Ranger Squad added two new combatants in the 2012 January transfer window.  Both acquired as free transfers, RS added thecircusbOy and LostPawn.

Despite persistent rumors that LoveOfProfit would be lured back to his native lands and join Wisła Kraków, insider sources reveal that negotiations never got passed the informal enquiry phase.

Overall the transfer window will be remembered as tame, perhaps due to the new Fair Play rules curtailing unbridled transfer spending.

How these new transfers will translate to success in the remaining ’11/’12 BF3 season remains to be sign. But, predictions run from insanely successfully to ridiculously successful.  Surely.

You’re a winner!!  (except for chillybilly).

After dominating and going undefeated in the regular season — poor chillybilly lost in the first round of the playoffs.   SkillaPlaya (sarg)  takes first and Bad Touch Down (non-RS player) takes second.

Happy December time to everyone!

Happy American USA-is-best Thanksgiving to all our American friends.  To all our non-American friends, Hi.

It’s hard to believe that this is the ninth Thanksgiving Ranger Squad is seeing.  So thanks to everyone that’s been hanging around, floating in and out, or have to arrive.  I have no idea why any of us continue to hang out here :)

As Confucius once said, “Any man, regardless of background, creed or abilities, can teach you at least ten things.  But taming Shandong ain’t one of them.”

And if you really think about, that’s what Ranger Squad is all about.  Dong references.

And Battlefield 3 is finally upon us…  so far so good.  Most people here seem to be bypassing COD:MW3 which comes out in a couple weeks as well.

In Ranger Squad Fantasy Football news: this seems to be chillybilly’s year.  Not only is he running the table so far at 7-0, but he’s also outscoring the next closest team by 200 points…

As the world’s only Two Time Ranger Squad Fantasy Football Champion I know the ins and out of winning.  Yet, no one tastes the sweet fruits of victory without having the smooshy poo of having ate too much fruit losses.

I’m a bit reflective because despite being the world’s only Two Time Ranger Squad Fantasy Football Champion I stand here before you with a 0-3 start in this year’s competition.

But, as Clare Ansberry once wrote, “Gardens and flowers have a way of bringing people together, drawing them from their homes.”

For you see, Fantasy Football are the gardens and Battlefield 3 are the flowers, Rom is the bringing part and I think chilly is the drawing thing and LoveOfProfit is represented by the homes.

May was a historic month in the world.  Usually when people think of May their thoughts turn to May 16th’s celebrations and festivities.  What will they wear?  Who will they ask out?  How many of them will come to life when you add water.  Yes, National Sea Monkey Day has a long and rich tradition.  Although it is sad that such a great day may somehow be overshadowed by May 2nd, the day Obsama was killed, one can’t help but wonder if the world is better off.  Sure, the terrorism threat is diminished.  But, at what cost?  Who will remember Nation Sea Monkey Day now in May?

Somehow I think we’ll be ok.

Also a good moment to remember that Ranger Squad still have some folks on active duty — good luck, thanks and be safe!
