#28  .com: i hear ya, but I wasn't present at the famous Rhino room; O's don't let us mere enlisted play in their games. We jest get to pick up the mess.
Has anybody thought of starting a write-in campaign for the USAF Hottie who doubles as Miss Arkansas? Judging by last weeks pix: she would be in the final round.

#27  Unfortunately they don't appear to be looking for soldiers in the role of tee-shirts.

#26  I suggest Fred appoint any from the Army of Steves. (So call it the Army/Navy of Steves) The movie clips can be the resume'. :)

#25  Fred's the obvious choice, or he could nominate someone who represents the Spirit of Rantburg.

(i.e. Not Me; I'd love to, but I am not worthy of representing this august club.)

#24  The "hottest" lady warriors entering the competition from each service academy will be featured at rangerup.com tastefully wearing (surprise!) rangerup.com gear.

Here's hoping it's wet gear.

#22  I'll be reading it for the Mucky Syntax. The illustrations will relax the mind after concentrating on the Muckisms.

#21  "...a complete written and illustrated report with the Burg."

And let me guess: you'll only be "reading it for the articles", right? Uh-huh... LOL!

#20  Send Fred, and if unable/unwilling, send Mucky, and pay his expenses after he files a complete written and illustrated report with the Burg.

#16  I have to agree w/ Zenster. Fred owns this nomination and should be the delegate from RB to rangerup.com.

The only snag is this: Fred has shown a demonstrable predilection for wowen with haircit styles from the late 1930's and early 1940's. Purportedly this is true of the style of many women in the Navy, circa 2006. Whether true or not I do not know, but if true this could give an undue advantage to the lady warriors of Annapolis.

Just saying....

#15  Another vote for Fred. If anyone has earned it, he has. Go Fred!

#14  LOL .com....

I hear you loud and clear.

Don't think for a moment that "monster thread" from last Sunday didn't cross my mind as I wrote the post above. I started to comment several times on Sunday, but took OldSpook's advise to write, then walk away for a few minutes, maybe have a beer, then come back to read the post before submitting. Suffice it say I didn't pull the trigger to post. I was hot and wanted to say some things, but didn't.

I will say this: on Monday the tone on RB was "different". And not for the better. You gotta be take the heat when cookin' in the kitchen. More on that later...

Anyway....I echo (second-third) Frank G's/USN, Ret. nomination of Fred as delegate to the rangerup.com competition. Mr. Pruitt should have been contacted long before me. Fred, if you're reading this: contact "Nick"...you know who I'm talking about and how to reach him. I was thinking we should send JosephMendiolia just to screw with their heads (no offense JoeM, but I for one only understand your posts after a few cocktails and it scares me when I do to the point I stop drinking).

Rangerup , gentlemen...

#9  Fred for celeb judge. But as a Navy alumni i would sacrifice my time and talents in order to find the fairest in the land.....

#8  I suggest the proprietor, Master Fred. Since he has the good taste to appreciate the beauty of my girlfriend, Patti Ann Brown ("girlfriend" as in " unaware of the relationship or even of my existence"). :-)

#6  Gentlemen of Rantburg,

I didn't know where to post the following subject, so I elected to go with G'Morning. I hope this post will reach as many as possible.

I received an email today from "Nick" at Ranger Up.com. The guys at Ranger Up.com are instituting a friendly competition between the lady warriors at West Point and the lady warriors at Annapolis. The purpose of the competition is to determine the "hottest" lady warrior from either service academy.

The "hottest" lady warriors entering the competition from each service academy will be featured at rangerup.com tastefully wearing (surprise!) rangerup.com gear.

I've been asked to be a "celebrity judge" representing the guys from Rantburg for the purpose of this competition. Although I'm honored to have been asked to represent RB, I have respectfully declined. Even though I come to RB on a daily basis, and from time to time post a comment or two or three, I beleive there are RB "regulars" far more deserving of this honor. My sentiments have been communicated to the guys at rangerup.com. and they understand.

This post is not BS. There is a standing offer on the table from the guys at rangerup.com to have a representative from RB to serve as a "celebrity judge". (The reason I was asked by the rangerup.com people to be a judge from RB is because I took the initiative several weeks back to inquire about the name of the lovely young lady featured in the rangerup.com advertisment. Some of you will remember that her name is Grace).

Why the request for a "celebrity judge" representing RB was not communicated directly to Fred Pruitt from the guys at rangerup.com I do not know. Nevertheless, the offer is real and the guys at rangerup.com want an "impartial" judge from RB. The latter requirement could possibly automatically DQ the likes of Alaska Paul, ARMYGUY and GolfBravoUSMC (sorry, but I'm just saying...).

I saved the email from the guys at rangerup.com making the offer requesting a "celebrity judge" from RB for purposes of the competition. If anyone wants to read the email I will send them a copy of same. The guys at rangerup.com will screen for trolls. Trolls need not apply. They know who you are. I have the contact information necessary to act on this offer. Be advised: the guys at rangerup.com want/need/require biographical information on the chosen delegate.

I guess you could say this post goes out to, among others, Fred, JosephMendiola, gromky, gorb, Steve White, phil_b, sinse, Snease, bigjim-ky, badanov, .com, Frank G, wxjames, DarthVader, Old Spook, Old Patriot, mhw, Kalle, twobyfour, mojo, Mike K, 49 Pan, Zenster, Excalibur,a2u, and my apologies to everyone I forgot to mention.

Let's have an election: who do we send to rangerup.com as the delegate to represent RB? Although this endeavor may not rank in importance to the Constitutional Convention of 1787, the ladies of Rantburg are encouraged to vote, comment, and offer their constructive criticism (unlike, say, in any muslim community where such privileges would not be afforded to you).

Respectfully submitted,

Mark Z
