Where did I see that little character before?
Long time no see Mr. Kilroy...
Life is not a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in a pretty and well preserved body, but rather to skid in broadside, thoroughly used up, totally worn out, and loudly proclaiming.... WOW!!! What a Ride!
I'm amazed how many people don't recognize Kilroy. GIs found his tagline all over Europe during WWII but never saw Kilroy himself.Smile. It could be worse. You could be me working for you.
Yeah. "Kilroy was here" was a tag line that followed an entire generation (or two). I never knew quite where that started.
my favorite kilroy was the at the end of 'kelly's heroes'. anybody else remember that one?

The real Kilroy was a dock worker / load master in NJ... IIRC...
It was his way of saying I inspected this load and it's ready to go....

Never heard that particular story. My old man was in the Pacific theatre; he told me about seeing Kilroy doodles in Australia, the Marianas, and Leyte. The story impressed me, so I scribbled a few Kilroys on the blackboards in my high school. After a while, every kid in the school was doing it, it seemed. Teachers were getting test papers with the Kilroy logo drawn on the top; kids held up Kilroy Was Here signs at football games; the doodle was drawn on the outside of the schoolbusses in the dirt; you name it.
Didja know if you scoop the water out of the bottom of a toilet bowl with a plastic cup and then dry it with toilet paper you can write on the porcelain with a grease pencil? And it stays there when you flush to refill it....Dinosaur

To which I am, sadly, obliged to respond, "Haven't noticed any this week...."Dinosaur

Which part of "Non" didn't he understand?
LOL.
Actually started out at 1800.00 for stinkin vacuum cleaner..then as a last ditch effort cash price..850.00..My sides hurt from laughing. You have to see my house to get the jist of the hilarity..when he said it will do windows and I pointed to one..he first did the inside, then was able to reach through a missing pane to do the outside.
I felt sorry for him ...rural Kentucky ain't buyin too many vacuums at a over a grand ..more likly to strap the lazy boy on the truck and drive to a car wash!!!

'Y-a-tu de la justice dans ce maudit monde?
now ya got me trying to remember exactly what it was- either "Up Yours, Baby!" or "Up Yours, <signed> Kilroy". it was drawn on one of the walls of the bank when the army was checking out the place after kelly and the boys had blew town. might have even been during the credit roll. oh well, good excuse for me to find a copy and watch it again...

In the south and west part of the stated on railroad cars you see "The Rambler, Port of Beaumont" on twenty percent of the railroad cars that float around the system.
My favorite Kilroy story? A company I used to work for had their big summer picnic. They really went all out on this party had a face painter and everything. We had an office manager that was a real MILF. Couple of beers and she was loose as a goose. We sent her home with kilroy was here painted in some pretty interesting places. I got sent to Wyoming after that. Who Dares Wins.
'MILF' ??Dinosaur
