Heard a couple of funny stories last night. First, the Da was regaling us with old army stories what with the Wrestler joining the National Guard and all, and he told one about how he lived off of base during his time in the military. After he was done with Basic he started living in a trailer with 3 or 4 other guys but he was soon disciplined under Article 15 because not having more then 4 years in the service or being married meant that he wasn't allowed to do that. He took his extra duties and afterward continued to live off of base, only this time he always got back to the barracks before breakfast so that he could shower and shave and go get grub with the rest of the unit. Moral of that story? As long as you keep up appearances you can get away with most anything in the army.

Which is something that guys from the 82nd Airborne should have learned. Embracing your situational (or permanent) bisexuality is great and all but if you make gay porn videos and post them on the internet they will be found and you will be drummed out of the service. Remember, don't ask, don't tell, boys.

I love how the craziest shit is always stuff that happens in real life. Fandom is simply a way of preparing us to appreciate it.

On that note, I have some fic recs:

BSG Every Good Mother's Son by nifra_idril. Spoilers through Sacrifice.

BSG Worth It by jennyo. Roslin and Dualla post Sacrifice discussion.

BSG Unnamed fragment by nifra_idril. A Chief and Helo AU bit set during Downloaded. You'll have to scroll down to the comments to get to it.

Narnia Skies of Couple-Colour by brown_betty. Peter becoming the High King. The Lewis voice in this one is not to be missed.

Oh yes, before I forget, happy Mardi Gras to you all! May you all enjoy this day of officially sanctioned excess and debauchery!

Those 82nd boys were in Band of Lovers. atomichatred82 knows.

HA! Somehow I shoulda known that you and atomichatred82 would already know all about this. ;-)

Known about it? We paid for it. It's our fault *sob*.

Actually it's the pornographer's fault, watching his house evolve from a crummy apartment to a grand mansion over the course of the few years of his videos is actually kinda Satanic. just a bit.

Thanks for the links.

Hee hee, I must have missed the story about the 82nd's escapades. I remember certain of our friends describing military porn videos, but I missed the news story about it. Hee hee again.

Am in a perfectly foul mood today. Keep typing up self-pity/tirade posts and then deleting them because WTF, woman? It's not that bad, just get your period already and deal with life, you know? Argh. All that leads into me saying that everything in the world is pissing me off today, except you :-) And with that, I'm going to go make myself a fabulously exciting salad to eat for lunch and see if that helps at all.

oh p.s. Didn't you just weep when My Space Husband came to the funeral held by Your Space Husband, verifying our suspicion that Our Happy Group Space Marriage is the way of the future?

Honey! The world needs to stop making your life miserable. That is just not on. Sometimes being a woman makes me want to be all reborn!Sharon and throw things against the wall.

I too sniffled when I saw Our Space Husbands holding their Space Funeral. Our's is going to be a very happy marriage.

PMS is teh suck. I just have to remember that it's PMS, it's not actually the world out to drive me to drinking. But, yeah, I do feel like throwing myself against the cage walls til I bleed.

Our Space Group Marriage is going to be the best ever. We will point at Kara and Lee and Sam and Dee and laugh and laugh and laugh.
