Valentine’s Day/Weekend Open thread
Sparks wants a place to give you all some candy and flowers, so here you go for a slow news afternoon;
The Washington Times says that background checks don’t stop many firearms purchases. Well, yeah, because why would a criminal who knows he can’t buy a gun bother going through background checks?
The Washington Post reports that the Obama Administration will allow banks to do business with pot sellers.
Shotgun Joe Bite Me says that there is no longer a Republican Party. But, then, he’s been wrong on every other issue since the beginning of time.
The FAA blocked your flower deliveries by drone, says Fox News.
Pinto Nag sends a link to NBC News which reports that 70 people were murdered by thugs with machetes in the Congo.
ohio sends a link from the Daily Mail reporting the death of Ralph Waite, of The Waltons fame, who was also a Marine after WWII.
Ex-PH2 celebrates the NBC News link regarding pizza coming to MREs.
And finally, someone sent us a picture of Kenneth Boyle in an OIF cap – you know anther one of those wars he didn’t go to;

Yahooo!!! Happy Valentine’s Day with candy and flowers to all of you ladies out there…and to the rest of you…dickweeds as well! 😀
Why is it that Girl Scouts start selling crack, um I mean cookies about the same time every years that I say to hell with my news years resolution of loosing a few pounds?
Enigma, don’t you know – Girl Scouts work for the NSA and are keeping tabs on you. Those cookies are bugged! You need to immediately wash them all down with milk.
Bugged cookies, I saw them in “Despicable Me”, so it must be true…
Boyle is wearing an OIF hat to honor someone. I’m going to start wearing a DSC to honor my best buddy ever (RIP). (He was awarded it for VN action.
To all you men, I am neither a sexist nor chauvinist, but I just cannot bring myself to apply the term “dickweed” to the ladies in the audience. My momma would turn in her grave. My daddy would rise from his, get out his old WWII Sam Brown Belt and take me to my room…again.
I nominate Clamsgotlegs for best new screen name, and when she said she was a girl, pricless
If any Girl Scouts show up around here. Tell ’em the Brownwolf wants to place an order of Thin Mints and Caramel deLites minus the listening and recording devices.
@5 SJ Maybe I’ll snag me a Legion Of Merit to wear around my neck to honor…I don’t know…somebody who earned one I guess. (I’ll have to Google Legion Of Merit to find a recipient.) Well, you know, since it is all the fashion rage these days. Why not? I mean EVERYONE is doing it.
Even the kid I saw in the mall rockin’ the Marine dress blue blouse with Gunnery Sergeant stripes, blue jeans with holes in the knees, hanging to his butt, red colored stripes in his hair and Doc Martin boots. First thing I thought was, “your parents never served” next thought was, “your parents are dicks” and if he had been more than about 16 years old I would have taken him to task. But in this day and age, I would have ended up with a mug shot as a registered child offender or some such.
I love the 1st Amendment as much as any true American, sometimes though, this freedom of expression kinda gets out of hand if you know what I mean. Sometimes, it’s just plain…insulting.
@7 Enigma4you. Here-here. Best screen name and I STILL get red faced embarrassed, every time I think about that little discourse. 😀
@8 Brownwolf, The plain old short bread cookies are the BEST for scarfing and dunking in milk. Bar none. IMHO
Me walking out of the Grocery store,
Girl Scout, Mr. Would you like to buy some cookies,
Me, Awe Im sorry honey, all I have is my credit card, (Im southern Honey is part my upbinging)
Girl Scout, We take credit cards,
Me well hell yea, who Ill take 3 of those, 5 of them, 9 of that, my son loves these so I need a case.
True story I spent slightly less than the cost of a new AR on cookies today
Made the girls day, And as I pushed my buggy full of cookies to the truck Im thinking to myself yep, your 6’4 270 pounds, make grown men cry weekly and I just got had by a 11 yo who knew how to clean me out like a river boat gambler.
I read that thread twice, It was Epic,cant wait for the movie. Tall Blonde
I would love to Wish a Special Valentines to William Derek Church and Kiaya Louise Beheler Church.
You too silly gooses! I’m sure your 3 month old marriage is as solid as a rock! The last month has probably been the best for you! So much press and I am sure you are so proud of your choices!
Oh what a joy it must have been for Kiaya to find her match. Her “Ranger” and true American Warrior.
This must be a dream to you 2 obese lovers.
Have fun fine dining at the Darby Queen and getting fatter. Both of you.
I’ll go and look for a Count Dracula Medallion for the weekend and scarf me some Girl Scout cookies.
I almost forgot to add, regarding Kenneth John Boyles and his images. Every time I see his images, I am reminded of my old drill sergeants from basic saying to some new buck private “WIPE THAT COCKSUCKING GRIN OFF YOUR FACE PRIVATE!!!”
Army Medical: you see the Street View of Casa Church. What a lovely love nest.
@12 Enigma4you…You’re a good guy for helping the Girl Scouts but man did they see you coming or what! 😀
By the way being raised in North Carolina and a proud Tarheel, I learned as a little boy, from listening to the older ladies in the family that if you are going to insult or gossip about someone, you always preface or end it with “Bless His/Her/Their Heart”. As in “She just can’t do a thing with that hair of hers…Bless Her Heart!”. I guess it is suppose to take the sting out of just outright, slamming one of your friends with a good dig and poke to the eye. 😀 And…”that’s what I like about the South”.
All of you, just step away from the Thin Mints. Those are mine! Mine, I tell you! Mine!
You eat them with hot tea with milk in it while reading a really good Regency period romance novel by Georgette Heyer… one with manly men who fight with swords.
Big wet kisses to all my dickweed friends at TAH!
I would like to state my affections for Commander Phil Monkress and his supporters at All Points Logistics!
@7.
“Toastie Coastie” must be in the mix.
I heard “The Poor Thing” Allot.
You know that girl is as ugly as a tub full of smashed asshole, the poor thing.
Or well you KNOW who her Momma is, the poor thing, she just dont know better.
*Slips by leaving a pile of Girl Scout Thin mints for Ex-PH2….
Chipotle Popcorn for Proud Infidel and a few cases of beer for the rest of you*
Sorry Willie Sparkle Pony Church and Frolicking Stinkweed Ostrich Wife Kiaya Church
CVS no longer carry cigarettes and unfortunately they were all out of twinkies and ho ho’s so you are shit out of piss luck…
*Disappointed Lemur Face with solitary tear dripping down to chin*…
But I hear KFC has heart shaped bisquits..maybe you can share a pile of those…
Happy V-D to all!
I saw Green Thumb come in and for a moment, I held my breath, and thought he was going to call us all TURDS for posting here on Valentine’s Day! :-p
Serious question for you more savvy TAH posters. When you post in bold, italics, font change, etc. do you use another app then copy, paste? Or is there a way in the thread to do it I have yet to find?
Beware, once I learn how, some of my posts may look like ransom notes. 😀
OK for real for a second,
The GW Bush Battle Group Deploys tomorrow for 10 months. My Son who is with HSM 70 on the USS Philippine Sea is part of that group. He along with the Close to 6000 other Sailors and Marines will be in the Red Sea and Others areas as needed.
Now as his Dad I am as proud as I can be of him and his life choices. I would Trade places with him in a second. But it also scares the crap out of me as Im sure it has been for the Parents of Every young man that has gone to sea.
Just wanted to vent a little
Green Thumb….why does Phildo get to be a Commander?
Having been both a PO2 and a Commander, I hate to have both my highest ranks sullied by that buffoon. Can’t we just refer to him with a fictitious rank worthy of his fictitious back story?
@26 Enigma4you
Prayers to you and for your son and his unit for a safe deployment..Fair winds and following seas…
*AHEM!* AM, TC, and all who wish tha Beached Whales (*OOPS!* that’s William Derek Church the roly-poly Round Ranger and his pet Dependopottamus he married) a Happy Valentine’s Day, let me join you in doing so! I also want to add that I’m sure that Lardamus maximus the Fake has been using his Food Stamps at every corner store he can find in order to get 99cents change as often as he can and using that to treat her/it to a nice bottle of Ripple Blanc to complement the nice box of flavored wine he found on sale as well as their FAVORITE side dish/hors d’ouerve, potted meat food product on saltines from the local Dollar Store!!
@25
Use angle brackes in place of square brackets illustrated:
Bold: [b]Bold[/b]
Italics: [i]Italics[/i]
Hope this note helps.
–ghp
Oops … by “angle brackets” I mean .
–ghp
@30 You da man, Thanks ghp95134!
doggone it … the angle brackets didn’t show. The angle brackets look like mark-up code to the software.
Anyway, the tiny brackets you get when you shift + and shift + .
–ghp
For the Tubbypotamouses William and Kiaya Church…

