  2. This thread exists to make fun of them.
  3. 71 years ago when my family was stationed at Fort Brooke in San Juan, Puerto Rico, my brother & I served as altar boys for the Catholic chaplain in the military hospital chapel. Lots of recovering wounded from the Korean War attended the Mass services, some of them pretty bad off but came in wheelchairs and even on gurneys. Lots of emotions were on display from the soldiers - no telling what horrors many of them experienced while serving in that far away combat. My last Midnight Mass serving there was a bit difficult ……..I was very tired and not feeling too good. When the chaplain priest lit my incense burner and I started swinging it back & forth, the smoke overwhelmed me and I fainted. Lol Caused quite a stir. I don’t remember if I recovered enough to finish serving the Mass that night.
  4. You’re old? Sheeeit sonny, lemme tell you about the 1961 TCU Cockroach game where one of those damned frogs kicked Jimmy Saxton in the back of the head when he was getting up after a play. The Horns couldn’t get anything going after that and lost 0-6, costing him the Heisman and the team an undefeated season.

  7. Maybe not so trivial, but goddamned criminals have withdrawn $5,100 from our credit union checking account via an atm machine yesterday. We have NEVER used an atm either. Mrs. Brat just happened to catch the two fake transactions when she logged in to our account this morning. This…..after we just got through last week trying to straighten out a fraudulent series of credit card transactions totaling $7,000+….resulting in new credit cards being mailed this week. Fuck those pinche madre culeros.

  9. You want some silver quarters?
  10. Annoying for sure, but…. Our street’s community mail box has been broken since early February, so we have had to make the 11 mile round trip to the USPS substation once a week. After being informed several times over the past 6 months that a new box was on back order, they told us 2 weeks ago it was finally in, but they were waiting now for someone to install it. Over the past year we know for a fact that at least a couple of important business mailings failed to be sorted out from the junk mail and saved for pickup. Our anxiety was exacerbated since Thanksgiving because we had been advised by an estate executor in Arkansas that she would be mailing a half million dollar estate distribution check to us. Thankfully it arrived safely to our door via registered mail last week.
  11. They’ve been “rebuilt” more than Jerusalem.
  12. A bit of trivia history…. My dad led the US military investigation for the disappearance of a PBY during the Cold War’s 2nd Formosa (Taiwan) Crisis in October, 1958. We were stationed in Taipei at the time and he was part of the US MAAG. The plane carrying 11 Americans and Chinese Nationalists left the Matsu Islands and never made it back to Taiwan. https://www.independent.co.uk/news/world/asia/wreckage-of-missing-plane-found-almost-56-years-after-mystery-disappearance-9469529.html I have a copy of the investigation somewhere in a box that Dad gave me before he passed 23 years ago..
  13. *don’t
  14. 20 years ago a box of this Christmas candy was 89 Cents. This morning at HEB it was $2.97….
  15. Well, it is 140+ miles closer to Phoenix than Austin.
  16. Dunno, but his username is ripe for a pen full of sheep jokes.
  17. Hey, I resemble that.
  18. Checking the payload bay of a BUFF…
