I bet he didn't beat Dance Dance Revolution.;)

I know I sure as hell won't.
It's pretty straightforward BrianR. I was acting the goat with some mates in my own backyard (drinking) and tried to sidestep a tackle. Nah.
Because it happenned at home the Navy is no longer obliged to keep me on the ship as an active crew member. There's a considerable decrease in salary for a shore position, hence my grief causing through gritted teeth staccatto typing. Oh, and the pain.
I can't drive ( right ankle ) so no video shop access leaves me enduring a myriad of talk/freak shows and general blather.
I'm bored, sore and miserable so anything to relieve the monogamy will be truly welcome, with LJ's efforts as a case in point. Cheers for all the hard work.

my pleasure. I'll be sending the international ones tomorrow or thursday, i hope. and i think the word you want is monotony......unless, you are pining for two or three sheilas to help you pass the time.......

you are welcome

They didn't take you to Captain's Mast?

Edit: Oops, wrong navy, but do you guys have something similiar?

Sorry to hear that Novice.

But this is only temporary, right? Your ankle will heal in a few weks and as soon as the docs clear you for sea duty, you're back on a ship again. Perhaps not the same one, but sea duty is sea duty, right? Hang in there!

Troubleshooter: The US Navy won't send you to Captains Mast for an accident as long as you were not violating regulations at the time (ie DUI). Accidents happen. I know of a man who broke his leg (coincidentally) the day before a deployment. He was sent to shore duty with no punishment, although it was (common) knowledge that he did it on purpose to get out of going.

Tell that to the guys I watched get masted for sunburns that wouldn't let them stand watch.

That was back in '89, '90 though.

Thanks UT but I can't find a similar critter here in Oz. As for a Captains Mast, we are sent to the Captains Table for re-indoctrination. Yours sounds like some kind of ordeal. " Climb up here boy and meet your fate"
We too would be punished for sunburn. We're provided with hats ans 30+ gratis so there is no excuse. They are not so Draconian as to refuse belief in accidents. Generally it comes down to the past record and temperament of the victim.
Being older and having never been caught at nefarious practises I am accorded a measure of respect from the heirachy.

So when are we supposed to get our t-shirts?

shipping friday priority mail ;)

i'm hoping that the make up shirts are done by tomorrow so we can get them all out. i was hoping to send the intl's tomorrow ( today) but here it is 3 am, and i just spent 3 1/2 hours assembling my daughters birthday present. goddamn springy horse is a mutherfucker. i used to love mine. i had no idea they were this evil. gotta be awake in 4 hours. guh. only a 12 hour shift tomorrow. just half a day, right?
bleh.

It's called Captain's Mast because the court was held at the main mast of the sailing vessels. :)

It was only really a problem where I was stationed in California, guys would get so sunburned that they had to be put on bed rest. The CO didn't like that at all. He said they should have known better since they had seen it happen to other guys, so he dropped the hammer on them.

From up the mast? Bastard.;)

SURLY?? Cute.

Well, I guess putting together an evil goddam springy horse will do that to you.

Thanks for the info on the shirts, btw.

Dance Dance is a BLAST! A friend of mine brought hers over a week or so ago. I want one now. The only problem is, I'm so damn light I have to stomp on the arrows to make them work....

I have blue's addy if needed.

I wore one of mine to work on Wednesday.

Nobody asked about it, but I had this feeling that people were staring at me.

Because of how cool I am.

They are jealous.

I am great.

I am splendiferous.

I am probably in need of more medication.

Thanks a lot :)

Well Pi, we could probably get you one, but there would be a problem with sizing.

We don't do metric.:thumb:

*doing the impatient dance*

IwantmyshirtIwantmyshirtIwantmyshirtIwantmyshirt......;)

Why? You gotta pee? :)

Nooooooo, I want my shirt! I want to wear it so that I, too, may increase my cool splendiferousness--ess--sss. :p

I'd like to see pics of you folks wearing these things once they arrive. some more than others ;)

~syc, you can skip posting a pic of you in your hot pink cellar thong that you had me order. please.

Acknowledged, and thanks!

