Weekend Open Thread
What happens in many debates both here and elsewhere… People hold onto their arguments. It’s not for these people that we post our arguments. However, we’re willing to stand up for our arguments if the opposition argues with us. Enjoy your weekend.
Category: Open thread
1st
Hack Stone is going to the Supreme Court to dispute the awarding of First Post to KoB. There is Chinese corrusion going on here.
Shady lerkers!
Nice.
Now that you took care of that and I don’t have to worry, I have to go to “Buck Duck Fuck Chuck a CUCK” thread, right??
CONGRATS!
Another weekend, another opportunity to claim First Post for the Weekend Open Thread of 11 December 2020. Despite the scourge of what Governor Cuomo some reason calls it The European Virus, we are in the holiday season. Please keep in your thoughts and prayers those who were victims of the terrorist attack during the Christmas Celebration of the proud but humble woman owned business that sells software to the federal government. Hans Gruber and his miscreants invaded the celebration and held employees hostage while the terrorists stole over $14 in hor’ d’oeuvres and gave the Vice President of the company an atomic wedgy. Lucky for us that Jared Stern just happened to be attendance, trying to reconcile with Elaine Ricci. Things could have been a lot worse if not for Jared Stern’s actions.
Hack has some time to kill while waiting for the WOT to drop, so celebrity birthdays for today include actress Terri Garr (1947); actress Rita Moreno (1931); actress Donna Mills (1940); actress Lynda Day George (1944); Maila Nurmi (1922 – 2008), better known as Vampira; and everyone’s favorite short statured police officer, Ron Carey (1935 – 2007) who portrayed Officer Carl Levitt on one of the funniest shows of the 1970’s, Barney Miller.
I always thought Terri Garr was hot back in the day.
What knockers!
Terri Garr is no Elaine Ricci, but Hack Stone wouldn’t mind rolling in the hay with her. Hack just might do a viewing of Young Frankenstein this weekend.
She was still hot in Mr. Mom.
Just checked her profile on IMDB, and she has 153 screen credits, but no credits since 2011. Her first screen credit was way back in 1963, followed by uncredited appearances in Fun In Acapulco, Viva Las Vegas, Kissin’ Cousins and Roustabout. Scored four gigs in Elvis films at the beginning of her career, not too shabby.
Doing a weekend viewing of Young Frankenstein is okay, just don’t let Rosetta catch you abusing your enormous schwanzstucker./s
She was stunning in that movie. Totally take a roll, roll, roll in the hay with her.
So who was better, Terri Garr in Young Frankenstein or Madeline Kahn in Blazing Saddles? They had great material to work with.
Terry Garr, hands down. In love with her since she was on Star Trek as Roberta Lincoln in “Assignment: Earth.”
John Denver’s wife on “Oh God” (just starting on Movies channel). First scene she is wearing a baby doll nightie.
“The Dating Game” clip from The Dave Letterman Show
OOOOOps! I see that Green Thumb posted this earlier, down-thread.
Green Thumb (and Hack Stone),
Teri Garr was a dancer, a 60s Elvis Presley movie dancer
(along with Toni Basil (Mickey)).
Enjoy!
Cool.
Tough and classy lady. She was diagnosed with MS years past and its taking its toll on her for sure. But she stays positive.
Big Fan of Ms. Garr.
AAAHEEEEEM! ?!?’Scuse me?!? Say Whuuut?!?
Welp, it sat there long enough, even Slow Joe Had a shot at the Coveted EARNED NEVER GIVEN, TAH Friday Weekend Open Thread FIRST! But as we all know…(in his best James Earl Jones voice) There can be ONLY ONE (1)!
And just as The King of Battle is the FIRST to be called upon to lay a Time On Target FIRE MISSION, FIRE MISSION, FIRE MISSION, thus it is written, again, in the Coveted Book of FIRST, that he is AGAIN, King of FIRSTs. And just as (GO) Army will come in FIRST for the (BEAT) Navy Matchup on the Gridiron.
In Honor of this EARNED Award and as a SALUTE to the Adorable Deplorable, we plan on TWBGCC, Rabbit Stew, BBQed Goat multitudes of Class VI Supplies, premium seegars, and, of course…the House Wine…Sweet Iced Tea.

