PacMan

According to Google, today is PacMan’s 30th birthday. Actually, I thought the culture began its descent much earlier than 1985.

Speaking of the culture descending, Dan Bernath loves these open threads, so everybody wave. Today he is back on the “self murder” pony.

Oh, yeah, he thinks that he found Hondo again, so he’s begun harassing another innocent fellow. I guess he never tires of looking like a complete moron.

The way I see it, Crash-and-Bernath isn’t long for the outside world. He’ll soon be happily drooling to himself over a Thorazine drip while hugging himself inside a cuffless jacket.

Re: Jonn’s comment about waving to Bernath…if I were to wave something at he-who-never-was-and-never-will-be-a-Chief-Petty-Officer, I’d wave a middle finger at him.

Who’s this Bernath chap that Jonn mentions? Does he have a NDSM? Is he a sniper? PFFFFTTTT!

Oh! That “guy”.

Oh, well, I was busy making pasta salad for supper because it is hotter than a fresh radish over here, and my toolbar decided to take a trip to the top of my monitor screen without telling me. Strange days we live in.

While he’s in LA at the California Bar Hearing, he’s been doing it on Figueroa St, behind the courthouse dumpster. Just in case, we’ll try to get a video to share.

I am glad he and the rest of the DRC are using their time(s) wisely and productively. It is better that hey have something in their collective mouths. It prevents them from speaking.

How about that, Pac-Man is 30.
Since I have to ask, the answer is probably, “No, you must still sit with the freshmen”. 40 years ago I went to USAF basic training, may I sit at the cool table now?

Twist

In a round-about way Pac-Man is how I found out about Santa Clause. It was around Christmas time and I was looking for something (I wasn’t even snooping for presents) and I found an Atari 2600 and was stoked that my parents got me one for Christmas. On Christmas morning I opened a present from Santa and it was the Atari. I hadn’t thought of that for years and the Pac-Man birthday dredged that out from the deepest parts of my brain.

Roger in Republic

Once again Google has stepped on it’s dick. Pacman was licensed for release in the US in 1980! I remember playing it in the Spot Tavern (Fife, WA.) in that year. I never believe Google on any history over 20 years ago because no one who works there can remember 1980. They are all too young.

When I returned from Viet Nam, I was assigned to Combat Developments Experimentation Command (CDEC) at Hunter Liggett Military Reservation (which today is Fort Hunter Liggett) in California, and while there, I spent an entire weekend at DISNEYLAND!

I rode the monorail and stayed in the Disneyland Hotel.

I loved every minute of it.

“Lawn Dart” Daniel A. Bernath sounds off yet again with a dump truck load of idiocy coming from his cranium full of moldy slug and snail snot. I wonder if he’s accused anyone else of being me lately? It was eight at my last count, FUCK YOU Daniel A. Bernath, UP YOUR catheter with a dozen dead porcupines wrapped in asbestos, you fungus-laden pustule on an inbred buck-toothed Swamp Donkey’s ass! “Lawn Dart Danny”, the Chief Pivot Man of The Dutch Rudder Gang never has been and never will be a USN CPO(Honorary or otherwise), a competent pilot, OR an Attorney at Law in Florida or Oregon! ALL the misery he’s experiencing now is his own doing, he just couldn’t make himself quit messing with the WRONG people!

API, reading your comment reminds me once again of the best line in Blazing Saddles when Taggert (Slim Pickens) says: (in that unmistakable voice of his)

After yesterday I’m thinking about starting to carry at work even though I work on a firing range.

OldSarge57

I feel the same way. I never really felt the need or cared until this year. Spent way too many years lugging the damn things around and cleaning them to some armorer’s demented standard. Bought a new one last week and plan on buying another next week. Even the wife thinks it’s a good idea.

Reb

I’m just an old man, but I always wear my holstered Ruger “Security Six” .357 magnum service revolver, and I try to encourage others to wear their firearms.

Now that’s funny!

I’ve been carrying since the first notices came out about current and former military being targets. The wife got her required training and permit about a month ago and was carrying one of mine until we picked her up a sweet Kimber Ultra CDP II in 9mm last weekend for her birthday. She needs some more range time with it, but she’s happy to have it instead of the full size P220 that she was toting.

GDContractor

This is me waving at Dan. Hey Dan, how many fingers am I holding up?

Did ya know I made an iPhone app about you? One of us is going to be rich! The app allows the user to get the latest details about your penis/catheter histrionics as the CA Bar prepares to flush your miserable ass into permanent irrelevance. The bad news is that the app costs $1.99 so I doubt you will be able to afford it…but still, isn’t technology great? See you at the app store!

sj

Really? I’m in for $1.99. Name?

