Excuse me but I just had to laugh this morning.....or was it yesterday morning?
I was thinking about Viet Nam and dear old LZ Uplift, my alma mater and a sandbag and concertina architectural wonder that the Babylonians would have admired.
This is about the noms de plume or aka's that we take on when in strange situations, such as war or the internet, so naturally I'm off on a tangent from the start!!!
Evening at the LZ seemed boringly routine at the time in 1969, but now seems hilarious!!! At 5PM in monsoon season you could observe us buck naked with soap, toothpaste, shaving gear,etc at hand in perfectly clear sunshine outside our hootches.Then the sky behind the mountains immediately to our west would turn purple and then black. It was like a convertible's top.coming up, at almost the same speed!!! And then the aggressive rain would come down like nobody's business, but you had to hurry your lavations because it would end in about 12 minutes. Then the dust and grime would laugh and take hold again until the next evening's dousing. This nonsense would go on for several weeks.
Oh, when the temperature got into the seventies it was chilly; sweater and field jacket weather.
Then came dinner and whatever night duties you had to pull. It could be pulling on a can of Blue Ribbon, or a jay, or a guitar string, or someone dear's heartstrings by writing home. And then there was guard duty!!!
We had about twenty 1,2 or 3-story sandbag and psp bunkers on the the perimeter. After the barbed wire was dragged across Route 1 at the north and south gates (imagine I-95 being closed every night!!!0 we would prepare for the night. The John Wayne types would test the M-60's during redsplash while the rest us rigged the claymores. The more rabid of the Waynes even brought gloves and spare barrels so they could change out the overheated ones when their ballistic enthusiasm kicked in.
I guess the Machine Gun Murphy's got their spares through the armorer ("Supply, we need a few more PN........'s for my gunslingers up here; Yeah, that's the assembly"} who either was a Duke himself or was a little guy living vicariously by dispensing (homo-erotically?) them to eighteen-year olds every night out of his conex gunshop. The kids all had to squirrel barrels, cleaning kits. private ammo belts, etc.away, just like the Hippies had to hide their NFL (larger but airier) or nerf (more compact but the same $5.00 price) size bags and papers.
A lot of us carried our M-16's around like Bad Seed cousins on a family picnic. They were way too loud and smelled (was it the cordite?) funny and were always in the way when you had to do something. Steel pots and flak jackets were some other pests!!! When I deros'd to the World and turned in my M-16, the same ( or his clone) guy asks me "When's the last time you you cleaned this weapon?" I replied that whenever I got into an FTA mood I liked to run those little oil swabs way up through the works. "I guess you could've fired a round around a corner with this tube but it's been bent a while, want to look?' . he reposted. And in a milli-second I knew where that accident had happenedIII We were coming back on Rte.1 from LZ English with our ration of water in two huge steel tanks strapped and sandbagged on our 5-ton. I had tossed my Colt thing in between the tanks to admire the warren truss we were rolling through. It was French-built, in the spirit of Eifel (railroad engineering genius extraordinaire, Paris tower builder, etc.and if you don't believe me knock MARSEILLES TRANSPORTER into google). Sorry I'm off to Eifel and Stephenson and Roebling and Brunel et al, but those guys could squint into a chasm or estuary or a sheer wall and engineer their asses of!!! Our very own Army Engineers should be in that Pantheon too!!! Here me ASCE? We are a pioneer, tactical outfit of a country. Shift that French reliic of a fractured empire around a bit, send in rome plows, tanks, 175's, troops,....STOP.....we did that in Normandy too, as is well recorded. The cause was different ( and muddled) when I served, A lot of us could see the war's folly, that the enemy was us, and could still fix problems. The Greatest Generation? I dunno, brothers. Let' s Share, Brothers!!!
Anyway, my barrel got bent on that bridge when the driver had to hit the brakes and his load shifted a bit. The two tanks, chains, sandbag floor, and my sorry underminer *** got bounced forward a few inches. Picked up my trusty Red Ryder range rifle and it looked the same. Four months later it's bent. I couldn't have shot a soul if I'd wanted to.
Good thing.
Please stick with me a bit here, but picture future archaeologists puzzling over these objects:::"Here's another Sanyo case...green peanut brittle stuff inside, more evidence that the Sanyo Dynasty was once here?"
Then we would play with our lizard and scorpion bunkermates until dark.
It was a twelve hour deal and the three man bunker crew would usually divide it into 4 hours of watchfulness for each man. However, once the marijuana took hold there were diversions that could keep all of us awake all night. Making clouds into faces and objects was mild fun but hell, civilians did that. Then you could throw out a hypothetical situation and your buddies would ask questions that got yes or no answers until someone solved the mystery. A guy once paraphrased the beginning of "The War of the Worlds". Around 4Am, someone said from nowhere::: H.G.Wells. Then it was "yes-yes-no-yes-yes", and the problem was solved. After the sergeant of the guard holed up with the CQ you could send flares horizontally over to an adjacent bunker.The sight of silhouettes jumping off the top of a bunker was a blast!!! The radio talk after such an event was fierce.
Uh-Oh, I am back to the curve. While most bunkers' radio identity would be a plain old number 6 or a number 15, there were those who called themselves "Stick Buddy", "Stump Jumper", "Afro Blue", "White Rabbit",etc. The king of the heap was "The Dome", With haughty and enigmatic intonations he was an Omniscient Presence in that crackling radio world. After a few months he was finally outed by collective detective work.. When it happened there was laughter all around and breakfast talk for a while was about how "The Dome" had cracked. Anyway he was never heard from again and may have just rotated back to the World.
What AM I talking about???
When I use my keypad like a Kansas City whore uses her tongue, I get carried away.
Good Sunday Morning Railroad Nam!!!

