Something’s in the Way

A sailboat heads toward an iceberg and its rocky look-alike in eastern Greenland’s Scoresby Sund, a Greenland Sea inlet that branches into an intricate network of fjords. Greenland, the world’s largest island, is more than 80 percent covered by ice; however, despite its desolate appearance in this image, the sound is a productive habitat for wildlife, supporting many species of land animals, birds, and marine life.

I don’t know how much time I’ll have to spend on this thing this weekend, it appears that folks have plans for me. So, Merry Christmas to those of you that deserve it.

First
Merry Christmas to all.

Except Dan Bernath. Fuck him.

I hope Santa doesn’t even waste his time giving Dan a lump of coal. Shitbag.

OINK OINK CLAW!

Claw

WRONG!!

You forgot the exclamation point.

Neener-Neener.

My First! is the proper First!

Ex-PH2

Nah, CLAW, you’re 3th! I’m 2nd!

Look! Dragons in the water ahead!!!

Off to bake cookies now!

akpual

Mmmmmmm cookies

Ex-PH2

Tollhouse chocolate chip recipe (on the bag) with dark brown sugar and two teaspoons of vanilla instead of just one. For chewy, 9.5 minutes; crisp, 10 minutes; snappy crisp, 11 minutes. Bag in ziplock bags and keep fresh in the fridge.

Tallywhagger

Parchment paper. It makes all the difference when timing matters. You can off-load a tray of cookies with one slick move and have another parchment paper loaded, already festooned with cookie dough, for a quick reload of the baking sheet.

For those so inclined, a dash of almond extract along with vanilla can bring some happiness to the aroma and taste.

Or, do like Betsy does and eat raw dough. Argh, there are some places even I won’t wander.

akpual

Festooned you say?

Tallywhagger

Haha, well it sounded good when I wrote it. Heineken makes words sound more better.

Turns out that festoon is etymologically derived from or “traces back (by way of French and Italian) to Latin festa, the plural of festum, meaning “festival.” “Festa” is also an ancestor of the English noun “feast.”

Even back in the 1630s folks were transforming nouns into verbs without a thought to monetizing a good time. Or, wasting good parchment paper in wood fired oven.

A Frank Zappa phrase comes to mind:
He turns to us and speaks:
“Some people like cupcakes better. I, for one, care less for them!”

Arrogantly twisting the sterile canvas snoot of a fully charged icing-anointment utensil, he poots forth a quarter-ounce green rosetta near…
(Let’s try that again…)
He poots forth a quarter-ounce green rosetta near the summit of a dense-but-radiant muffin of his own design.

Later he says:
“Some people… some people like cupcakes exclusively, while I myself say there is naught, nor ought there be, nothing so exalted on the face of God’s grey earth as that Prince of Foods… The Muffin!”

Bon appetit, Merry Christmas and pass the whipped cream!

and butter instead of shortening.

mmmm….my wife just found another case of Tollhouse Chips in the freezer that we bought last year.

3/17 Air Cav

Claw…..did you know that Santa does not really use a sleigh! I’ve got it on good authority that he’s actually a Huey driver and that two of his elfs are actually a crewchief and a doorgunner!

Merry Xmas to Charlie and the rest of the TAH crew!

rgr769

I hear he is still disbarred for serious irredeemable conduct as a supposed lawer.

A Proud Infidel®™

I heard rumor it’s likely that he has a ZERO chance of ever being reinstated, let alone being accepted into another State’s Bar. He DID get rejected by the Oregon Bar for manifold reasons:

http://caselaw.findlaw.com/or-supreme-court/1447944.html

“…Admission Denied.”

rgr769

That is my opinion as well. He is never going to be reinstated. I guess he will just have to be satisfied with being a disbarred ex-lawer, besides being a lying poser SOS.

Tallywhagger

I’m waiting to see how long it takes before a civil matter converts to a criminal proceeding, if the poser does not pony-up some hefty fees to the court. Being a 24 kt fuckup does not come cheap and that jackass has no friends in California.

