking for hair. 5. Not allowed to get silicone breast implants. 6. Not allowed to play “Pulp Fiction” with a suction-cup dart pistol and any officer. 7. Not allowed to add “In accordance with the prophesy” to the end of answers I give to a question an officer asks me. 8. Not allowed to add pictures of officers I don’t like to War Criminal posters. 9. Not allowed to title any product “Get Over it”. 10. Not allowed to purchase anyone’s soul on government time. 11. Not allowed to join the Communist Party. 12. Not allowed to join any militia. 13. Not allowed to form any militia. 14. Not allowed out of my office when the president visited Sarajevo. 15. Not allowed to train adopted stray dogs to “Sic Brass!” 16. Must get a haircut even if it tampers with my “Samson like powers”. 17. God may not contradict any of my orders. 18. May no longer perform my now (in)famous “Barbie Girl Dance” while on duty. 19. May not call any officers immoral, untrustworthy, lying, slime, even if I’m right. 20. Must not taunt the French any more.

Very funny stuff. It is definitely worth the time to go to his site and read all 213 things. I'd post them all here if it were not for his request not to do so.

You've done enough. Sgt. Skippy is my new hero this week.

I tried to use M212 countermeasures as an excuse when I blew the turbo on the Volvo wagon.

Revisionist history, eh?

The company was previously named "Bayerische Flugzeuge Werke"...

Givin' it up for racerfink! That's the first color shot of that lineup I've ever seen.

Here's the history:

supercars.net said: Porsche first revealed the 917 to the press at the 1969 Geneva Motorshow. This was followed by an intense CSI homologation inspection, demanding that all the cars needed to be complete before the car could race. Remarkably, Porsche produced eight more cars in three weeks to complete the necessary 25 cars. On April 1st, 1969 the 917 was homologated just in time for Le Mans.

The FIA was so reluctant to homologate the thing that the individual inspector demanded to see all 25 of them in the same place. So, Porsche lined them up.

917 drivers at the Amelia Island 2010 concourse:

L to R, Vic Elford, Derek Bell, Brian Redman, Hurley Heywood, Charlie Kemp, John Horseman. Horseman was an engineer for John Wyer, and was responsible for the "short deck" rear bodywork that finally tamed the car.

I don't know. It seems like they (BMW) are correcting a mistake that they themselves made/perpetuated to me. I like the idea of the propeller story, but if it's not true it's not true.

Can you tell the differance?

Son, you're going to be all right. ...

I'm entitled to believe the bavarian flag version myself even though I really like the propeller story. You can't go anywhere in bavaria without seeing the colors somewhere. BTW, can someone briefly explain the roots of E36=poop?

the M3 version of the E36 3 series is the sh_t...hence the E36 M3 autofilter replacement when someone types $#!+

How about now?

I just realized that when you type "cat" it goes to Bob Costas like ---- goes to Berkeley.

I should use bad words more often.
