Weekend Open Thread
This weekend’s open thread is brought to you by Instinct’s newest addition to his family – cute little Samantha Marie [Instinct]. He wanted me to share the picture with you – he’s pretty pumped about her arrival.
It’s been an exciting week behind the scenes at TAH, I’m hoping that I can tell you about it all later, but trust me, it’s all good news. You should just act excited now. But, I’m beat, so enjoy yourself. I’ll be back in a little while after I take a nap. That’s probably what Samantha is doing right now, too.
Category: Open thread
Hallelujah!
Not even funny OldSoldeir54….. We out here on da west cost were fist last week Lol… 🙂
That is my normal situation, also. Now back in Virginia helping baby sister prep house for sale – and voila! Eastern time …
🙂
Nice… was back their on Christmas to visit the wifeys family… Road trip to and then back to Az… Great time. One of these days we will make a summer trip there in summer Lots of trees Lol…
Healthy, happy, and cute; God was generous. Again, congrats.
But I think that also means you’re up sh!t creek in about 14 years, Instinct. (smile)
Yeah, I know. She has an older sister who is all blonde curls and blue eyes so I have double trouble on the way.
It’s because they both look like mom. If they looked like me I wouldn’t have a thing to worry about.
Thankfully I have 1,000 round of 12 gauge, 1,500 of .223, and about 1000 of 9mm and .45.
You’re going to need all that ammo and more. I used to be better looking than Brad Pitt; then I had teenage daughters. I’m now a shell of my former self.
Well, I’ve always had a face that was made for radio so maybe this will help. 😀
Instinct, a friend of mine insisted that his daughter’s dates ALWAYS came into the house to pick her up. And he was ALWAYS cleaning one of many firearms when they did.
Just sayin’….
Congrats.
OC
Sounds like he was a member of DADD, Dads Against Daughters Dating. 😀
Figure I’ll do that and then show the young man photos of her Grandpa and Uncles.
Grandpa was UDT in Korea and then a cop. Uncles are police – one SWAT sniper, one on Gangs and now a Lt.
Remember Instinct, for the daughters, there are very few problems encountered in child rearing or dog training that can’t be solved by the creative use of Duct Tape. 😉

😀
My dad-in-law tried that with me. We ended up having to go to a later showing because I helped him tighten the trigger assembly of his 1911A1. I realized it was loose after he asked me to field strip it. He even tried to catch me on safety protocols because it was cocked, not on safe, and there was a blank round in the chamber.
See, that’s what proved you were a keeper. Good job!
Daddy really liked him, I picked a keeper. And yes, my father was a card carrying member of DADD. Daddy taught me well ^_^ God rest his soul.
Shovel and lots of heavily wooded land.
Boys call me, “Sir.” If they don’t, there’s no second date.
You sound like some of the people I know that follow “The Three S’s”, Shoot, Shovel. and SHUT UP!! 😀
Blades man. Not slug slingers.
Blades.
Silent. Lethal. Hidden. ALWAYS needing sharpened. I can see the discussion now…
“where’s yer dad?”
“He’s in his office wiping down his Kukri and sharpening them.”
“what’s a kukri?”
“oh, he’ll show you later… I’m sure”
Actually, I have two of those. They keep a real nice edge.
I’ve got two daughters, and have found that shock prods work well on the boys until around 13. After that the little buggers start to move faster and it’s best to switch to a taser.
Have two girls my self. Just repeate after me: your going to need lots of range time……;)
I’ve always said, if I could do it all over again I’d have six daughters. That way their beaux and suitors could form a hockey team and beat up each other. There’s probably a limit on how many boyfriends one may thump before the authorities get involved.
When my daughter starts dating I’m not going to do the typical cleaning my guns thing. I’m going to have a shelf with four or fine spent 12 gauge shells with boys names written on them. When her date shows up I’m going to look him in the eye and ask him his name. When he tells me I’m going to write his name on a new shell and then make sure he sees me put it on the shelf.
Instinct.. Congrats Dad !!!!
I Have my 12 already waiting just in case. Our daughter is 2 1/2 and mama bear has a Bun in the oven.. Boy do they grow quick…
I used to clean firearms while talking(RULES) to my Draughter’s dates. The most impressive was to be sharpening a large knife on a wetstone. Something about the sound of the knife drawn over the stone that held the Boy’s attention. Joe
Awwwww…. too cute for words.
Good name choices, too, daddy.
Congratulations.
Thank you 😀
When our son was born and I was filling out paperwork I asked the desk nurse what their return policy was. She didn’t appreciate my sense of humor.
Think I’ll go ahead and keep this one.
Like I remember my Momma said, “She’s cuter than a bug’s ear!”
Lovely little girl!
Had three girls in four years… no one asks me why I drink. Thank God they are all married and out of the house…so I can spoil the grandkids!
