“One ring to rule them all…” Hey, where did you find this?
In the lake. Well actually, it was Private Lewis who found it but then I strangled him and took it from him.

I declare this a win!
Finally a LOL I actually laughed at.
No kidding. Finally.
Yes! Funny!! And original…..big props to Falconer.
Funny, yes. Original, not so much, unless he’s possessed by JRR.
C’mon man…give the guy some credit for the funny.
Not to be pendantic (okay, well, yes, to be), but those are Navy folks, so it should be “Seaman Lewis”. : )
Let’s swallow the seamen
He killed a Marine?
Sure why not as a ex-marine once told me. You know why Marines are on Navy Ships? Because sheep would be too obvious.
All jokes aside all branches even the coast guard, thanks for serving!
My Ass Rides In Navy Equipment… ^^
Sexy sailors ftw!
Marine:
Muscles Are Required. Intelligence? Not Essential.
Also:
USMC = Uncle Sam’s Misguided Children.
(I kid! Except I don’t! My Army father taught me those when I was about seven. Later in life, I turned down a Marine for a date because “Do you know what my Dad would do to me if I brought home a jarhead?”)
Start hunting down all his old navy buddys and seeing if any of them had a son your age? ^^
Or Petty Officer, or Chief, or any of the officer rankings…
Well, “private” isn’t an officer ranking in the army so if you’re going for the equivalent, the poor murdered soul wouldn’t be one either.
Yeah, but “private” is an enlisted rank in the Army and Marines, and “seaman” “petty officer” and “chief” are enlisted ranks in the Navy.
*facepalm* Let’s slow this conversation down for you. Bob said you could use “any of the officer rankings” in addition to seaman. I said, if you want the navy equivalent of private you can’t use any officer rankings because private isn’t an officer ranking. What service the rankings belong to are completely irrelevant to the conversation.
*is* completely irrelevant.
or Petty Officer
Not to be pedantic, but you spelled “pedantic” incorrectly.
i was about to write that… i’m glad someone beat me to it
Hahaha this one is actually funny! I like it!
It was his birthday!
Precioussss memories for sure.
Thank you to those who get that joke.
What have you got in your pockets seaman Smeagul?
String or nothing!
Both wrong!
The guy in the back left looks entirely too happy about whatever is going on.
Mr Cheney’s been looking for this…
Those are Seamen, NOT Privates you Moron! I’m in the Navy and loved this lol till I got to the “Private”.
Private Lewis could have been a Marine stationed on board. CHILL
How do you know Lewis is in the Navy?
I actually thought about it but too late, I had already uploaded the caption. And just because I’m not perfectly au fait with military terminology doesn’t make me a moron but if you can’t appreciate the joke just because of that minor mistake, I think you are!
I faved this one when I first saw it in voting. It really did make me laugh….a lot!
Me too, well done Falconer!
Of course there are privates in the Navy. Look at the Marine Corp Seal, it even says, Department of the Navy.
yeah… tell a marine he’s part of the navy… lets see how long you last, lol.
lmfao. no kidding. too many fights while i was in a-school. i can tell you for sure that would be a sure fight.
NoOne: He could have killed the Marine stationed on the ship, depending what type of vessel it is.
I like how I’m the first person to care more about the fact that he’s wearing the ring and still visible than that they messed up the rank system.
I thought about it but I think the joke still works pretty good. After all Tom Bombadil could wear the ring and be visible.
O_O Good lord I’m a nerd.
GEEK!! GEEK!! We found a GEEK!!!
My first reaction was to laugh quite a bit, my second to wonder how he could read the elven runes.
It’s a new Navy tactic. So the Chinese can’t hack our systems, we’ve moved to Elvish.
Was it Cherokee you used to send urgent messages in clear without the Axis intercepting them in WW2?
You’re talking about the Windtalkers. I don’t know if it was Cherokee, but def some form of Native American.
Navajo, IIRC.
it was the navajo windtalkers. there’s a big memorial to them at window rock in arizona (which is also, incidentally, the head of the navajo nation).
however, it wasn’t straight navajo. they did use code… specific words would mean specific things. reading it outright it would sound like a typical letter or radio transmission, but if you know that “eagle” means “bomb” (i’m just making that up) then it’s a very different message.
oh, and each windtalker had 2 men assigned to guard him at all times. they were to let themselves be captured to save his life if it came to it. and no one outside of the handful of windtalkers knew the code until well after the war was over. the messages would come from above, be translated into navajo and then passed to another navajo who would then translate it back. but the middle-men had no idea what anything said.
it’s really quite interesting and the memorial is beautiful.
You said head
I ❤ Friday!!
i <3 friday too. but i would <3 it even more if it were 5pm and i were on my way to dinner and not still at work.
I hate Friday. I have to work all weekend and Sunday is inventorty. *sigh*
At least I have Mon-Wed off.
“inventorty”==inventory for the lawyers?
