The Cast Of Characters: Part One

Posted By Laughing_Wolf

For Klueless and other trolls, and for those new to the site, I've begun preparing a visual primer to the members of Blackfive. In this way, you will have an idea of who is writing what, and begin to get to know the cast a bit better. Today, we are starting with the ground pounders and the token civilian here.

Our host, Beerable Lecter, is the head of the team. He bravely leads into the fray and is quick to slaughter a bottle or three -- and crazy enough to let the rest of us post here. BTW, he has served and the trolls, trolleys, and other such delights would do well to study his bona fides before tossing around comments about serving and such. He has indeed seen the elephant and has the damage to prove it. Now, this is a rare photo of Beerable, in that he is wearing white instead of his usual metro-fly-green shirt and garb.

Moving counterclockwise, we encounter Bad Acting, who carries on under the nom-de-plume of Uncle Jimbo. Watch the videos and you see why the nom-de-plume, for when a huskey mix out performs you... For the tools out there, check the bona fides before tossing around ignorant comments.

Continuing on around the backwards clock you find howling pilot and rogue civilian Laughing Wolf. Yes, I am quite mad, as evidenced by this post.

To the right is the distinguished and debonair Mr. Wolf. He earned that name during is time in Iraq, and has the chops to back what he says. You would be wise to listen to Mr. Wolf...

In the center is our intellectual center the bearish Grim. Erudite, thoughtful, and far more patient than most here, he too has the background to add experience to the thoughtful discussions.

Next up will be an introduction to the naval contingent, and if you think this is bad...

Meantime, study up and use this to keep straight who is writing what dear trolls. It helps when you use the proper names and at least have some idea of who you are attacking so as to use appropriate ad homs.

For the rest of you, I hope this will get you to learn a bit more about the cast and provide a laugh on which to end the day.

LW
who wonders if this counts as the eye candy the ladies requested?

Comments

[Grim]

You realize that in spite of your kind words, I will have to kill you.

[FbL]

*heehee* Put a smile on my face. :)

*sitting back to watch the rest of the comments*

[Laughing Wolf]

Yeah, figured. It was either you or Uncle J as Melinda, and you live further away...

[MissBirdlegs in AL]

I'm with Fbl - gonna just watch the fireworks!

[zonker]

Nice try, LW. That ain't Blackfive...neither hand holds a Guinness.

[rgrmom82]

OMIG! too funny...if you had your own gal contributor, the mask would be.....

shhhhh wait for it.......

beaver?

[steveegg]

Hate to quibble, but methinks you meant "clockwise".

[Uncle Jimbo]

I think I am required to say:

I pity the fool!

Cordially,

Uncle J

[Teresa]

Look at that bunch of stud muffins. *grin*

[michele]

I'm just going to stand back, let the fur fly and see what's left on the ground not moving, before I even attempt to go in and give first aid.

[Gmo]

I pity the fool that doesn't recognize the "A Team" wearing funny faces.

[Subsunk]

Oh, great! I can hardly wait! How big a fool are you gonna make me? Remember, no photo is worth the risk of counterdetection. As Grim says, no matter how kind your words are, I'll have to kill you.

Subsunk

[El Coqui]

Popcorn, peanuts, get your sodas here! Programs for the games.
:)

[AFSister]

ohhhhh lordy.... you've turned into PLUSHIES!

[Ymarsakar]

In the center is our intellectual center the bearish Grim.

Nice looking dress Grim has there.

Where do you do your hair, Grim?

I used to watch that show on reruns, and it was hilariously funny as well as unorthodox in its tactics. A very good encouragement to think outside the box, even if at the time there was no tactical background for me to make any comparisons.

I keep remembering the guy with the cigar walking away and things going Boom right on schedule. Loved that.

[Grim]

"Where do you do your hair, Grim?"

Truthfully, I have my wife buzz it off with a set of clippers. A man who wears a hat as faithfully as I do has no need of hair.

[malclave]

First thought... I never imagined Grim was so hawt...

Second thought... none. The "A-Team" theme is now running incessantly throught what passes for my brain.

Eagerly awaiting the next installment... McHale's Navy? Remington Steele? Gilligan's Island?

[Uncle Jimbo]

You will notice that LW had the commnon sense to use my adorable mug rather than a plushy face.

