true story of "GROGnads`-!-"

[GROGnadsUSA]

So, one day when we're conducting an ongoing 'NATO site Detail' and it had at least '1'-foot of SNOW all around-! W-A-Y up above us was a "circling-jerkling" 'Observer' that suggested WE 'Ground-Flounders' "shovel away that-!-" Duly-Dutily it was determined as NONE-"snow shovels" are as being around-? Not even 'Entrenching Tools'-!-! THEN 'moi' procured an 'ammo box' cover, and proceeded to writ too wit out of this: EAT ME I was reminded  of this due to some 'copycats' writing out: HELP US in the snow, to an overhead "passerby"-sadly trombone-wahs NOISILY LOUDER

Hoi, so, one day at the local "Habitat for Humanity" store, 'moi' overhears one of their 'Volunteers' remarked about losing their entire 'collection' for them "Beanie Babies"-! Now, it just so happened that I had amassed a huge quantity of those cheaply over the years and keeping a few, while I gave THEM-(this person) the remainder/bulk of which filled a 'Garbage Bag'-("Leaf and Lawn" = '30'-Gals.) -sized. I was thankful of this 'establishment' on account of plenty I'd "sought-&-bought" to include a couple of 'Model Kit Ships'-(already assembled) and just PRIME/RIPE of 'cannibalizing'-parts unto still another(s). Most of the times I would purchase 'VCR Movies', 'Ticky-Tacky Knick-Knacks', 'Books', etc. Our local "Salvation Army" SURRENDER ala 'Dorothy'-babe-!

So, it just happened upon 'moi' "lil Sister's" wedding day in November, 1985 of where she had invited our Maternal 'uelita = (Hispanic-Granny) to that. The very next day once we arrived, began as '3'-days-long "Freezing Weather" descended onto the 'Puget Sound' region and usually would "knock-out power" 'around-de-Sound'-! Yeah, plenty of "T-Days" ruined UNLESS you "cooked dinner" the days before. Yeah, whose 'dibs'-?  "and then-?..." NOT A GOT-DEM FOOTBALL 'GAMES' for viewing A-L-L the "live-long day"-! ALSO her 'Plans' had met the 'enemy' of whom is "MOFO-Nature" so 'dashed' they became; that 'beotch'-!. During the "Dances with Bride" segment, practically A-L-L became "enthralled" with how we performed 'elegantly' and complimented us for this.  Later, weeks-?, back again in Michigan I'm "out and about" with '2' others at some 'Collegiate'-sort of 'Nightclub' near the "M.S.U."-site so, they'll allow 'underage-21' ones but can't serve them 'drinks'. I remark to the others about asking 'Gals' to dance and eventually '9' of them would-!  Them '2' others with myself did not so, I would commence to 'Dance' and managed with interacting/danced for them A-L-L-!-("9") The 'D.J.' exclaimed upon whether HE had seen/scene me within some 'Movie'-? Afterward, I bought all them 'Gals' a 'drink' and learned that ONLY '3' were "of age"-(21+), so, it were truly: "cheaply accomplished feats of feets"

I'm further reminded about when stationed at 'Ft.Sill, OK'-(circa 1981-1982) then at one point there was a 'Seagram's Distribution Cessation' at the local "watering holes"-!  I believe we discovered when we brought along 1.75-L bottles of 'booze' to those THEN we'd allow them to "sell drinks" out of them WHILE we didn't PAY for ours, as well without "cover charge"-! With a couple or more 'Bottles' why, you could "parley" these unto 'snacks', etc. 

