Weekend Open Thread
Girls with time machine and boys with time machine. (The Donald Win)
One of the memes making its rounds is the “boys versus girls time travel” meme. The top panel is what girls would do. The bottom panel is what boys would do. In this meme, the woman finds her grandmother as a younger woman. In the bottom panel, the man goes back in time and smokes Karl Marx. Enjoy your weekend.

NO! NO! NO!
Shullbit!
Congrats, I guess…
Have a great weekend FA (and all y’all!)!
Stop dude.
You are obviously cheating.
It iz mathematically impossible to win the wot that many times.
Fast ISP and preloaded name, email data fields.
It’s ok, there’s always next week.
He’s got the 5G to the home.
Slow Joe:
I tried to drop you a hint this morning.
KoB is not real.
He is one of those Robots that are slowly replacing Soldiers on the Battlefield..
How else can he keep being “First” on the WOT?
😉😎
I’m thinking the same thing.
He’s just being greedy now.
Obviously something is amiss here with thirty first’s.
He should sit it out to let others get a chance.
It’s not even worth trying anymore.
“Obviously something is amiss here with thirty first’s” — Actually, although the computerized “Open Thread” category says there are 56 “Firsts” attributed to a certain individual since 30 Nov 18, the hand written Coveted Book of WOT Firsts tells a different story.
A full explanation is available upon request./s
Cheater!!!
I just knew you and Dog were hiding in the bushes but Jeff is a surprise.
One of these days…
5th/77th FA- I was wondering if you would win. Nice work. Did you ever call into radio contests where the “The first five callers are winners?” You have a gift.
First!
Would smoke Marx, and get some original Coca-cola.
Then find baby Adolph, even tho without Marx there wouldn’t be a rise of those Nat-so-nice guys.
History hurts.
Don’t forget to smoke Mao. With Mao smoked, there would have been no Long March and the chicoms would have been annihilated. With unified nationalist China, perhaps no Japanese invasion of China in 1937. China would have evolved into a great representative republic, like Taiwan or ROK of today, and America its greatest ally and trading partner, and NO CHICOM FLU PANDEMIC!!
1st
First
dAMN IT! mISSED IT BY that much!
fOURTH
third?
Cheater!!!
Ah ha, well only a couple of minutes late.
Congrats 5th/77th FA
Your F5 key is the only thing that takes a harder beating than anything else…..ifyouknowwhatImeanandIthinkyoudoLOL
I was kinda thinking about trying to get First but then I wasn’t trying hard so….(yeah yeah yeah excuses excuses excuses)
Cheers everyone and I’m still waiting for the HoI to go live and also checking in about anywhere else I may have a mention I need to check out.
let me know.
Chip
Hell I can’t even give this damn Crown away. I have literally been gone all day, busy as a one armed Gun Bunny, checking out the Outposts, walked in opened this thing up. Even gave a 20 count before I hit the Post. BAM, the TAH Friday Weekend Open Thread.
Secure the Guns! Roh-Dog, take the damn thing, that way it stays in the Army Family! Take me all day to play catch-up on what I’ve missed, still have to unload the Ark.
Burgers and fries from the American Owned Dairy Queen all around!
I’m trying. AT&T is about to get fired, forreal.
Dairy Queen of Battle is a go-to.
If only they served The High Life.
Note to self: beer float tonite with vanilla caramel ice cream and a splash of Kentucky’s finest.
I know that in my AO AT&T stinks, they keep cutting off the internet several times a day, their “speeds” are just above dead-in-the-water.
Sounds like it’s not just here. Screw’em.
I’m done. It makes me want to cry during the trading day, probably costing too.