Cordially,

Uncle J

[Ymarsakar]

Ya, like your dog, Karma's face, Jim.

[rgrmom82]

um yea, but whose arms???

Next time, think kilts. If it's good for Michelle...

[Synova]

And yet again I'm with rgrmom... think kilts. :-)

[JihadGene]

Q-You know why kilts Synova?

A-Cause sheep can hear the zippers!

[Eric Jette , SantaFe , USA]

Was this taken before or after that massive pub crawl....curious minds want to know....Chuckle!

[Synova]

"Cause sheep can hear the zippers!"

*snicker*

[armywifetoddlermom]

looks like a "furry convention"....

[Wolf]

OMG... I get back to 'civilization' and find out I'm replaced by a Muppet?????

WAAY too funny. Thanks, my friend!

W

[Laughing Wolf]

Hey, except for Grim, they are not plushies -- real wolves. No offense to the others, but I'm hoping *THEY* don't take exception to the usage! That could really bite. *G*

Hmmmm. McHale's Navy. Good idea, thanks!

LW

[Rita]

Nice medallions, if you know what I mean :)

Make them Howl! :)

[Laughing Wolf]

And Steve, yeah, I did mean clockwise. There is a reason there is no Guiness in Beerable's hand...

[Subsunk]

Dude, you must be wealthy. You can afford a wife? I have to cut my own hair. Mrs. Subsunk says she isn't paid to do those things. Makes for quite a billiard ball look already, but when I have to cut off the only 10 or 12 hairs on my ugly head, why pay for it? And sunburn and I are not strangers. A cowboy hat works well for me to hide me ugly ears also.

Now if I could only get the hair on my back long enough to comb over my head. Then I'd be...... warm in the winter. (And you thought I was going to say handsome....Not)

Subsunk

PS, Just remember, LW. I know how to find you AND sneak up on you. My portrait better be suitably nautical and distiguished as well. At least as distinguished as the wanted posters in the Post Office. Shipmate.

[Blackfive]

"Nothing says lovin' like something from the oven..."

[Sammy D]

Noooooooooooooooo WAY BEFORE I got to the last sentence I was thinking "This is SO NOT eye candy."

[Grim]

"Dude, you must be wealthy. You can afford a wife?"

I couldn't afford not to have a wife.

[Michael in MI]

Hmmm, so if Matt, Uncle Jimbo, Mr. Wolf, Laughing Wolf and Grim are the "A Team", does this mean that the Naval contingent of Subsunk, Froggy and Pinch Paisley are the "B Team". Not sure the Navy guys take would take too kindly to secondhand-blogger status. In fact, I think I have already seen some "I'll kill you" comments. :)

That said, what are some nice trios to represent the Navy guys?... 3 Muskateers? 3 Stooges? 3 Blind Mice? Power of 3 from the TV show Charmed? Or maybe playing off the muppets and "Froggy", you will have Kermit the Frog, Gonzo and Fozzy Bear? Wacka wacka wacka! :)

[rgrmom82]

hehehehe

Looks like the cast of the New Disneys movie

[Carrie]

Huh...
Grim doesn't look quite the way I pictured him.

Nice dress though...a little daring for April with that off the shoulder look.

[Ymarsakar]

A man who wears a hat as faithfully as I do has no need of hair.

You sure the Marine Corps doesn't have something to do with the cutting of the hair?

[Ymarsakar]

You can afford a wife?

What's that phrase?

Captains may marry, Majors should marry, Colonels must marry.

[Old Tanker]

I can afford the wife o.k. it's the girlfriend that's killing me......

kidding

[Cassandra]

"Nothing says lovin' like something from the oven..."

I just lost it. re: Grim and his off-the-shoulder thing, you just knew he'd get all tarted up for his photo op, Carrie.

The man is such a tease.

[Carrie]

Who'd have thought he'd go with pastel pink though???

What WAS he thinking?? Talk about a fashion faux pas..

[FbL]

"Nothing says lovin' like something from the oven..."

I think Matt will discover next weekend that he has a new nickname... :D

[Cassandra]

Yes, I am beginning to regret giving up my B5 login...

How much would y'all have paid me to "improve" his masthead and put that little motto next to the BlackFive graphic?

