Caption Contest Winner and Other Announcements
Posted by Frank J. at 01:51 PM | View blog reactions | Comments (28)

I thought the entries for the caption contest were a little weak this go around. I guess cats at gunpoint or holding guns bring out the creative juices better. I liked my own entry pretty well; I can't believe no one else thought of the South Park episode where Cartman introduced the concept of "RoShamBo". Still, simplicity won the day, the one that produced the biggest chuckle being an old one from the schoolyard:

Welcome to Bangkok

Congratulation to Neo. I don't have any prize idea for him, but everyone congratulate him the comments section.

NOW!

I've gotten a lot of e-mails about the military, and they’re mainly jokes bashing different branches. That's cool, though, and I think I might want to do a regular feature of it as I love learning more about military culture and I’m sure a lot of others do. I'll put up more tomorrow, and keep e-mailing me more jokes or your descriptions of a military branch (and make the subject "Military" to help me organize). And, I haven’t gotten to many jokes at the expense of the Marines so far (and I know there is a ton). Remember, even though a military joke may have been old back when George Washington said it, it's probably new to us civilians.

Finally, I'll have an update over the weekend on the IMAO T-Shirt Babe Contest. I'm leaning back towards not needing an IMAO t-shirt to qualify (but wear something; this is a family site).

Frank,
can you declare me the retroactive winner? because my caption would have been,
"death by electric scrotum while common in, but it's the foot..."

ah forget it.

"HEY, are ya ready for some FOOT BALL?"

Yeah yeah,I know contest is over.

Go Neo you are the One.

#2 - Posted by: spacemonkey on March 31, 2004 02:10 PM

Ah, welcome to bang-cock. Now I get it. Nice.

#3 - Posted by: Bill on March 31, 2004 02:48 PM

Oh...BANG-cock...now I understand. I was low on my caffine fix and the synapsis just weren't firing. I was going to post Groin-cock. No wait, how about Ran-groin..or wait...arrrrgh...dang.
Go Neo..the jokemister. Good job.

#4 - Posted by: Yankee Imperialist Running Dog on March 31, 2004 02:57 PM

I though the contest was about to dress up the Canadian girl with a T-shirt designed by BerkeleyGirl that would made her win the T-shirt and the trip to Florida. You are trying to trick, because first you talk about the new design of your new T-shirt, and then you say it's only about babes, which ever the T-shirt is, IMAO or not.

Are you trying to escape from your promise to pay her trip to BerkeleyGirl in case she wins, because she already won to be your babe. You said it, and I am the witness. You even said that you would send her a T-shirt for free.

#5 - Posted by: Amphitryon on March 31, 2004 03:08 PM

And the T-shirt for free was the gage to get her picture with your own T-shirt on.

#6 - Posted by: Amphitryon on March 31, 2004 03:10 PM

Does this mean I can't kill Yoda? hubba hubba, screw that, I'm a gonna kill'em.

Oh, right, congratulations and all that nonsense to Neo. But, I liked Morpheus better, he had the neat-o sunglasses.

Hi - I work at a naval air station where I get to stress out Marines (yes, that's my job). I have some great sources of jokes, but all I can get you now are two about fighter pilots:

What's the difference between God and a fighter pilot?

God doesn't think he's a fighter pilot.

and...

What's the difference between a jet engine and a fighter pilot?

The engine stops whining when you shut it down.

I'll talk to the Navy corpsmen and get ya some good Marine jokes soon.

Maura

#8 - Posted by: Maura on March 31, 2004 03:39 PM

Frank, google "98militaryjokes" - there are a buttload of jokes on there, a lot of them Marine jokes. The enlistment parodies alone are worth going to see.

Civvies, Nuke the Moon and Peace Gallery

FJ: Civilians are civilians. Civvies are civilian clothes (aka "civilian trash"). And skivvies, FWIW, are underwear.

Wore my NtM shirt to the gym this morning. Got lots of looks. Certainly a far cry from the usual gym wear (others', not mine). I really like wearing my shirt that says, across a silhouette target, "You are the weapon. Your shotgun is just a tool."

Finally, how about putting up those pictures I sent!? You know, Peace Gallery and a new Chomps. C'mon, everyone, help me put the pressure on Frank to do a measly little update and get my smiling mug up in the gallery. (Sorry, Frank, but you're dawdling and it has come to this.)

