Jimmy Carter was in WWII?

[JBucc]

Why those are just HILARIOUS!

[RealSNR]

[Rain Man]

Venereal diseases are cruel, plain and simple. It's the adult equivalent of having a straight pin inserted into your apple on Halloween.

[Halfcan]

Nice thread-you would never see that stuff now.

You must have lived in some kind of idyllic neighboorhood, if they only used straight pins. Razor blades were the norm in my neighboorhood.

[BigMeatballDave]

Excellent use of political correctness...

I personally wouldn't know, sounds like you do though.:)




You know, that was just wrong. Rainman should be above smack like that, but when it's just floating slowly to the plate, I just had to take a swing):)

[Bowser]

So is catching VD acceptable in times of peace?

[Iowanian]

I've got a couple

[listopencil]

Why are you back?

[Rain Man]

I always figured that Mr. Peanut would be in the artillery instead of the infantry, what with his knowledge of shells.

[Hammock Parties]

Why are you back?

When did I leave?

but you refrained from posting for a period of time sufficiently long to cause some of us concern that you might actually be gone, as it were...

C'mon, people. Imagine how long it took him to draw all of the posters on this thread. Of course he's been gone for a while.

Looks like that lady from those "Mary Jane" public service announcements from the 40's.

I heard she caught herpes from a strap-on used by a couple of biker lesbian chicks. Then she died. Or became a Titans fan. Or something.

What do you suppose she did? I'll bet she shared weather data that allowed the Japanese to float those balloon bombs over to the U.S.

Is that Tokyo Rose or Axis Sally? I used to be able to tell them apart.

[BucEyedPea]

Is that Tokyo Rose or Axis Sally? I used to be able to tell them apart.

Again? It must be cataracts.
:hmmm:

[Donger]

Is that Tokyo Rose or Axis Sally? I used to be able to tell them apart.

Considering that the many 'Tokyo Rose' gals were all of Japanese ancestry, I'd hope that you'd be able to tell them apart rather quickly.

[Hammock Parties]

Axis Sally! ROFL

[Donger]

Axis Sally! ROFL

Why is that funny?

[Skip Towne]

Axis Sally! ROFL
Hey, goose, there really was an Axis Sally.

[Hammock Parties]

I know...I just think it's a hilarious name.

[CHIEF4EVER]

Hey, goose, there really was an Axis Sally.

There was also Helga the Nutcruncher but she wasn't so well known....the name just wasn't PC and all back in those days.......

[Skip Towne]

I know...I just think it's a hilarious name.
Go google her. It's a good story.

[greg63]

Axis Sally! ROFL


When did you come back?

[Hammock Parties]

I never left.

[KcMizzou]

Go google her. It's a good story.
Gotta love wikipedia. I learned something today.

"Axis Sally" (November 29 (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/November_29), 1900 (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1900) – June 25 (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/June_25), 1988 (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1988)) was a female radio (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Radio) personality during World War II (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/World_War_II). Born Mildred Elizabeth Sisk in Portland, Maine (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Portland%2C_Maine), she took the name Mildred Gillars as a small child after her mother remarried and moved to New York City (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/New_York_City) where young Mildred dreamed of becoming an actress, but she met with little success.

Gillars studied drama at Ohio Wesleyan University (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ohio_Wesleyan_University), but dropped out before graduating. She found employment in Europe, working as an English instructor at the Berlitz School of Languages in Berlin, Germany (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Berlin%2C_Germany), in 1935 (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1935). Later, she accepted a job as an announcer and actress with Radio Berlin, where she remained until Nazi Germany (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nazi_Germany) fell in 1945 (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1945).

With her sultry voice, Gillars was a well-known propagandist to Allied troops, who gave her the nickname "Axis Sally." Her most infamous broadcast was made on May 11 (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/May_11), 1944 (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1944), prior to the D-Day (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/D-Day) invasion of Normandy, France (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Normandy%2C_France). Gillars portrayed an American mother who dreamed that her son had been killed in the English Channel (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/English_Channel). An announcer's voice made the message clear: "The D of D-Day stands for doom… disaster… death… defeat… Dunkerque (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Battle_of_Dunkirk) or Dieppe (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dieppe_Raid)."

After the war, Gillars was captured and eventually flown back to the United States (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_States) in 1948 (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1948). She was charged with 10 counts of treason (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Treason), although she was actually only tried for eight.

Prosecutors alleged that Gillars had signed an oath of allegiance to Nazi Germany and that she had posed as a worker for the International Red Cross (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/International_Red_Cross) in order to record messages from American soldiers that could be converted into propaganda.

Gillars' defense attorneys argued that her broadcasts stated an unpopular opinion but did not rise to the level of treason, and that she was under the sway of her former romantic interest, Max Otto Koischwitz, a German national whom she had met at Hunter College in New York City (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/New_York_City).

The sensational, six-week trial ended on March 8 (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/March_8), 1949 (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1949). After long deliberations, the jury convicted Gillars on only one count of treason.
Gillars was sentenced to 10 to 30 years. She became eligible for parole in 1959 (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1959), but did not pursue it until two years later when she applied for parole and received it. Gillars taught music to kindergarteners at a Catholic school in Columbus, Ohio (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Columbus%2C_Ohio), and returned to Ohio Wesleyan to earn a degree in 1973 (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1973).

Whereas the best-known foreign broadcaster for Germany, William Joyce or "Lord Haw-Haw (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lord_Haw-Haw)," was hanged by the British for treason after the war, Mildred Gillars died of natural causes at the age of 87.

I think she got a bad rap. If she hadn't been their figurevoice for propaganda, they would have probably killed her.

[Hammock Parties]

Owned by KzMizzou. The Tokyo Rose story is interesting too. As is Lord Haw-Haw, Hanoi Hannah, and Seoul City Sue.