She looks a bit like my little baby girl did at the age of five minutes. Very cute! Congrats to the Instinct family!
Thanks Whitey!
Jonn, you and MCPO are masters at the art of teasing. Now we will all sit at our monitors hitting refresh and get nothing else done. I know I will! 🙂 But I’ll take a nap now too.
Congrats Parent Instincts!
Thanks, SJ!!
Nap sounds good, but there are dad things to do and miles to go before I rest. 🙂
Congrats on the new addition to the family… Love her and cherish her, the next 18 years will go by fast for you and the misses.
I know. Our oldest is four and I just look and go “Wasn’t I giving you a bottle last week???”
That should be ‘Parents Instinct,’ shouldn’t it? You know, like ‘Sergeants Major’?
*scurries for cover*
**tosses Nag a shield that suspiciously says “front toward enemy” on the back**
Here Instinct, have a ceremonial detonator.
LOL
Damn, dude…I wasn’t THAT big of a turd!
*sniff sniff*
It’s okay. I replaced the ball bearings with confetti. So, it will be a festive blast!
Congrats on the newest addition to the TAH family !!!
Nice to see some good news here.
Beautiful baby Jonn.
I’ll get my nap later !!!
Thank you. Samantha is a joy! She’s been doing lots of sleeping and eating and not much else, which is as it should be. They are almost ready to kick us out and let us go home!
Eat, sleep, poop is pretty much all they do this early in life. You have a lot of sleepless nights ahead of you, but I’m pretty sure you wouldn’t trade it for the world.
You are absolutely right, Twist
remember, you spend the first two years teaching them to walk and talk… and the next 20 telling them to sit down and be quiet.
I had a job interview with the Ft Wainwright range control this week. Hopefully I get the job. I haven’t been retired that long but I already miss training and working with Soldiers.
Cool!!! Good luck!
What Instinct said.
Good luck Twist, hope you land the job!
Same here. Good Luck. Hope the new job comes through.
I was stationed at Ft Wainwright.
I still have my Ft. Wainwright Library card.
1974-76.
Sucked back then, especially since I was Infantry.
Cold as hell and lousy cold weather equipment back then. It was right after Vietnam so pretty much the Army spent all their money on jungle stuff instead of cold weather things.
Since it’s the weekend open thread I have something cool to share with all the rest of the “gun nuts” here on TAH.
This documentary from Remington Arms circa the early 60’s is really cool.
It’s about a half hour long and is great to watch.
Ever since I got the Google Chromecast I have been watching all kinds of documentaries on Youtube. There are hundreds of thousands of them too!
Congratulations with the new addition to the family. I’ll get my nap when I get on the plane shortly. The VA is sending me down to Anchorage for the second time in a week and a half for my disability claim. It’s a waste of money since there is a VA clinic 10 miles from my house.
My prostate cancer Doc was the head of the Prostate Research Center at Walter Reed. He is world renown. He did the surgeries on Colin Powell, Norman Schwartzcoff, Bob Dole, Ted Stevens, to name a few.
VA wouldn’t take his paperwork and made me go to a Quack in a Box at a run down flea bag strip mall.
Well, here are some of the things that I can share;
Deon Korfhage was arraigned yesterday in Atlanta on charges that he had violent sex with an underage girl in Florida and that he had some connections to an alien smuggling ring in Colorado. He told the judge that he was a retired Army Ranger and suffers from PTSD from his 21 days in basic training. We’re trying to put a bug in the ear of the prosecutor.
Jason Scaletta was transferred from the local jail to a State prison the other day, so he’s in for the long haul. Probably kickin’ it with his homies about now.
My Bernath Bucks (or Danny Dollars, if you prefer) will probably arrive in the mail today, so I’ll probably be intoxicated all weekend and smoking big cigars. This is for your entertainment, though;
Dear Lord, Jonn, I just ate!
Red, White and BLLLARRRRRRRFFFFFFFFFFFFFF!
I think we all just collectively went LUURRRPPPP!!! at the sight of that walking abomination.
Where in the hell is my eye bleach??? Even my cats are nauseated by that sight.
If it is releasable, are your Danny Dollars part of the same case that got TSO a new Jeep etc? Again if releasable, what particular asshattery got Bernasty slammed?
I’m surprised that Bernsaty hasn’t mentioned this on his websites. Not.
No, I filed a separate suit against him for calling me a murderer, a perjurer and his little clock counting down the days until I die from syphilis. All of which is untrue, of course. But his insurance company didn’t want to duke it out in court so they settled.
Of course, Bernath or Wittgenfeld didn’t mention it on their little website endeavor – that would mean they’d have to admit that I’ve beaten him three times in the last year at his own game. And, oh, we’re not done yet.
My inlaws had a dog once who was an unfortunate result of his mom being mounted by a sibling dog.