Hondo

I believe you heard correctly, rgr769. According to the website of the State Bar of California, it appears that Daniel A. Bernath is STILL DISBARRED.

ex-OS2

Congrats ChipNASA, I shall overcome next week!

Claw

First!

Ex-PH2

Second!

ex-OS2

Fuck.

Merry Christmas, everyone!

CRAP!!!!! I’ve been riding that F% key for an hour! Shit!

Suck it ChipNASA and CLAW!

But…Merry Christmas Brothers! 😀

It’s all in the timing and pin-point reflexes.

Merry Christmas right back at you. (and Chip too)

3/17 Air Cav

Claw……….I have it on good authority, that Santa does not use a sleigh! He is actually a Huey driver, and his two elves are a crewchief and a doorgunner!

To Charlie and all the crew at TAH, merry Xmas!

Sparks

“Guns…Guns!”

Ex-PH2

For supper: chili, cornbread, celery and carrots, chocolate chip cookies and lots of hot tea.

I have chapters to work on. I love all of you very, very much, but my other people need me, too.

Ex-PH2

Chili is simmering and awesome so far. I started with sirloin cut for carne asada, plus some garlic salt, tomato paste, and now, it is simmering itself into tenderness. Keep it simple. Always.

2/17 Air Cav

Ruling on disputed claim of first.

An exclamation point is not requisite. In fact, no punctuation is required, merely the word “First” or “1st” without more. Chip is officially first in this, the Christmas WOT. This ruling is final and not subject to appeal.

Ex-PH2

So are you telling us that Claw is a 2th and I’m a t’ird????

A Proud Infidel®™

Methinks thou art 3st, Milady.

Claw

Oh, so there has been an unpublished change to the rules.

A year and a half ago you said it had to be capitalized and contain an explanation point.

How much did Chip slip you under the table to be first? Or did he give you the Power Ball numbers? Huh? Huh? Fess up./smile

OWB

So? When the director and arbiter of all things numerical pertaining to this here thing lovingly referred to as the WOT, it be as he say. Period. Next paragraph.

2/17 Air Cav

CLAW: If you wanted an updated set of rules, you should have asked for one. Sorry, pal. That’s the way the Christmas cookie crumbles. Freddie Fingers is a helluva bookie. He had Chip at 4-5, you at 7-5, and ex-OS2 at 6-5. Damn near nailed it.

Ex-Ph2: Three came in at 1:02 p.m., EST. No matter. After first, you are all losers and there is no trophy for losers in this outfit. Sorry.

Claw

“explanation point”? What the Hell?

But I resolved to not be such a WOT Hog and the very first thing I do is break the resolution. So much for will power.

It’s gotta be from getting that extra .000000000002% more daily sunshine now that we’ve entered into winter.

Break out the tan lotion and the tin-foil reflector and watch out for the burn.

Thunderstixx

So is this like a game of Snee-Ho or Calvinball ???

2/17 Air Cav

You all took losing so well.

ChipNASA

NOT SAFE FOR TENDER EARS!!!

Repeat after me….PRESIDENT ELECT TRUMP

Ex-PH2

Y’know, you can just turn the sound down and say things that go with the way she flaps her yap.

Haven’t seen so many 3-year-olds having temper tantrums online in a while. What do their mommies and daddies think off all this? Wouldn’t a good swat to the posterior stop some of that stuff?

26Limabeans

I love watching tv with the sound turned down. You learn so much more.

Ex-PH2

What’s the point of throwing a tanrum if no one is watching you?

https://youtu.be/KpSfThUv_pc

26Limabeans

Gawd, that’s funny. Even the dog is ignoring him.

2/17 Air Cav

Yes, she took that well. Related to ex-OS2?

ex-OS2

I don’t cry when I lose, just curse.

Wait. Has there been a recount yet?

Bernath's Fuel Plan

I thought that I was going to run aground once. That was when I was operating a boat. But, I ran out of fuel. Still no joy, I coasted and ran aground anyway. I would’ve sued the company that made the boat I was operating, but I couldn’t because I’m a real deal disbarred lawyer.

