Christmas Open Thread
Christmas tree, Christmas decorations, and new year celebration. (Wallpapers Craft)
Merry Christmas Everyone! Hoping that everyone is enjoying the company (face-to-face or online), the presents, the meals, and a break from the usual. Repeat advice for leftover heating… Spray with water then heat. Should taste like it is freshly cooked.

Merry Christmas ya bahstids!
Good to see you here again and a Merry Christmas to you as well!
Well will you look at DIS motherfucker…(figuratively)
Glad to see you back IDC SARC!!
I used you name in vain recently, I believe it was in the Tiger Shark (AOC) thread.
AAAAHHHEEEEMMMM! Attention to orders:
Since NO ONE ELSE actually called claim to it, I’ll just leave this right here:
FIRST….. HEEEEEEE’SSS BACK!!!!
grrrreat.
I was hoping you’d lose the URL.
j/k. How’reya Reb?!
Playing catch-up Brother…The struggle is real. May take awhile! Good to be home. Thanks! Tried to read the article on the Artillery piece…The caliber of my “gun” kept changing and the lap top wouldn’t stay level on my lap. May even have had a round “cook off” in the “tube”.
Stay warm!
You disgust me,
we’re too much alike.
Take your time, obviously.
Your favorite individual (and I say again: in-div-id-ual) have been ruining our fun with his negative waves.
Some fucking people….
Glad to have you back. Its movie time over here, holler iffin you need something, I ain’t listening no how.
^WORD^ Saw an alluding to some of his shenanigans in a Thread Headline. I will endeavor…I WILL persevere!
Shot Out!
Second and Honorary First once again, Merry Christmas!
((((OVER))))
Merry, Happy!!!!
It’s brrrrrr around here. But it’s supposed to be at least chilly on Christmas, isn’t it? Yeah. Looking like a good way to celebrate here.
Quiet, a very quiet day. Neighbors and friends with whom I would usually spend parts of the day are having health and other issues, so just settling in for a day of feasting upon an assortment of food and beverage oddities with a couple of good books at hand. Maybe light a candle for lost loved ones.
Enjoy your day, fellow TAHers, however and with whomever it is spent!
What is this, everyone gets a shot at a First Post for Weekend Open Thread Marathon? So many open threads diminish the value of being awarded a First Entry for a Weekend Open Thread. The Deep Satte that runs this website needs to be more judicious in launching a WOT, otherwise it will be as common as the highly coveted and rarely awarded National Deserve Service Medal.
At some point there will be means testing to see if you
actually need to be First.
Immediately followed by participation trophies for the losers.
1st comment – been reading the Stolen Valor pages, only up to page 19. Keep up the good work.
Welcome aboard. Unless you’ve been lurking a while, please have a look at the information in the TAH FNG Read Before You Post section up top of the page.
Cool… Will do…
Been reading backwards… Started in 2014 – up to October 2013.. Still a ways to go… Interesting so far.. And yeah, I was active duty for 25+ years…
Merry Christmas and in West Delray Beach, Fl. it’s a freezing 51 degrees right now going up to a 70+. Cold air coming into my porch through my non hurricane plexi glass windows as I’m typing out this comment.
It’s 56 degrees in northern Maine with heavy rain
and a high wind warning. The snow is all gone but
still a very Merry Christmas.
Vermont we lost the white stuff last night, currently 57.
Al Gore just jogged by my house.
At least I don’t have to worry about raking the roof now!
38 and sunny in East Texas!
Merry Christmas to all. Stay safe.
4 degrees here. 15 mile an hour wind, so feels like minus 18/20.
Merry Christmas to all.
Somewheres around 0 degrees in my AO. Really don’t know why we stay here. 🙂
Merry Christmas from Tacoma Washington. 41 degrees and light showers right now. Just had a video chat with my former USPS co-worker when we worked nights running a machine sorting letters here. She says “Manuia le Kirisimasi” to everyone from Nu’uuli American Samoa where it is almost 10 am there, 79 degrees and light ocean breezes and occasional sprinkles of rain.
A massive car explosion in Nashville. Significant damage to structures in the downtown district. FBI, ATF, and other alphabet soup agencies on the scene.

