Ok, I was looking at the blam and protect ranks and I found Praporshchik, I thought it sounded funny and I couldent figure out what it was. I thought it was just some prank by tom or something, so I looked it up in wikipedia and here it is:
Praporshchik (Russian: %u043F%u0440%u0430%u0301%u043F%u043E%u 0440%u0449%u0438%u043A, pronounced [%u02C8prap%u0259r%u0255%u026Ak]) was originally a name of a junior officer position in the military of the Russian Empire, equivalent to ensign.
It was first introduced in Strelets New Regiments. The name originates from Slavonic prapor (%u043F%u0440%u0430%u043F%u043E%u0440)
, meaning flag; the praporshchik was a flag-bearer in Kievan Rus troops. In the New Regiments of the Streltsy and the new army of Peter the Great, praporshchik was ranked as commissioned officer of the lowest grade; this was legalised by the Table of Ranks of 1722. By 1800s the rank was given to senior non-commissioned officers of the Russian army upon their retirement and also reserve/volunteer officers with no previous service; commissioned officers started service with Sub-Poruchik.
Confusingly, podpraporshchik (Sub-Praporshchik) was one of the non-commissioned ranks, originally below the Sergeant and Feldwebel but since 1826 it became the highest non-commissioned rank of the infantry, cavalry and the Leib Guard. In 1884, the podpraporshchik rank was renamed %u0437%u0430%u0443%u0440%u044F%u0434-%
u043F%u0440%u0430%u043F%u043E%u0440%u0 449%u0438%u043A (Ordinary Praporshchik).
In the Soviet Army, the reintroduction of Praporshchik rank in 1972, along with Midshipman rank in the Soviet Navy, marked the attempt to recreate a corps of contract non-commissioned officers similar to Master Sergeants and Chief Petty Officers, the role that was previously reserved to senior drafted personnel. Contrary to Western practice of assigning the senior Sergeant ranks to veteran soldiers, the Soviet ranks of Starshina and Sergeant were routinely assigned to 20 year old soldiers at the end of their 2-year draft. The Praporshchiks were aged volunteers and were expected to have more authority over draftsmen than similarly aged Sergeants; they are placed in a separate category of Master non-commissioned officers (Praporshchiks and Midshipmen).
The Praporshchik rank continues to be used in the Russian Army and armies of ex-USSR states.

I found this really funny game on b.net, its called beat the crap out of the retard. Its were theres you and other people that gotta survive waves of enemy's, but every wave one of you is to be elected retard. Then every one else has to kill that retard within the time limit, if the retard survives then he gets exp and some gold for items and keeps playing. But if he dies, he then loses his person but gets to choose a retarded one. Then he has to train and come back and fight the non-retards that are still playing. Its very fun but gets boring once the non-retards start getting the really strong items. Also If you wanna hear about other cool games that I found then tell me cause I like talking about them.

I've been playing it just for a couple days and now I'm hooked. Its very cool, I just finished my land animal exhibits and soon I'm a start on the water animals, then I'm a move onto the dinosaurs. I like getting the T-Rex and letting him go and blocking the exit so he can eat every one. But I'm taking longer than I normally do to finish it because I'm taking the time to decorate it and making it look cool, so it will be a while before I get a T-Rex. I also have School Tycoon witch sucks ass cause the people that you hire to clean the school and stuff don't even work right. Also Roller Coaster Tycoon 3 is awesome, but it doesn't have animals, but it does have crazy roller coasters that you can ride, and its also got awesome graphics.

Its finally summer! I love summer... stay up all night... play games till you crash... go over to friends houses all the time... all the good stuff!! Actually my summer didint start off very good, theres like some empty feeling in me... I will also miss my friends, but I its only for 3 months so its all good.

Im now gonna start putting "Edit:" were ever I edit.. well... thats it... OH YEA, I remember now... Im also gonna try to put pictures on all my posts...

Also if your reading this, do any of you have the game Guild Wars? I used to have it but I lost it and ima buy it again, so if you do, then pm me your name and maby we can find each other in the game and fight monsters, do quests, and crap.
Edit: The trip is canceled *crys*. Well... at least were going to the pool...

I'm sad to see that when a great game like The Last Stand becomes so famous that people don't even notice when the author makes a second one thats 2 times better. Damn it, there was another good game like The Last Stand that has a new version, but I cant remember the name, its a Starcraft game but you gotta fight off terrain guys. Theres a updated version of it and its way better, I'm sure ill remember it later and post it on here, but its also in my favorites along with The Last Stand 2.
Edit:
Yay!! I remembered what game it was, StarCraft FA 5 SE2008
