It's a figure of speech. Like if I were to say, "No good posts from Susan. He must be an idiot." That doesn't mean that he's necessarily an idiot (well, he is, but y'know), it just means that's the best explanation for it that occurs to me.Kashluk wrote:Yeah... It's damn weird, because I remember reading it from some paper / book not so long ago. It went along something like "(...) no Jakes or Darrens accross the Canal, though. All French names must be from the calendar of saints (...)". Shiat. Could've been just a dumb joke, though.

There was a documentary on in the uk about joining the legion, if you're serious about it you should try and track it down.
They had to run everywhere, so get used to it. Sometimes they did hikes just after breakfast that finished when they next had breakfast, no breaks. The legion is also the toughest of all military forces with punishment as it's so far out of the way and you can't escape as you don't have any passport or anything really.
They also take away everything you have for 5 years, so don't bother taking anything you'd like. You'll also get a new haircut when you join, the dreaded mullet with fringe over one eye. You only get the white cap after you've completed a really long hike over the african desert onto the coast in so many hours. You also have to learn french and sing stormtrooper marching hymns.
You also have to do whatever they say no matter how pointless it seems. I think that the motto was 'Don't think, Do'. If you're serious about it, start running everywhere. And learning a little French and history of the Legion wouldn't harm either.
lol

Susan is cool and all, though

suppose you're thinking about a plate of shrimp. suddenly somebody will say like 'plate' or 'shrimp' or 'plate of shrimp', out of the blue, no explanation.