FWIW, someone did a test of the ATT “5G” ‘service’ in 21 cities – and it was slower than 4G in all but one of them. The reporters say it is because ATT’s equipment is not (yet) able to handle 5G.
That is, they sold the service then installed the equipment to provide it.
AT&T’s ‘service’ is like a bull serves a herd of heffers.
Same thing happened when the jump was made to 4G LTE. T-Mobile and AT&T both ran quasi-4G, HSPA+ or 3.5G. For a good while it was more reliable and gave better speeds than the LTE until that backbone was better built.
I needed to upgrade my phone, so I said to heck with it and got a 5G capable phone. When will we have it at Casa de Sparky?
2025. Maybe. Verizon–we’re not satisfied till you’re not satisfied!
And those fries come from Canada:
https://www.narcity.com/deals/ca/dairy-queen-canada-is-helping-out-canadian-farmers-by-offering-free-fries
Not to worry though because the majority of Maine crop is going to
McCains in Canada anyway. Tough year for taters here.
Burger King and Lays also use Maine/Canadian taters.
Harvest is going on right now before the drought kills everything.
Want fries with that?
The King of Battle is first again! That crown, scepter and throne must never get old! In recognition of this continuing achievement, I present to you all my latest excursion into the wild world of trivia! All hail the King of Battle, King of Firsts in the WOT! DID YOU KNOW…? Did an episode of “The Twilight Zone” win an Academy Award instead of an Emmy Award? By Commissioner Wretched Well, how do you like those apples? This Saturday, I get to celebrate yet another revolution of the Earth around the Sun with me still aboard. Yes, it’s another birthday – my 62nd. To be brutally honest with you, I had no idea I’d stick around this long. As my younger sister would say, “If I’d have known I was going to live this long, I’d have taken better care of myself.” She has a lot of good sense, that girl. When I was a child, I never thought of myself as an old man. Now, as an old man, I remember my days as a child very fondly. Ah, well. Life goes on … and so does trivia! So let’s go on to it, shall we? Did you know … … the first animated television series to air in prime time was “The Flintstones”? It premiered on ABC in 1960 and has been on the air in one form or another ever since, either syndicated reruns or new, more modern episodes. Producers William Hanna (1910-2001) and Joseph Barbera (1911-2006) pitched the show to the network for eight weeks before executives agreed to put the show on the air. (Perseverance leads to a “Yabba-Dabba-Doo” moment!) … for a five-year period, Webster’s Dictionary had a word in it that did not exist? The word is “dord” and it appeared in the book from 1934 to 1939. It was created accidentally by the book’s chemistry editor, who sent in a slip reading, “D or d, cont/density.” The idea was to add “density” to the list of things the letter “d” could stand for. But an editor misinterpreted the slip as a word,… Read more »
“The Flintstones”?
Wilma was a bitch but Betty was hot.
Had to love Betty’s giggle …
Betty’s Voice was provided by the actress who poryrayed Jethro Bodine’s Mom (Beverly Hillbillies) as well as Kate on Petticoat Junction.
Bea Benedict.
And Now You Know.
I won a free movie ticket for providing that answer on a Radio Show in the 1970s.
Close … Bea Benaderet.
She was the female Mel Blanc and voiced characters he could not, like ‘Granny’ in the Tweety Pie cartoons. She was also offered the role of Ethyl Mertz first but turned it down.
“Flinstones”.
“We’ll Have A Gay Ole Time”…
The Cavemen Honeymooners…
Ah, yes … back when “gay” meant something fun for everyone.
Back in the Good Old Days when “blowing a tranny” meant that you had serious car trouble while racing!
Now d-rats use it as proof of qualifications to be president…..

