Seth's to blame for it all, I say! 

Hee hee, while some of us disagree with some of what
was said, we still love ya Seth-baby! Smoooooch!!!

Wow, I must be reeeeal dizzy from reading that
Mailstrom!

Anyway. let's hear more Grooisms, folks! We can't all
be behaving now, can we?

The originator of this Grooiism is unknown, but the
effects were felt by many!

I took part in a World War II reenactment of The
Battle of the Bulge in Pennsylvania this past weekend
at a US military base. While we were out in the field
on Day One, everyone kept gazing skyward as the pilot
of an A-10 Warthog performed airobatics over our
formation.

Later on a FALSE rumor spread like wildfire that the
A-10 had crashed!!! Some idiot saw the pilot do a
barrel roll or similar maneuver and disappear from
sight, and overreacted. Then some OTHER idiot believed
the rumor AND BROADCAST IT OVER THE FIELD RADIOS,
which were being monitored by the military base. 

This caused quite a stir of confusion on the base, and
next thing you know our reenactment had a cease-fire
as A-10's and F-16's patrolled the area to try and
determine what exactly someone thought they saw (they
knew it wasn't an A-10 since none of their planes were
missing).

Well, the commander of our reenaactment unit is in
rael life a Full Bird Colonel in the Air Force, so he
had to leave the field and report to the base to find
out if the rumor was true and offer his assistance if
it was, so his day was ruined any number of ways. 

He was seriously P***ED that his fun, silly "WW II
Moment" had to be totally ruined by a handful of
idiots who ran their mouths about stuff they didn't
know...and broadcast it over a radio, yet!