Mrs. A Proud Infidel®™ is making CALIMARI for us to eat while we watch ARMY BEAT NAVY.
Firsteen!
Some people look at a marble floor and believe they see Jon Lennon.
Some people look at a wall and think they see Jesus.
I looked down in a backed up public toilet this morning and can confirm (100% no less) that I saw the likeness of The False Commander “Phony” Phil Monkress (CEO of All-Points Logistics).
Flush.
I did the world a favor.
Did Commander Phil Monkress of All Points Logistics ever fill that open senior executive position in Reston VA? Most applicants can’t make it past the hernia check.
Unsure.
But Buck Trailkill might have the inside track….
fortyeleventh! What do I win?
It’s Music Appreciation Time!
For this WOT, the ninja family is sharing 2 Awesome Music Videos and one short GO ARMY BEAT NAVY video.
Enjoy…We Did!
The first 4 minute music video is ” Dems Went Down To WI, MI, AZ, NV and PA Looking For Some V-O-T-E-S To Steal”:
Rest in Peace, Charlie Daniels…and Yes, this song reminds the ninja family of our own KoB!
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xdlCowepxnI
The second 3 minute music video is related to how the ninja family feels on the election (am sure others on TAH feel the same).
With apologies to Twisted Sister: “We’re Not Gonna Take It”

“Ex-Bin Laden Henchman Freed From NJ Prison After Judge Deems Him TOO FAT For Jail”
https://nypost.com/2020/12/11/ex-bin-laden-henchman-back-in-uk-after-early-release-from-us-prison/
“A former Osama bin Laden henchman convicted in two deadly 1998 bombings is free and living in the UK this week after being released early — thanks to a Manhattan federal judge who agreed the terrorist was way too obese to survive the coronavirus behind bars.”
“Adel Abdel Bary, 60, had spent 21 years in a New Jersey prison for his role in the 1998 al Qaeda bombings of two US embassies in Africa that killed 224 people, including 12 Americans.”
“Defendant’s obesity and somewhat advanced age make COVID-19 significantly more risky to him than to the average person,” US District Judge Lewis A. Kaplan wrote in granting the release.”
“Bary had been set to be freed on Oct. 28, but his attorneys asked that he be let out sooner, citing their client’s age, girth and asthma.”
“Mr. Bary’s continued incarceration now significantly increases his risk of infection, which could wreak disastrous health outcomes,” his lawyer wrote in court documents.”
“While prosecutors didn’t agree that Bary’s age made him more at risk to catch COVID-19, they did concede his body mass index of 36 did.”
Firstly, wtf?!
Secondly, why the FUNK would UK let this PoS the FUNK in?!?
Oh, that’s right. They’re in the process of committing cultural suicide.
Carry on….,I guess.
But did he vote?
Of course.. straight ticket democrat!
He sounds like someone in serious need of a Pinochet Helicopter Ride®™!
Good thing I quit subscribing to TIME Magazine, let alone read it!
“Joe Biden and Kamala Harris Named Time Person of The Year”
https://www.cnn.com/2020/12/10/media/joe-biden-kamala-harris-time-person-of-the-year/index.html
Then again, I forgot that Adolph Hitler was named Time Man of the Year in 1938; Joseph Stalin in 1939 and 1942; Nikita Krushchev in 1957; LBJ in 1964 and 1967; Jimmy Carter in 1976; Ayatollah Khomeini in 1979; Bill Clinton in 1998; BHO in 2008 and 2012 and Greta Thunberg in 2019.
PotY supposedly is the most headline worthy individual… not the best, brightest, etc. Been quite a few despicable ones over the years.

“PotY supposedly is the most headline worthy individual..”

