Fun fact: if you tie a string around a finger, the tip turns Capillary Blue

While we are at it, let's discuss wary vs. weary. That drives me nuts and I have seen 3-4 instances already this morning.

Calphery?

I've never had an issue with this pronunciation, but after reading this thread I can't seem to say it correctly any more. Ugh....

Not to be confused with the event of being sad over the control and oppression of Silly-Putty:

Clayvery Blue.


(Clay+Slavery= Clayvery, blue=sadness)

Maybe if you own one you should participate in a spur ride...shave tails!:boxer::boxer:

That's a great point Sergeant Major.

I have never done a spur ride but did my fair share of unit validation / morale builders for leadership. Mentioned previously but my personal circumstances are all but dictating that I upgrade to this truck.

My company is named Cavalry, I'm retired Army, my office over looks Fiddler's Green, we are on the 19th floor...

I had the wonderful (sarcasm) opportunity to fulfill the additional duties of unit safety officer over in Germany. We were a small fixed station communications organization that was about 1/3 Military, 1/3 US Civilians (read: Old) and 1/3 Local Nationals. Big headquarters in europe would develop these intricate safety stand down plans that had little room for interpretation or wiggle room...aka one size fits all. They had this 2hr long video of a state trooper from Alabama that had the stereotypical deep south accent that was unintelligible to most Americans, let alone europeans who spoke English as a Second Language. To suffer and sit through that video and all of the other training requirements was painful... not to mention not at all relevant.
