Hmmm, Domer should chime in on this one. Throughout college he was constantly babbling about a "Beach Party Viet Nam" type of affair. I suggest excessive bamboo decorations and tiki torches. Maybe all the females can dress as $5 "me luv you lawng time" whores.

[Ckim715]

careful, napalm sticks to kids... might be tough to get off if you soak the dogs in it.

Ive been search, but no luck, what are the words to the cadence (they are cadences not jodies) killing baby seals, and to what beat are they called?

Way up north where the air is cold
they took all my money and they took all my gold
and now I earn my livin' clubbin the baby seals (arf arf)
My wife and kids they hate me, the army just won't take me
and now I earn my livin' clubbin the baby seals (arf arf)

There's obviously more to it, that's all I can remember.

(they are cadences not jodies)

Jeez guy, let's not split hairs here. The term jodie has been in common use for quite some time. Many stories exist as to where the name was picked up, but the most believeable is as follows:

In the olden days, Jody was the dude stealing your girl back home. As Jerry or Charlie was the enemy, and you were Joe. At mail call, Drills would make fun of the soldiers getting letters from the girls saying they met someone else. Eventually, the insults and stories of Jody stealing all the pure, red-blooded american girls made it into cadences, dubbing them the nickname of "Jody Calls," or simply "Jodies."

I hear this is about right. The original story was a little longer, but that's the short version.

BTW Beach Party Vietnam should have people in hawaiian shirts and BDU bottoms, with a pig on a spit, and a cd of helicopter noises and firefighs in the background, as to simulate the proximity to the front. Soldiers (partiers) should get drunk as possible and complain about damn near everything, and talk about going home soon. However, if they actually do this last item, it will make for a very short party.

Just my advice.

thanks buddy for making me feel like a dick, yea ill retract the cadence jodie comment, and try and forget the brainwashing ive undergone.

I win again!!! VICTORY!

[CDThardass]

I win again!!! VICTORY!

take your victory and follow these steps:
1. take "VICTORY" and grip it firmly with both your left and right hand
2. pull down pants
3. bend over
4. move arms down between your legs
5. place "VICTORY" squarly where the sun dont shine.

That will be all. dismissed

[TheChick]

wait, so is "VICTORY" the same thing as "penis"?

just wondering...

[She-ra]

^^^^For guys, always

[moose]

Jody is actually synonomous with GI Joe, a variation of John Doe (J.D.)...but is is reference to the bastards back home taking the girls and livin it up as a civilian

[moose]

back to this party...will it be too much if i showed up in an American flag shirt and asked everyone to tell me about Viet-Fucking-Nam?

[CDThardass]

wait, so is "VICTORY" the same thing as "penis"?

according to the Merriam- Webster Online Dictionary, Victory is:
Main Entry: vic·to·ry
Pronunciation: 'vik-t(&-)rE
Function: noun
Inflected Form(s): plural -ries
Etymology: Middle English, from Middle French victorie, from Latin victoria, from victor
1 : the overcoming of an enemy or antagonist
2 : achievement of mastery or success in a struggle or endeavor against odds or difficulties

according to the Merriam- Webster Online Dictionary, Penis is:
Main Entry: pe·nis
Pronunciation: 'pE-n&s
Function: noun
Inflected Form(s): plural pe·nes /'pE-(")nEz/; or pe·nis·es
Etymology: Latin, penis, tail; akin to Old High German faselt penis, Greek peos
: a male organ of copulation that in male mammals including humans usually functions as the channel by which urine leaves the body

When the two words are compared, they are nothing like each other.

take your victory and follow these steps:
1. take "VICTORY" and grip it firmly with both your left and right hand
2. pull down pants

wouldnt you need to pull your pants down first, especially if your using both hands to take hold of victory?

[CDThardass]

hey guys, cant we all just get along? world peace baby! :?:

[cornbread]

no, i'm on duty all day, i choose to be bitter and hateful.

[Domer]

I don't trust dictionary entries unless they're from the one true source for the english language: The OED. And, before you little bastards start fucking annoying me about it, that stands for Oxford English Dictionary. And not the one that fits on your desk; nay, this one is about 17 volumes of pure, english hell!
