Do you guys ever watch the show Mail Call on the History Channel? I'm trying to think of how the host, R. Lee Ermey, would respond to such a question... stopping well short of calling anyone a maggot, of course. [:D] Do you think the military would let a commander choose the colors of his/her stars? Sir, with all due respect, I'd prefer platnum stars.

OK, for those who haven't seen the show, R. Lee Ermey spent 11 years in the Marine Corps and has been in several war-related movies. On the show, he answers reader questions about the military. Go to the site below and click on "Target Recon" on the right side to read his bio. When you first click on it, he'll actually call you a maggot.

How was that for an official answer? [:)]

that stinks! I want to talk to the web master! Surely he could do 1 more green star with an itty bitty tiara! Since I don't look anything like Ed in real life, I should look a little different on here too! Don't you think ?

Now Mookie, do you want a timeout? You are different. Your username is Mookie, and Ed's is edblysard. [:)] Many people will have the same number of stars, but there will only be one Mookie. [:I]

Alright, back to the Mail Call bloopers...

I don't know...

In my line of work, once someone attains four stars they pretty much do what they want until Congress or 60 Minutes finds out.

Seriously we are talking about something here, started with a railfan about trains, and this mook stuff is not even in the least bit amusing, get on AOL and instant message if you are just gonna waste time between your little ring of people. I mean no offense but you might as well just forget about people trying to get serious on these forums with all this mookie B.S.

Old Sully would have been proud. He taught me to aggitate like that...quietly walk away grinning while the room is erupting behind you. [This post should be inserted ahead of Sil's rant above. Of course that's the risk of aggitating...the humorless grumps start yelping!]

Mr Silvio510,

I humbly apologize to you and all the members for my interjection of what I thought was a very small bit of humor. It was an inappropriate interjection and not in keeping with the serious nature of this forum. I will in the future, keep all my posts professional and try to seek my entertainment elsewhere.
My legal advisor has entered the admonishment into my service record and it shall be used against me in any further action.

Mr. Silvio:

If we can't have some clean fun with it, than why bother? Does that mean I have to take back my answer about NS branchlines back there in the PA molehills? Sheesh!

Sil, babe! Lighten up. If you want to start a serious thread, by all means do so. And if Mook & pals want to launch it into another direction, they will. If you will note, several of the Trains head hanchos were also a little less than serious here. There are some pretty serious threads going...check out the UTU topic. Not much foolin' going on there. It really isn't healthy to be cast-iron serious all the time. Try to find some humor where you can. Otherwise, you'll be pegged as an "angry young man", and nobody will like you. [or answer your NS branch questions!] BTW, if you start bad-mouthing Mook, you will be getting plenty of serious posts headed your way!