Speaking of OJ Simpson…Everyone knows he DID IT…yet that man is FREE…

It’s like the Motortrend Car/Truck of the Year. It’s always just the newest model.
Looking at their list, since 1992, every presidential election year their person of the year is the presidential winner (even ’96, ’04, and ’12 for their second terms).
This is the first time they’ve included the VP though. Yet another sign of just what a weak, pathetic man Biden is.
I beg to disagree, partially. Yes, he is pathetically weak and morally bankrupt. But, this was some of the most honest reporting and blatant truth to come out of the MSM in memory. She was included because she will be Prez, initially defacto, shortly in fact. When your enemy tells you what they are going to do, listen.
Pay attention, we are witnessing the death of the Republic. No matter who you voted for, no matter how acute your TDS, to be other than outraged, dismayed and sickened means you are not worthy of the Republic we once had.
Nailed it spot on OAM! On Target, Fire for Effect!
If the factual presentation doesn’t convince them, maybe your Charm and Beauty will! Or we can fall back on your rabbit hunting…or cooking!
Have another of TWBGCC, for a pre-game snack…AND a cat head with pepper jelly and butter.
DVR alert for this weekend. Original television movie about a heroic Colonel overcoming adversity.

And tomorrow night Rudolph and Frosty are scheduled to be broadcast on CBS.
Remember this Dude…the guy in Alabama who told a group of folks in Tuscumbia, Alabama that he was a Prisoner of War?
“He was captured in Pakistan on March 10 in 2002, strapped naked to a chair for 72 hours and sexually molested by three men,” said Tucker in the video.
Tucker pauses appearing to get choked up.
“I was able to escape with all means necessary,” said Tucker in the video.
“Alabama Man Arrested For Stolen Valor After Fake POW Claims”

“More Charges For William Travis Tucker of Alabama”
https://valorguardians.com/blog/?p=107889
Well, guess what?
“Bond Remains Revoked For Shoals Man Charged With Stolen Valor”
https://www.waff.com/2020/12/09/law-enforcement-officials-investigating-more-possible-cases-against-shoals-man-charged-with-stolen-valor/
You can view the Court Order at the Link.
“The Shoals man charged with forgery and theft of valor will remain behind bars until his trial.”
“On Thursday, the Circuit Court of Colbert County ruled that William Travis Tucker’s bond will remained revoked at this time.”
Investigator Matt Burbank said his office found more evidence of fraudulent activity.
“He said there is evidence Tucker was trading vehicles and obtaining titles to vehicles, boats and motorcycles fraudulently. Burbank also said he has evidence of that fraud in an email Tucker sent to a Lauderdale County clerk.”
“Burbank said multiple agencies have now been asked to assist in the investigation.”
“In Colbert County, an investigator said that he has been in contact with at least 20 people who claim to have been victimized by Tucker.”
“Both are asking if you have been victimized by Tucker to please report it.”
“Some of these actions could be criminal and not civil. That’s why we need everyone who’s had dealings with him to reach out to us. We’ve had several already. Just about all of those charges have been criminal so there may be more charged, more criminal actions that will be facing him in the future,” said Investigator Burbank.”
Still no reports of mickeying and/or farm buggerings?
I’ll wait…
He and his favorite sheep…Baaarbaaara will be announcing their upcoming nuptials. She wanted to wait for the Spring, when the new coat comes in.
Boom!
BDA 100:100.
The guy’s a turd of high order.
This one’s marinating good, I tell ya.
Not is it was consensual…
So, the Alphabet Bois sashayed themselves into a legal business, under “pretenses”, and didn’t end up arresting anyone, because that’d imply nefarious a-doings.
The next 4 years are going to be rough. Boat, burry, boof (aka ‘prison wallet’) all your scary devices away, lest Beto gets ‘em.

Normally here I’d say “Have a great weekend y’all!” but I’m afraid we done run out of luxuriatin’ type times.
Almost a gun vs its a gun,,, look out Home Depot.
I allegedly have plenty hunks of plastic that may or may not be fashioned, manufactured, or hobbied into certain configurations or conditions, with or without attachments, that allow or permit certain activities of a ballistic nature.
That being said, it’s much cheaper to get a hot High Point off of the guy down the street than to build a firearm.
Let’s hope sanity prevails, but I’m not holding my breath (nor stopping the drill press).
All gun laws are infringements, and I like oatmeal with fruit and coffee for breakfast, Johnny Law!
(Low key tho, I’m one of the good ones. Promise)

