This is the actual radio conversation of a US Naval ship with Canadian authorites off the coast of Newfoundland in October 1995. Radio conversation released by the Chief of Naval Operations, 10-10-95.


Canadians: "Please devert your course 15 degrees to the South to avoid a collision."


Americans: "Reccomend you devert your course 15 degrees to the North to avoid a collision."


Canadians: "Negative. You will have to devert your course 15 degrees to the South to avoid a collision."


Americans: "This is the Captain of a US Navy ship. I say again, divert YOUR course."


Canadians: "No, I say again, YOU divert YOUR course."


Americans: "This is the Aircraft Carrier US LINCOLN, the second largest ship in the United States Atlantic Fleet. We are accompanied by three Destroyers, three Cruisers, and numerous support vessels. I DEMAND that you change your course 15 degrees North. I say again, that's one-five degrees North, or countermeasures will be undertaken to ensure the safety of this ship."


Canadians: "This is a lighthouse. Your call."

Canadians and Americans 0, internet 1. Go internet!

Awww.. funny, but, not true. :(

Whoa


Dude, I am behind the times. Next thing I know, you'll tell me that Milli Vanilli are lip synchers, or that Y2K isn't gonna come, or that MSN is owned by Micros-Ohwaitnevermind. xp

You behind-times-er-you! D:

Do you dress with the times? ;)

'twasn't meant to be mean (hence the "go internet", because the internet *always* wins).

If anyone's stupid, it's me for not knowing who Milli Vanilli are...*prods her brain with a stick*

YA TOTALLY. Just look at this totally hip Saber Toothed Tiger tunic of mine! I wear it with my striped tophat, platform shoes and bellbottoms!

Yeah, I know. You'd never intend to hurt my feelings, 'cause WE IS FRIENDS AMIRITE? BIG HUG!

Milli Vanilli was a pop duo in the early 90s... there was a huge scandal when it was discovered that they lip synched all their songs, when one of their records started to skip during a live performance.

Of course, I personally know of Villi Manilli simply because they guest starred on the Super Mario Bros cartoon; I never heard of the scandal until I saw it on VH1 years later. Ironically, the Super Mario Bros episode was only a week or so before the scandal and the episode never came out in reruns because of it. xp

And now you know!



AND KNOWING IS HALF THE BATTLE!

YAY GI JOE! And aww at Godzilla.

This topic has so mutated.

...I got to tour a lighthouse once, and look over the biiiig cliff it was built on. I have to wonder if they've put up more than a little random fence now, or if anyone ever fell off...

I swear I saw that on one of those Canadian Heritage Moments things, but I dont remember it being so nicly put though.

.............INSPIRATION OMG

*dies repeatedly*

You need love beads! And 80s hair!

*Facepalm*

Lovebeads! 80s hair! Why didn't I think of that!?

Hey, I have an idea! I can draw a blank template, and anyone who wishes to do so can draw whatever outfit they like on me!

Can I have lovebeads and poofy 80s hair? Pleeease?

Eeeeeuuuuuwwww.

........Oh my. Tilly, you didn't strike me as the kind of person who would be into that kind of thing....... XD

*Runs from the Saix*

! o_O

Wikipedia for the win!

Methinks the meaning of that hath mutated, 'cause you see like...kids craft kits and stuff for bead necklaces with it now, or I do O_o.

Then again, look at how we call those bag things that go on belts and you wear above your rear end fanny packs, and...well, you wouldn't want to call them that in England.

*censored* Butt plugs are devices that are inserted in the anus, typically to stimulate the prostate gland for pleasure. They should have a flared end to prevent the device from being lost inside the body. *censored*

:lol: :lol: :lol: :lol:

White doesnt work with this back ground

*Vomits repeatedly*

...You may want to make the text a bit lighter, I can still read it a bit. xp

If slashfic logic worked for real, we wouldn't need psychologists or doctors! By fangirl logic, buttsex cures everything, no matter how awful or traumatic!

By all definitions, aside from the original joke, I should smite this topic. >P Or at least Steve's drawing and the sex toy stufflies. o_o; and the conversation thus after. *DIES*

My dad was on the USS Enterprise. He told me of how he was once out on deck talking with some people in charge of cleaning the mess hall. These people had tied the mops to the railing and were dragging the mops in the saltwater as some sort of cleaning method (whut).

A superior officer came by and looked them over. He noticed the mops and asked, "What are you doing?"

"Trolling for buckets, sir." came the calm reply from one of the people from the mess hall.

My dad thought for sure that they'd get in trouble, but the officer thought it over and told them to carry on as he walked away.

At least that's how I remember the story.

Trolling for buckets! X3

Lol that reminds me of the common grounds the enterprise and toilet paper share....

They both go boldy where no man has gone before and pick up Klingons.

Not the Klingon joke again. *stabs self*

But yeah, no more sex toy talk, okay?

I find differences in slang and mutation of meaning/context rather cool, though. As long as we're talking Star Trek and questionable subjects, a cookie to the first person who can name the likely origins of the term "slash"!

No looking it up. That's cheating.

Well.. Theres straight and theres .. not-straight, which could imply slash! =]

Think fanfic. Think a pairing that makes Tilly want to stab things, because it ruins one of the coolest friendship-y things ever...

*edits because she left out a word and her sentence did not make sense*

HAHAHAHA! Thats too funny.

Its getting amusing knowing that a mod HAS to read my post before its posted. Maybe I should start posting like I used too. muahahaha (kidding) I like the mods too much. lol