Another 'time' still within the 'environs' of "Lawton, OK", I would partake of 'services' at some local "Hairdresser School" and soon after did accept TOTAL-'gratuity' of FREELY 'Haircuts', since SO-O-O-O many 'Guys' were brought along into there, according to Owner, no less-! There were EVEN a 'Ft. Lawton' in Seattle-! sadly effusing tromboner erection

"Long long long-ago..." circa 1977 is where-(1st Apartment) much of 'moi' "expertise/tease" began-! Since "War at Sea" took about an hour, then, we'd play it many times. OR still some other. "and then"-?" 1978 'Graduated' on December 7th out from "Boots-Band Camp"-! ARRIVED just in time for "New Year's Eve upon the WALL-!-" at 'Nurnberg' of some "fired Rocket Guns" ongoing from ground level upwards the WALL-! It was great, along with 'boozing' it UP-! AS I would "make up the bunk" and flipped the mattress, THERE discovered were a copy of "War at Sea"-!

PRIOR to 'Service' then I 'worked' at "Seattle's Shipyards" usually with 'Sub-Contractor's' DUES for them paying US 'Double-Pay' after regular '8'-hours-? The "Labor Day" weekend just before 'enlistment' was when/where I spent THAT of '20'-hours continuous-duration " on the job". The following 'Paycheck' was spent on an elaborate "Going into The Army"-NON-G.I. 'Party', better huh-? I bought a 1-Gallon "Chivas Regal" 'Scotch' bottle and probably a dozen others, well my 'Moms' did, while my recently"passed away" games-Pardner got the keg of "COORS" THAT was the *thang* of the 'times' although I quit imbibing "Bud"-(the noxious Brew) Wasn't there SOME 'Movie' about this-? Anyways, "Burt Reynolds" was born in Lansing, MI-! Me too, and Father with '2' siblings as well. GOT my "S.S.A." at age 13 to work farms/fields, had 'Busboy' job at "Steaks House" when 14, becomes 'Dishwasher' at 15 of 'Family Restaurant' that has 'Buffets'-! There were also '2' "Bars" because downstairs is their 'Private' one.

During "New Year's Eve" 1973" the 'Head Waiter' had an armload of 'bottles' and dropped most without 'breakage'-! One of their yet another 'Dishwashers' had stopped by to visit earlier, as HE  'suggested' we ALSO take some and blame it "on" HIM-! So, we did since nothing happened-?-! Yeah-! "Slave-Child Wages" WERE a 'slopping-whopping' USD $1.65 per hour. At least you weren't getting 'filthy-dirty' of Fields/Farms. They seemed with having 'Black Loam'-(?) overall and it blew onto us constantly beneath the blazing "Summer Sun"-!

So, having WON '1st Place' previously in 1979 of "A.H. Classics 500" at "RheinCON`79" THAT was with "France: 1940" using "Historical" Set ups. In 1980 this 'time' will attempt of "BEST Gamer" from whatever was 'selected' as SPI "Wagram" was ours for "Best Games Player"-Dude. At one 'time' during our play, a 'G.N.' approached to converse with 'moi' opponent. DID "Win" the game and became "2nd-Place" due from "1st Place"-Dude also "WINS"-! We used the "Double-Down Dutch-Dam" 'method', so, there's THAT-! Later on the 'Train Ride Return' I meet up with the "inquireor"/"inquisitive"-G.N. and asked what he had "said" back then-? Oh, HE 'asked' my opponent whether or not-at-all DID the 'Victory Conditions' have the "Retreat-Points" clause-? His reply is: "It's HIS 'Game' so he should know-!-" BECAUSE, it WAS thus that "WON" the 'Game' for 'moi'-! '102' =Austrians-(me) to '100' =French We both "laughed" Greater 'Times' awaited at corner 'Brat stands', 'HOT Pretzel/Mustard' Kiosks/etc.

Just now listening to this 'song' and it reminds myself of WHEN working at "Grocery Outlet", Aberdeen, WA-state NOT the 'Outback' of "Western Australian" back in December, 2001 I had heard you can order 'Chocolate Cake in a Bag', maybe-? The previous Summer I had been plying a young-'Gal' of whom worked there, to attend 'Shows' at a local Casino-! So, October 2nd I begin to work there too, and ONLY when this young-'Gal' appears on HER '21st' at a place/water-hole and we 'danced' with this 'tune' playing, hence, thus-!  She did not mention being younger than '21' at anytime-!