IIRC, the way it worked was that they’d take the letter B, come up with the Navajo for bread or brown or button or something, transmit that navaho word. H would be the navajo for horse or house or hare. So any one letter could be replaced by any number of words, none of which would be comprehensible to anyone but another Navajo. Although I can’t help thinking I am missing a layer or something.
Same!
Awesome! Lord of the Rings!
Woo hoo it’s funny!
i actually laughed. Good job!!
FYI if anyone cares, thats MCPON Rick West getting ready to pin a shipmate who earned their enlisted surface warfare specialist pin or ESWS. It supposed to signify that the sailor is knowledgeable of his/her ship and is capable of working at any station.
It’s always fun to get the backstory on the pics! So, you know these guys?
i used to be in and i work for the Navy.
It’s the MCPON? No wonder the ring doesn’t work on him!
(MCPON-==Master Chief Petty Officer of the Navy == THE top enlisted guy in the Navy == takes crap from no one and no ring.)
That’s right.. be may not be God, but he certainly makes suggestions to Him.
Holy shit! It’s the Master Chief???? [link]
Only hardcore nerds will got that.
There’s a lot of hardcore nerds, of various flavors, in the PK world.
One is named Tyler/Igor, he is of the delicious Pina Colada variety.
I’m a nerd, but I’d assume just about everyone who’s seen LOTR: Return of the King (I THINK that’s the book it was in? Or was it Two Towers? Too much book for me to remember.), or read it (although, I assume almost all readers watched the series), will understand the joke.
FYI, it was Return of the King..
Thank you, Eddie. Tolkien’s thousands of pages of text got me a little mixed up there.
No privates in the Navy, genius…
Yes there are, they’re called Marines.
and for those who said that it was a marine stationed on board: a simple sailor strangling a marine, HA!
thats the navy douche bag, there is no private rank.
No one cares asshole, it’s already been said 100 times above you.
I like this. Win !!!
umm…..
It could have also been Fireman, Airman, or Contstructionman. Those three, coupled with Seaman, make up the E3 and below ranks of the Navy.
As a former Fireman, then petty officer, then fireman, then petty officer, then fireman, then civilian, I can attest to this.
“I, Neptune, in lieu of going to prison, swear to sign away 4 years of my life to the UNITED STATES NAVY, because I want to hang out with Marines without actually having to BE one of them, because I thought the Air Force was too “corporate,” because I didn’t want to actually live in dirt like the Army, and because I thought, “Hey, I like to swim…why not?” I promise to wear clothes that went out of style in 1976 and to have my name stenciled on the butt of every pair of pants I own. I understand that I will be mistaken for the Good Humor Man during summer and for the Waffen SS during the winter. I will strive to use a different language than the rest of the English speaking world, using words like “deck, bulkhead, cover, geedunk, scuttle and head,” when I really mean “floor, wall, hat, candy, hole in wall and toilet.” I will take great pride in the fact that all Navy acronyms, rank, and insignia, and everything else for that matter, are completely different from the other services and make absolutely no sense whatsoever. I will muster, whatever the hell that is, at 0700 every morning unless I am buddy-buddy with the Chief, in which case I will show up around 0930. I vow to hone my coffee cup handling skills to the point that I can stand up in a kayak being tossed around in a typhoon, and still not spill a drop. I consent to being promoted and subsequently busted at least twice per fiscal year. I realize that, once selected for Chief, I am required to submit myself to the sick,and quite possibly illegal, whims of my newfound “colleagues.” So Help Me Neptune!”
it should have also said “i will always promote thy contry by getting drunk from port to port and throwing up only when ive ran out of room to drink and not because the waves are high. I shall try my best to spread my seed to each country and not bring anything else back with me. i will strive to replace every noun verb and adverb with a cuss word at all times except church services.”
hehehhe i like those parts as well.
lmfao. thats good. and kinda true considering.
must have the precious!
That would be petty officer Lewis. as it is navy.
A Private is the enlisted paygrade of E3 and so is a Seaman, while Petty Officer is only people E4 and above.
alright, seamen don’t hang out with privates. except their own when out to sea for long times. As far as all this marine talk WTF there are no marines in the picture, they’re usually to busy cleaning guns to be in pictures.
All right, we’re all tired of people whining about this. It’s a JOKE.
If your semen aren’t hanging out with your privates, man are you ever doing it wrong, dude….
LOL.
Too good, HST.
He can read the Mordor language?
(no, it’s not Elven, it LOOKS like Elven to an ignorant hobbit who has never set foot out of the Shire).
THAT IS THE MASTER CHIEF PETTY OFFICER OF THE NAVY RICK WEST!!!! THE MOST SENIOR ENLISTED MEMBER OF THE NAVY. and some other Sailor.
Ensign Darnnit… there are no privates in the navy!!
uhmmm…. I believe he killed a seaman not a marine. Navy guys (unless they’re seals or corpsmen) can’t normally do shit to marines or army personel. (the only two branches with privates or balls)
So you’ve not encountered ADM Mullen’s Individual Augmentee Program? Worst. Idea. Ever.
Gollum…..