#10 - Posted by: Curtis the Former Marine on March 31, 2004 04:13 PM

Curtis the Former Marine, if you write 100 things about you, you can get your pictures with Chomps in the Blue Smarties galerie, which is a lot more fashionable than Frank's IMAO's galery.

... I want to demonstrate that (former) marines can be smarter than Frank !
Well, at least troops are smarter than Frank.

#11 - Posted by: Amphitryon on March 31, 2004 04:41 PM

BTW, "military jokes" work on Yahoo too. This one is funny.

#12 - Posted by: Amphitryon on March 31, 2004 05:01 PM

Curtis,
I'll do an update soon. I'm trying to get my damn brother to finally e-mail me his so I can do everything in one fell swoop.

#13 - Posted by: Frank J. on March 31, 2004 05:03 PM

How can you tell a fighter pilot is in the bar?

Don't worry, he'll let you know.

#14 - Posted by: Rich on March 31, 2004 05:21 PM

With all due respect to Curtis, the phrase "former Marine" has rightfully fallen out of favor. A Marine is a Marine is a Marine, etc.
We are just strange that way... it is very much like a virus that gets in one's blood and refuses to leave (not that we'd want it to).
A very nice quote that I saw once sums it up (I know not to whom it should be attributed, but I'm pretty sure he was a Marine).
"WE BELIEVE WE ARE MARINES UP UNTIL THE
TIME WE DIE, AT WHICH TIME WE BECOME DEAD MARINES."

#15 - Posted by: Devil Dog on March 31, 2004 05:30 PM

I always thought the phrase was: Once a Marine, always a Marine.

I believe it first came out in a bar where two soldiers were arguing.

Googling your comment, I found: http://lonestar.texas.net/~mikerod/Mindfield/extreme.html

looks like some random dude in Texas.

I like the kitten photos, didn't realize they were up there, I'll send the kitten at gunpoint one to a cat lover (she'll freak, hehehe).

You can always go to military.com for information on the military. Search the forums for jokes, but there news articles are really good (as in, much more accurate than Communist News Network).

#16 - Posted by: Haagus on March 31, 2004 06:02 PM

I believe the term is spelled "Rochambeau" rather than "RoShamBo." Yeah, it's French, but at least it's a worthy edition to Western Culture.

#17 - Posted by: Rob on March 31, 2004 06:11 PM

On the Pro-American site, you can find also training songs from the army:
SEMPER FI -Military - Marines Running

#18 - Posted by: Amphitryon on March 31, 2004 06:17 PM

Thanks, Devil Dog. Perhaps a change of nomenclature is in order. I only use "former" because "There's no such thing as an 'ex' Marine."

Oh, and "TOW, by God!"

Changing Underwear
The men of Charlie Company had been in the field for two weeks when the Sarge announces, I've got good news and bad news. First the good news. Today we're going to change our underwear. The troops start cheering wildly. Now the bad news, continues the Sarge. Smith, you change with Jones. Andrews, you change with Murphy . . .

#21 - Posted by: Amphitryon on March 31, 2004 08:22 PM

I am sorry to announce... The coop has sold out...

#22 - Posted by: scott on March 31, 2004 08:36 PM

I am sorry to announce... The coop has sold out...

I don't believe it. It must be an elaborate hoax. Why would Progressive Socialists and WeCan'tMoveOn want a site called www.cooperforpresident.com unless they plan to support someone whose name is Cooper? Maybe I should go buy up all the [name]forpresident.com sites I can. Hmm.

#23 - Posted by: Curtis the Former Marine on March 31, 2004 09:35 PM

No Phil, Morpheus has the kick ass sunglasses, screw Neo and his pansy sunglasses. With out Morpheus, Neo would be nothing.

Oh and death to Yoda.

#24 - Posted by: 655321 on April 1, 2004 12:09 AM

I always thought Army stood for

As everyone knows, Navy is a Marine code word for 'ride'

#25 - Posted by: Morphius Kane on April 1, 2004 12:53 AM

Speaking of the Navy, here is a funny dictionary. See Figurehead: Decorative dummy found on sailboats. See CAPTAIN.

#26 - Posted by: Amphitryon on April 1, 2004 06:52 AM

Curtis,

I've also heard "formerly active Marine" but referring to active duty status, but I didn't like it cause I'm still pretty active even if I don't wear the uniform anymore.

Semper Fi!
