Retro-tarded - The ads that shamed America

'Don't ask, don't tell' had a completely different meaning for the boys of the Third Light Infantry Brigade. Hey it wasn't all bayoneting screaming krauts in the guts or igniting a bunker with a flame thrower with a cigar clenched between your teeth. Sometimes you just wanted to kick back, get naked and let Sarge do an improvised burlesque show while the natives looked on in silent horror.

Oh the stories your Grandpa wouldn't tell you...






Well what could explain the power of Cannon Towels more efficiently than Tom of Finland's G.I. appreciation picnic? Fella's take note, don't ruin your hair by bathing naked in an crocodile infested pond without a helmet! Now you know and knowing is half the battle!

Rawk. I'm printing the canoe one and putting it up in my office. My office is supposed to be cheerful, and what's more cheerful than a lot of well-muscled naked men playing together, I ask you?

"More cheerful?" Well, how about a lot of well-muscled naked men role playing together that's what! Ohhh look at the Armor Class on that one and I wonder how many levels his character can go. One warning though: There is no saving throw against THE SEXY!

Actually, i'm printing this ad up as well and then i'm taking it down to the Veterans Retirement Home and asking the locals if this how it really went down?

Nice. Actually, I probably would like that better, but I will be the first to admit that my fourth-circuit imprint did not happen according to the usual script. Oh, well, c'est la guerre.

Also, I caution you. Those old vets may look slow, but they are crafty, and many of them walk with heavy sticks. I'm just saying.

FYI... because I know you'll find this useful in everyday life... Cannon Mills was founded by James Cannon in the late 1800's in Kannapolis, North Carolina... less than an hour from my hometown. When I was 14 I was "in love" with one of the Cannon off-off-offspring... Jeff, to be exact... *sighs*Jeff*sighs* He had some kinda red convertible with a white leather interior from the 60's that was HOT... his cousin... who I ended up with since Jeff didn't know I existed :( ... had a 60's red convertible with white leather interior mustang... redneck car! He was tall and bow-legged. We used to go to church summer camp and ice skating together. Jeff's brother, I think had a bit of a crush on me... but he was in his 20's, so perverted... Jeff was "older" at 16.

Wonder what happened to him?

And, see, you complain how I never tell you anything. Well, there is something.

I don't think he was ever in the Army.

And I thought cannon towels were only used in the backseats of cars!