He was so dumb that when he was put outside on a leash would strain at it until he would choke himself out. Eventually he learned to stop doing that.
Bernard doesn’t seem to be as smart as that dog.
Bernath – damn spell check
He claims that the settlement is no skin off his nose because the money was the insurance company’s money – but his email traffic and Witless’ email traffic has increased about 900% since he found out about the settlement (he read about it first here at TAH because his insurance company won’t talk to him for obvious reasons).
You mean email traffic to you from them? Wow.
It gets better every day, I can’t wait to read the next installment of the Daniel A. Bernath series! He hasn’t accused anyone else of being me lately, has he? At last count there were seven.
Oh, look, Bernath is watching this thread! Either that or a ten-year-girl is sending me hate mail.
Well, if the spelling is correct and the grammar is proper then It’s probably a ten year old girl
Hey Jonn. Per my thermometer Lol… We hit our first 100 degree day today…… It was 101.4 today here at the house. We have a old saying out here in the land of Ouch and cacti… It’s a long walk home watch who you piss off. They need to learn some internet manners…. LMFAO !!!!!!!!!!
Please post those emails, the comedic value is intense.
^^^^ And it will piss off the DRC.
Jonn, if you can get the prosecutor’s ear, I’ll be happy to advise them on the FOIA process. (Or I could do the FOIA for them and have the results sent directly to them vice me.) However, a Federal/State/local prosecutor may also be able to subpoena his military records if they have reason to suspect him of lying about his military record in pertinent testimony in order to disprove his false claims about same. Korflage’s prosecution might want to investigate that possibility too.
Also good to hear that Scaletta is back in state custody. Well-deserved.
Too bad the stripes that the WitLessWon-der there is wearing aren’t black and white, though – along with pink underwear. IMO black/white stripes with pink underwear (like some some institutions issue) would suit him better.
I’m guessing he’s up on federal indictment? If not, I can probably get to the state prosecutor. I know a former USAF 1Lt JAG who is an Ada in Fulton.
Bernath, – *PTUI*
The Dutch Rudder Gang, – *PTUI*
A little better thought.
To the DRG-Hack,Cough,Rasp (Kiss my Ass!!) up comes a big loogie – *PTUI*. (Does that rhyme?)
You had to post that, didn’t you? Damn, Jonn. I mean, just…damn. What is it with you, causing people nightmares?
SLRRP41 not cometh? Shitbag.
A lifetime of excessive drinking can do that to a fellow.
Gee whiz, what a surprise, NOT!! The *SLUURRP*man promised me a visit back when the Dutch Rudder Gangsters were featured on Lars Larson’s show and website, that’s where Daniel A. Bernath accused at least the first two or three innocent Men of being me, OY VEY, what a gaggle of Shmendricks!! I see he still does what he can to insult other TAH Regulars as well as Verna Jones, that critter has some issues, and I can’t wait to hear about what flies right back into his face next!
DAY–UM!
Geez Jonn, WTF!!
I’m laughing and cringing at the same time.
Pass the mind and eye bleach STAT!!
Check out his high tops. Winged Mercury? Is he delivering flower bouquets by parachute now?
That guy just ain’t right.
I still want to know where I can sign up for the case. The [gentleman] Mr. Bernath is responsible for my not finding a job. I was told that, up front, during a follow-up let down by one of the jobs I applied to. An internet search of my name brought it to their attention and they don’t want to associate with me. You know, since I’m such a violent veteran with PTSD and had run-ins with MPs and stuff.
Flagwaver, I heard an ad on the radio awhile back about a company the helps repair internet reputations. Have you tried something like that? Haven’t a clue how spendy it might be.
OC
I’m sure you can find an attorney willing to help you in this circumstance to take similar action that TSO and Lilyea did. For the life of me, I will never understand under what logic they post craziness on their webpages, but the minute that someone says anything negative here about them, they go ballistic.
Sad for the girl Korfhage assaulted. Prayers for her and her family.
As for him and Dallas, I don’t want to kill them, but I would unplug their life support to plug in my cell phone charger.
They’re the types that I find completely impossible to feel sorry for, they’ll always be remembered for their idiocy. I’m sure that Daniel A. Bernath is also the laughing stock of Courthouses and legitimate Attorneys at Law in Oregon, and will be for years to come!
I can confirm that at least two law offices in {REDACTED] are big fans of the Beneath Chronicles, one of them an indigent legal aid type of place and the other on the far other end of the spectrum.
Violent sex with an underage girl? Forget the immigration charge, that’s more than enough to make him a wanted man among his fellow prison inmates, his life in prison will be hell because he’ll either be placed in Protective Confinement where his only time outside his one inmate cell will be in an open cage for one hour of exercise, or the rest of the inmates will do all they can to make his life total hell if he goes to general pop! Khorfage? Meh, he’ll just keep screwing himself.