Wait…….what?
Oh Great Wretched Commissioner, where does one of my earliest cartoon memories fit into this “first animated TV series”?
I remember watched “Crusader Rabbit & Tiger Rags” as a knee-high young’un on Cpt Kangaroo. And it was a series.
Very crude by today’s standards, but it kept me entertained as a child.
And speaking of………..What about Betty Boop (1920s), Thimble Theater (Popeye) (1930s?-60s), MGM (Tom & Jerry) (40s-60s), Warner Bros (Bugs Bunny) (40s-60s)?
Did I leave out “Tom Terrific” and “Felix the Cat” (and his magical bag of tricks)?
Clutch Cargo.
Johnny Quest.
Beanie and Cecil.
ALL Loony Tunes ROCK.
ALL OF THEM.
Thundar the Barbarian and Space Ghost.
Captain Video, Hopalong Cassidy, Roy Rogers and Dale (and Bullet), Gene Autry, Sky King, Fury, My Friend Flicka….
Now you’re making the old Commissioner tear up with memories of boyhood spent before the tube …
Black and White TV with 3 Channels.
No remote.
Ending the day with the Indian in the Middle Test Pattern.
No remote? Not in any home that had child(ren). It was, “This is no good, get up and change the channel”.
Tom Corbet space cadets, Capt. Midnight, Tales of the Texas Rangers with each Saturday would show an 1800’s Texas Rangers story then the next Saturday there would be a modern Texas Rangers story.
Penny from Sky King!

