Dollar Ride Ideas

[Guest thefranchise]

ummm, well we got the big speech, NO PORN OR ANYTHING EVEN REMOTELY SUGGESTIVE. Stupid, I know, but whatever.

That FC must have voted for the douche Republican banning porn on base...

I got some really great dollars when I was a FAIP. Most of the really cool ones had something to do with the stud (former submariner, guard guys, etc). They made something that was unique. For example, I had an Ensign make me an awesome dollar. He was a former submariner and made a big submarine out of 100 pennies and put that in a picture frame. Below that, he had (dolphins + AF wings = Navy wings)--the actual wings. Very cool idea and a stand up guy. I also had a dude take a Tweet on a stick and pasted dollars over it because I used the sticks non-stop I guess. Very simple, but it was unique and I liked it.

The best one I got was from this A-10 guard chick. Basically, find something between the two of you and ask a girl for ideas. They always have better imaginations than guys (me anyway). Try to make something cool and that will last. Also, if you make it into a picture type dollar, they can hang it up on their 'I love me wall.'

Bottom line, put some time in it.

My flight had a contest for outrageous dollar ride gifts, and I gave my IP a life size cardboard photocopy of myself wearing nothing but my helmet and boots with a giant novelty dollar bill taped to my dick. It was a horrible idea and even though everyone told me to do it (including my flight/CC when I had cold feet) no one actually laughed when i did. I officially stopped giving in to peer pressure after that embarassment, so I suppose I learned a valuable life lesson. Anyway, my advice is don't try to give the fuinniest or coolest gift. Just give him a dollar and a bottle of booze like everyone else in the history of the AF and don't be the one jackass who tries to be funny and fails (like me). Did I mention my IP was an 0-5?

I'll tell you which ones I treasure from when I was a Tweet FAIP...the ones with PORN ALL OVER THE BACK OF THEM.

This isn't a contest where we try to make the most creative art project. This is USAF tradition.

Go to a local winery, get a bottle of their finest, then create a label using a $1 bill with all the applicable information (names, the type/year of the wine, etc).

Val Verde Winery in Del Rio has some good deals.

Don't know if it was a "douche Republican", but I voted for him/her.

I hope that, with all the cool stuff that there is in military aviation, you can find something to put on the dollar, despite the no-porn-on-dollars ban. Good luck.

As a FAIP, I was given a few dollars. At the time, we all got a chuckle from the ones with porn on them. But now, a few years later, it's nice to be able to show my kids the non-porn ones. Sure wish they were all of the variety that I could display on a wall in my I Love Me Room. It's a cool tradition, and it's too bad that I have a bunch of them stashed away somewhere, where they'll probably never get looked at again.

So give your IP something he'll want to show his kids in 20+ years.

Good dollars have PORN. YOu don't have to make it obvious ... sammich it dollar, porn, dollar. Obviously temper that with some knowledge of the IP.

There will be many occasions through your LPA career where the "management" will tell you absolutely no porn/booze/dancing girls/shenanigans/fun/etc. It's up to you to decide when it's only mildly inappropriate (do it) versus a bad idea (do it) versus taboo (do it) versus the beginnings of an international incident (do it). You'll only be an LT once ... enjoy it.

I'll show my kids my PG-13 dollars whenever. They can see the XXX dollars when they're 18. The squadron standards do say no porn However, they always tell us, if we want to do something different than the standards, just brief it. I want porn on my dollars... briefed.

[HuggyU2]

Good dollars have PORN.

Well, great dollars have airplanes, aviation, and jets on them. After all, that's what it's all about. Just ask the bouncer at the local titty bar whether he'd rather be there,... or flying jets.

I always told my studs they couldnt't offend me, but please don't take that as a challenge. Maybe it was my engineer-training-induced education, but I've zero capability for artisitc originality and therefore I tended to appreciate it on those rare occasions it was introduced. My favorite dollar actually has no porn at all. My next favorite dollar was a bottle of 1878 (C17 bubbas know of which I speak) covered in porn. Both hit originality. It's easy to slap a bunch of gapping beav's on a bill, but to do it in a memorable way.... that takes genious. Which I don't have, but I wish you luck.

All my dollars are treasures, every once in a great while I pull them out and admire. Some more so than others. If you take them time to make one, rest assured it will be appreciated.

If someone tells you tape a photo of yourself naked, and you're not a Playmate, for God's sake, please reconsider.

WTFO? Does it have winglets or something?

That'd be interesting. I did get an oragami dollar with winglets once.

It's a German beer, back in the day the fridge at the Frankfurt stage was always well stocked with it. The stud knew I was going to C17s, and he'd been stationed in Germany and somehow could predict the future I guess. That I'd end up drinking it by the case as I was tdy 9 zillion days a year (not a complaint).

It's a German beer...

Correction - It's a great German beer.

Dollars have porn, period.

It's tradition.

It doesn't have to be covered in snatch or un-inspiring ... but there has to be some porn somewhere.

1878 is good, but a good Dunkleweisen is even better!

[sputnik]

1878 is good, but a good Dunkleweisen is even better!

Blasphemy.

And correction to correction, it's the great beer. No need to qualify with national origin.

Speaking of C17s and Frankfurt. I just wrote an OPR for a young fighter guy. Always fun to see changes once it works it's way up chain and back down to me for signature. Tag line had been changed to start with "Pure Platinum!"

A term that never, ever would make it on an official document at Charlston or McChord.