LJ, did you have any problems posting to Australia? Is there any extra chage for the postage?

relying on the law of averages there. dont worry about it.
i wonder how long they'll take to go around the globe. we sent them on friday 7/2 at 1pm est.

well depending on the international date line and some weird time line mojo it will probley get there on 6/29

*does a little dance*

Got mine! Thanks LJ, UT, et al. They turned out nicely.

T day has arrived! 3 T's 4 me!

Many thanks to all who worked on this project!

Just got my first two. http://www.cellar.org/images/smilies/biggrin.gif

Lookin' good!

I got mine today , now i'm just waiting for a royal blue t or 2 for my wife .

Arrived today =D
US Medium is huge compared to what i'm used to! I could wear it as a minskirt but for the good of humanity, won't. That said, very cool.

That's nothing Jag, you should see our medium condoms. :us:

yep, we grow 'em big over here. it's all the hot dogs and apple pie.

I have a healthy respect for the intelligence of US marketers, my bet is there's a law of inverse exponentials in effect.

Got mine yesterday.

Pretty snazy. :-)

This is hugely happy THANK YOU to LJ and the Toad, because the shirts have landed and England may never be quite the same again!! They actually arrived while I was away on July um...7th, which is really good considering it is holiday time and lotsa postal workers are on a beach in Spain leaving delivery to students. Too much info there but hey ho. They are ginormous which is great because a shirt with collar will go nicely under, and have interestingly long arms..... Hmmmm.

One for me and one for my stepson who is a techie with a shirt to die for, so its off to the pub for us tonight to await massive compliments to go with lots of free drink :guinness: Was there enough cash? I have Pay pal now so could top it up if required?? Let me know, and thank you again.

LJ deserves 95% of the credit!!! I am too confused to even send out the address challenged people's on time. Those are going out on Monday I swear it!

sorry, I can only accept 67% of the credit. any more than that puts me in a higher tax bracket. :(

I got mine yesterday!!

Well done LJ and Toad, i'm VERY IMPRESSED!!! the shirt (i got the ribbed one) fits perfectly!! Looks great with my Fav. jeans.. well done!!

A million thank you's for all your efforts guys :)

i'm new i'm poor i've no money~~~~55555

Well, it's a slow day and I've finally had time for my favorite pastime, which is fact-checking, trivia-searching on the Internet. I was curious about the 'pommy' term. I understood that it meant 'British', but I could not figure out why. My first thought was pomegranate, but I couldn't figure out what that had to do with 'British'. Lime juice for preventing scurvy and 'Limey' were something I guessed at a while back.

Yo Jimbo , we are still shy 2 royal blue shirst for my wife , ETA ????

i missed the boat the first time around. is it possible to still order these snazzy duds?

Am I eligible to participate in this?

That's a good question there..."God".

The t-shirts didn't seem like anything I'd want until I was captured. Now having something with my name on it instead of a number sounds like something I would like.

They aren't made from some type of gold fiber, are they?

[wistful] Any sign of my shirt? [/wistful]

And mine? :P

These will go out tomorrow.

Thanks UT. You realise it's important to me, because I'm gonna use it to meet girls. They'll see it, and think "gee that guy is cute". Then they'll see "cellar.org" writ large across my back. Then they're gonna visit and hang around in hopes of figuring out who I am.

So if we get any new girls with Colorado locations, everyone be really nice to them and pretend I'm the greatest guy around.

:D

Get in line fella we're still working for UT right now. ;)

I thought he had a girl now.

Thanks UT, I'm looking forward to mine. Though I'll be the most surprised limey to encounter another cellar dwellar in my neck of the woods, ya never know ... :cool:
Edited to add .... Oooh, post 100!

Because of our hard work. :D We can't leave the job until he tells us to quit it.

You people...! If I'd known you were gonna mention all that, I woudn'a fixed her computer so she could log in and read this stuff...!

I am now proudly wearing my T shirt. Thanks UT, LJ and everyone else who made this possible.

Mine "arrived" but for some reason the mail carrier didn't leave it in one of the lockboxes, so I need to go get it later. Did you happen to send it in a packing crate or something? Those lockboxes are pretty big and I cannot imagine a box with a t-shirt in it not fitting. :)

Yeah, the domestic shipping went in large Priority Mail boxes, cheap to send quick but pretty unwieldy.
