demonic tots!

No, really. Demonic Tots. (Courtesy of Bowleserised.) Feel the fifties fear.

I am faintly disturbed to notice that, in Friday's poll, absolutely no-one thinks I should run away and join the Navy. What's wrong here? Am I somehow insufficiently nautical? *hurt*

Hee! No, not in this case. FTL == for t3h lose == bad. New internet acronyms, overlapping with established acronyms ...

Dear sir, please, using one side of the paper only and your own words, explain precisely why it is you think I would be more suited to a career as an exotic dancer than as a minion of the miltary's nautical arm?

Oh noes!

Um ... I really really think that anything I say here will just get me into more trouble ...

I believe you may be correct :>. Unless you're very creative.

He clearly just finds you dead sexy. Also, looking sexy in uniform is really his prerogative.

Well, speaking as a proud member of Her Majesty's British Army (aka a Percy, Rupert or pongo), I think that being a rock ape (RAF Regt), crab (RAF), bootie (RM), jack or jenny (RN) are inherently poorer choices stemming from a defective and/or slavish personality.

< pedant > Interesting. My reading in early 20C British lit, and classics such as Pratchett, suggests that Percy and Rupert are slang terms for a British army officer, not just a soldier. "Jack", on the other hand, tends to refer to the lower ranks only. < /pedant >

Yes, Percy and Rupert are officer slang, while pongo is for all ranks. Jack, however, is for the Navy - Jack Tar.

My first thought was "faster than light". Although admittedly I didn't understand the connection between faster than light and pressups. Unless they're really fast pressups, I guess.
