Great idea, until they go off and start falling down. Then your walls are covered in sticky smelly goo...

I can never remember them for longer than 3 hours. I believe this (http://www.ee.pdx.edu/~sheaj/icao.html) site is correct, but I'm not sure, as I lost the original list I had that my father gave me.

Unfortunetly this is a poor idea, despite the fact that you would doubtless use the patterned Apple&Berry roll-up and it would be a pleasing pattern esthetically. They are a food product (it would be stretching things a bit much to call them food, so let's stick to "food product") and contain an obscene ammount of sugar. If I recall the ingredients correctly, there is fruit (mostly sugars) as the most common ingredient followed by maltodextrin (a sugar) and sucrose (sugar) making up some 98%+ of the roll-up, or something on the order of 80 grams of sugars for every 100 grams of roll-up. Effectively you would be covering you walls in sugar, which would attract insects. Pity though, as they do come in that nifty pattern.

oh and I learned M=Mike but it may have changed in the past few dozen years.

Ahhhh, yes! Good old Mike! How could I have forgotten him??? Yes, I think some of them have changed, but that list should be good for years from 1966 through 2001 ( except for dear old Mike! ). :D

I don't know what those are, but make sure you collect enough to finish the wall before you start if you want to make sure you'll finish.




Also it's called the phonetic alphabet and,

M = Mike, and

Q = Quebec,

...in the US Army in 2001 anyway

Damn! Missed another one! You're correct, of course. Sigh. Well, considering I've not had to use the damned things since I was in 'Nam ...! :cool:

If you get a really hot and humid day they might go all sticky, and when you walked into the room, you'd be covered in purple sticky roll-up juice that has been absorbed into the air.

But you could lick yourself clean and it would taste like a semi-edible glucose product.

Too many hispanics were confusing him with Juliette, so they just kicked him right out of the alphabet.
