Guadalcanal – The Marines at Edson’s Ridge
It’s Friday and it’s raining polar bears outside my window, and we’re all a little bit bored. I found this while looking through old revived WWII film: another film from the archives. This is about Guadalcanal, and the battle for Edson’s Ridge. 800 Marines beat 2,500 Japanese soldiers. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=74rqIWy6kkA
Fireworks For Your Enjoyment
The video below is a fireworks display by the “silent majority” in Los Angeles, since the regular fireworks weren’t going to go on. Los Angeles TV news team went up in a helicopter to get this video. It’s a nice one, as is the music that accompanies it. I did not forget to post this […]

He can now claim a successful launch of a hypersonic missile (a/k/a a glide vehicle, per the story) as his ultimate answer to the […]

The first, because I love bacon, is bacon mac and cheese. You will need the following: 2 cups of cooked short […]
Christmas ideas.
Every year I go through this struggle about what to get the Soviet for Christmas. The constant harangue of Christmas spirit around the compound grows to a crescendo of excitement until Santa leaves a present of some sort, mangled in wrapping paper, under the damn tree. I can not be the only one that suffers through this holiday […]
Mayonnaise … mayonnaise … mayonnaise
Yesterday I was searching about the Interwebnet thingy for some festive tune to post. I must have started singing one of the songs as I went about my day. I called TSO to chat about high priority super secret stuff but it turned out I just mostly listened to children torturing the man. I no […]
Veterans Day Is Not Memorial Day
There seems to be some confusion in the public about Memorial Day and Veterans Day. This should clear things up. They are observed in different months (May vs. November) and one is a federal holiday, which means government offices are closed, while the other is not.
