PostFri Oct 09, 09 9:12 am    Why were the viet cong called charlie? Reply with quote

Answer:

"Because they were known by the US as the Viet - Cong, which is VC for short. Viet Cong also known as VC the V stood for Victor because of the alphabet the military uses and C stands for Charlie. and they started calling them Victor Charlie but after awhile everybody just started to call them Charlie for short"

Viet Schlong also known by the kiting community as the VS. . . but after awhile the kiters just started to call them "SKYLER for short". Yes, the current military alphabet calls for "Sierra" for the letter S, but that is a females name and a more male type name is required.

So anyone riding out at RR today, Sat, Sun. Watch out in the willow laiden trails on the beach out at RR, SKYLER will be out in full force.

Can't we just say creepy fags? Or perhaps more like the military term DMZ.. but I guess it would be CFZ (creepy fag zone).

And don't get all high sensitive west coast on me, cause if you go to public beach to cavort naked and have sex with random dudes in the bushes or rub one out in secrecy while starring at unsuspecting people on the beach, you earn the right for derogatory names to be used in your presence.

Thanks for the laugh pdxmonkeyboy! Good stuff for sure. I'm going to stick with my idea and the VS. You do what you want.

Last reading I looked at this morning was like 24 g to 32. Doesn't that mean it is more like 34 to 42 out on the water? The sensor is in a wind shaddow a bit i believe.
