Tha Merchant Marines blew, yo

damn, I ain't even get through the first meeting before I hadda quit tha damn Merchant Marines! ear up, all.

so's I blade on down to the orientation and it's in this hell of shitty room at the American Legion Hall, this place where Soldiaz In Diapahz sit around eatin' on carrot-raisin salad and mad watching Price Is Right with their eyez closed. I am all like, that's cool that it's here, since we're all military bros. Semper fi, I'm down with that noize. I go into the room and there's just this one other dude there, this sorta kinda goth kid who graduated last year named Orion Cheng. that's his actual name. you can tell he ain't real goth cause for shoes he just wears green converse and he has a gray trenchcoat instead of black, but he does sport a black fedora. I ain't never really know him so I just give a 'sup and take a seat at the back. few minutes later this merchant marine guy all dressed up in a meter-reader uniform ducks his head in and says he'll be right back. I was like, they dress like tha Parkin' Pigs? that is stubby-wack, I gotta bail on this action. Orion was playin' that Magic: The Softening card game by his awesome self so I rose real quiet and skated the hell away from a life of givin' parkin' tickets on tha high seas. I'm AWOH (Absent With Out Hooley) so I gotta boost tha Uncle's stash. keep the peace.

Merchant Marine, y'alls!

Damn so it looks like you can get mad sailin' as a Merchant Marine! You ain't gotta go through some boot camp or all that basic trainin' hassle, you go straight to the high seas, cold assisting vessels through the Panama canal and shit. You defend cargo and keep on watch. Man I am signin' up for the Merchant Marine soon as I can find a copy of Uncle Ray's sig to copy.

I want to work on a ship!

how live would that be? all battening the hatches, mad drankin rum, tellin' stories of a sawed-off tit, straight rusted mouth from the front line. I'm gonna cook me up some Google and see if they got any kinds of Ship reality show and cetera. rough charley gonna be on a ship show!