Yeah Dan, The Doors!!! Roaring into the hot Vietnam night.The commo guys had wired a couple of big Pioneer speakers into a pair of mangled and doorless (hah) conexes and run wires up to our hootch, where we used one guy's big output Kenwood pre-amp, another guy's Akai tape recorder (let's see M-1 was the tube version, and I think M-2 was the solid state, but his was the solid state}, and my widely admired Dual 1019 turntable ( bought at the Vielflecken PX). I would play Jimi's "Red House" or anything from Miles and Coltrane and the Stick Buddies would run for cover. If they were feeling polite they would say, "That ain't music that's, sh......not good music". I had a stick buddy friend though with a lot of Hank Williams stuff and he was always welcome to come over with "Steel Rail Blues". Even us bead wearing Hippies could get into that keening paean to lost love, and we must have worn that track right out of the LP. Hank was the only country artist I could stand until much later in life. Excluding of course Johnny Cash, who I considered to be not a country guy but A Law Unto Himself.
As artillery surveyors, we used to be assigned to artillery units of the ROK's Capitol Division from time to time, triangulating reference points mostly. I don't think Capitol collected enemy ears the way Tiger Division did but these guy's were fun to be around. In the middle of the night you'd zip down at the ****-tube ( if you didn't trip over the dang thing getting there) and watch them practicing martial arts in the moonlight.
All you had to do was mention Hank Williams and you would be surrounded by new friends proffering kemchi and (was it OG?) Korean beer. I tnink it was OG because the guys I knew from Cumberland and Lonacoming Maryland always used to say "Hey, this isn't Old German!!!'. And man did they ever know their Hank. They'd trot out and play his albums, show you their discographies, biographies, pictures and notebooks. When my buddy McGuire from Boston was sent to finish out his tour with the ROK's. we loaded him up with Hank Williams records and wished him well. A couple of months later Bill Hanley (a Pharaoh Sanders fan and my best friend in Nam) and I skated out of some dumb mission or another and visited McGuire for an over-nighter. Well he had the best psychedelic decor I'd ever seen, gigantic Pioneer speakers with The Doors' "The End" pouring out like a big snake and One Major Complaint. The Koreans had him figured as Hank Williams' special messenger and he absolutely hated country music!!! Can't blame him, because New England's industrial base had gone south and in return they got these retro white guys "jest caterwauling". He was probably Southie Irish stock, but despaired with the Brahmins!!! He did respect Korean martial arts, I'd already noticed, so I guess it wasn't just solidarity between Allies that compelled him to play their requests. A special Purgatory, friends.

Shadowy Dan, is there a way to move these e-scribblings over to my War Stories thread and out of the inane Rule G topic? Saving of course all the recent identity reconfigurations. Glad you like Shadowy and Kevin likes Fade..

I guess I'm missing something. Rule G is the LAW, a Federal Regulation (actually several) and the Rule at every railroad. What possible difference is there whether someone supports it or not. Truly a silly question at best. And no, I don't have a beef with Doggy, but perhaps placing brain in gear before depressing keys would be a good idea...

