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;

William Derek Church and Kiaya Church were trying to go for a walk when they came up on a dog that was licking its own nuts. Kiaya turned to William Derek Church and said, “I wish you could do that!” William Derek Church replied, “I also wish I could do that, but I don’t think that dog would appreciate a North American land whale going for its nuts. I’m bound to be torn to shreds, like what’s happening to me on This Aint Hell.” 😈
NH. Play stupid games. Win stupid prizes.
Pfft…”sexy garb” in my house consists of my boxer shorts with a skunk on the ass and the caption, “It wasn’t me!”
Happy Valentine’s Day everyone!
@7 Enigma
Not really a new name. I’ve had it on here for a long time. 🙂
The name was really just a nod to the BC comic strip, where the clam is always walking when nobody is looking.

But, heck, I’m a chick, so clams…well, for the dirty old men who enjoy it, so be it.
@10 Sparks
go back and re-read the Boyles thread: http://valorguardians.com/blog/?p=39691
Comment @223 by OWB. I think you missed that one and Comment @225 by clamsgotlegs
You are 2 for 2 on mistaking a TAH lady as a man. doh!
I don’t understand why you were embarrassed in the first place. What was more embarrassing is when you said that stuff thinking it was to a man. Now THAT was the painkillers talking. LOL
BTW: sorry to burst your bubble, but I’m not Darryl Hannah tall. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wNcDwin4BbY
Sparks, darlin’ (as we say in my part of the south) I will say I think you need to lay off the pain killers when you post. You get a little happy happy joy joy silly. (I say that with love and respect.)
Lastly, can we stop with the lurking to get the x00 comment numbers? Since some of the recent posers are getting national attention, some of the comments are diluting the TAH message, IMHO.
XXX
OOO
clamsgotlegs
P.S. Thin Mints taste awesome frozen.
@27.
He claims Commander.
Also, he was a Commander of ST-4. I assume that is a 0-4 or 0-5 in the Navy, thus Commander in deference.
But I feel your pain.
So how about “The False Commander” Phil Monkress?
I’ll go with an open thread for a first post. Lurking for quite awhile. Ive never served a day, but thought that I shared your collective disdain for valor thieves. I was wrong. I didn’t get it until two weeks ago. Unexpected, I inherited all of the records, orders, mail, medals,etc. of my great uncle who was shot down in a P51 over Germany in May 44. Spent a gut wrenching week reading the hundreds of letters between he and his mother. Read the War Department letter officially declaring him KIA 6 months after he went down. Have a shadow box with a DFC (2OLC), PH and Air Medal (2 OLC). Now I get it a lot more. I would no more walk out of my house with one of those ribbons on my jacket to “honor” this man I never met than I’d walk out buck ass naked. Much less the tattoo, surplus uniform, biker vet vest assbaggery (learned that one from you guys) these frauds are perpetuating. Now I’m pissed off, too. Thank each and every one of you. I’ll be here watching you guys bust these losers and may throw a comment in now and then. Got some questions about some of these records, but I’ll save them for later.
Clairatt, if you need help with those records, send them to me anytime. And welcome from the harsh darkness of lurkerdom.
Thin Mints are meant to be eaten right out of the freezer on a hot summer day. They also go well with ice cream, and of course, milk as the old standby.
BTW: A very Happy Valentines Day to the great ladies on this site!!
Did anyone see the testimony of the nominee for AMB to Norway?
I would not let this guy be the AMB to the planet Pluto!
Norway is up in arms … The video has gone viral …
John McCain (giving him credit) said, “I will not support this normination … I have nothing further” after snapping it off in his ass of the moron who has never been to Norway and referred to the “President of Norway.”
BREAKING NEWS:
Nowway is a monarchy … No President!
There is a steady stream of these MORONS trying to get through confirmation hearings … All are having trouble with basic information, facts and using crayons!
@24.
I would not call you guys Turds.
I am at home making a pot roast. How romantic, I guess.
Thus I am posting as I let the crock pot simmer and drink beer.
The only Turds I have seen today are the ones I saw on the sidewalk from my neighbor’s dog.
Thus I thought of Phildo.
#49: If they know who this person is, why haven’t they taken action yet? WTF?
@50 Master Chief I have never even thought of questioning you in any regards but I have to ask…What the heck were you thinkin’ Chief?! If my wife showed up with Victoria’s Secret…well let’s just say…she has never shown up with Victoria’s Secret. All the Secret I need is between the sheets in the stuff God gave us to wear. 😀
Enigma, your son is in my prayers as are you and your bride. Hope all remains peaceful for him.
Sparks shoot me an email. I have some info.
I wonder if Matthew Beck got a “Valentine Medal” tattooed on his flaccid chest or expansive ass today?
@39
Only those who haven raised can wear the ring.
@54 Clamsgotlegs, I’ve been out for a while and just catching up. Sorry it took so long to respond. I feel like I got called to the principals office. 😀 Yep, I’m 2 for 2! Did not realize until reading that post again, that OWB is a lady. Again, shock and awe on my part.
Pain meds…I try very hard but have to take them on a regular basis to stay ahead of the pain until surgery. You are right though, they tend to make me happy-happy, joy-joy kinda. So I will take that in note and work to keep it under control. I am by nature though a silly heart and have a vivid sense of humor.
On being a post whore…as Master Chief referred to me, I give you my word I will knock it off. Your point is well taken about the content of the thread being foremost. From now on, if I hit one, it will be a legitimate post.
So, to end, are we all good and okay now? I don’t like feeling I may have offended you or…anyone.
Do have a Happy Valentine’s Day Clamsgotlegs! 😀 😀 😀
@63 Master Chief I sent one to you.
@66 Sparks
Everything is good. 😉
As for the comments content…we are all guilty–myself included. It’s just that with the national attention we are getting, some of the other websites comments are slamming us on content and I just don’t want the TAH message diluted, IMHO.
Let’s all just try to keep it more professional…unless there is a neuticle involved. Then I make no promises! 🙂
@68 Clamsgotlegs Do you agree though that the weekend open threads are “open”. I hope so because I get a big kick out of them. 😀
I see Sparks got number “69” and talking about being open. Is that an invitation?
TAH is pretty safe compared to some “news” websites were trolls reign free to comment – we police ourselves and keep others in check. Some of those troll comments, from other sites, have, in the past, made my wife’s blood boil especially when people are insensitive to child deaths, abductions, and other misfortunate events involving kids. She cannot fathom how people can be so incredibly cruel in their comments to and about innocent children.
@56 Clairatt, Happy Valentine’s Day and I agree with Jonn, welcome to TAH. I thank your great uncle for his service. For giving the “last full measure of devotion” to our country. My honor and respect to him and you for carrying on his memory.
@71 Brownwolf, yea I noticed I hit “69”…cool. I am a pretty open person but not…”Navy Open”, if you know what I mean. 😀
WTF is wrong with “Navy Open” anyway?
Let it never be said that I’m not a giver.
@74 NHSparky Better to give…thank to receive, especially in the Navy! 😀
@70 & 73, thanks. I have a massive scan job ahead of me with all of this paper. Looking forward to it.
yes, Sparks. The open thread is obviously open.
Here, have a Snickers.

