  1. You could look up Kyo & Deiko, our former live-in house maids from 1958.
  2. An online friend in California posted this very touching story yesterday….
  3. Looks like Random Sample has been mixing some sheep shit in his bud blunts.
  4. Well, to be fair it didn’t say exactly where those three would win their championships.
  5. I don’t know, as I was only 1 year old when he brought it home from France.
  6. Full auto when dad brought it home, but Grandpa used some brass to plug the breech which made it a legal DEWAT (Deactivated War Trophy). We had an “approval” letter from the FBI stating such.
  7. Just a random pic on the Internet, but probably faked. https://wwiijeepparts.com/Archives/WW2JeepsInCrates.html
  8. We had no idea if they would display it or not - it had no history with the Texas 36th Division. But neither of us really wanted to keep it.
  9. B-B-B-But Jimbo was a sitting national championship coach! Or so we heard for several years.
  10. Some assembly required……
  11. They got hookers in the retirement home? Asking for a friend.

    Getting old sucks

  13. Nope…… My brother donated it to the Camp Mabry Military Museum in Austin about 25 years ago. We checked on it about 10 years ago and their computer records said it was still stored in their vault. As far as we know it has never been put on display in any of the exhibits.
  14. In the mid-1950s when we were stationed in St. Louis, I “played Army” with a real BAR - it was a “bringback” from France by my dad in 1945. It was a Belgian FN licensed copy of the Browning, but with a few modifications like the pistol grip and in 7.9mm. We guess it was captured bythe Germans when they overran the Low Countries early in WW2, then recaptured by our GIs in ‘45. Looked just like this one below. It was pretty heavy lugging it around the woods behind our house, but nobody in the neighborhood gave it, or me, a second look.