I have a DVD collection of all of the episodes of “Science Fiction Theater.” As a kid I always wanted to go into Truman Bradley’s studio and see all that scientific stuff!
Captain Gallant of the Foreign Legion
Note that the item says the first animated series in *prime time.* Crusader Rabbit (an early Jay Ward creation) and the others were mostly confined to prime-access and Saturday mornings.
“episode of “The Twilight Zone” won an Oscar?”
OMG!
CW: That story was a Jeooardy Question 2-3 nights ago!
I got the answer correct: “Brice”.
The other ninja family members drew blanks.
I said “Are you SERIOUS?”
I then told the ninja family the ENTIRE Twilight Zone Story and then shared that I had to read that short story in High School.
Best Twilight Zone Episode EVER.
Especially the End.
The ninja family now knows that short Civil War story that occurred in Roll Tide Country.
HAPPY BIRTHDAY, YOUNGSTER!!
😉😎🎂🍺
Many thanks for the birthday wishes!
Happy Birthday to the Whippersnapper of All Things Trivial, getting real close to the full benefits Socialable Nosecurity. Best of luck getting to collecting age, AND collecting at least as much as you have paid in. Hope you have many more, mainly so we can keep getting the Trivia Columns! 😆 Ambrose Bierce, he actually lived thru many of the things he wrote about as a Federal Soldier during the late unpleasantness of ’61-’65. I have most of his works in my library and have visited many of the places where they took place. I also remember the FIRST showing of the Owl Creek Bridge Episode back yonder, and a recent re-broadcast of it on late night METV. Yes to Betty (Ruble and Boop) and yep…Mary Ann over Ginger. And Dana Delany And Angie Harmon And, well you get the picture. And NO, I do not have the fastest inherwebz service around; it’s a Windstream CO, copper twisted pair, 6-9 meg with no preloaded FIRST/Screen Name/E-mail or anything. Just the Blessing of the Good Lord and payback for all those YEARS that I lurked running 5+ days behind the dropping of the Friday Open Thread. Pro tip that may help. FIRST…Clear ALL of your browsing data! All of it. Most people have no idea how much garbage is buried in their machine. If you are using WiFi, make sure you have a strong signal to it. If you are using a router, dust off the connectors. May want to go out to the outside box and make sure those connections are good, tight, and CLEAN. Get a feel for the time that the thread will drop. This new afternoon time has thrown folks off, so it’s actually less people trying now than before when it dropped around 1 pm. And as always, a substantial donation of frosty Yuenglings to the King of Battle, The King of First may get him out of the running. Today, seriously, Ms Lady Friend had just drove me back to FB Magnolia and she wanted to see the site. I opened up the Chromie, blinked… Read more »
Thank you for the birthday wishes! I am spending the weekend in Huntsville, Alabama, where I will spend my natal day at the Space and Rocket Center and Museum.
I looked into going ahead and starting my SS benefits but found I make too much money at my newspaper, radio and tour guide jobs. Funny that … it’s the first time I’ve ever been told I make too much money. The ex-Mrs. Wretched keeps telling me I don’t make enough.
While you’re there, tell the A-12 Blackbird on display there hello for me.
Roger that!
I could have sworn it winked at me when I told it you sent your best …
Swing over to the regional HQ at All-Points Logistics.
Walk in the lobby and head to the men’s room and back up the stall.
But be careful, Huntsville is where Phildo resides. Hell, with any luck, you might actually see him!
That would be an incredible birthday gift!
Huntsville,Alabama..
One of the places the ninja family thought of as a place to retire..
😊
It has changed so much. Lived there as an Army Brat. Miltary Quarters we lived in early 60s are now torn down and gone.
There was no I-565 or I-65.
Space and Rocket Center was on an old Governor’s Drive. No Interstate.
Have wonderful memories of that place. In a Valley. Monte Sano Park.
TV Stations: Channel 19, 31 and 48.
Heck, I remember when Elvis came to Huntsville. He stayed at a Hilton Hotel, Downtown Huntsville. Performed at the Von Braun Civic Center near Big Springs park off of Clinton Ave or Andrew Jackson Way.
Thank You for sharing again, CW…enjoy your Birthday, You Youngster, You!
And your SSN? Well, the ninjas are a bit older than you and we still have put off collecting it because if we did, we would have to pay MORE taxes! (We still work).
Don’t forget to say ROLL TIDE ROLL when you get to Huntsville! Stay away from those crazy War Chickens!
😉😎
I don’t follow football, so I think I’ll be safe from tides and war chickens … and thank you for the birthday wishes! Huntsville’s a pretty nice town so far.
Don’t sweat it.
The Tide rolls in, then recedes…
Ah yes, Ambrose Bierce…wrote a book called “The Devil’s Dictionary.” A couple of choice definitions:
Lawyer – One who is skilled in circumventing the law.
And for our resident Redleg:
Cannon – A tool used in the rectification of national boundaries.
Mr. Bierce was a very cynical man who disappeared (presumed dead) under mysterious circumstances while in Mexico during the Revolution.
If I remember right, The Flintstones was also the first TV show to depict a married couple sleeping in the same bed.
You are indeed correct, Mason!
Linky for Bierce;
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ambrose_Bierce
KoB…
I went back and could not believe I typed “Brice” and not “Bierce”!
BEST War Between The States Short Story Ever.
Have tried to get others to read that story AND watch the Twilight Zone episode…So Powerful…
Thank You for the Linky…could not believe this was on Jeopardy the other night…