Who has a beef with Nashville?
They all have served me way too much Jack on more than one occasion.
Not a bombing offense in my book but someone’s mileage many vary?
Side note, there are quite a few bars that cater to gentlemen that enjoy the company of other gentlemen, so….?
Never been there but looking at that God awful building
in the photo says a lot.
\
The AT&T building? The one with horns.
I always thought that it looks like a building from a dystopian movie like Robocop or something.
It’s too ugly to be real in this timeline.
I forgot to mention in my above comment that I knew Christmas was here because I saw a cat walking on the beach and of course everyone has heard of Sandy Claws. I keep forgetting things and last week I forgot the Alamo-REMEMBER THE ALAMO.
It’s just not Christmas until you see a Christmas tree on the shoulder of The Capital Beltway (I-495). Never saw one last year, and never saw one this holiday season. This tradition must be a casualty of the War On Christmas.
Not to mention progessives are makin’ things “collective” this year, comrade!
Merry Christmas, Happy Holidays, Wiggy Whatever!
Looking forward to what the New Year brings, no matter how ridiculous it is.
Merry Christmas all – A little rain this AM in southern AZ, mid 60s is in the day’s forecast. Prime rib is on the menu for later in the day.
Merry Birth of the Prince of Peace Day.
I remember Christmas in Cambodia with John Kerry.
Damn you, Richard Nixon!
Here you go:
https://youtu.be/-KTsXHXMkJA
DK’s Holiday in Cambodia?
Yeah, that’s what my linky is for.
Stay safe and don’t trust 2021.
After yesterday’s rain we awoke this morning to temps in the mid-teens and a beautiful covering of fresh snow.
We just finished a hearty breakfast and now, with a cup of most excellent coffee, it’s time to watch a few more snowflakes fall and just sit.
Merry Christmas one and all!
Merry Christmas to most of you.
And “Seasons Greeting” to those snowflakes that get triggered by not being told “Merry Christmas”….
I’m just kidding; Happy Holidays.
Besides, ‘tis the season to be a snowflake.
Meh:
The is the first time one of your comments was insightful and accurate.
You nailed it.
The following conversation took place between Hack Stone and his lovely bride Rosetta Stone within the last hour in the kitchen of Stately Stone Manor, as heard by Hack Stone:
Rosetta Stone: What’s bigger, Fit Bit or Chunky?
Hack Stone: What?
Rosetta Stone: What’s bigger, Fit Bit or Chunky?
Hack Stone: What are you talking about? Why are you asking me about Fit Bit?
Rosetta Stone: Fit Bit! Fit Bit! What is bigger, Fit Bit or Chunky?
At this point, Hack Gets up to from the kitchen table and goes to the counter, where she has the Christmas Ham, and two cans of pineapple, one being Chunky, and the other Tidbits (Fit Bit).
Hack really wishes that some company would come up with a proprietary computer-assisted language learning software. t should would make Hack’s life easier.
Low 30s in the GB Compound AO.
A quiet Christmas morning for Mrs. GB and I, we had all the family over last night for food (little of that qualified as “healthy”), caroling in the neighborhood, and opening presents.
Mrs. GB had our traditional muffins & sausage Christmas Day breakfast and exchange of a little present in our stockings.
I’m ready for my morning nap already.
A Merry Christmas to you all. May the Prince of Peace reign in your hearts and minds and throughout 2021. May God bless you all.
A Merry Christmas get together with the family, I know you all wore masks and practiced social distancing.
Question on the social distancing thing….
How do you pass the potatoes if you have to stay 6′ away ???
And what about the Mistletoe ???
God forbid you actually get that close4 under these restrictions.
I’m tellin’ on you !!!!
In the meantime, there’s always this to remember the fallen…
It was a distinct honor and a privilege to have been able to serve our America.
Merry Christmas to you all. Started out in the teens here, headed to 50s… Wife and MIL requested eggs benedict and bloody Marys for breakfast, so started cooking early…. Rib roast goes in next…
I know that 2020 was one hell of a screwy year, but I have to say, it was one of the best years of my life.
I owe all the good fortune I have received over this past year to a very loving Higher Power I choose to call God and to the great nation of America.
Happy Holiday and Merry Christmas TAH!
As the False Commander “Phony” Phil Monkress (CEO of All-Points Logistics) works hard today continuing to procure government, taxpayer-funded contracts for his own nefarious purposes based upon his highly questionable and potentially criminal fake Native American, Navy SEAL and Law Enforcement claims.
I can only imagine Phildo handed out Silver Stars to his All-Points Logistics employees this year for their bravery in staying with him in light of his exposed lies and deceit.
Merritt Island is the new North Pole.
Merry Christmas to all you curmudgeonly, caustic, honorable, patriotic deplorables.
As I begin preparations for the arrival of friends and family, I find myself wishing I could invite and feed you all.
FYI. Les Brown went to meet his maker on the 20th

