[Danjanou]

Can anyone show up and partake in these events?

In Theory yeah. However we, or at least some of us, have a low tolerance for wannabees and/or nintendo snipers. These are get to gethers for real soldiers to socialize. How about you fill in your profile there bud. I smell poser.

 

[SABOT]

Thanks for the help on the picture thingie.  I will have to find smaller pictures, cause it isn't working for me.....Now, why do I keep getting all these emails saying peopl are answering topics.  Do I need to get a foil hat?

I was going to join you guys but seeing as I'm a "wannabe" (waiting to get into the reserves) I guess I should stay away.  And here I was going to offer my spare room to PMedMoe so she wouldn't have to get a hotel.  Danjanou, you scared me off buddy!

Pfft.  a real soldier.  and how do we come about meeting up with the real soldier interviewers to establish our credentials?

this will be an interesting nite i am sure.  we shall see who the reall soldiers are. d squared don't let the big internet talk alarm you.  some of us real soldiers don't think that way.

D Squared,

Don't let Danjanou scare you off at all. "Wannabes" and "Ninjasnipers" are a totally different thing altogether than persons who show an actual interest in joining the CF.

"Wannabes" are those who never will join and are all talk...no action. "Ninjasnipers" are those who seem to think it's all guns & glory, who have no real concept of how it really is. (Could be because of the drugs they are smoking...). These two are more commonly refered to as POSERS...I think that was Danjanou's point.

Reserves in waiting...are soldiers in waiting...those who are interested, not just talk. These (such as yourself) fall into neither the wannabe nor the Ninjasniper category (ie not a poser). I think you're good to go!!!

[PMedMoe]

D Squared, come on out and meet us! Thanks for the offer of the room but I already have a hotel booked.  I am on course in Borden right now, so a little "luxury" is a good thing!!  It's quite close to the pub (few minutes walk) so no taxis or subways.

 

[Dodger1967]

Hi Guys:

Sorry haven't posted in awhile, I made some stupid comments in another topic and was appropriately, flogged for it.

Anyways, If I don't have slo-pitch practice come up, I'm still in to party. You guys can stand at the bar, me I'll be at a table, taking it all in.

To bad I'll have to leave early, the last train back to Pickering leaves at around 00:00 hrs.

Cheers
Paul

 

[The Real Shlomo]

I am new to the city.  I see there is an undergrund tube, and there is the train known as GO.  What do you use?

I suggest you read them, you'll save yourself from looking like an ass and then getting put on counselling and probation, or banned outright.
I also suggest you leave Vern alone, she's from what I'm told Married and off limits.

Take things easy out here man !

[proudnurse]

Just wanted to post a quick message...... while I sit here working on a Sunday  ;D well, it's going fast thank goodness! I'm able to make it after all for the Greet. Moe, thank you again for the Hotel info. I'm going to try and get in touch with them, when I have a few spare moments tomorrow and will pass on the update so you know where to find me! Looking forward to seeing some familiar faces from the Guelph Greet in Dec, as well as meeting everyone I have not had the chance to yet.

[Dodger1967]

I'm wondering how many bodies will be showing up ?

And how many will need to be carried out after the festivities ? ;D

I'll be staying resonably self aware, for the most part.