Nothing like seeing cartoon characters hawking cigarettes! They also did Busch beer commercials.
Yeah, voter fraud is exaggerated.

That is Longview, TX, about halfway between Dallas and Shreveport.
Hack Stone is late to the game because things are quite hectic at the proud but humble woman owned business that sells software to the Federal Government, what with the new Fiscal Year just around the corner. The Vice President thinks we could make our sales quota for the year if we implement a sales strategy similar to how the Hare Krishne’s would sell their books at the Los Angelas Airport. So if you get accosted by someone trying to sell you some expired Red Hat software as you try to enter the Metro at Judiciary Square, you can thank Paul.
Foliage season has kicked of in Vermont and N.H enjoy it if you can. WINTER is COMEING!
The maples are turning here in CT.
The out-of-towners are clogging the streets and making a mess out of my berg.
Thank the heavens fall is but a few weeks out of the year!
Sapper and Roh…
I remember traveling to Maine via Interstate 95 through the New England States this time of year.
So Gorgeous the colors.
God at work with His paintbrush.
Thank You for sharing.
Up heah above the DMZ the colors are spectacular and quite early.
Extreme drought going on but the days have been beautiful.
We’re gonna pay….
Swamp Ash trees started almost a month ago. And in a month, we’ll be we’ll past peak.
And no busloads of bluehairs or foreign leaf peepers this year. That’ll screw the folks dependent on tourism in the North Country.
Late to the party.
Out running chores.
All is well in the Graybeard Compound AO.
Squirrel season opens in 6 days, archery season for whitetails in 8.
Y’all have a great weekend.
Graybeard…
Thank You again for letting us know you and your love ones have been ok.
The ninja family thinks and pray for the Graybeard family when we see the floods, rains tornados and hurricanes in your AO.
Have a great weekend!
Thanks, ninja.
All prayers are appreciated, because we really need them!
The only downer is that the Wuhan virus is still keeping me from my brother in the nursing home, but they are doing a great job there.
Whoohooo!
I received notification that I scored an antlerless deer permit for the Sam Houston National Forest this year!
Now if I can just find those pesky deer!
My covered bride just ate $6K worth of mountain bikes from the top of a Mercedes (Mass) sprinter van.
+500 for the bridge.
You need to check out the 11 foot 8 bridge videos on YouTube!
https://youtu.be/_osCPYPywnU
I’d hate to be the one explaining this to the 1SG!
This is cool. Watch how well Elton John’s Tiny Dancer playing in the background syncs up w/ Donald Trump’s reaction to being notified of RBG’s death. The mood is like from a movie.
Devtun,
Thank You for sharing this…the video indeed is touching.
Solid.
He really meant that.
And then the never-trumpers claim he is not presidential.
Looks like our resident ‘Mostly Peaceful Rioters’ have upped their tactics, cutting people off in trucks and mobbing them after if they try to flee the horde. Video looked like it was from that Dawn of the Dead remake.
Over and under before a larger group finds out “Don’t stand out in the road, that’s where the cars is.” or they get lit the hell up with strategies like that?
Saw the incidents from LA last night.
When the granola crunches turn on you, you’re in big trouble.
I left out Crusader Rabbit, Mickey Mouse Club, Zorro and Sea Hunt, McHale’s Navy, and Hennessey (Jackie Cooper).
Ricochet Rabbit, Magilla gorilla, Tennesee Tuxedo and Chumley.
When I saw Dave’s Video, I thought “Seahunt”!!!!
And then Llyod had to do the “AIRPLANE” movie (“I picked a bad time to quit sniffing glue”) and the “HOT SHOT” movie (channeling Mick, AW1Ed, KoB and Mason…”The Danger Zone”)
AWWWW SHIT, forgot it was Friday, eleventyeth and Honorary First once again.

Good to see you here anyway, API
Well, Folks, the ninja family is standing about 25 Meters from where our Great President Donald J. Trump will be giving his Rally tonite!
We are wearing our Betsy Ross Flag T-Shirts, our Trump 2020 and 45 hats.
And No Masks…!!!!
😉😎
And if anyone thought the ninja family are Racists because we are Army Brats Turned Southeners (born at Fort Devins and Fort Monmouth), we are here with our Battle Buddies whose skin color is darker than ours!
SURPRISE!
(One Battle Buddy is an Air Force Academy Graduate).
Only a few more hours. We have been practicing dancing to the “YMCA” song for the ending.
Ole KKK Doofus Ralphie Boy has tried EVERYTHING to stop this Rally tonite. His Health Police Nazis put out that only 250 could attend and that if more showed up, it will be a Misdeamer.
5,000 of of Miscrats are expected!
And last, Ole Ralphie Boy put out today he has COVID 19.
Sure he does. Doofus wears a Mask and he has Covid?
That Doofus LIED about being a Gulf War Vet. Do you think us Battle Buddies who were Boots On the Ground for OEF and OIF are gonna believe him?
KoB, we will do a REBEL Yell and scream ROLL TIME ROLL and HOW BOUT THEM DAWGS!
And just for AW1Ed, because we Love him, we will do an Extra GO ARMY BEAT NAVY.
Our Air Force Battle Buddy will do a yell for Mason.
You All Have a Great Evening!
We Know We Will!
MAGA! (That is for Commissar, Because We Know You Love Us).

I did a TDY at HQDA during DS/DS, and then did a tour at CENTCOM HQs after DS/DS and continuing into RESTORE HOPE. Unlike Racist Ralphie, I sure as hell don’t claim to be a DS/DS Veteran. Racist Ralphie was the guy in the photo wearing the klan hood, and he is also a lying SV poser POS…
Winding down work project that kept me at Casa de Sparky for a little while at least. Soon to be heading out to the Western Annex, and another project that’ll have me driving 500+ miles each week between them, plus local commutes.
Yay, suitcase life.