It may seem a "silly" topic to discuss as it is mandated by law and regulation however; the "Tax Stamp Act" was also. Currently, the Supreme Court is hearing argument about removing the words "under God" from the U.S. pledge of allegiance. Discussion of these topics started in smaller forums before reaching the proportions they did. In law school "moot court" is held to hone the skills of would-be lawyers and, to kindle ideas about existing topics. Many, if not most, do not even give a thought one way or the other about trains or any of the particulars of railroading. The discussion of a shared interest, no matter how silly or moot it may seem, is never a waste. It is informative to some, and just plain fun to others. LC, you choose your screen name, and you depressed your keys. I hope you continue to do so. I enjoy your contributions.

I can vouch for Dan and Kevin, I mean THE SHADOW and his trusty side kick, FADE.

They both sat on the couch, right next to the bar, talking to that nice looking young lady who, ummmm, sells Avon, yeah, thats it, sells Avon...all night long.

Vic made them do the shooters....

By the way, has the zoo called looking for their emu?
I think jim and a bunch of munchkins took off with it on a school bus...

Oh, and the band wants to know if we ever found their drummer....

Last time I saw him, he and that stupid .com dog muppet were chasing the school bus.

And Peter Ustinov visiting our poolside bacchanal was cool, but after he identified the stuff in the water and the half-buried red white and blue painted tires surrounding it he left in a huff!!! Toga flowing, and that funny little horseshoe of dead plants perched, rather jauntily I thought, sideways on his head.
We heard he later died. Too bad..... a regula G guy.
Ahhhhh, The Rule G Cabana and Plunge Surfing Club, where the lawn ornaments will be OK when they finish sleeping it oft and figure out the dew thing.
That "Yellow Snow" Pernod slushball thingy finished my weekend and perhaps all my appointments until Wednesday. I usually prefer Pernod neat or in the wind. Fade, did you slip me a micky???
At least one of my organs can still get hod. When my liver feels like a brick it whistles and my Ist and 2nd legs come around with a half-box on a stick thing to tote him around a bit.

Well,

My cut would be that Doggy and CSX got bad blood from thier little tantrums on the Rick gates thread.....Rix, I'm fairly sure doens't care one way or anyother.....he's making an observation based on Doggy's writing style and choice of topics.....

Hey TROLL boy..BaltACD...chill hoss ...big difference between a troll and tossing some sarcasm/satire out there.......

The nice and bad thing about the internet is that you are just screen names and that's it...CSX could be a CSX engineer, he could be a 12 year old kid with a big mouth, heck he could be Doggy's beloved Davison of UP, just screwing with him.....Doggy might be a kid, a drunk an astronaut......who the *&^% knows.....

The only thing that's certain is that y'all are acting like a bunch of kids here..name calling, making accusations with out backing it up, blah, blah blah........

Go ahead flame me.....If you are offended by this then it was directed at you...if you weren't or there's a question in your mind as whether to be offended then it wasn't. I'm done...continue with your games....

dharmon,
I will say I'm a UP fan but I DON'T LIKE DAVISON BUT I DO SUPPORT AMTRAK MORE THAN I DO UP and it was funny. Also I will admitt me and CSX did had tmeper tantrums on the Rick Gates Fiascol but he was pracitly dissing the guy and I thought this forum needed a good debate not complaning about stars