Hmmmm.....

[Carrie]

I'd have given you all of my Ioan Gruffudd in Horatio Hornblower DVD's and you KNOW how much I prize those.

[Rita]

OK, for the ladies where is the eye candy in that picture? I don't see it :) I tell you, the ladies on this site need eye candy once in a while. It benefits the readers :)

[Tammi]

LW?

LW!?!?!?

That is some funny shit dude. But I just have to wonder....what were you THINKIN'?!?!

Those top secret identities are sacred! Ohhhh you're in trouble now!!! ;-)

[Carrie]

LOL..
Does this mean that Matt isn't cracking wise but poppin' fresh?

[Grim]

You realize, Laughing Boy, that I'm too much of a gentleman to punish these women for their insolence. All this is coming out of your hide. :)

[Carrie]

You're so pretty when you're mad, Grim.....

[LongTabSigO]

No sheepdogs?

and why no Lime Green shirt for B5?

[Grim]

You're only making it worse on the boy, Carrie. Not that it can get a lot worse:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blood_Eagle

"The Blood Eagle was reportedly a method of torture and execution that is sometimes mentioned in Norse saga literature. It was performed by cutting the ribs of the victim by the spine, breaking the ribs so they resembled blood-stained wings, and pulling the lungs out. Salt was sprinkled in the wounds."

I figure his pet wolves will clean up for me. Winners all around!

[LongTabSigO]

(Cue martial drums)...

In 2003, a crack commando unit was driven to distraction by a world situation they didn't control. These men promptly escaped from a maximum security stockade (i.e. the kitchen) and found refuge in the blogsphere. Today, still wanted by the government (and women of various degrees of virtue), they survive as bloggers of fortune.

If you have a problem; if no one else can help - and if you can type "www.blackfive.net" - maybe you can hire...the A-Team...(Cue theme music)

[Grim]

"...they survive as bloggers of fortune."

Without the fortune. :)

[Tammi]

LongTabSigO - that's some funny stuff....

:-)

[Sly2017]

Well, then, as long as someone else is paying for our commentary.............
bwaahaahaahaa
>;~}

Grim indeed is the news out of Fairytale Land today as the truth of Goldilocks and the Three Bears - Baby Bear Revealed (in an off-the-shoulder frock, no less) scorched the front page news of Mother Goose Review.

[Ymarsakar]

"The Blood Eagle was reportedly a method of torture and execution that is sometimes mentioned in Norse saga literature.

That was good eating. Just saying.

The fortune of great friends and companions.

It takes a woman to really criticize fashion and dresses, Grim. Laughing is just trying to help out a friend by eliciting advice from the gifted audience. Surely you cannot hold him in dark thoughts for such well intentioned actions, Grim?

[Carrie]

*sicker*.....

[Grim]

All I'm saying is, when you read about a "horrible accident" at the wolf park, don't be surprised.

[Carrie]

Ymars,
I hope Grim knows that his friends will be quick to tease him but quicker still to defend him when the situation calls for it.

[Sly2017]

I'm sure that is the driving force behind his tolerance, Carrie.

Either that or he's one of those *quiet* neighbors we always read about "after the fact". You know, the ones who secretly wear women's dresses and don faux animal heads whilst contemplating the old Klingon saying, "Revenge is a dish best served cold.".....

[Grim]

What "after the fact"? I just told you I was going to rip his lungs out and salt them.

[Ymarsakar]

Hey Grim, were you able to procure any of Zarq's bodyparts to be used as feed for the pigs that were going into the honey ham machine? I'm asking cause I think some of that ham would go great with your ribs.

[Laughing Wolf]

For any part of me, use lots of salt -- it's needed. :) Also consider that I may just decide to pull an (Agnes) Nutter in extremis.

[Ymarsakar]

Beserker style?

[Harvey]

Splitting hairs here, but Matty O'Beerable slaughters his beers 6 at a time, not three.

A minor point, to be sure, but I won't have you denigrating his fine Irish heritage.

[bthun]

Did someone say smoked, salted, BBQ ribs?

[alexa kim]

ROTFLMAO!

*tries to regain composure*

Um... ok... wait... ok ok... ok, well'p... lemme' say, eye candy?... um, no.

More like eye judo.
