Patriot,

What do FUBAR and SNAFU mean?

Who knows what Zip stands for, as in Zip code

How'd I do?

I can spend so much of my free time in the other threads because I have so little knowledge of anything else. #ad


Bill, my printer is out of ink though, but not my keyboard. I think the keys on your keyboard will soon be worn out with all the posting you do. When they are, email your address to me, I'll send you a check for a new one. It will be worth the $6 for me to buy you a new one just for all the good reading. But if I do, I'm gonna have to request that you use a space after punctuation marks just so it is easier to read #ad

Hey Bryan, didn't know about the space after the comma, always wondered why it was so hard to read. Now I'll have to go back and edit in spaces on all my past posts, that should push the counter up over 6k ! #ad

FUBAR= Fouled(?) Up Beyond All recognition.
SNAFU= Situation Normal All Fouled(?) Up.
The "fouled" part is interchangable with a few other words. #ad

Let's not forget the other member of that famous military triplet: TARFU
Things Are Really Fouled Up!

For to set the record "straight" - the \\BF// was my "chops" (or official initials for messages sent in the Navy) and since they are mine forever - I still use 'em. My brand...

They didnt like the BS so went with the 1st & mid initials and someone had that so added the \\//.

Just so as to keep you confused #ad