Late to the party yet again, but happy to note that the King of Battle is on the throne! The more things change, the more they stay the same, eh? So herewith I deliver the week’s trivia column. Thank you all for all the comments you’ve made; you all help make the old Commish a better writer! DID YOU KNOW…? Did Catherine O’Leary’s cow really start the Great Chicago Fire in 1871? By Commissioner Wretched Dear Santa, At this pivotal moment in the history of human beings on Earth, I have only one request to ask of you for Christmas this year. Make this stupid year go away, already! From January to now has been nothing but one thing after another, bad news following bad news, and seemingly no end in sight. Normally I ask you for some baubles, some trinkets, some little somethings – and nice stuff for my family and friends. This year, none of that matters. Just make 2020 go away. We don’t even want to remember it any more. Cookies and milk will be left out as usual. Love, CW Now, on to the trivia! Did you know … … on average, 13 Americans are killed each year by vending machines? In almost all of the cases, the machines fall on top of people who are trying to steal items out of them. (The moral of the story, I guess, is that $1.50 for a bag of potato chips is cheaper than your life, especially since you won’t get to crunch the chips after the machine crunches you.) … classical artist Leonardo Da Vinci (1452-1519) is believed to have suffered from dyslexia? He often wrote backward, which gives modern scientists the clue. (Of course, it could also be a secret code, but I’m just speculating.) … over 400,000 homes in the United States still do not have indoor plumbing? (That is a very troubling statistic on many levels.) … the script for one of the biggest movies of the 1980s was rejected by Disney? In 1985, “Back to the Future” came to the big screen, and… Read more »
My battalion had vending machine casualty,,bad bad bad.
Was it fatal? Hack recalls a story going around in the 1980’s about a Chief Petty Officer losing a battle with a vending machine in the barracks day room. Or sure if it really happened or was just an urban legend.
Troop was paralyzed from the neck down permanently. He disappeared into the medical system and we never heard any more about him.
When asked about falsely accusing Mrs O’Leary’s cow of starting the Chicago Fire, the reporter said that it was fake, but accurate.
So, we finally learn a lying liar of a “journalist” completely fabricated the story about the O’Learys’ cow.
The journalist you mention probably had grandchildren that founded CNN.
Y’all got to understand, and again it’s all about the history, the O’Learys supported A. Lincoln (the FIRST Republican) in the 1860 election V Stephen A. Douglas, the demonrat. They supported U.S. Grant in ’68 and again in ’72 V Horace Greeley, the D in ’72. The Chicago Political Machine has been grifting and pointing blame at others for years. No surprise they blamed the cow for what the did themselves. There is a rumor about, that there was a mail in ballot with a hoof print for a signature, but like many other claims, it was “lost in the fire.” Took purt near 150 years for CW to bring out the truth on the Great Fire; prolly be CW’s Great Grand Kids that will reveal the Great Election Steal of 2020…in a 150 years.

Question for all you wannabe research ninjas:
When/if/did the Bronze Star Medal become a violation of the Stolen Valor Act?
The Wikipedia entry for the Stolen Valor Act of 2013 now lists it.
Has Wikipedia screwed the pooch by listing it or has it been added by an amendment?
Thank You for your time.
I can find no reference that it has been added. The relevant statute can be found here;

Hope you all have a great week.
Clear day tomorrow. Mrs. GB and I finished up the homemade soups.
Tossed in a batch of homemade biscuits for filler – with lots of butter.
Question – do other areas of the country make jelly from hot peppers? Had some homemade jalapeno jelly a friend made to eat with the biscuits.
Yep! Great with a toasty bagel and cream cheese.
Yes! I had that heavenly combo on my last visit to the Lone Star state. One of the flavor memories that make me smile, inside and out.
Good! Glad others get to share that culinary joy.
Only 2 redeeming qualities the final former ex Mrs had was her Grandmother’s pepper jelly and her divinity candy recipes.

You keep mentioning foods that I don’t need to think about, remember, drool over and find myself compelled to make.
Divinities.

The SOP is you submit your complaint for initial disapproval and as it makes it ’round the staff’s desks you pretty much hear nothing but hahahahahahahahaha NO! You do have the option of going straight to The Senior Chief Hell’an Waite for immediate disapproval. You also have the option of resubmitting in 180 days for further disapproval.