No, I’m pretty sure that will soon be Bubba and Thor’s job.
Where’s he going dressed like that? I’m sure he’ll be passed out on a sidewalk soon!
Holy crap !!!! I’m Blind oh wait really WTF !!!! Ha bahaha !!!!!!!! 🙂
Sweet Jesus, I thought he could never look any more ridiculous when he was wearing his purple clown suit. SSSSLLLLLUUUUUUUURRRRRRPPPPPPP;)~~~~~~~~~~~
People are walking on the flag this week, and you show us a photo of Shit in a Flag. Gross.
+10 COOL POINTS to Frankie Cee!!
Instinct…Congratulations! God bless your new daughter and I pray her and mom are healthy, happy and well. With you as a dad, she has a great life ahead! God speed to the Instinct family!
Thanks, Sparks!
Both mom and daughter are doing great and we are ready to get out of here.
We have to wait though because the baby alarm went off and they are doing head counts to make sure everyone is here.
They could reach the government a thing or two about security here.
Congrats all around! Good news for a change. Great!
Never quite understood the common perception that babies are cute. They aren’t. They’re all wrinkly and stuff. They can’t fend for themselves. But, when they are yours – nothing else is as beautiful. Yeah, just as it should be.
Enjoy this time, Instinct, while she still likes you!
OWB- yep, your kids are always wonderful (even when you want to kill them) everyone else’s kids are a PITA and spoiled!
Good news all around today. Instinct had a healthy baby, Jonn’s got some cash coming via the plane crashing phony CPO, and Osama Bin Laden is still dead. Great day for everyone. Hope everyone has a great weekend. Eat shit Bernath.
My heartiest congratulations to the Instincts on the birth. May the young one live long and prosper.
I don’t know if it’s releasable information or my maternal side coming out, but how about some stats on the newest addition. It always seems that gals want to know length, weight, time/DOB,etc, and Mrs Claw may be interested in knowing once she comes back home this weekend after her Postal Convention in Deadwood,SD.
Again, Congratulations !!
Tell the better half that she was born at night, is heavier than a feather and bigger than my hand 😀
Born 4-29-2015 at 11:39pm; 6lbs 9oz and 19.5 inches long.
We are all now home and my oldest, Matthew, is happy as can be that he has another baby sister. He’s a good big brother. The second child is taking a nap so she has not met her younger sister.
Thank You, Sir. I’ll pass that info along.
I think that the gals use info like that as a kind of a measuring stick. For example like my wife was only 4’11” and 97 pounds while she was carrying our twin sons and their combined weights at birth was 13.5+ pounds, so she has the bragging rights amongst her sisters on who was the biggest.
Again, Congrats to you and your family.
Good Lord! Twins?!?!
Yeah, I don’t think I would want any of my kids to have a double, they are trouble enough on their own!!!
We recently had a Baby JAGC. So from our growing family to yours, congratulations!
Congrats to you, too, then!
The thought of how much energy it takes to care for an infant makes me tired. It must be nap time.
Congratulations!!!
New additions to be celebrated! Congratulations to JAGC and Instinct! 🙂
Congratulations!! Is it your first or an addition to the hoard???
Thanks to all! Instinct, congrats again! This is our first so I have been muddling along. Every week he seems to hit a milestone as his personality and motor skills develop, etc. So you won’t get much sleep, and there have been days when I really should not have been driving or doing legal work due to lack of said sleep, but it’s fun in a zombie-like haze sort of a way!
Well, since it’s your first I will give you the three pieces of advice I have found to be true.
1 – Carters clothing is actually the size they say it is. This included OshKosh
2 – Baby Einstein toys will survive a rambunctious two year old
3 – Graco playpens, carseats and strollers are fantastic. Ours has lasted through all of the so far.
Any other advise is suspect at best and outright wrong at worst 😀
If you haven’t already done so, put a lock on the liquor/wine cabinet NOW.
Otherwise, he’ll disappear and you’ll finally find him in there snoring, with a wine cork in one hand and his stuffed bear/toy in the other.
Big Congrats too you to… Is it me or is there a lot of baby’s piping up around here Lol… Wife has number two… In the oven… 🙂
Poping not piping……. good grief how do I disable spell check Lol…..
Congrats to the Instinct Family on their newest bundle of joy!!
speaking of cute little poops….well, kinda fat, smelly shits actually …
John Giduck – the turd with a face!
I just farted…doesn’t that count for something? A Yaklich at least?
24 hours later and stopped up with a turtlehead. No face and all anus.
Still smells like a Giduck though.
The Instinct family’s newest edition is definitely THE cutest thing EVERRRRR! All babies are cute, even if they aren’t yours.
So I offer congrats to two people: Instinct, for the newest addition, and Jonn, for the continuing stomping down the bad pilot/lawer/whatever from that place out in the PacNW.
Thanks PH-2. She is a real cutie.
