    Couldn’t he just rent a military uniform? Or the Neenster could whip one up from a green… well, something green.

    But I still like my Ed the Sock idea best. US Army Staff Sergeant Ed the Sock. Or maybe Topo Gigio the talking mouse. Clever, viable gimmick, there ya go.

    my name jose jimenez…

    Face it, Skeezix you are not going to be wearing that uniform. Better find something else to wear.

    @Ludwig: I just confirmed my hunch with my unabridged dictionary. The conjugation of “shrink” is either “shrink, shrank, shrunk” or “shrink, shrunk, shrunk.” So what she said is correct.

    Dypak, I thought that you’re “squawking chicken” remark more as an analogy.

    I was a Specialist E-6 upon discharge and do not feel insulted over a remark about an arm patch at all. I can’t understand why anyone would be such a crybaby about it.

    I was in the 1st SF back then, and we called the 101st the Pukin’ Buzzards or Chickens instead of Screaming Eagles, but there was no disrespect intended - just a bit of rivalry.
