Rots a’ Ruck on this thlead!
ROR!
Hey, we’re a friendly ruck. We pick up our trash, say pleas and thank you. A+++
Ruck and Roil! LOL A+++
You really do not kick the ball to a teammate, you move it backwards with your feet on legs to the rear of the ruck, where the scrum half grabs the ball and passes out to a teammate. This starts a new phase of the attack. You have to enter a ruck from your side, or else it is a penalty. You cannot move the ball with your hands in the ruck or it a penalty to the other team.
Everyone who has ever been in the Army or Marine Corps knows what a “ruck” is, and those aren’t the definition.
n. short for rucksack - a big a$$ heavy backpack that holds a ton of gear.
v. short for road march conducted while carrying a rucksack - a long a$$ road march while carrying a fully loaded big a$$ ruck on your back going over miles and miles of hills.
Sentence: Which *%@(#^&% genius thought it was a good idea to make us ruck in the freezing rain with our rucks filled with 80 lbs. of gear and ammo, but leaving our snivel gear in the barracks.
well THAT explains it all! A++
LOL good find! A+++
very interesting! A+++
The sheeple, the lemmings, the ruck
Chose Obama, and now we are stuck
The left loves his color
The right finds him duller
Than dishwater; plus, he’s a shmuck
don’t scooby doo say thuis all the time?
Hey, who’s raising the ruckus?
LMAO A+++
.....who knew?
No, that was “Astro,” the Jetson family dog.
just the usual FRiday crowd, er ruck.
We’ve got 50 degrees now and heading down. 40 mph gusts later today and snow showers. Nothing much for accumulation, but a bad day for the local Dairy Queen to pick for opening for the season!
From a 30 year long, since retired, player. Also reffed. Rugby is a great game.
In London, George decided that for today, he would have his break-time tea in the park instead of in his truck, and everyone knows that if you take the tea out of the truck, you’re left with ruck.
oh, good grief
LOL A++
“Shmuck” is a wonderfully descriptive word, for Jew and Gentile alike. My favorite “shmuck joke”:
A woman says to her hen-pecked husband, “Harry, you are such a shmuck. If they had a contest of all the shmucks in the world, you would finish second.”
“Second? Why second?”
“’cause you’re a shmuck!”
a great word, it beats the other four letter word that rhymes with ruck.....
;^)
and that IS a great joke. LOL
Excellent
Ever been to the rodeo? I’ll be in Houston next week and I think we’re planning to go one night.
I have not been to the Houston rodeo but I think it is a well done event. I’m sure you will have a good time.
Ruck row! /scooby accent 8<)
Schmuck alert!
Which *%@(#^&% genius thought it was a good idea to make us ruck in the freezing rain with our rucks filled with 80 lbs. of gear and ammo, but leaving our snivel gear in the barracks.
Answer: some REMR (rear-echelon mother rucker)
You just made my day.
I think I'm speechless.
Probably best to refrain from the —Nantucket—ruck it—..... approach today ;-)
Home for lunch and printing invoices-
Has anyone ever noticed
How trying times bring out
Earthwatchers in Birkenstocks
To lecture us and to shout
At the average ruck of people
To shut up-just stop the raving
As the price of meat goes up
Think of the cows you’re saving
If the price of gas is too high
And the cost of a Volt above you
Put on boots and start walking-
And Al Gore will surely love you...
Could you describe the ruckus, sir?
algore......LOL drank too much ice tea, invented the internet, inspiration for love story, globull warming guru, VP, what an achiever.
oops. A+++
The ad rem of the event boils down to the ruck showing up for breakfast and then someone shouted they had run out of bacon. The crowd wasn’t interested in the gallimaufry of breakfast items if there was no bacon. Thus the cacography on the walls included food from the food fight that ensued. The tenebrific zeitgeist was rowdy with food flying everywhere. The panjandrum who started it all was smiling as he sat in detention that night. He got a minatory lecture from the principal who exuviated the BS and came up with the idoneous punishment. The culprit had spent the day scrubbing down the cafeteria. The principal, a funambulist, was fairly pedant about the cleanup. The cafeteria was now spotless. Till they run out of bacon again.
The ad rem elements of the event.....blah, blah.....
Translation for dogs, er men:
Blah blah blah bacon. Blah blah blah blah bacon blah. Blah blah blah blah. Blah blah. Blah blah bacon.
Thank you!
While walkiung in the woods collecting wood, I was checking out the various animal tracks, watching for the cougar’s. I came across some of the biggest deer tracks I’ve ever seen outside of mule deer country (we only have white tails here)-they came within less than a foot of some normal sized white tail tracks, and they were half again as big.
Sometimes, where there are exotic game ranches nearby, you will find tracks of sika, fallow, red and other imported large deer species, and yes, mule deer too-but there are no such ranches within at least 10 miles that I know of, and the nearest native mulies are a few hundred miles away in west Texas so that is really weird.
I found the cougar’s fresh tracks, as usual at the top of the next hill, leading into the deepest part of the woods above the rockfall (and the dumpsters at the park)-no sign of a victim being killed or dragged away this time, though...

Gee, I have no idea what kind of dear we have around here. And I wouldn’t know a cougar print at all. I feel like a true city girl.