Our cat Wes seems to be smitten with her. He has been curled up near her ever since we got home. He sniffed her, gave her a gentle head rub, and then curled up and went to sleep.
Today is my wonderful husband’s birthday, so I’m off to Cabela’s to pick out a nice high-caliber gift for him! I hope you all have as wonderful (and high-test) a day and weekend.
I enjoy the thought that it will p!ss off a liberal EVERY time I buy another gun or ammo!! 😉
I very nearly came home with two firearms instead of one, but somehow I resisted the temptation. Still, the delight on his face when he opened the box – and when he went outside to sight it in – was a joy.
Anti-gun folk just don’t know what they’re missing. And as long as they keep avoiding the range, they’ll always miss.
When it comes to that kind of temptation, I always give in to it.
In this case it was – gotta hold something in reserve for our anniversary this summer, and it’s hard to hide a present for 3 months! And they didn’t have the exact model I want to pick up. 😉 So they’ll call me when they get it in.
I do have my own collection as well – we’re just built very differently, so we found very quickly it’s more comfortable to have his and hers firearms. We’ve also got an air rifle coming, so I can get some practice taking out starlings (darn invasive pests…).
I keep trying to tell my Mrs. that THERE IS NO SUCH THING AS owning too many firearms or too much ammo, that’s like saying there’s too much beer in the cooler when you’re going fishing!! 😀
Do we have too much beer?
Well, when the guns need more room than YOU do, it might be a sign there’s too many. 😉 But that’s just me talking. I’m not sure my husband would agree with me!
(And congratulations, API, since I spazzed on that yesterday with all my rapid comings and goings!)
Speaking of family additions, Mrs. A Proud Infidel®™ and I finalized the adoption of our former Foster Son last month, he’s now A Proud Infidel®™ Junior!
Cool!
Yay!
@ A PROUD INFIDEL:
Congratulations!
When I was eighteen months old, I was adopted by a career Army sergeant.
My five older sisters, one younger brother, and I, were all adopted by different families, given different identities, and raised in different locations.
Miraculously, as adults, we did accidentally find each other.
My biological younger brother and I both served in the United States Army, and both of us were stationed in Germany at the same time, although neither of us knew it.
My wife and I, as she was unable to bear children, hoped to be able to adopt, but my chronic wanderlust and lack of sufficient steady income made that impossible.
Grampaw warned me that,
“Moss don’t grow on a rolling stone.”
Well, since there’s good news all around, today; a little something that the older folks here will enjoy.
Yep, those boys could sing. Saw another group (Jefferson Airplane, maybe?) do it about 20 years ago and I was mesmerized. It was a fairly small venue, with them dancing among us. Great stuff.
Awesome. Three Dog Night, CCR, Deep Purple, and then some of the younger groups like Journey and Genesis…nobody sings like that anymore. I’ve been making a collection of these groups on CD for driving music.
Oh yeah, I’d also add ELO, Boston, and the Doobie Brothers to that list, good music!!
Congrats Instinct!
Additionally, Congrats JAGC!
Thank you. We are as happy as can be.
My son just told me that next time he want’s a brother.
When my wife was pregnant with my son I was living with my wife and six daughters. I told her that if the baby turns out to be another girl if we got so much as a goldfish it was going to be male.
My friend, Chaplain at 6th Ranger Training Battalion, has 5 sons. That house is a hoot. Love to visit and fellowship with them. His poor wife seems to have adapted to the testosterone loaded environment.
Congrats to Instinct, JAGC, and API®™! Wishing you all many happy days.
OT: If all of the TAH refgulars haven’t seen that video that Jonn shared on the TAH facebook page, you’re missing out.
Ditto on the triple congratulations to all three new parental units.
Watched the video. Sounds like that individual and Heavy Chevy were in the same squad at the State Guard.
He looks more like a hybrid cross between “Blobfish” and the Round Ranger, I’m sure he’s certain death to every jelly doughnut he lays eyes on!!!
Congrats to Instinct and JAGC on their blessed events!!!
Ah…I see Miss Samantha Marie has Daddy wrapped around her little finger as should be 🙂
Congrats to Instinct, JAGC and Infidel on the additions to family. Jonn, enjoy the cigars!
Of course! It’s in the “Dad’s Handbook of How to be Awesome!”
I never had any daughters but have 3 grand daughters and they are all a lot of fun. A blonde, a redhead and a brunette so I can tell each of them that they are my favorite (pick a color) grand daughter.
Hey! I can see my penis! I can see my penis!
Oh…wait a sec….it’s just some lint in my belly button. Who has donuts?
sincerely
John “Faker 6” Giduck
Damn, I hate when I confuse some belly button lint and two donut crumbs for my junk.
sincerely

In other news, 150 years ago today,at 6AM, President Lincoln’s Funeral Train made a 10 minute stop in my little hometown back in Indiana. It made many other small town stops on the way to Chicago before turning south to Springfield,IL.
