I made this page up for fun one day, who’d have guessed it would become the most popular page on the whole site? I’ve spotted it copied in several places, usually loaded with popups and stamped with someone else’s URL.
Welcome to the Internet!

 I want team A to take up flanking positions and lay down covering fire for team B who will be moving up using bounding overwatch in order to lay down a beaten zone until my signal at which point fire will converge upon the objective |
 We’ll wing it |
 Shit, I think he was on our side |
He’ll be out in a minute |
 I missed because my sights are off |
 Sorry, my fault |
 My (fogged-up) goggles need a wipe |
 I brought the wrong ammo again |

 Those bastards don’t have a chance |
 Those bastards may have a chance |
 We don’t have a chance |
 You first |
 There’s no way I’m going in there |
 We’re out of here |
 Remain in front of me where it is safe |
 Are there two teams, or what? |
 This gear is heavy, my lower back could use a massage |
Some History
The pictures were originally scanned years ago from “GO GO GO” magazine, volume 1.
A translation from Chinese was done by a fellow I knew from the UCAC (now long gone). He posted the original web page - which is also long gone - with “real” text (meaning the real signal meanings).
I decided those were too boring, and made this much better version instead. Over the years I have modified a few of the captions to make them, in my opinion at least, more amusing. As a result, when I see copies floating around I can usually date them depending on slight changes in the wording of some of the captions.
Recently (Feb 2008) I even read a comment from someone claiming THIS page was a copy, and someone’s copy was the original! Ah, the Internet.