@77.
I prefer Zero Bars.
More my speed.
@75.
You might need to change those plugs.
*BREAKING NEWS ALERT*! All shipments of the mouthwatering, weight inducing, make ya wanna slap ya mama Girl Scout “Thin Mint” cookies are hereby confiscated by order of the US Cookie Provost Marshal (USCPM Gen Order 101225777 and are to be stored in streetsweepers highly secured, impenetrable evidence locker.
I love “Boils” hat.
Turd.
Now that was bold, huh? Ducks for cover behind a cement filled dumpster…8-)
Jonn, can you add UPDATE links to the original Bolyes post with the new Boyles pictures/threads?
Thanks! XO
I have confiscated all Thin Mints within my realm for up close and personal consumption, as well as all Thin Mints at all Jewel, Safeway, Aldi, and independent/other grocery stores.
On top of that, I stole all the Thin Mints I could get out of the back of the Girl Scout Cookie Delivery Armored Car fleet.
Just stay away from my Thin Mint hoard, or I will turn all of you into dog biscuits and open the kennel gates.
Where was I?
Oh, yeah, now I know where I was.
This concerns a video recently posted elsewhere made by a couple of secret squirrels on a stakeout for nuts. It involved an inebriated gentleman wearing what appeared to be pink ladies’ underwear engaging in coitus with a Ford F-150 pickup trick… er, truck. Truck, that’s it. At some point, he spanks the hood of the truck.
I just want to know if spanking the hood was supposed to make the truck go faster.
The guy sitting in the background, behind Boyles hat, looks like that other poser Peedo Lawler with hit PH hat collection. Two shitbirds with one shot.
I love you “This Ain’t Hell” (TAH), but there is a Heaven.
Just saying.