I sue you,

I wonder what The False Commander “Phony” Phil Monkress (CEO of All-Points Logistics) is handing out as bonuses to his nefarious senior staff?

Any ideas?

Claw

Bags-O-Dicks.

Green Thumb

Brown-eyed dudes and red grenadine….

The dildo was dusty but the two-hole was clean….

Phil Monkress and his choice for the “theme” song at All-Points Logistics annual Christmas party.

Just remember out there in TAH Land…Stealin’ (especially APL-style) ain’t easy. It requires a lot of work!

A Proud Infidel®™

I still can’t quit laughing, I wonder how many times someone sent them a Bag of Dicks®™?

2/17 Air Cav

Hey, I have a question. Who’s gonna pick all that crap up? And it wasn’t a waste of $. He got at least one horse-sized dildo and a Bag ‘O Dicks. That’s money well spent for the laughs alone.

A Proud Infidel®™

Not to mention the 55 gallon drum of personal lube someone sent them!

Ex-PH2

A MERRY CHRISTMAS and a Happy and Prosperous New Year to all of the Fine People of TAH®™!!!
Things are getting brighter here at Proud Infidel Manor®™, Mrs Proud Infidel is getting up and around albeit with a walker, she’s healing fast and fine AND I was able to get her out of the house yesterday to take her by her place of work and do some shopping, it was her first time out of the house in eleven days, I know I would have been half past stir crazy by then, so I know she enjoyed the fresh air.

AnotherPat

I miss Hondo.

Merry Christmas, Hondo, wherever you are.

And Merry Christmas to the rest of the wonderful TAH Family. Santa has been good to us.Trump won. The Cubs won. Army beat Navy. Alabama beat Auburn.

And in less than 30 days, BHO will be gone. **Poof*

Did I leave any other “good tidings” out??

rgr769

Would that it were, as some say; but I suspect we will be hearing King Putt shoot off his mouth in the MSM for the next four years. He plans to be the leader of the disloyal opposition to Trump. Anyway, that is my prediction for the new year.

A Proud Infidel®™

I have NO doubt about that. B. Hussein 0bama craves attention like “Blowjob Willie” does Interns, but after January 20, 2017 he will be FORMER POTUS B. Hussein 0bama!

Old Willy boy is probably going nuts now that his lovely wife is always home now.

“lovely wife”, how were you even able to type that without suffering violent regurgitational muscle spasms? I could never do that. You are awesome, Charles W.
I just write “Cankles”, and move on quickly.

He’s probably shitting himself while thinking “HOW THE FUCK am I gonna get some time with an Intern now that she’s home all the time?”.

Yeah, AnotherPat, I suppose all is well or Jonn would clue us in. Still, secret squirrel mission or no, it would be nice for that SOB to check in. Hell, it’s gotten to the point where I miss him.

I wish you all a very Merry Christmas and a wonderful Happy New Year! I can’t tell you how much I love reading all of your posts here, really makes me feel better. One last thing, I hope my brother David “Doc” Shrum gets a bag of dicks and one very large lump of coal dumped right up his ass!!! Merry Christmas to all, and to all a good night!

Sparks

To each of you here in my TAH family, wherever you may be, I want to wish you and your loved ones a wonderful and Merry Christmas. Even for those who do not celebrate or celebrate Festivus For The Rest Of Us, my best wishes are for you all. You all comprise the best family…I never met.

God bless and keep our Soldiers, Sailors, Airmen and Marines who are not home for this holiday. My prayer is they will be safe as they keep us safe. May they come home to us and especially to their loved ones soon.

Claw

Very eloquent, my friend. What you said goes double for me.

Side note: Has the rehab you went through got you all fixed up? Don’t think we ever received a final report from you.

Sparks

Thank you for asking brother. I am okay and okay…is good enough. The medicine I have to take for preventing blood clots causes an unceasing headache. Unfortunately, taking one pill which has this side effect prevents any pain medication from helping it. However I am not complaining at all. It is a small price to pay for being safe when I have prolonged episodes of atrial fibrillation. It is believed the nerve has been mapped which is causing the AF, so after the first of the year I will have an ablation and after 12 months to be sure it is successful, I can come off the anticoagulant. I have a tiny device implanted just under my chest wall called a Medtronics Linq Recorder. Pretty cool tech I must say. It records everything my heart does all day and uploads it at night through the cell system to the doctor’s office for review. Take care Claw and my best to you and yours.