Android!

Reb

Me too! You want me to lend $1.99 to Bernath, I can spare it LOL

sj

He’ll take you up on it because he has no source of income now (or at least soon when the CA Bar finishes with him).

Reb

I’ll make him beg first LOL

Bobo

I don’t think that anyone has actually hired the Lawn Dart as an attorney in years. It might be decades if you don’t count the questionable SS work that he’s done. The only reason why he maintains his license is so that he can toss “Esq” at the end of his name on all of the frivolous TAH lawsuits (and to make Witless and [others] think that he actually has some legal acumen).

It’s the way the Army used to do NCO business.

Ex-PH2

Ah! Beware the Ides of Air Cav!

Reb

To my delight, the picture BERNATH POSTED EVERYWHERE, EVEN ON HIS WIFE’S BACK is grounds for a lawsuit. It shows a picture not of me, in front of a house, not mine and my maiden name says “I ALLOWED MY EX TO RAPE MY DAUGHTER”. Well my daughter saw the picture and we went to the person in the picture and we all have the same Attorney who took our case Pro Bono.
The agent I’ve been working with who has everything that the asshole and lapdogs posted, emails and of course all the threats he made to members of TAH is working his “what a hunk” butt off to find all the State and Federal laws they broke. He told me last night that when Bernath and Dallas emailed me”I’m going to splatter your brains all over just like they did Chris Kyle” and other threats are not taken lightly. Anger management classes ordered by a Judge, his fight with Hyatt are great piece of evidence. So, SOON TO BE DISBARRED IN CALIFORNIA BERNATH..YOU STILL HAVE NOT FOUND ME…oh, someone shared your advertising that your a Florida Attorney, but via the Florida Bar…NO BERNATH! EMSFH

I’ll sure be glad when you folks finally get rid of this Dan Bernath character, or whatever.

I’m tired of reading about him.

I don’t know the guy, have nothing to do with any pertinent legal action, and just flat out have no interest in that subject.

So, when reading these comments, I just try to skip past everything that has any reference to whatever mentions Dan Bernath or his related material.

Isn’t it about time for ShOrTbUsWiNdOwLiCkEr41 to make a visit to the local sheriff’s office and have an updated photo put on line. The ;ast one was a classic – the look was “I’m in jail for dorking the neighbor’s Pommeranian in the squeakhole while finishing off a bottle of T-bird”.

As for Danni-boy, well it’s just a matter of time before the CA Bar takes his license away and quite possibly refers charges on him for criminal action. BTW – the Boola Boola tribe of Arkentucky has anointed you with the title of “Chief Floppy Dong” due to your daring exploits of engaging in anal buttsekks warfare with the Subic Bay benny boys in the PI during Vietnam.

Well hell! Auto correct is the Devil! That “The” was supposed to be “That”. I meant to say “Thanks for THAT, D”, but my phone is a whore. Sorry about that.

OWB

Can’t say that it was official or widespread, but from the oral history of my own family, I know that early abolitionists in fact did organize to help slaves and former slaves defend themselves as well as become free, productive citizens. Those abolitionists/civil rights activists used every means at their disposal to first correct the evil that is slavery then to advance the cause of freedom for all. Could any of this have occurred through the NRA? I dunno. Could have, and it is easy to believe that it did occur at least in some places.

A lack of evidence does not prove anything other than a lack of evidence exists. Reality is whatever it is whether any of us can prove it or not.

Valkyrie

It’s one of those “feel good” stories that I figure the NRA would want to jump all over for the free PR. Plus a chance to say “nanny nanny boo boo stick your head in do-do” to all the libtards trying to make them out to be the boogy man.

