''Skippy's List'' proves that [[The Loonie]] can be applied to the military as well as [[Tabletop Games]]. The list consists of things that Skippy--an enlisted man in the US Army's psychological operations department<ref>Read: Drawing propaganda posters in [[The Yugoslav Wars|postwar Bosnia]]</ref>--discovered were forbidden in the US Army, generally [[Noodle Incident|without much context]] as to how he found out (although the blog does provide some explanations). It first came to the Internet back in 2001, lists 213 things Skippy Is No Longer Allowed To Do In The [[Yanks With Tanks|US Army]]. [["Not Making This Up" Disclaimer|As the site explains, everything on the list actually happened]], either as something [[Truth in Television|Skippy himself did]], [[Or So I Heard|something he saw happen]], something he was [[Suspiciously Specific Denial|spontaneously informed he was not allowed to do]], a [[Loophole Abuse|clarification to one of the above]], or "[[It Makes Sense in Context|I was just minding my own business, when something happened]]."
The original list [http://skippyslist.com/list/ can be seen here.] The site also includes other sections with other, smaller lists submitted by "Friends of Skippy".