Hello Doggy, it's me Rixflix, the evil McCarthy communist. Stalin was an intrinsically bad person, Lenin I could probably have had a nice chat with, but friends think I'm a Trotsky-ite.That McCarthy though, he was the worst of them all. .
Seriously, when you put up the "Do You Support Rule G" topic, I burst out laughing before even opening it. Kinda like asking a suffocating person, "Could I capture your interest by offering you a little air?'
So, after 10 or 15 people sincerely replied to your fatuous question, i couldn't stand it anymore and the devil made me knock in "No No No". I'm rather happy with that effort. Somebody here nailed it when they coined "sarcasm/satire" because it was intended as both. I can' t give everything away, so look 'em up!!! They sort of overlap but mean different things I see some of you grasped the point I was making in "No". People don't think that way but they do act that way, with consequences for us all.
Oh yeah, speaking of sincere, criss-cross my heart. I don't hate or dislike anyone here.
I just like to tweak someone'.s sensibility now and again and toss incendiaries when a situation requires. Doggy, I'm just trying to blow-dry the wet behind your ears, like a caring mare .
Uh-Oh, here it comes again!!!
Dogs, ask your teachers about remedial english or english as a second language. It would be a good summer project. I hope it isn't too late because you have expressed some good stuff in the forums. It would be a shame if you wound up like too many people these days, hard wired into the internet but going too fast to communicate any kind of subtleties of thought or emotion because they were never taught poor, simple, pen and paper, i.e. reflective, language. I could go into speaking clearly here, but I won't. for now. Before you hit the Submit button, review your post, see if that's the way you want to present yourself and edit!!!
Would you go to meet your girlfriend' s parents with your fly down?
Here's a quick poke: if you are not 12 years old (my favorite age if I had to be there forever) and are 22, 38, 57 (mine), or 88 (my dad's) you may be in trouble. My own 27-year old son is a piece of work right now and I guess I'm feeling particularly fatherly this afternoon. Love, Peace, Serenity from Rick
My first paragraph up there was Sarcasm and so was the second language thing!!!!
Let's see now.....Kevin, your tag team tactics never fail to amuse. Don't you know that McMahon and his stable all live convivially in El Rancho Muula-Muula? I hear it looks like like a trailer park from the air.
Hawaii, Florida, California, just outside of Queens? It's hard to tell, but it might be Quebec. Ask your doctor about Viag... oops, I meant Paranoia. In it's early stages it can be cured. In later stages you're most likely a nut case. Congratulations from a member of the Nut Club. Here's a hug!!!
CSX, did you know we were briefly (I hope) on a tag team together with the shadowy dharmon vs. Doggy and Kevin? I felt sorry when you replied to my criticism of your spelling and am sorry now. I do love you as you are. OK? Still, I think your thinking on the Ricky Gates thing is from outer space unless you grew up as a radical Union man. I don't know, but I'm sure we'll talk.
Back to railroading. There's about to be a big rack attack over on the CSX in Ivy City!!!
I am really sore from riding a high horse
which is actually a camel
forever yours

Whoops, almost forgot the Dawg. He was over in the hedges during most of the proceedings, muzzle to the ground, sighing dog sighs ( you know, through the nostrils, stirring up tiny clouds of dust) and looking sad. I couldn't see his usually excitable tail because it must have been hidden from the sunlight. When I would go over to pat his head he would be suddenly preoccupied, looking over my shoulder at the adults he had long thought predictable now acting so crazily!!! Kept cocking his raised head to the left and then lowering it to the astroturf, inconsolable. I hope we hear his frivolous yelps again soon. Get well and literate Doggy!!!

Oh my!!! I figured this post was going to be a refigured continuation of a previous one so I entered. Two pages in... assumption correct- but ok so far. By the third page I'm thinking we should rename this post "Internet forum responders that state their opinions and then want to apologise to each other for them". By page four I realised there was a HUGE party- and I missed it! (I DID see a shaved camel, or was it an emu, wandering aimless down interstate with a tatoo... couldn't really make it out- said 101st or 82nd kicks a#$ (don't know). But by the ending of responses I was brought right back where it began. Next time you guys throw a wild one let me know!!!

Doggy- Here are your instructions,
1. E-mail me, Press that E-mail button, so we can talk.

2. Doggy, i'll explain it to you, Control has been lost in this thread, and it's in an anarchy state right now, So just flow with the Joke.

3. Railfix, is Well Railfix, he babbles incoherently all the time, so don't mind him, and also evedently poses a backgorund which include BA's and PHD, one we know for sure that is in the area of Enlgish, right sir? thats why your grammer sucks then.

I for one don't know English at all, heck, it's not even my First language, and it's either a close Second or a close theird when it comes to italian.. So which one I learned After French- English first or Italian first, we could debate all night over, althoug at a college level Engli***hey do tell you basic sentance structure, and Railfix you take great pride in smashing othger people's sentances down, but i have a look at your posts, and it's like a jumbled up mess, that is very incoherent.

But you see, My English sucks, and i'll admit it, So You see, Once your Slate is clean ma man, Then maybe you ought to post about how bad DG's English is.

Capische? Show me the PHd, and i'll shut up.

Oh and Doggy, number 4.

4. forget all rules you know.

Oh my!!! I figured this post was going to be a refigured continuation of a previous one so I entered. Two pages in... assumption correct- but ok so far. By the third page I'm thinking we should rename this post "Internet forum responders that state their opinions and then want to apologise to each other for them". By page four I realised there was a HUGE party- and I missed it! (I DID see a shaved camel, or was it an emu, wandering aimless down interstate with a tatoo... couldn't really make it out- said 101st or 82nd kicks a#$ (don't know). But by the ending of responses I was brought right back where it began. Next time you guys throw a wild one let me know!!!