The Other Whitey

Not sure if anybody’s followed the effort to save the USS Olympia, but apparently there’s been a positive development. For those unfamiliar with the story, the USS Olympia (C-6) is a pre-dreadnought protected cruiser commissioned in 1895. In 1898, she was the flagship from which Admiral George Dewey shoved his boot up the Spanish Navy’s ass at the Battle of Manila Bay, cementing America’s status as a global superpower capable of projecting force worldwide. She remained in service throughout WWI, with her final active duty cruise being a trip to France in 1918 to retrieve the first Unknown Soldier to be laid in the Tomb and bear his remains back to Washington DC. Her arrival at Washington Navy Yard was greeted by no less than General Black Jack Pershing himself, who personally led the Unknown Soldier’s funeral procession on foot. She has been a museum ship in Philadelphia since the 50s, but is in bad shape below the waterline, not having seen the inside of a drydock in nearly a century. She is a National Historic Landmark, the only steel-hulled warship of that era still in existence, and her historical, cultural, and mechanical significance is immeasurable. In spite of all this, and the fact that even in the Twitter Generation she still sees tens of thousands of visitors each year, the Obama administration has responded to requests by the museum to assist with drydocking and repairs by offering to tow her out to sea and sink her (same story for the dreadnought battleship USS Texas–the only dreadnought battleship left in the world). In a wonderful gesture of patriotism–and a nice big “Go fuck yourself” to the Glorious Leader’s lackeys–last month three benefactors made sizable donations totaling almost $14 million to help preserve the Olympia. Visitor donations have also piled up. In a strange twist, the Russian online gaming site Wargaming.net has been actively promoting awareness about the old cruiser among online gamers. The Olympia’s future looks a lot brighter today than it has in years. One of these days (it’s kind of a long drive from San Diego), I will… Read more »

Enigma4you

Thanks for the Update

Preserving a ship is a huge undertaking, most of the Museum ships are having major problems.

As you mentioned the USS Texas was declared unsafe to tow and the only option left was permanent dry dock.

The USS Yorktown is suffering and is in danger of being lost. The North Carolina is getting major work done. The Alabama is sitting on a mud bottom now.

There is little public funding for these pieces of history. Most of the money needed comes from the private sector 2 or 3 dollars at the time.

It has been my great privilege to be involved with a few of the Museum ships. I know they will never again be Haze Grey and Underway but they still have much to offer, we need to preserve them for future generations.

The Other Whitey

We can find plenty of money for free sex changes for incarcerated felons, free healthcare for illegal aliens, DHS focus groups that declare gun-owning conservative Americans (especially veterans) to be the most likely terrorist threat despite mountains of evidence to the contrary, huge “loans” of military hardware (that we’ll never see again) for middle-eastern shitholes who punctuate their official documents with “death to America,” freakishly over-budget F-35s that will only get off the ground if God likes you, deathtrap Zumwalt-class destroyers built around a gun that doesn’t work that cost more than a carrier and will sink if a tuna bumps into them, Moochelle’s twice-a-week five-star vacations, and the Glorious Leader’s daily tee time. But Christ forbid we take an infinitesimally-tiny fraction of that waste to preserve rare and irreplaceable pieces of history. Or any other more important and useful appropriation of government funds, for that matter.

BTW, I recently read that the Alabama and North Carolina are both being cofferdammed for their hull repairs in lieu of a drydock. I wonder why they don’t do the same for the Texas. As I understand it, she’s in a cove outside of the river’s main traffic channel. Perfect spot to do it.

Perry Gaskill

A $29 million project using state funds approved by voters to dry berth the USS Texas is apparently already underway, and due to be completed in 2017.

One of the interesting things about the location of the Texas is that it’s adjacent to the site of the Battle of San Jacinto. This is where on a morning in 1836 an out-numbered group of Texans led by Sam Houston took about 15 minutes to defeat a Mexican force under the command of Antonio López de Santa Anna, the same guy who ordered the slaughter of those at the Alamo. Santa Anna was apparently captured the next day while dressed as a private and hiding in a swamp.

It’s worth a visit if you’re ever in Houston.

Let me see. He was let go from a job he held only briefly in 2013. Then he took a trip to Jordan. Then he was recently arrested for DUI.

Does anyone besides me see possible anger management issues in this? Not to read too much into it, mind you.

Officials investigating alleged Chattanooga gunman’s 2014 trip to Jordan.

Ya, lone wolf my ass. No indication he was an Islamic psychopath. People that knew him were shocked. Having a Muslim near you is like having that dog that never attacked anyone until it rips the face off the neighbor kid.

