Been re-reading SSHE, and I just wanted to say ...

BritNewbie · #1 06-26-2005, 01:43 PM

This is my copy of SSHE.
There are many like it, but this one is mine.
My copy of SSHE is my best friend.
It is my life.
I must master it as I must master my life.
Without me my copy of SSHE is useless.
Without my copy of SSHE I am useless.
I must use my copy of SSHE true.
I must play better than my opponent who is trying to beat me.
I must outplay him before he outplays me.
I will.
Before God I swear this creed.
My copy of SSHE and myself are defenders of my bankroll.
We are the masters of our opponent.
We are the saviours of my life.
So be it, until there are no opponents to fear, but Peace.
Amen.

(Apologies if this has been done before. Just seemed like something I needed to say right now!)

This is a parody on the Marine Corp's rifleman's creed.

Damn!!!

That certainly sounds good but it just makes me think your really weird. No offense. If you find yourself becoming addicted to gambling make sure you get some help. They say that obsessive compulsive personalities suffer the most from this [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]

FROM THE USMC WEBSITE:

In boot camp at Parris Island or San Diego, and in the Basic School at Quantico, no one escapes from the Rifleman's Creed. Every Marine is trained, first and foremost, as a rifleman, for it is the rifleman who must close with and destroy the enemy. The rifleman remains the most basic tenet of Marine Corps doctrine. All else revolves around him. Marine Aviation, Marine Armor, Marine Artillery, and all supporting arms and warfighting assets exit to support the rifleman. It is believed that MGen. William H. Rupertus, USMC, authored the creed shortly after the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor in 1941. It is commonly known as the Rifleman's Creed, but it has also been called "My Rifle: The Creed of a United States Marine." Every Marine must memorize this creed. And, every Marine must live by the creed.

This is my rifle. There are many like it, but this one is mine. It is my life. I must master it as I must master my life. Without me my rifle is useless. Without my rifle, I am useless. I must fire my rifle true. I must shoot straighter than the enemy who is trying to kill me. I must shoot him before he shoots me. I will. My rifle and I know that what counts in war is not the rounds we fire, the noise of our burst, or the smoke we make. We know that it is the hits that count. We will hit.

My rifle is human, even as I am human, because it is my life. Thus, I will learn it as a brother. I will learn its weaknesses, its strengths, its parts, its accessories, its sights and its barrel. I will keep my rifle clean and ready, even as I am clean and ready. We will become part of each other.

Before God I swear this creed. My rifle and I are the defenders of my country. We are the masters of our enemy. We are the saviors of my life.

So be it, until victory is America's and there is no enemy.

Yeah yeah yeah...I get it already. Im just saying applying a Marine Chant/Creed to SSHE is a little weird. Does it not seem weird to anyone else? Oh well, I think so. Anyway...

I've somehow misplaced my copy of SSHE (I had some rogue roommates dump my possessions in the lawn last November -- don't ask). I'm trying to go as long as possible without replacing it in hopes it will show up. But I'm really not far from giving in and getting another copy.

Don't suppose anyone has a used one to unload? [img]/images/graemlins/wink.gif[/img]
