Tango Golf India Foxtrot

“Thank God It's Friday!


and by the same token --

Papa Oscar Echo Tango Sierra


(Piss On Everything, Tomorrow's Saturday!)”

“november oscar sierra hotel india tango.

For POETS I thought the echo was for "early"”

“Whiskey Echo Romeo Echo ' Sierra
Tango Hotel Echo
Bravo Echo Echo Romeo ?”

“Oops

That first line should be

Whiskey Hotel Echo Romeo Echo ' Sierra”

“I finally have a thread named after ME!!!

Tango Yankee Victor Mike!”

“FUBAR
SNAFU”

“Yankee Whiskey?


Yankee Mike Mike Victor


Now, let's 'translate' that into igpay atin-lay, run it through the Morse Code translator and put it on an invisible thread in a white font...”

“Whiskey Tango Foxtrot???”

“Tango might foxtrot if you gave her enough whiskey....”

“I can never say Golf”

“Try it with the Silent L ...

"GOFF"

LOL”

“it always comes out GULF :P”

“okay... "GUFF" then, LOL

Like, "Down there in the GUFF of Mexico".”

“You know, it's threads like this that really get my guff. (?)”

“I'm familiar with the first two, but the third is a real corker...

Alternate decryption for Papa Oscar Echo Tango Sierra (POETS):

"Piss On Everything, Tomorrow's Sunday"


(so, while TGIF has expired, POETS is still in force)”

“It's still kinda dark out there, but

It's Friday Dammit!



(not to be confused with Gumby)”

“you can always spot a military man. but you know what tilt, it's not friday here yet. and it wouldn't matter if it was, cause i work night shift tomorrow night so my friday won't start until this time tomorrow.

can you do the whole alphabet? i forget stuff now and am not sure of half of it.
alpha, bravo, charlie, delta, echo, foxtrot, golf, hotel, india, java, kilo, lima, mike, november, oscar, papa, q_____, romeo, sierra, t____, uniform, victor, w____, x-ray, yankee, zulu”

“Nope. Not military. Never was so inclined after watching Vietnam unfold every night on TV as I was growing up! (long story)

Anyway, I got that alphabet through sailing... strictly civilian, [G]


You seem to be missing... QUEBEC, TANGO [it's in the thread title! (VBG)], and WHISKEY (a personal favorite, despite consistantly posting sober on the 'Posting Drunk' thread... a serious breach of etiquette).”

“yeah, i totally missed tango, a duh factor there. that's what happens when i'm sober. i was thinking queen, but it didn't sound right, so i left it out. whiskey, ahhhhhh. oh well, my pancreas has something to say about that just lately doggone it all anyway. i learned mine in the Army/Air Force and my oldest son polished it up for me just lately.”

“Mental capacities not functioning at peak --- It IS nearly FOUR in the freakin' morning, afterall, LOL”

“i'm a little luckier, it's 1:10 here. i got off of work around 9:50pm tonight; takes me a while to come down.”

“I hope you had a soft landing. :)

So, if they have Tango and Foxtrot, why not Waltz?”

“night shift is never a soft landing! LOL! why have a waltz when you can have a whiskey?

“I think that if i was gonna waltz, that I'd require a whiskey first.”

“How about Tangle, Foxbat and Waltz? [VBG]


Yes, I waltz reeeally well after the first couple, but then... inanimate objects begin to jump out in front of me. I don't know why.”

“TANGO GOLF INDIGO HOTEL FOXTROT

Thank God It's Hiking Friday!

And mine comes from the airline industry (all civie too)”

“a blast from the past (earlier in the thread -- ):


Papa Oscar Echo Tango Sierra... POETS!

(Piss On Everything, Tomorrow's Saturday)”

“luv it!!!”

“I'll drink to that!”

“I may tonight! LOL!
I'm still at work for 2 more hours though. It'll be close to 10 before I get back to mi hacienda.”

“POETS!”

“J = Juno, not Java.

At least it was 35 years ago. A lot has changed since then.”

“or Juliet.”

“I carried a prick 77 for a captain with a ranger batallion once. Anybody remember the Prick 77 ????”

“Nope! LOLOL”

“it's juliet, i looked it up.”

“hmmm... and R is Romeo...

Somehow I didn't picture the folks who came up with this as being huge Shakespeare fans.”
