Yes, I _do_ know that this has been around for a long time. It doesn't make it any less funny (and, I have a button on my backpack which is a slightly modified version of #87). 213 things Skippy isn’t allowed to do in the United States Army.

The Silmarillion in 1000 Words, by camwyn - I haven't read it, and I was _still_ amused. Probably not as much if I had read it, though! (will probably read it eventually)


And... happy birthday to dancingwolfgrrl, who does _not_ show up on my birthday list. (I cheated - catya wished a happy birthday, and _then_ I knew)

Doesn't that constrain your actions rather drastically? :-}

That's why it's slightly modified. ;)

Doesn't mean I _won't_, of course. ;)

OMG

I knew Skippy in real life... HE was a student at UNT (like me) and he joined the Army for Psych-ops, then while in training had a financial windfall occur and the Army wouldn't let him buy his way out of the army either... so he did allot of this list and more... the stunts I've seen him accomplish and that's just out on "Fry street" next to campus...... the stunt with a kodak instant camera in the restroom of a bar on Fry street is just funny too.

Of course his religious prespective is one of wellll..... Discordianism(sp) too... but, Skippy is just that warped and then some.

BTW I quote that page:
>"(Note. Yes, all this *really* happened! No, SKIPPY didn't do all of this, but it was all stuff he's been cautioned against doing at one point or another, even if someone else did it and command turned around and told him not to, just in case. Except for the personal lubricant bit...that was totally unrelated to him, but still funny.)"

True but the sock puppet stuff was infact used alot more and for highly indepth normal life actions. what a nut he still is.... even as a pseudo-civilian LOL

Thank you again for the button. It still gives me great delight!

Do you mind if I point people to your commentor who knew/knows Skippy?

Excellent. :)

Not at all! Enjoy. Pretty much always, linking to my public posts is fine.

The Silmarillion in 1000 Words, by camwyn - I haven't read it, and I was _still_ amused.

I was surprised that in the whole four pages (so far) of comments squeeing about that masterpiece that no one had mentioned the Book-A-Minute (http://rinkworks.com/bookaminute/) page, which has a whole series of similar condensations.


As I feel that Robert Jordan's whole "Wheel of Time" tome-fest is vastly over-rated, I was particularly fond of their version of The Eye of Time:

Rand al'Thor: Tam is my father.

(Nothing happens. Then, nothing happens. Then, unexpectedly, nothing happens. Everything is FRAUGHT with PORTENT.)

Moiraine: Everybody come with me.
Everybody: No. Well, ok.

(They travel a LOT. Something happens that isn't explained. Something happens that doesn't make sense. Something happens.)

Rand al'Thor: Tam is my father.




THE (predictable, cliched, dumb) END




Fans: Yah! Wah hah! This is the greatest book ever! Whoo hoo! This is the greatest series ever! Whoopie! Yee haw!
