I just couldn't stay away anymore....
mmmm....So a man walks into a bar with a newt, sets it on the stool next to him and orders a drink. The bar tender gives him his glass and says "Hey, that's a cute little lizard you got there. What's his name?" The man looks up at the bar keep and says "Him? I call him Tiny." "Why on earth do you call him that?" "BECAUSE....he's my newt........
Now that you're in the proper frame of mind, I couldn't stay away anymore (see subtitle). I am an absolute greywar junkie,( ummm...howdoIlink....crap..i forgot i'm a damn newb,) and have the great fortune not to be parodied by him...yet..i hope. From there I went on to psuedosoldier, talisein, littlewhip, et cetera ad nauseum, and most recently the Old Man himself, SSG Geezer aka Requires Pork. I'm terminally addicted and have decided not to fight it anymore.
I'm a part of the army your mother warned you about. I'm no gun totin' badass with twenty kills under my belt, and an Iraqi sunburn from hell. I've never been stationed anyplace more exotic than a miniscule camp in Korea, or faced deadlier force than a "Go home GI." (I'm trying baby, I'm trying.) Tough I know. I'm a button pushing, Korean speaking,(poorly) MI/SCIF monkey, and if I ever see sunlight or leave the air conditioning at work, it's probably an accident. I'm a little geeky, have cats, mostly for non gourmet purpousessesses,damn...and am fighting the good fight to stay off the weight control program...and losing...sigh.
I'm a Texan, semi-republican, a runner, drive a 73 Mustang, married 8 years, speak three languages badly, have a B.A. in music, (piano, bass, harmonica, and voice, I know you'd ask anyway,) and if you've read all this,
you've got more patience than me. Kudos to you, you just showed character. Me-fest finitum est.
P.S. I do make judgments based on race. Frankly, sprinters suck. Marathoners rule, and anyone who runs under 10k is just downright ridiculous."
