Naval Academy?

[Hugh Jorgan]

The biggest scandal at the Boat School these days is the lowering of academic standards for football recruits. I guess that’s not all bad, since they can fly the P-3 replacement if they graduate.

Or better yet, they could pretend to be a SEAL and wallow away their days on internet message boards frequented by those who actually earned warfare designators. Yes, they could hurl harmless insults in the direction of those to whom they admire the most, those who achieved what they could not....

Griffin was probably a BUDS washout, followed by flight training, then eventually getting tossed from surface warfare and found his niche as the guy who is a sorry excuse for a base PAO in east bumblyphuque.

VaB, I'll put my cheating degree up against your AA from Sh1tehole, PA State College any day.

Toosh or touche or whatever.

And it's not an AA, it's an Assoc in Specialized Business from Cental Penn Business School. Oh well, at least there were lots of chicks.

It's touché, but that's not the easiest to type without a word processor.


Might as well hijack this thread to do something useful, huh??

I resort to a rather primitive method, myself, to produce the nonstandard characters like ½ and ÿ. It involves the use of an ESCAPE character... nahhh, rather than try to explain the background, I'll just explain the steps...



WHILE HOLDING THE ALT KEY:

PRESS, in succession, a four digit number associated with the particular character using the numeric keypad. (The numbers along the top of the QWERTY keypad aren't the same, for this purpose.)

RELEASE the ALT KEY


For the é, the numbers are 0 2 3 3

so, HOLD ALT, type 0233, release ALT

voilà, you have an é!


Oh, for the à in the voilà, the number is 0244


For all you Españolas out there, there's the ñ at 0241,

and of course you'll need the ¿ at 0191 and the ... well, hmmm, I can't seem to find the upside down exclamation point... ¿hmmmm?


Anyway, here's a few other interesting characters:

0128 €

0133 …

0151 —

0162 ¢

0163 £

0165 ¥

0169 ©

0174 ®

0176 ° (the degree symbol)

0177 ±

0188 ¼

0189 ½

0190 ¾


Anybody know an easier way to use those characters in this primitive text editor?

Anybody know of any other interesting characters?

What's a pda?

[VaB]

Honestly, Tony. Doesn't Mrs. C have better things for you to be doing at 2330 on a Saturday night?

Pretty pathetic, huh?

Griffin, I thought maybe you'd graduated high school and shipped off to parts unknown. Just when the collective IQ of this message board starts creeping upward, you run your pie-hole and bring us all down. Go back to the acne message board at your JUCO. BMD

By the way, A$$head, what gives with including insults directed at me in the same post as you insulted Mr. Seal Wannabe Griffin?

I think 2 seperate posts were the way to go there. Especially since I carried your lazy a$$ for 3 years, with it.

 

[semperfido]

i figured he was just up in the middle of the night trying to amuse himself in some Otel in some far flung city on "trip" time. like me

 

[BMD]

Sorry.

Griffin, You're a turd.

 

[BMD]

VaB, Your typing college sucks. BMD

 

[VaB]

VaB, Your typing college sucks. BMD

Yeah. But at least there were more chicks at the typing school.

Unless, of course, you count the black shoes.



P.S. Sorry to steal your thread Hawkins, but this is the kind of love you have to look forward to.

You can always count on patrol weenies loudly spouting terms like "warfare designator," in bars, after midnight, around fat chicks. It makes them feel like real Naval Aviation guys, even though they aren't.

As opposed to DG, who only yearns to feel real Naval Aviation guys. He's a polesmoker from way back.

That "registered self abuser" under your call sign is starting to make sense.
Careful though, you may go blind.