Also 100 years ago on the day before yesterday (April 29th) a male child (the third of five sons as it turned out) was born in the small family farmhouse of Grandpa and Grandma Claw in rural Gillam Township of Jasper County, Indiana.
So Happy Birthday, Dad. It’s been pretty lonely without you for the past 42 years.
Sorry, Claw.
Can’t imagine life without my dad around. I know it will happen but I hope it won’t be for a good long while.

I really loved that movie!
What sold me on going to see it was not only the title, with my memory of those Rock ‘n’ Roll boyhood years, but the scene of those boys with their sleeping bags, hiking down the railroad tracks.
Unfortunately, a good Mormon girl, who had just returned from her full-time Church mission in Sicily, refused to go to that movie with me because it was “R” rated.
But, shocking and repulsive as the foul language was, “STAND BY ME” still remains one of my favorite movies.
Congrats to both Instinct and JAGC on the new arrivals.
Secondly, I’m glad that Bernath is finally getting his comeuppance 🙂
Ditto, and I’m sure that what Daniel A. Bernath has experienced so far is like the first few pebbles and rocks that fall just before a major landslide or avalanche!!!
Thank you.
Proud – Agreed!
Well, my brother-in-law is preparing a feast for the ages to celebrate the highest of Filipino holidays, the one called “Any Time Manny Pacquiao Fights.”
Depending on the outcome, street violence may or may not ensue.
He dang well better have made lumpia or there should be violence!!
There’s ALWAYS lumpia.
Great. Now I’m all hungry for lumpia. There’s an Oriental Market right down the road, run by a couple of Filipino gals, super friendly and man can they cook!
Change of dinner plans, be right back.
Yeah, we don’t have that here.
I hate you now.
mmmmm, pork adobe, kawali, and lumpia, of course.
😉
Australia and the PI run neck and neck for friendliest folks I’ve run into in my travels, by far.
Australians were very friendly when we ran into them in Hong Kong. Bar full of Aussie Sailors and Marines as well as British Sailors and Marines.
We rolled in with a bunch of our Marine buddies from the boat.
They were real friendly, right up until the fight started 😀
Balut, it’s not just for breakfast, anymore.
God’s Blessings to you and your family…..such a beautiful baby!
Thank you.
Good to be home with her. Her older brother and sister and adjusting pretty well.
He might live to see five… maybe.
Congratulations to both Instinct and JAGC on their new babies!
About daughters — my daddy was a USAF Chief. He made sure to have a quiet chat with my dates before we went out. I think all in the world he ever did was ask them a few sociable questions. They were petrified. When you are the daddy, you don’t even have to make threats. All you have to do is be there.
My rules will be simple, all he has to do are these things:
– walk up and knock on the door.
– be respectful, and I mean honest respect not that BS ‘sir’ crap where the undertone is ‘whatever’
– Be home when you say, and don’t be where you shouldn’t
– Don’t be a slob
To the new proud parents:
An old Irish blessing:
May God look down a bless the new born babe. Bless the lil’ one forever. And if the lil’ one should resemble the farmer next door, may God instruct the farmer’s cow to crush him beneath it’s hoof.
Yeah,
The schedule of fees at the CA State Bar Court is quite stiff.
Seems our favorite CA registered lawyer who claims to live in OR, FL, OR and FL, on cruise ships, in the air space above North America and other environs is attempting to mitigate damage by attempting to settle with the Bar Court (possibly by surrendering his Bar #).
Ah … NEWS FLASH … Ain’t going to happen!
The CPO Mess runs deep!
Daniel A. Bernath has kinda gracefully FUXXED HIMSELF, hasn’t he? Like I said earlier, I see the latest happenings to him being like the first few rocks and pebbles that fall just before an avalanche or landslide!
A better day couldn’t be had. 🙂
Oh, I can think of how it would be better but that would involve a long walk and a short pier.
“Stir the shitpot often enough, and one day, karma will make you lick the spoon and swallow!” – Unknown
“Stir the shitpot often enough, and one day, karma will make you lick the spoon and swallow!” – Unknown
… And that is EXACTLY what Daniel A. Bernath did. If he had never came on here and started threatening and flapping his decrepit cock-holster, his story and entry would have had a few comments and been buried in the pile.
Instead he thought he could bully and threaten the creators of the blog and commenters.
He has been peeled like an onion, and all his lies, conniving and disgusting behavior have been and exposed and consolidated on this blog.
18 months of stupidity has done nothing but lighten his pockets, make him internet famous and ensure that he will probably never be able to put a single asset in his name. Theres that little matter of his disbarrment as well.
Reap the whirlwind Daniel A Bernath, you shingle-infested son of a bitch.
Shouldn’t that be ‘internet INfamous’?
