4. Well, I WAS a proud member, until she dropped the title of "junta."
I was SO down with the junta. "Army" is just.....boring. :boring:

I mean, seriously. Who would take this 'war' seriously? It was obviously all in good fun, but accusing people of actually attacking someone didn't go over too well. Hence the deleted sub-threads.

51. Seriously, the 'war' was started by that troublemaker LynneSin
You may have called me a douchebag, I didn't really notice or care

Then she started a thread acting like she was gonna be a "peacemaker"

I had to respond.

Besides, I had pics in my Photobucket of a cool battleship.

53. The size of ships in that era was determined by the size of Panama Canal
They had to be just small enough to fit through it.

Other nations had larger ships in their Navy but those were nations that didn't have to patrol all the seas in the world.

Really.