Claw

Allrighty. Got it all and glad to hear you’re on the okay side.

As has been said, every day above ground and vertical is a gravy day.

Same take care and my best right back to you and yours.

charles w

They have come up with some great technology. I have a implantable defibrillator that does the same thing.

Frankie Cee "In the Clear"

Last August, I had a pacemaker inserted, and it, like your Link recorder, can share my vitals with the VA via a cell device. I had blamed my shortness of breath on my lung, which isn’t in the best shape, but the real culprit was my heart rate averaging 30 beats per minute. I could have had the pacemaker procedure several years ago.
I hope your recovery goes well, Sparks.

Eden

Yikes! Y’all are scaring me! I know too much medical stuff now and it doesn’t go over my head anymore. Stay safe, y’all!

Sparks

Thank y’all for your concerns. I hope each of you are doing well also. Frankie…take care soldier. I hope your pacemaker does the trick for you. Like Claw said, every day they don’t throw dirt on me is a good day.

HMCS(FMF) ret

Merry Christmas to everyone here at TAH!

As for Dickless Dan Bernath (aka: Deadbeat Dad), his buttbuddy QuEeFeRs and the other members of the DRG – go fuck yourselves. All Santa is going to leave you fucking assclowns is a ton of reindeer shit for each over of you to step in on Christmas Morning.

Merry Christmas everyone. May the New Year bring you joy and happiness.

It’s actually snowing here and has been for the past couple of hours although no significant accumulation as yet. Hoping there won’t be any as snow belongs in the mountains, not down here near Seattle. I had enough of it after living in Wyoming, Nebraska, and North Dakota to last a lifetime.

Merry Christmas from presently sunny Arizona. Forecast calls for rain and possible snow in the higher elevations over the weekend.

Be safe all.

Merry Christmas. To a great bunch of folks here. From sunny Hinesville Ga.

There’s heavy breathing by the usual crowd in my Hood over a LEO shooting DRT a scumbag multiple times. Both are white, BTW so that’s not a factor. Perp threatened his wife and pointed a pistol at the LEO. LEO plugged him about 6 times. He should have just wounded him say those that have never been shot at.

For anyone still having a problem getting a Christmas present for that special snowflake in their family or social/work circle…

Go to Amazon and search for Butt Hurt Balm. Especially made to help Snowflakes recover from the chapped ass resulting from various triggers.

Re Hondo. Did I miss something? He ok, whoever he is?

Frankie Cee "In the Clear"

Is it possible that Hondo has gone dark to try to figure out who he actually is. There have been so many mistaken identities and he may be concerned that he has assumed one of those identities.
But, in reality, (or something like that), I am Hondo.

68W58

Hondo? That’s easy, he’s Don Ho.

sj

I apologize. I said “he”. I have no idea how Hondo identifies. In fact, maybe the absence is because how he/she/it identifies is being altered as we speak.

One thing I am sure of is the absence is not because the DRG comethed.

OWB

Shouldn’t that be “camethed?”

I’m shocked that Jonn did not lead the WOT off with the news that Jane “Fucking” Fonda celebrates her 78th birthday today.

If I may, I want to look back at a post on Enrico Rojo, the Marine who was killed while trying to attend a driver whose vehicle had flipped over. The original post is here:

http://valorguardians.com/blog/?p=69496

The comments on TAH were as what should be expected – respectful, thoughtful and meaningful.

Unfortunately, those sentiments did not extend to the comments made on the cited article from CBS in Los Angeles:

Warden Clyffe
December 20, 2016 at 6:38 pm

Only a Marine can get blown up by an IED and not show any discernible brain damage as compared with his pre-blast cognitive abilities. One need only read these comment forums to realize that Marines are nothing more than louder-mouthed versions of the imbeciles and societal failures that serve on Navy surface ships.