Just sayin’.
Not only has karma made Daniel A. Bernath lick the spoon, it flung the whole bucketful right back in his face!
I don’t think that this story is close to being over… but we do know that he’s gonna have a huge problem with finding someone that is willing to pick up him as a client for homeowners insurance.
Especially since he continues to do it. That is some vile stuff he has on his 2 sites and he updates it all the time. An insurance company is certainly going to Google him.
Does anyone think maybe he still doens’t get what a crashing bore he is?
(Yeah, I had to use ‘crashing’. It was obligatory.)
Some folks evidently like the taste.
So, it looks like the “voluntary surrender” ploy will be refused, eh?
Good. (smile)
Big Congratulations from the Skippy Family… To The Instinct Family on its Newest Member !!!!!! 🙂
Thanks, Skippy! Or, as they say in England – Thanks!
(they speak English there too ya know) 😀
lol…… 🙂
Congrats Instinct and JAGC! Best of luck with your newborn!
Thank you! I’ll need luck if she is as smart as her siblings.
Her brother, who is four, is doing addition and subtraction and can write out the alphabet.
Congratulations, Jonn! Proud of you! Hahaha! Prayers answered!
Congratulations to Instinct and JAGC and welcome to the world, Samantha.
Thank you, we are happy as clams at high tide!
Congratulations to all of the new dads. Enjoy every second. Hug them and tell them that you love them EVERY day. They grow up too damn fast.
For the first timers, raising kids is like pushing troops-except that the troops listen.(and CSM Mom usually has the final say)
You mean “Household 6”?
It’s a boy!!! I said with tears streaming down my face….. Oh my God ,,, a boy!!!,,,
Then I got dressed and left and swore never to pick up a Thai hooker again.
Ha Ha Hee Hee !! Big time laughs from my end.
I’m guessing that rule also applies to pygmy transvestite strippers?
I understand that a certain individual who’s fond of spandex read the above and had no comment.
That’s because he was too busy reliving the memory over and over.
I just got up to the farm tonight to find I have a new baby boy calf. 5th calf this spring (2 female and 3 male). All are healthy and so are the mamas. Knocking on wood. I have an old bull….he walks everywhere. 😉
Smart bull. Reminds me of the following joke:
Young bull (to older bull): “Hey, look! There are about 20 cows over there! I think I’m gonna run over and hump one or two of them!”
Old bull: “You go right ahead, son. Me, I’m gonna walk over there at a leisurely pace – and hump ALL of ’em.”
Perhaps Bernasty will be the next guy to crash an aircraft on the White House lawn. They should not plant any corn in their garden. But he wont have any of that overrated gasoline in the tanks again so no problem.
A new royal, a princess. Any bets on a name?
Elizabeth, after great-grandma and great-great grandma.
Dianna …
We already named her – Samantha 😀
I walked in a portable restroom yesterday.
I looked down by accident and was immediately reminded of Phil Monkress, the False Commander at All-Points Logistics.
I hear that APL has a few satellite offices. You must have found one.
I would ask them but I never get that far.
All I get are threats and hung up on.
All for simply seeking clarification of Phildo’s Native American, Law Enforcement, Commissioning and Navy Seal claims.
The “Less-than-honorable” COL W II refers me to a legal department that does not exist. Furthermore, when you ask senior staff, they at least say the “do not know Phil Monkress” before hanging up on you.
What a business and what a leader Phildo must be, huh? Or they are all in it together.
Great story over at Army W.T.F.: https://www.facebook.com/usawtfm?fref=nf
We just left JRTC on our way back to Fort Bragg. At our stop at Wendy’s this wonderful woman paid for all of our orders. A few Soldiers gave her their combat patch, unit patch, and airborne wings as a thank you. She paid over $400 for 53 soldiers.
A Big Thank you from 3-319 Airborne Field Artillery Regiment 1st Brigade Combat Team, 82nd Airborne Division!
Anyone feel the 4.2 quake south of Galesburg, MI?
If you did, and had any damage, go to earthquake report dot com to the ‘less than 4.5’ page and report it.
@Ex-PH2:
Thank you for providing that link.
I’ve saved it for future reference in my “Science” folder.
My old residence where my ex and daughters live still is 3 miles away from the epicenter. In fact the epicenter was in Scotts Mill Park where we go fishing routinely. I currently live about 75 miles north and felt it.
I was working in the basement and the dogs went ape shit about 5 seconds before feeling the earthquake. I honest thought it was a dump truck or bulldozer as they are building new houses in the subdivision over from mine
Talked to my daughters immediately after. They were out in the yard playing. They to noted, first this thing before I even told my story, that all of the dogs in the neighborhood where they live went ape shit right before it happened. It was strong enough that my girls went to their knees I’m the yard and the house was visibly shaking. Me ex wife says there is some dry wall cracks in a few places.
