Doesn't letting the public know the current President's code-name defeat the purpose of having a code-name?

You can't decrypt their radio communications in time for them to be worth anything.

A completely uncharacteristic "good question/valid answer" for Fark. Good jorb folks.

That's assuming that is the only way someone could overhear their communications - and if it were, again, there'd be no point to having the code-name...other than the fact that they're usually pretty cool.

Tradition is held in very high regard by military types.

"Smurfette"...Lol.

ALGORE

Wow... we haven't had a Secret Service code name greenlight in at least 10 weeks.
I was so eagerly awaiting yet another one with the same info as before.

Ah, Lancer. Prancer's horny older brother.

What about Mr. Brown?.

Thank God Time didn't try to fit all that information on one page. It would have clogged the internet tubes.

There are 'official' codenames and 'unofficial' codenames depending on who's talking to who..

And, come on, naming one of Obamas kids Rosebud?!

I'm not a fan of Obama, but Renegade is a pretty cool code name.

So...the Pope is MASTER CHIEF?????? This makes Catholicism so much more tangible and awesome now!!!!

/grabs battle rifle and off to mass

Lancer? I hardly know her!

"Why do I gotta be Mr. Pink?"

I don't care enough about those names to go through 10 pages.

The jig is up, the news is out
They finally found me
The renegade who had it made

Never more to go astray

Don't call me Radio!
Ok, Radio

No mention of Karl Rove's code name...

/sad

Top secret fail?

Not only that, it's literally the same link again. Unless nobody has informed Time that Obama is no longer "President-Elect".

Mine is "Hey, you, yeah YOU! ASSHOLE! GET OVER HERE NOW!"

You are assuming the code name has any real value even if the enemy knew it. Its simply tradition and nothing more.

Seconded. I'd rather allow the thread to devolve into Farkers' CB handles of the past.

Vader?

They should've called him Mister Tibbs.

Obama's SS code name should be TELEPROMPTER OMGSOFUNNYLULZ!!!1one!

/cause you know they're thinking it

There was no Camelot "theme" to Kennedy's administration. The whole Camelot shiat didn't appear until after his assassination.

"Gilligan's Down! Gilligan's Down!"

Somewhat obscure for Fark, but not to jungalists worldwide.

LOCKBOX.

I always think of this scene from The West Wing when I hear about Secret Service code names.

C.J.: What's your secret service code name?
Sam: They just changed it.
C.J.: I know. What's yours?
Sam: Princeton.
C.J.: Mine's "Flamingo".
Sam: That's nice.
C.J.: No, it's not nice.
Sam: Flamingo's a nice-looking bird.
C.J.: A flamingo is a ridiculous-looking bird.
Sam: You're not ridiculous-looking.
C.J.: I know I'm not ridiculous-looking.
Sam: Any way for me to get out of this conversation?

Whatever brand of cigarettes Obama smoke, the should go with that:

Marlboro Man
Joe Camel
Lucky
Newport
Etc.

Boo slideshow... YAY interesting topic!

/Mine would be "Bighairynutsandmyasslookslikeanoldcatchersmit."

When I become president I want my code name to be "Pee Pants".

That entire conversation took three seconds and they were walking quickly down a hall while having it.

I bet unbeknownst to them, there was an alternate code name something like, "That Stupid Guy."

El Diablo. It's Spanish for, like, a fighting chicken.

Podna: The Smoking Man,

He he he. BTW, nice tinfoil hat, is that Reynolds Wrap?

President Grover Cleveland had a few options when selecting his code name. He ultimately selected "Steamer" as his handle.

Dick Cheney's nickname was Angler.