I know this is a time of year for peace on earth and goodwill toward men, but I have real trouble extending that “peace” and that “goodwill” to the scumbags who would post those comments.

Mere words cannot express my anger and outrage at these vomitous masses of ground up excrement that would think, much less utter and much less publish for the world to see their lack of class, decency, and humanity.

These are people from a different species than I, and there is a real part that thinks vermin should be exterminated.

We now return you to your glad tidings and recounting of Christmas projects, traditions and wishes.

Merry Christmas to you all.

Ex-PH2

gitarcarver, I have run into people like warden clyffe and nunya for decades. It does not matter to them how good the deed may be, or how good the person was who did it. Their response is always the same: find fault with it somehow, period. This is not new. It has always existed. These are the same people who will gawk at a horrific accident and block traffic while doing so, but will never stop to help anyone even a little bit. They aren’t even curmudgeons. They are simply the pond scum that shows up and spoils things for the rest of us. They take pleasure in it, too. I wrote an article about grinches. This is where they come from Sometimes, I think they have scorecards.

The best thing to do is let it go and find the good people to wish a happy holiday to.

John Robert Mallernee

“HALLELUJAH”

I’ve heard about this baby boy
Who’s come to earth to bring us joy
And I just want to sing this song to you
It goes like this, the fourth, the fifth
The minor fall, the major lift
With every breath I’m singing Hallelujah
Hallelujah, Hallelujah, Hallelujah, Hallelujah

A couple came to Bethlehem
Expecting child, they searched the inn
To find a place for You were coming soon
There was no room for them to stay
So in a manger filled with hay
God’s only Son was born, oh Hallelujah
Hallelujah, Hallelujah, Hallelujah, Hallelujah

The shepherds left their flocks by night
To see this baby wrapped in light
A host of angels led them all to You
It was just as the angels said
You’ll find Him in a manger bed
Immanuel and Savior, Hallelujah
Hallelujah, Hallelujah, Hallelujah, Hallelujah

A star shown bright up in the east
To Bethlehem, the wisemen three
Came many miles and journeyed long for You
And to the place at which You were
Their frankincense and gold and myrrh
They gave to You and cried out Hallelujah
Hallelujah, Hallelujah, Hallelujah, Hallelujah

I know You came to rescue me
This baby boy would grow to be
A man and one day die for me and you
My sins would drive the nails in You
That rugged cross was my cross, too
Still every breath You drew was Hallelujah
Hallelujah, Hallelujah, Hallelujah, Hallelujah
Hallelujah, Hallelujah, Hallelujah, Hallelujah

I had the great pleasure of picking up one of my sons yesterday afternoon as he arrived from Ft. Carson to spend a long Christmas weekend. The ride to his twin brother’s home out in Suffolk County, LI took almost 2 hours.

The most unpleasant part of the day, besides the horrendous traffic going Eastbound, was my initial arrival at LaGuardia Airport, Queens, NY, which I have not had the displeasure “visiting” in years.

I remember not too long ago when Pres. Elect Trump commented that LaGuardia was like visiting a third world country it was so bad and a national embarrassment! I think Mr. Trump may have actually “played down” the severity of this national eyesore and disgrace.

LaGuardia is just awful, ugly and disgusting! The Christmas season prevents me from being a little profane to describe it further, but truthfully – IT SUCKS!

Ladies and gentlemen……if you ever have to fly into NY try to avoid LaGuardia…..use JFK (which is a little better) or if convenient, LI MacArthur Airport (45 miles due East).

Once again, Merry Christmas to all!

2/17 Air Cav

True story. Happened yesterday. I called the IRS yesterday to ask a question. Nothing on the menu pertained to my question and there was no “for all other” option. So, I picked a number and waited, and waited, and waited, and hung up. Got in the car and drove to the local IRS office. There was one other person in the waiting area. There was also a guard who asked if he could help me. I said that I was there to ask a question. He asked if I had an appointment and said that there is no longer walk-in service, that an appointment is needed. “Just to ask a question?” Yes, he said.