As many of you know, for the past several years, I’ve volunteered my computer analyzing raw data in various scientific projects, all coordinated by Berkeley Open Infrastructure for Network Computing, i.e., “B.O.I.N.C.”, at the University of California at Berkeley.
My initial interest was participation in the Search for Extra-Terrestrial Intelligence, i.e., “S.E.T.I.”, because, as a convert in my chosen faith, The Church of JESUS CHRIST of Latter-day Saints, i.e., the “MORMON” church, I truly believe that there are multiple planets, and/or multiple dimensions, much like our own, that are populated by human beings who look very much as we do.
This belief was reinforced by detection in 1977 at Ohio State University, of the now famous “WOW!” signal, an intelligent radio transmission originating in the vicinity of the constellation, Sagittarius.
Just now, I received notice from the World Community Grid web site that I’ve just been awarded the Bronze Badge for my (computer’s) accomplishments in the Clean Energy Project.
Since I never pay any attention to this stuff, I also learned that my computer had already earned a Bronze Badge for analyzing raw data in the Computing for Clean Water research project, a Silver Badge for analyzing raw data for the Nutritious Rice for the World research project, and a Gold Badge for analyzing raw data in the Help Conquer Cancer research project.
When I was in the United States Army, we used to joke,
“That medal and ten cents will get you a cup of coffee.”
But, all sarcasm aside, I’m still proud of what I’m doing, even if it really is only my computer that’s actually doing all the work.
You all might want to try it, too!
It’s only a tiny fraction of your computer’s hard drive that is doing everything, running your favorite research data analysis projects in the background, while you keep on doing whatever it is you would normally do on your computer, with no interference from the research projects.
John,
Get to the point!
The Aliens!
Tell us about the Aliens!
How much time do we have before they arrive?
Out!
No stories about alien anal probes… the DRG may become aroused by them
@ MASTER CHIEF:
The aliens are illegal, and swarming across our Southwestern border by the millions, preying upon native born American citizens, and completely destroying our national economy.
“Remember the Alamo!”

“BALLAD OF THE ALAMO” Lyrics By: PAUL FRANCIS WEBSTER Music By: DIMITRI TIOMKIN In the southern part of Texas, In the town of San Antone, There’s a fortress all in ruins That the weeds have overgrown. You may look in vain for crosses And you’ll never see a one, But sometimes between the setting And the rising of the sun, You can hear a ghostly bugle As the men go marching by. You can hear them as they answer To that roll call in the sky: Colonel Travis, Davy Crockett And a hundred and eighty more; Captain Dickenson, Jim Bowie, Present and accounted for. Back in 1836, Houston said to Travis: “Get some volunteers and go Fortify the Alamo.” Well, the men came from Texas And from old Tennessee, And they joined up with Travis Just to fight for the right To be free. Indian scouts with squirrel guns, Men with muzzle loaders, Stood together heel and toe To defend the Alamo. “You may ne’er see Your loved ones,” Travis told them that day. “Those that want to can leave now. Those who’ll fight to the death, Let ’em stay.” In the sand, he drew a line With his army sabre. Out of a hundred and eighty five, Not a soldier crossed the line. With his banners a-dancing In the dawn’s golden light, Santa Anna came prancing On a horse that was black As the night. Sent an officer to tell Travis to surrender. Travis answered with a shell And a rousing Rebel yell. Santa Anna turned scarlet, “Play Deguello,” he roared. “I will show them no quarter. Everyone will be put To the sword.” One hundred and eighty five Holding back five thousand. Five days, six days, Eight days, ten; Travis held and held again. Then he sent for replacements For his wounded and lame, But the troops that were coming Never came, never came, Never came. Twice he charged, Then blew recall. On the fatal third time, Santa Anna breached the wall And he killed them, one and all. Now the bugles are silent And there’s rust on… Read more »
Monday morning, I’m scheduled to undergo a colonoscopy at the local Ashley Regional Medical Center, which was ordered by the VAMC in Salt Lake City.
But, I’m so sick, they might have to cancel it.
Already, the VAMC in Salt Lake City has had to cancel my MRI, and the Physical Therapy folks here in Vernal have had to cancel all those appointments.
I finally received my travel pay, but boy, it sure took a long time.
The last couple of times, I got it right away, so I don’t know why it took so long this time around.
The VAMC sent me a HUMONGOUS bill for prescription co-pay, which I can’t possibly pay at the moment, because the folks who wrote the prescriptions neglected to note that the prescriptions were for Service-Connected conditions, and I forgot to remind them.
JRM: call the 800-number on the copay bill. They can tell you what you have to do to get the copay straightened out – and might be able to access your records and straighten it out over the phone.
It is posts like this that make hitting Jonn’s tip jar once a month so worthwhile.
A hat tip to these Kurdish PKK women fighting ISIS.