Yep. Good stuff, with all sorts of tasty applications.
What we make here isn’t over the top hot. Some red bells to add plenty of red color and usually a combo of ripe seranos and ripe jalapenos for heat. Maybe 2/3 hot chilis to 1/3 peppers.

I figured you’d be in with a correction, Claw daddy. I couldn’t find the liner NSN. Now let me tell you about the time I ordered an antenna pallet cover for an AN/TRC-170 system, and got the whole damn pallet…
The liner NSN is found in Appendix F of TM 10-8340-211-13 (w/Changes 1-4) dated 16 September 1990./s
You never cease to amaze.
TM for the AN/TRC-170:
TM 11-5820-1139-13&P dtd 15 Jul, 1995
It’s available in PDF on the AlGoreNet, so maybe a review in your spare time will reveal where you went wrong./s
I didn’t go wrong. The system had the same NSN for both the pallet and the cover, so someone at the great depot of comms sent 1 ea antenna transport pallet. It fills the bed of a 2 1/2 ton. Oops.

Saw that.
Not good. At all.
Lars momma has a long mustache.
SCOTUS is the only arbiter of state-to-state disputes. Not to be hyperbolic, because I don’t think things are headed that way, but this is how secessions happen.
Disappointing, but no surprise.
Pennsylvania suit is still in play. A victory here won’t save Trump, but will affirm that the Constitution spells out State legislatures control election processes…not the courts, governors, secy of states, etc. The GOP control most State legislatures including PA, GA, MI, WI, and AZ.
Now, Republicans need to get off their a$$es, and do their jobs. Stop rolling over, and playing dead every time Dems say ‘Boo’.
Pennsylvania suit was thrown out two days ago.
It was all nonsense.
You were lied to.
Trump team lost 57 out of 57 cases.
And they were unwilling to make the same allegations in court as they were making on TV…
They were lying. It was all a performance.
A con job.
Deep statery.
No.
Trump lost fair and square.
He may have lost, I’ll grant you that. Fair and square? Nope. There’s a lot of douchebaggery in the electoral commissions of various states, and that should concern everyone. Even you.
Well, hell, somebody with “standing” re-file.
There was never a case. It is all bullshit. Which is why Trump allies lost 57 times in court since the election.
You really should get out more.

Here’s a ‘light’ stolen valor case that’s relevant to the election. Sidney Powell’s expert witness, code-named ‘Spyder’ (or ‘Spider’), allegedly a “Military Intelligence expert”… isn’t.
Turns out, he’s an Army veteran who enrolled in a training program at the 305th Military Intelligence Battalion, and kept washing out of courses. He spent the bulk of his time in the Army as a mechanic.

This legal ‘strike team’ is just amazing.
This dude needs to reach out Lori Benton.
AIT washout. That’s like an expert, right?
He should call Prudential Associates and ask for Jared Stern. He is more than qualified to be an expert on terrorism with that training. He can hold the Gator Ade bottle while Jared takes a whizz.

From Al Gore’s interwebs invention:
Friend wants to get the word out on a drug recall:
“Sildenafil and trazodone tablets have been recalled by pharmaceutical distributor AvKare because the drugs were “inadvertently packaged together” when they were bottled by a third-party vendor, according to the company.
Sildenafil is the active ingredient in Viagra, used to treat erectile dysfunction, and trazodone is used to treat major depression.”
His grandfather was taking this for his depression and he discovered grandma was taking it rather hard.

A bit of a rough patch going on around here. The recent loss of a local officer brought back a bunch of unhappy memories of lost comrades. Tomorrow is the anniversary of one of them. Kinda makes me wish I still imbibed.
Oh, well. Will offer up some special prayers and find some projects to complete in their honor. And think about all the things that made knowing them worth the pain of their losses.
Hang in there. Sending some prayers your way.
Thanks muchly. All will be well, of course. Wearing the sadness as a sign of gratitude for having known them, especially the one who was killed this date 30+ years ago. That sadness just gets a bit heavier some days.
I once heard it explained that the amount of grief we feel is proportionate to the amount of love we felt. Equal and opposite reaction and all that.
