  1. Those that can, do. Those that can't, teach. Those that can't and can't teach, bitch. It's the way of the world.
  2. I always assumed that the machine was a printer. The things you learn... My wife and I spent Thanksgiving with our son and daughter-in-law. We see eye to eye on politics and most everything else, so it was a nice, pleasant weekend. My side of the family has its Christmas get-together in two weeks. That has much more potential for conflict, but we usually leave the politics behind and just concentrate on loving each other, so I think that it will be unrealized potential. I hope so, anyway.
  3. Every year my wife asks me to read this aloud to kick off our Christmas season. The Reading happened tonight. This week I'll put up the lights and the yard display, then move inside to make it look like Christmas vomited all over the living room and den. Happy Holidays you glorious bastards.
  4. Hiring Elko is a splash: a cannonball into the kiddie pool splash, but that's technically still a splash.
  5. Another aspect to consider is the Darwinian selection process of war. Statistically, if you can survive your first five or so engagements, your odds of overall survival increase greatly. As you gain experience, you take fewer chances and do fewer stupid things as you learn the ropes. The newbs always die at higher rates. Combat, of any sort, punishes stupidity and mistakes in the most brutal way possible, so you don't get many chances to make mistakes. That is so for even the best trained, led, and motivated militaries. We are seeing how disastrous that is in a poorly led, poorly trained army with low morale.
  6. I was two, living the toddler life in Corpus Christi. I have no recollection of it. Now MLK and RFK, I remember those, and my dad explaining that part of the country was insane. I was seven, but I remember 1968 as a fucked up time.
  7. That's what I figured. Curses, foiled again!
  8. "If it ain't his shit, you must acquit."
  9. Shit, were you in my office the last month before I retired? That is an outstanding analogy.
  10. Hahaha. He's fixing to die, and he don't even know it.
  11. Mr. Mountain Lion invited Mr. Deer over to meet the guys for dinner. Mr. Deer is fixing to learn his last lesson.
  12. Not giving the defense time to rest, low time of possession, not enough rushing yards.
  13. I, to, am a fan of our version of Sideshow Bob.
  14. Mississippi Goddam.
  15. Those are AN-2 Colts. They are very versatile, fuel efficient, maneuverable at low speed, and easy to fly. They are used for liaison flights, light transport, and flying officers around. The type has been in service since the late '40s.
  16. Damn. First Rufus, now De Nomolos. Bogus!
  17. Pretty bold of her to think that they have electricity and properly configured outlets.
  18. Or open a strip club called Watch My Hoochie.
  19. Watch the 1969 Arkansas game, then discuss this with Coach Royal.
  20. Last night I made a pot of well seasoned, delicious pinto beans for supper. Today comes the reekoning.
  21. Hey, dumbfuck! Did you miss the fact that at least one Navy vessel was completely out of action for weeks, and others had greatly decreased readiness due to Covid running amok in their crews? I also read that some Air Force, Army, and Marine units experienced decreased readiness due to Covid, including delays in scheduled deployments. No, it didn't kill a lot of fit, young service people, but it fucked up their ability to do their damned jobs. Dumbfucks like you are why I get called Jarhead and accused of eating crayons.
  22. That's a decapitation waiting to happen.
  23. Folks don't realize how challenging ejector pumps, or any pump for that matter, can be. Especially when they are installed in a space like that one. Thank you for understanding the challenge the plumber faced.