He also called them a “dull bunch.” Nothing like being insulted by the VPOTUS when you’re deployed to really buoy your spirits, right?
https://www.thedailybeast.com/team-biden-says-stupid-bastards-comment-was-made-in-jest
Of course, because it’s The Daily Beast, they sneak this claptrap in at the end;
That’s right. You’ve got a sitting Vice President, on video, insulting deployed Airmen to their faces. Pay no attention to that though, some anonymous asshole who likely doesn’t exist said the Orange Man hates the troops. It’s been debunked by everyone involved on that day that Trump said no such thing.
Yes, debunked even by people that don’t like Trump, like Bolton.
They project like a multiplex theater.

Ralphie Boy should had washed his White Hood instead of wearing a Black Face Mask to his Daily briefings.

Here’s hoping that the Ghost of Patrick Henry haunts KKKRalphie into an early Obit Column.
ninja, do I need to be more concerned about the health of my black cat (Thomas) v the white dog (Trixie)? What about little Chapman, the rescued parti-poodle/ He’s black AND white? Will Kay Kitty and Smokey be alright because they are Russian Blues? I don’t have Green Cards for them and does the Confederate Gray Color make them RAAAAYYYYCCIIIIS? Need I concern myself with the health of my Black Car, Sassy ION? The Ark should be OK, she’s white. No concerns about Big Red 150 cause he’s…well…Red. Oh, wait…Aren’t Native Americans more subject also? Is it RAAAAYYYYCCIIIISSSS to refer to NA as Red?
Glad you had a large time to the Rally. Think I spotted the ninja crew in the crowd with the Betsy Ross Flag T-Shirts! gabn/rtr/hbtd

Our Air Force Academy Battle Buddy Family is currently in DC for the Prayer March.
Sadly, the ninja family could not make that trip with them.
Pray For Our Nation

“If My People, who are called by My name, will humble Themselves and pray and seek My face and turn from Their wicked ways, then I will hear from Heaven, and I will forgive Their sin and will heal Their land.”

Who says there is no God? Now let’s get Northam on a ventilator stat, but without that “dangerous,” not demonrat aproved HCQ.
Congrats on your attendance at the rally. I watched it on Conservative Treehouse.
Oh boy.
Remember Martin LeBlanc
(Martin Blank on FakeBook)
of “Ghost Warrior” book fame,
with the girlfriend book tour,
and the encounter (on video) with real Green Berets?
Well,
Martin Blank is STILL on FakeBook….
and his last post is self incriminating.
[To my fellow veterans let us remember
all of those who did no come back]
….along with a meme graphic of “What is a Veteran?”
He got 4 “Love” clicks for that.
Good news, there is NO Green Beret drivel on his page.
However, his old meme post showing a kneeling combat soldier with
“Remember my family, Remember my unit”,
with his typed post of
[Got your 6…..SFC M Blank]
remains as an old reminder of his history of phony phuckery.

Heads Up OldManchu:
Dennis Nickell just announced an hour ago “Will be releasing new video with DD214/Original Photos in Country etc. within the next 2 weeks.”
Context: This is the turd that said we had Apache Helicopters and Abrams Tanks in Vietnam.
Yeah, the NVA launched the Easter Offensive in 1972 using T-80s and BMP-2s, and the ARVN had to defend Quang Tri and An Loc with M1A1s and Bradleys. Then the U.S. had to intervene with Operation LINEBACKER I, flying F/A-18s off USS RONALD REAGAN and USS GEORGE H. W. BUSH from Yankee Station to bomb Haiphong, and 7th AF flew F-22s and F-35s from Udorn and Koran to interdict NVA supply lines in Laos…
We had iPhone Sevens in Desert Storm.
OMG…!!!