My Pot Roast was mediocre.
Can you tell?
Wow, TC, LOOK AT YOU ALREADY, you’ve fit in here with us like biscuits with sausage gravy!!
@19: Jumpin’ geebus!!! Navy’s at it again!!!
Right back at ya, big fella! 😛
83yrs young and Ralph Waite is sporting a red leather tie! It continues to amaze me how many of the stars in Hollywood are like the millions of vets in the US and don’t go around talking about it everyday. I didn’t know Waite was a Marine anymore than I knew Sid Caesar was a Coastie.
Cliaratt,
Welcome.
A few years ago I received an old worn paste board suitcase from the 40s. Inside it was everything to do with my uncle who was killed in ww2. Even his little black book.
Now I did not know the man, he had died long before I was born nut in going over his things, letters ect I dod learn about him.
I am doing some writing. I have stories of current and past warriors and their families. I would love to talk to you about your things.
the dude in the photo is almost half as fat as the widebody Giduck I just flushed. The worst posers still take John Giducks!
RE: William Derek Church, aka Waddlin’ Willie the Wotund Wanger:
How about Y’all sending this lowlife, william derek church, an e-mail expressing your thoughts on his still claiming Ranger, as in the header to his gmail correspondence. And please, if you do, please mention me, Frankie Cee, so that he can see that I will not relent.
His e-mail address is: wdchurch76@gmail.com
And the header to his e-mail is as shown here:

“No thanks. I’m done with this. Stop your harassment.”
Thanks, People. Your participation is appreciated.
@77 Thanks clamsgotlegs! I love snickers.
I didn’t want to inject humor into the thread about the Air Force gal, licking the POW sign so I will put it here. Being an old Air Force type I thought it funny, especially since this gal is Security Police.
Weapons training in the Air Force:
😀
2 things:
1.) @ Valkyrie: If you are going to wear your dad’s Masonic ring, put it on a necklace and wear it like you would your boyfriend’s/husband’s school ring, etc. Since women can’t be Mason’s, that ought to clear up any misconceptions from someone seeing it. If your brother wears it and isn’t a Mason, potentially he could be treated like some stolen valour guy. Masons have ways of finding out the legitimacy of another’s claims. 🙂
2.) Girl Scout Cookies. I have refused to purchase any for the past three years, since I learned that a portion of those sales the Girl Scouts keep are given as a donation to Planned Parenthood. PPH is one of the few organizations that have partnered with the Girl Scouts. They even listed that horror-bag jackwagon Wendy Davis as one of their women to look up to. So, the Girl Scouts get no money from me. Likewise, because they are not letting queers in, the Boy Scouts are off my donation/support list.
For those who still love GS Cookies, WalMart has the same stuff in their own brand in the cookie/snack aisle. WalMart’s Thin Mint cookie (I forget their brand name for it) tastes exactly like the GS one, with the same structure/consistency.

@85 Green Thumb Great video. I’ll admit it, I liked KISS. “Detroit Rock City” and my favorite, the only slow ballad they ever did, “Beth”. Beautiful orchestration. Found here:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PlZ7mTL4jRY
Enjoy
@86 😀
@86 Proud UUUMMMMMMMMMM! You said, biscuits and sausage gravy! Now I’m hungry again!
@97 Sparks,
C’mon over, shipmate. I just finished making a pot of sausage gravy and a pot of black coffee. I don’t have any biscuits to hand, but I have some thick slices of toast to use. 🙂
At #39, Val call the Eastern Star number in your phone book about the wearing of the Mason’s ring. No women can be Masons. The Eastern Star is the Women’s Aux. I tried to reach a Past Master and District Inspector for YFI, no asnwer to phone call. I will keep trying. You were given a special honor, most Masons are buried with their rings in Oklahoma. Joe
@94 AW1 Tim,
Can you provide a source linking the Girl Scouts of America and Planned Parenthood. I’m interested in reading that material that you were exposed to.
The Girls Scouts deny such allegations of “partnership or relationship” with Planned Parenthood on their website at;
http://www.girlscouts.org/program/gs_central/mpmf/faqs.asp#a2
Tim, it sounds like that old song and dance of “organizations” trying to re-enslave women to the kitchen and housework by disenempowering them at every turn by striping them of their independence.
My grandma was a WW2 Marine and throughout her life she constantly had men telling her to get herself back in the kitchen were she belonged. Some men and/or organizations just don’t want to see free and independently thinking women amongst them.
Waiting for your reply.
Green Thumb, what happened to your pot roast?
No one has answered my question http://valorguardians.com/blog/?p=39814&cpage=2#comment-1134881 about the drunk spanking the truck hood.
AW1Tim, the Boy Scouts have allowed their first ghey member to join. Did you mean ‘not’ or ‘now’?
The rumor mills that exist on the internet are as widespread as the sites that debunk them. I got a ‘chain’ e-mail from someone and I sent it on, then realized it didn’t make any sense and did the search on it, finding that its ‘rumor’ was completely false and had been debunked 8 yars ago.
the so-called progressives are becoming more and more disliked. Apparently, they think that their 1st amendment rights include the ‘right to be rude’, which is not true, but they are so loud in their corner of the room that they try to drown out everyone else. Instead of making a point, they come off as a bunch of self-involved, spoiled, self-centered brats, which says it all about them.
And for what it’s worth, being a girl, my place is where I say it is, and if any silly, insecure men don’t like it, they can go pound sand sideways. 🙂
Now if you’ll excuse me, I’m going to go polish my sword.
