    I was just thinking the same and considering Modding the thread to either get it back on topic or closing it at it seems to have run it's course.

    Lets go with the Back on Topic please* option. :)

    The Daily Elliptical View

    In an interview with Tom Tomacoute of Zombie Publishing, OG (a nom de plume for an extremely moderate Moderator) has finally put the myth of Kilroy being on boards to bed. It is understood that Kilroy has been living in a tree stump in Newcastle West and masquerading as, er, an imposter called Killjoy. Because of this, I have no hesitation in cancelling my subscription to the local Wine Wholesalers.

    Well really how much can you say about Kilroy? He woz 'ere, or was here. And now appears to have gone. I suppose with the ready availability of the internet for memes and suchlike there is no need for scribbles on walls to communicate in-jokes.

    RIP Kilroy, gone the same way as Chad and another one that is nudging the edge of my memory something to do with Uncle Sam and describing things as US, meaning useless? Does anyone know what I am talking about?

    Where I work and throughout the RAF (and as far as I know a lot of other places too) the term US (more properly U/S) means Unservicable. or not working, and in extreme cases, useless)

    It is standard procedure to declare something as either 'S' or 'U/S'

    'S' = usable or 'Serviceable'

    Sure why not, they're always asking me to swear in a court of law.






    ;)
    but being an atheist, I always affirm instead.

    Last time I was on a jury and asked to affirm rather then swear on a bible a priest in the court blessed himself and mumbled a prayer. I was both affronted and amused at the same time.
    I was tempted to rub my index fingers together when he took the stand and mutter "hex, hex, hex"

    Oh, yeah...Chad. Whats that an abbreviation of? Or is it a true name?

    I think (but not 100% sure) that Chad is what the Americans shorten Charles to.

    This is an interesting website, apparently there was a link between Chad and Kilroy - in spite of my protestations to the contrary, though it was the face that was shared. 'Kilroy was here' on one version and the other was Chad (or Mr Chad) saying 'Wot no ......' sugar usually or coal.