“Jeopardy’ Contestants Draw a Blank On Auburn Football”
https://www.al.com/life/2020/09/jeopardy-contestants-draw-a-blank-on-auburn-football.html
“Jeopardy” contestants still need to brush up on their football, at least in the SEC.”
“The quiz show referenced the Iron Bowl during the opening round of the Sept. 24., 2020 edition, but perhaps the greatest rivalry in all of college football hasn’t gone as mainstream as we thought.”
“In the category “’A’ is for Autumn,” here is the $400 clue:
“Each fall Alabama & this SEC football archrival meet in ‘The Iron Bowl.’”
“One contestant, Sameer, answered Arkansas.”
“Sara and champion Robert declined to chime in, so we heard the dreaded triple-beep indicating no one responding correctly in time.”
“The correct response, obviously, is “What is Auburn?”
(One has to be a SEC Fan to understand…)
rtr/hbtd/gabn
😉😎
Ninja, is that (War Eagles or Tigers) still a ongoing fight to the death point of contention for Auburn fans down in that part of the territory?
When I was at Benning and living over the river in Phenix City in 74, it seems like everybody was up in arms about which one to call them./s
Hi, Claw!
Auburn Fans always yell “WAR EAGLE!!” even though they are the Auburn Tigers.
That is why Alabama Fans call them “War Chickens”.
Alabama’s Mascot is an Elephant, but the Battle Cry is ROLL TIDE ROLL..
I do know this. BLM and ANTIFA would never last during SEC time in the South.
Never mess with Southerners during College Football Season.
Never. Unless you want to pull cleats outta one’s behind…
😉😎
P.S. Thanks for giving OldManchu the heads up about Ole Dennis.
Still can’t believe Ole Lowball Jimmy still has followers…😉😎
And yes, Claw, every year, BIG SEC Game in that AO is either ROLL TIDE ROLL or WAR EAGLE…The Alabama/Auburn Game.
Believe it or not, no matter where I have lived or stationed, on the day of the Alabama/Auburn game, Alabama Fans will run into one another, wearing Alabama Jerseys.
It is as if we are one big happy family scattered throughout the US, only to come together on that big day.
The Alabama/Auburn Game is equivalant to the Army/Navy game.
rtr= Roll Tide Roll
hbtd= How Bout Them Dawgs (GA Bulldogs)
gabn= Go Army Beat Navy
Thank You For Asking!
😉😎
Keep ’em schooled ninja, it’s what you do and you do it so well.
We may want to point out, too, that another name for the War Chicken is Cow College, that coming from the animal husbandry/animal chancre mechanics school they have there. It was also referred to as Alabama Polytechnic at one point in time, IIRC.
Reminder…Auburn had to switch from artificial turf on their home field to real grass so their cheerleaders would have a place to graze between plays. They have also been known to root out turnips and corn thru a hog wire fence. It’s all in the snout.

Fun times – the NYT has Trump’s taxes:

https://thehill.com/homenews/administration/518510-trump-paid-no-income-taxes-for-10-of-past-15-years-report
His income tax in 2017, when he was President, was a whopping $750. Must be nice.
I file my own taxes, so I’d love to see the Trump tax returns that the New York Times claims they have, along with supporting documentation. In the meantime, “According to the New York Times” has as much credibility as “The Babylon Bee reports…”.
Leftist propaganda rags like the New York Time have gone full retard with their anti Trump propaganda. In the 38 years I’ve been a news junkie, the amount of research I’ve had to do to verify the legitimacy of leftist reporting has shot up… Exponentially in the recent years.