Do you folks have any idea how LUCKY I am? Every once in a while, the enormity of it suddenly hits me, such as right now, and I am overwhelmed with wonder and gratitude for the multitude of blessings that have been poured out upon me, with no fathomable explanation, and without any regard for true merit. I am amazed when comparing the horrors and utter hopelessness of my youth with the years of life’s experiences and accomplishments, i.e., the places I’ve been, the things I’ve seen, the people I’ve met, the stuff I’ve learned, et cetera. On a freezing cold January night in the Pacific Northwest, I was born during a poker game in a tent beside the railroad tracks. Abandoned by my parents, when I was found by Child Welfare investigators, I was eating from a toilet. During my teenage years, a juvenile court committed me to an insane asylum, where I was locked up with convicted violent felons. One of my most vivid memories of those terrible days was when I was seventeen years old, and had committed some minor infraction. There I was, on one of the “forgotten” back wards reserved for those who would never be freed, injected with Thorazine, stripped naked, isolated in a locked room with no furniture, except a metal pot sitting in a corner. Staring out the window, I thought, “This is the end. I’ll never have a girlfriend. I’ll never make love to a woman. I’ll never be married, or have a family. I’ll never finish high school or go to college. I’ll never drive a car. I’ll never shoot a gun. I’ll never get to be in the Armed Forces. I’ll never travel. I’ll never have a job. I’ll never have any money. I’ll never be free. It really is all over for me, and there is no hope for anything or any future.” Those were my thoughts at that time, under those circumstances. BUT – – – , When I was nineteen years old, I was freed. I did have a girlfriend. I did get married. I did… Read more »

AND then there’s all those blessings we take for granted and never think about, i.e., sight, hearing, taste, hands, feet, our brain, being born in the United States of America, being born in the Twentieth Century, being born a White man, being able to read and write, having clean air and clean water, having oodles of delicious foods to choose to eat, having clean clothes, a bed to sleep in, a roof over our heads.

I read somewhere that the majority of the World’s population has only one change of clothes and one pair of shoes.

In India, Africa, and South America, people die because they are bit by vipers while sleeping on their dirt floors in a house with no closed door, and lions, hyenas, and tigers enter those homes and drag away sleeping people.

Boy, are WE lucky, huh?

IT’S OKAY, this has been oofisshully declassified, WHEN was the last time ANY US Military Unit was short on rumors, gossip, gripes, and motor pool BULLSHIT? BTW, the Warner Bros. and Theodore Geisel Seuss (aka Dr. Seuss) took part in producing these WWII wartime cartoons like this:

“The bologna is flying”. The boys in prison will be partying tonight. Hahha!

I love these Snafu cartoons. I think I’ve watched all of them, since I first saw them posted here a while back.

Dear Lawn Dart Danny,

I still stipulate that suicide (or, as you like to call it, “self murder”) is a result of mental illness and/or mental weakness. I’m guessing that with your upcoming disbarment, your family has you staying on the first floor, wearing slippers and sans-a-belt pants, taking supervised baths, and away from sharp objects.

Enjoy the rest of your life as a former sailor, former TSA screener, former American Legionnaire, and soon to be former attorney. Strange how everything is former. I guess that that makes you a current all around failure. Asshat.

Silentium Est Aureum

I’m still waiting to see if he was ever successful at anything.

HMCS (FMF) ret.

Don’t forget that he was a school bus driver… and failed at that!

And professional short bus window licker.

He was a Radio Shack Battery of the Month Club member until Radio Shack got sick of his shit and declared bankruptcy and liqidated… just to rid themselves of him.

I wonder if Costco refunded “Lawn Dart” Daniel A. Bernath’s membership fee and told him to go pound sand after he drove his dented Cadillac into a pallet of potting soil while having an attention whore fit over a handicapped parking space?

HMCS (FMF) ret.

That was at Bi-Mart… a PNW version of Costco, but with lower end items.

Can’t picture Danni-boi walking into Costco and eating a hot dog or slice of pizza. Having to rub elbows with the “working class” would give him another flareup of the shingles or prevent him from passing his catheter past is prostate and into his bladder for 6 to 8 hours.

Recall that he was going to be the head of the American Legion this year.

It’s tough to do when you’re no longer a member.

A Proud Infidel®™

Correct me if I’m wrong, but didn’t he and the other members of the Dutch Rudder Gang once say they were gonna show up at the AL National Convention and not only get “Lawn Dart” Daniel A. Bernath elected as National Commander, they were gonna topple TAH as well. What have ANY of them ever succeeded at in this life other than making extreme asses out of themselves?

A Proud Infidel®™

“Lawn Dart” Daniel A. Bernath is also a FORMER TSA groper/sniffer (What, a whole two years doing that?). I’ve seen some very stupid and incompetent snot-spined thumbsucking bedwetters do that for longer than he did, I wonder if he just couldn’t cut the mustard, or was he just too idiotic to even keep a job with the TSA?
I hear rumor that he’s about to be a FORMER member of the Californis Bar, but he’s advertising himself as an Attorney at Law in FL where he’s NOT listed as a member of the Florida Bar, what a POOP STAIN!!

Silentium Est Aureum

Whoopsie–looks like Lawn Dart Danny might just be committing a felony:

Beat me to it, GT. Yep, it was just a matter of time before “The Donald” stepped on his crank. He’s just in this for ego and to fling poo, which up till now has been pretty entertaining.
Now the flung poo is stuck on him.

sj

The parallel of what you wrote to our soon disbarred lawyer friend is striking.

