1. Are you a vet?

[texas1928]

2. No

You know what I am doing, don't you.

[JimmyJazz]

4. Yes - I know its a copycat, but referring to clicks in terms of distance

is a military reference.

6. I got hurt to early in life to join the military

But I would have gone if, I had not been hurt. Was not smart like my sister so could not get a scholarship. So that was one way to pay for college.

3. There are a LOT of clicks here.

I mean, I *assume* most people are using a mouse, right?

[texas1928]

7. Yeah and if you have a noisy keyboard.

then there is really a lot of clicks.

5. three

but it's late so we'll never make it, let's camp here for the night. I'll send out patrols hourly and set up outposts in strategic areas around camp. Make sure to set up a flanking position.

8. I will take the first watch

MMmKay.

[pres2032]

12. yes, sir

you better watch the east flank, there are reports of enemy divisions out there and they may probe our lines. Make sure F company hasn't formed a damned salient again, we can't afford another bloody attack from three sides.

[texas1928]

13. And I will keep a close eye out for

FREEPERS, they are sneaky devils.

9. I always thought it was "klicks"

short for kilometers.... :shrug:

[arwalden]

10. (Flash!)

[pres2032]

14. (thunder!)

though you said it out of order, so i would be justified in firing on you.

[texas1928]

16. (Welcome)

No that is right.

One of the best stories is, a paratrooper was watching the gliders come into Normandy and one just missed hitting him. He heard someone in the hedge row next to him and he said "FLASH", and the person on the other side said "Flash your ass, I am getting out of here. They are killing us out here" He let him go cause only an American could have given that answer.

17. ah ok

apologies to arwalden for the friendly fire incident.


that's a funny story and i could so see that.

[texas1928]

18. You got him in the butt.

man is he sore.

[pres2032]

19. damn, that sucks

heh, i thought it funny that so many Easy company men in Band of Brothers got shot in the butt despite retreating only once. Those jerrys are sneaky bastards

[texas1928]

20. Have you read the book.

Has some great stories on top of what is on the film. and it was an Easy company tradition, getting shot in the ass.

[pres2032]

21. i have, multiple times

i love it. the stories of their encounters and miscommunication the night of June 5th is pretty funny and its a suprise they didn't kill eachother because of getting their signals mixed up.

[sparky_in_ma]

11. It's one click if by land

two if by sea.

[Hatalles]

15. Are you a double-clicker or a single-middle-button clicker?

I feel sorry for you Apple folks... you and your one little button.

[texas1928]

22. I dont click and tell.

Gentleman never do.

[datasuspect]