Enjoy!
RATS!
That should be shift + ,
(shift + comma); (shift + period)
Crud! I wish this blog had a preview page!

@26 Enigma4you Being real for far more than a second. I will keep your son and all with him my prayers for God’s safety, peace and a good cruise. I don’t need know his name even, God does. I know you are a proud papa…and a worried one. Thank your son for his service from an old veteran.
Well don’t want Danny Boi to feel left out..so..
And, you can add them together to get bold + italic
[b][i]bold italic[/b][/i]
Not certain about underline…. let’s try:
[b][i][u]bold italic[/b][/i][/u]
If it doesn’t work, …. I quit.

Yay!! I love an open thread. I would like to clear up something that I was told it’s not a big deal but since we’re all about full disclosure here…
I guess when I was talking about my Dad’s surgery I must have said he was in the Navy and he was not he was Air Force. My only excuse was little sleep and I had just read 1,000 comments about or from people in the Navy. I didn’t even realize I had done it until the other day I was called a Navy brat. I’m so very sorry for the mis-information and you guys have no idea how sweet those words were to me. So thank you once again for the kind thoughts and prayers for my Dad and thank you even more for the “brat” comments, you have no idea how much both meant to me.
Also if there is any Masons here I would like to know if it’s ok for someone not a member to wear a Masonic ring or is that seen as something close to wearing a Soldier’s medal? My birth father left his to me (it’s my Step-Dad that had the surgery but he’s been my dad and I’ve called him Dad since I was 14) He told me to wear it if I ever needed something, at the time I thought of it like a Bat-symbol. But recently I’ve started wondering if it was ok to wear or would it upset someone who’s a member. My brother and I was talking about it the other day and he said if I wasn’t going to wear it to give it to him, but I’m a girl and jewelry = shiny to me so I just wanted to make sure before I get a guard for it. It’s a beautiful huge ruby set in gold with the Masonic “G” on the stone, if the look or style matter.
Oh and now that I’ve seen this word here (Dependopottamus) I’m seeing it in other websites that aren’t really about Military. I died laughing and had to comment on the use of it. Great words travel fast I guess. haha!

My wife just showed me the sexy Victorian Secrets garb she bought for tonight. I reminded her the Olympics were on tonight and she swiftly back handed my balls sack with a snap.
So tonight … Monkey sex with swollen testicles!