Ex-PH2

I wasn’t going to vote for The Donald before he said this. But this part sea;ed it.

‘McCain was held prisoner by North Vietnam for five and a half years, and repeatedly tortured. Trump received several student deferments from Vietnam while in college. After graduating, he received a medical deferment.’

I wonder what clueless, tasteless things he has to say about the survivors of the Bataan march and the Nork POW camps.

He’s made it quite clear that he’s a blowhard and an asshole. Now this confirms his foot-in-mouth disease, which I believe is a permanent condition.

He can sit on a cactus sideways and rotate.

sj

Well said PH2 (as always). He was captured when his plane was shot out of the sky on a dangerous mission. He was an inspiration to the other POW’s when others might have sniveled in a corner. Donald ain’t done shit but make money.

A Proud Infidel®™

While I have nothing but the utmost respect for Senator McCain when it comes to the slow trip through hell he experienced during his POW captivity, I have at least a few truckloads of issues with things he’s done and stood for as a politician. What Donald Trump said about Senator McCain’s Military Career is absolutely INEXCUSABLE, and I will no longer see Trump as anything other than a conceited, spoiled rich pus-headed creampuff!

Silentium Est Aureum

I’m no fan of McCain, but this is low even by political standards.

Ex-PH2

Ditto.

A Proud Infidel®™

I also concur.

Herbert J Messkit

Not sure about trumps age but did he ever have a draft status. Someone should dig into this

CLAW131

Based on what I found, his draft sequence number (based on his birthday in 1944) would have been #356 for the big draft lottery drawing held on 1 Dec 69.

The highest possible number that would have been issued an induction notice was #195.

CLAW131

By contrast, my draft sequence number was 072, but I was already pulling door gunner duties in Vietnam by the time my year group drawing was held.

So much for me avoiding the draft. My dad would have probably beat me to death with a hoe handle if I had tried some shit like that.

Ex-PH2

I said above, HJ, that he got several deferments while he was in college and after he graduated, he got a medical deferment. Must have been his pecker problem – teensy weensy.

Twist

I took the family to sportsman’s warehouse because I told my son-in-law that I would help him pay for the surprise pistol for my daughter. I held strong, but my wife also walked out with a new pistol and ammunition for it.

A Proud Infidel®™

Gotta love it! Mrs. Proud Infidel®™ gets on my case whenever I add to the Infidel Manor®™ ammo stockpile, but my reply every time is that there is NO SUCH THING as having too much ammo on hand, to me that’s like saying there’s too much beer in the cooler when you’re going fishing! I also bought her a nice .380 ACP for her birthday a few years ago, and I keep plenty of ammo for it on hand.

Twist

While my daughter was filling out the paperwork for her new pistol I took the granddaughter to look at fishing gear. When I came back Mrs. Twist was already filling out paperwork for her new Sig Sauer P238. She said it would be easier to carry at work than her .357 or 1911. I knew I married an Alaskan woman for a reason. Heck, she has been dropping hints about getting a new 4-wheeler before moose season starts for about a month now.

A Proud Infidel®™

I remember going through WLC with a Gal from Montana who bragged about her “Hello Kitty” 4-wheeler and AR15, I guess that’s how she kept her brothers from borrowing either one!

Ex-PH2

You can get them with ‘Hello Kitty’? Can you get them with ‘Grumpy Cat’, too?

In the name of political correctness, the Phony Veterans of Foreign War (PVFW) has adopted a new terminology to identify us.

I am not a phony USAF LTC, I am a self identified USAF LTC. Daniel Alan Bernath is a self identified Chief Petty Officer. Derek Church is a self identified Army Ranger.

Rest Well, Sir. You will never be forgotten.

All TAH members are invited to raise their favorite beverage in honor of his memory. (if you are so inclined.)

Thank You .

Stay thirsty my friends.

Raising a large mug of ice tea in his honor.

Given the hour of the day, it will be coffee instead, and a day late. Still, well remembered is well remembered any day of the year.

Thank you, sir. Rest well until we can join you.

Gosh, gee whillikers, that was when I was there, and the 101st Aviation Battalion was located right next to my own unit, the 501st Signal Battalion.

A couple of weeks after that, I went on a thirty day special leave to Israel.

God bless your friend, Mr. Aston, and his loved ones.

Were you in that same unit?

If so, it’s possible, though unlikely, that we might have accidentally crossed paths.
