I didn't ignore this... just failed to respond. I know the pride you must feel. Every male in my family has served since at least the War of 1812. I salute both of you.

Rule number 1- NO pooftas! The only things that gets a ride on these knees are shapely young thangs with a predominance of estrogen and no dangly bits in the antarctic region!

Rule number 2- I don't want to see anyone not drinking

, especially when I buy a round to wet down crowns that are 18 months old!

Rule number 3- NO pooftas! Did I mention the male exclusion zone surrounding my knees? (Well, all right, Rob C's boy Jessie is allowed to climb on the crazy uncle and so is my nephew Jack but they are 3 and 2 respectively... they still think its just to pee with! :idea:

Rule number 4- I don't want to see anyone maltreating the abbos, so after leering at and chatting up Gracie's lovelies; tip BIG!

Rule number 5- NO pooftas! The air defence weapons control order for my knees is "weapons tight"- engage all targets not positively identified as female

Rule number 6- There is no rule number 6!

Rule number 7- NO pooftas- Alex, that shirt your wife convinced you was "salmon" is PINK, dammit, so stop wearing it. You're giving all ROTTERS a bad name

Rob: Try to get us a blank wall and I'll do the slide show. The polite one with no nekkid pictures!

Ken Scobie will join us too.

Cheers!

Mike (not Mad Mike... he was a pussy!)

Damn... I come all that way for "polite"? The world has changed, and not for the better...

BTW, Major Mike, you'll have to fight me for the long-haired blondes...

Geoff Winnington-Ball (RIP) · #64 19-01-07, 00:42

"Salmon" is something you eat, NOT wear. Let that be a lesson for you, Alex!

Maj Mike,

We may have a problem with the blank wall request - most are festooned with Guinness adverts (gad bless their lil hearts), or coats of arms (or maybe just leftover pizza...). If all else fails, we will huddle around the laptop...they were female baboons, right?

Glad to hear that Ken is joining us. I am trying to convince the project director for the new truck project to join us...a chance for our lads to look into the future instead of in the past. I have also convinced Roy, a Korean War veteran to join us - if his health permits.

May I suggest that when the wets happen, we share the occasion with a moment of silence to remember our dear departed George Blackburn?

Wow, this is sizing up into a fair bash!

We prefer to think of it as a "F*ck Winter" party....

You call this winter??? Luxury! Northern New Brunswick in the 60's - now that was winter.

Besides, that item is not on the agenda. However, we will entertain a motion to that effect (note: As per the Rotters Constitution, your seconder requires liquid encouragement prior to seconding a motion...).

I will be pleased to recite the Constitution to you in person.

Cheers,

Both Jason Ginn (15cwt and Cdn War Museum fame) and Roger Lucy have threatened to make an appearance.

It's also the other pink meat!

Consider me so-advised and I defer to you on that, but my motion is based upon the fact that if you can't walk around in shorts and a t-shirt, it's bloody well WINTER!

PS: Where's New Brunswick? It ain't on the map...

Bill Mulholland · #73 19-01-07, 16:58

At the moment slightly south of the Arctic Circle, and too bloody far north of any place warm!!
Cheers, Bill

Ditch the map of Toronto.
Get a map of Canada (you know, everthing else outside of Trana..).
Look towards the east (far right side of the map if you are holding it correctly).
You will find a piece of land that borders the water that looks like a Moosehead - that would be Nova Scotia.
Track west across the Bay of Fundy and the next piece of land (should) be New Brunswick:
- the home of the Bard,
- Canada's only officially bilingual province,
- the home of the best salmon fishing on the continent,
- the Picture Province,
- home of the world's longest covered bridge (Hartland - 390 metres ( 1,282 feet )),
- where ice cream cones were invented (Sussex),
- the home of the largest tidal whirlpool in the Western Hemisphere (off Deer Island -it's called the Old Sow),
- home of the best cymbals in the world (Meductic),
- home to tousans and tousans Acadians,
- some of the best sand beaches and warmest water in Canada,
- the home of CFB Gagetown and the Combat Training Centre,
- the home of the plaid shirt/track suit formal wear ensemble,
- the home of the world highest tides,
- the home of the Reversing Falls,
- the home of Ganongs Chocolates (St. Stephen),
- the home of the worlds biggest axe (Nackawic - 15 metres ( 50 feet ) high),
- the home of 26,000 Irving gas stations,
- the home of the world's largest lobster (Shediac),
- the home of millionaire crab fishermen who collect UIC,
- the home of mobile speed bumps (moose),
- the most heavily armed place on earth (during hunting season),
- home of Wild Bill and company,and
- lots and lots of friggin trees!

You would benefit from a visit to this wonderful province, or any other trip outa Hogtown...

Greg · #75 20-01-07, 14:27

Hi Rob,

I will try and be there, depending on how busy I am at work. Last week was quite busy as we were the first in pump at the house fire on Kilmory. I will bring your canvas parts back as well.

Cheers,

Greg

You blew it right there, chum, the armpit of the country!

But yeah, gotta git outta Hogtown more often. Gettin' teeth yanked in Uxbridge (as I did yesterday) doesn't count...

(

Postings at CTC - 5 years;
Courses and exercises at CTC - 4 years;
Sweating, freezing, digging, patrolling, shooting, bombing, and instructing - 9 years;

Working with some of the best people in the Army - Priceless!

Afraid I can't agree with your assessment of Gagetown, Geoff. Twas where I became a man (in many ways...), learned my craft and trade and spent some of the most memorable moments of a very diversified career.

Brings a tear to me eye...Now Ottawa, that is a different story...

Greg,

Do you only "try" if there is a fire?
Do you only "try" when your better half asks you do do something?

We are talking about what may be the all-time best attended Gracies session thus far. Here is a chance to make history!

No pressure. Hope you make it.

#80 21-01-07, 03:10

Will you guys be setting Master Sunray up with a date for Gracies or will he have to find his own to bring? Or ... are women, except for Gracies Girls, not allowed to attend this ... event ... ?

Hmmmmm ... if Master Sunray brings a date then he'll strike out with the Gracies Girls. Real tough choice for you there Sunray

The word "Rotter", knows no sex, age, colour, height, weight or weird habits, so all are welcome to attend. The only discriminations we make are:

You have to like trucks - old, new, even Fords,
You have to like having fun, and
You have to be able to BS.

As for GWB's date, right now she is just a tad deflated...

That's okay, he's informed me that he's ready for a REAL WOMAN now so leave your inflatables at home!