I am somewhat conflicted about making a snotty shitty comment and holding my tongue so seeing as how it’s the day after Christmas and I have 364 days before I am judged by Santa again,
Gee, that’s kind of too bad. Well at least you won’t be pulling any more stolen valor shit.
What’s the old adage about taking it to the grave?
I wonder who’s going to be in charge of the chili cook off now? Or is that a spaghetti dinner? I forget.
I also wonder what’s going to happen to his vest.
Maybe it will get sent to the Smithsonian?
Jesus’s younger brother turns water into Coors light:
If he had chose a different beer he might have succeeded in starting a religion like his brother,
Coors Lite out of water is hardly a miracle.
I do that every time I drink water.
Hey, some folk can’t do anything but make stuff worse:
Just put the prime rib in the oven. Cheated on the sides; bought the mashed taters and roasted Brussels sprouts. However, I will be making a Yorkshire pudding, gravy, and some garlic mushrooms. Wash it down with a couple glasses of Malbec. Should be good and there will be leftovers.
Merry Christmas 🎁🎄 to all of you!
Cold and rainy here in the AO… getting ready for Christmas dinner.
Some music that conveys the spirit of this day. Merry Christmas to all…
Hack Stone just came across this interesting video. If the Marines in Korea had a horse named Reckless, seems only fair that the Polish Army have their own mascot.
Had the Granddaughter here. Santa brought her a mini drone, remote controlled cars and a medium sized Nerf arsenal.
A massive, family sized combined armed exercise was held to great success.
A Wal-Mart I shopped while traveling had huge multi-hundred-round bulk packs of off-brand foam darts for Nerfguns. (Four would fill a large Alice pack)
They were flying off the shelf, and I quipped “this ammo hoarding is out of control”.
Merry Christmas, all.

So apparently my theory of it being a big foot who got his hands on a jet pack is now shot. They actually got footage of the guy.
My new theory is the dude is a political operative responsible for suddenly appearing boxes of ballots.
Remember Jason Brett West,
the FAKE tortured, shot, stabbed POW in Texas,
with the GoFundMe?
Well, now it’s a small business…
“Veteran Owned and Operated”,
and with a November 10 post:
(Paste)
Happy Birthday – Semper Fi!
Today is the Marine Corps 245th Birthday.
At Ghost Carpentry, we are proud of our Marine Veteran Founder and all the other men and women that have served our Country
(End Paste)
And, his sister in law (Katy Koza), who ran the GoFundMe,
is clicking likes on this crap.
Reminder… he NEVER SERVED.
IMHO, this FAKE Veteran Owned business needs some love.
You know, the tough kind.

Jason West – Fake POW, Stabbed, Shot, Tortured
Dave Hardin | February 11, 2020
https://valorguardians.com/blog/?p=95501
Hack Stone forgot about this dude. Some great comments on the original thread, but the part about being stabbed by a stripper at The Driftwood is gold.
Hack totally understands the records for Combat Engineers disappearing. There a few miscreants from 3rd Combat Engineers who still owe Hack money from way back in 1992, and he is having a heck of a time locating them.
Good morning, Hack Stone.
Yep, as predicted,
they (likely his wifey) are deleting comments
on this new business FakeBook page.
Also, blocking clicks and comments from those who comment negatively.
Still no records or proof from phony Jason West.
Fake Marine POW making children’s toys to con unwitting parents now.
Ugh.
Already comments (and a reply) on his open public FakeBook page.
Check it out (link above),
before someone starts deleting comments.
Plan B.
ANYONE can leave Phony tortured Marine POW Jason West
and his GhostCarpentryTX a REVIEW.
https://www.facebook.com/GhostCarpentryTX
POOF.
Gone.
Why would this “Veteran Owned Business” page vanish,
so soon after recent activity??
UPDATE —
Due to last nights FakeBook (now deleted) comments,
today I received a not too happy PM from the wife,
Angela West,
which contains 2 JPG files, including a Jason West Form DD-214.
So, now they have some records?
That’s NOT what the shot tortured GoFundMe said.
This is about to get interesting.
Admins – Incoming (email).
Does that DD-214 have the official Forging Frank Visconi Seal Of Approval ®? If it doesn’t have the official Forging Frank Visconi Seal Of Approval ®, it ain’t worth a broken mailbox full of outdated Red Hat Software.
Hack Stone,
I can only say that the DD-214 has inconsistencies,
not only with mismatched type fonts,
but also code blocks with odd codes, not on the code lists.