Let us not forget that when the smarmy Harry Reid said in the 2012 election that Romney didn’t pay taxes he owed, he was later proven wrong. And when confronted the statement was false, his response was, “well, it worked, didn’t it.”
Also, let’s remember that the cuttlefish and LC were rabid believers in all the D-rat pushed lies and frauds like Russia, Russia, and Ukraine, Ukraine, etc.
“Protected sources” my ass. Dan Blather tried that shit with his Bush avoided service crap show. Then when CBS finally released the documents, they were blatant forgeries typed in Microsoft Word on a computer. Maybe Trump’s tax returns they claim they have are more “fake but accurate” documents from our beloved Progda.
We’ll just have to agree to disagree about the NYT’s credibility. What’s really interesting in the quote you provide is that the lawyer is being very lawyer-esque – yes, Trump has certainly paid more in federal taxes than $750. He’s paid property taxes, payroll taxes, etc, which surely do add up to millions. But he didn’t say the President paid more in income taxes.
Why the distinction? Well, it seems one of three things (or some combination) is true:
1) NYT got punked and have fake records, and are completely in the wrong. So let POTUS sue, and let’s see what discovery brings.
2) POTUS had very little income, which is backed up by the information on his failing golf courses and other businesses (of course, unless that’s wrong too – see #1 above). If that’s the case, instead of being the ‘brilliant businessman’ he tries to portray himself as, he’s a rather lousy one. It’s like those ‘influencers’ on Instagram who rent a room that looks like a plane interior so they can pretend they’re flying on private jets – an illusion conjured up to fool the masses.
The other fun thing about this will be if he told the banks one thing about his business ventures, and the IRS another, which has already happened with some of his properties.
3) Or he’s actually a good businessman, and is either lying to the IRS, or using funny accounting to bring his tax bill to near-zero. Which makes him -and yes, others who do this, including liberal billionaires- an asshole, or a liar.
Now, I don’t know for sure, but he could show his taxes for 2017, say, and clear it all up. Make the NYT look like fools. I would genuinely welcome that. Until then, I give them a lot more credibility than Trump.
LC: We’ll just have to agree to disagree about the NYT’s credibility. That does not change the reality that the New York Times is engaging in propaganda, in deceptive reporting. This isn’t just based on my observation, and verification on some of their articles, but on books written by those who have done even more extensive research showing a disconnect between what actually happened and what the NYT claims happened. LC: But he didn’t say the President paid more in income taxes. He did not say how much President Trump donated either. I guess we are to assume, based on your statement, that a lack of such statement means that President Trump “did not” donate the amount Trump supporters are saying he donated. Second, even if the president ended up “owing zero dollars” for income tax, that is not saying that “he did not pay income tax”. Why? He would have to pay estimated taxes, or taxes deducted from paycheck to go towards income tax, throughout the year. Then, after doing his taxes, and the appropriate deductions reduced his tax liability, then what he actually owes becomes available. If what he actually owes is much less, or even zero, then what he paid throughout the year is paid back to him as the government matches his payment to what he actually owes. The reality is that he paid this income tax throughout the year. And, even if he had zero income tax liability, he is in an income bracket, with the necessary business operations, that allows him to reduce his income tax liability. It is like how I, as a homeowner, am able to lower my tax liability more than what I could as a renter with all other things equal. I was able to reduce my tax liability while married then what I can now as a widower. People have no leg to stand on complaining about the president being able to lower his tax liability when these individuals take advantage of similar mechanisms on their own tax forms (on a larger scale) to reduce their own tax liability.… Read more »
And in other crazy news, Brad Parscale is now in a hospital following a suicide threat:

I hope his friends and family can get him the help he needs. I’m not a fan of Parscale, but suicide -and even just the realistic threat of it- is a thousand times worse.

Casual Payment to FIRST Sergeant’s Fund for Single Moms.
That should take care of it.
Concur. Would that casual payment be in the form of singles, AKA “stripper tickets’?
One example of a good use of extra year end monies would be:
In what I felt was the most significant accomplishment of my career as a Mech Infantry S-4 Supply Daddy was the local purchase (there on Ft. Carson for 1/12 Inf) of enough of those two handled fence post drivers so that every track/rifle squad (whether it was a M113 or a Mortar/Hammerhead/Recovery track) in the Battalion had one to set up a static defense/NDP with. Sure cut down on the number of broken sledge hammer handles that we had to replace. Total cost was about $3,800.00/s
