First!
Congrats CW!!! I know it’s been a long time for you.
Go gentle on us deplorables!
WOW
Rats of the Cong to our beloved CW!
WOW Check that out.
I was just getting in the car at 3 to go to the range.
I was focusing on bullets rather than First-ing.
Congrats.
Hope range time was fun!
Damn
That was my thought!
I was reading another post, looked at the time, thought I would have a few more mins, went back to the home page and BAM! there it was…
It’s been a few minutes since I was First on the WOT, so I’m a little rusty on lording it over. I’ll get back into the swing of it as soon as I get my crown and scepter. In the meantime, how about some trivia to soothe the egos of those who sought the coveted, always-earned, never-given FIRST? DID YOU KNOW…? How did one of Hollywood’s oldest traditions get started? By Commissioner Wretched Well, it looks like someone has caught me in another big mea culpa. Two weeks ago, I stated the yo-yo was originally a weapon in the Philippines. It turns out that I may have been mistaken. The weapon story was, it seems, crafted by the toymakers who first distributed the yo-yo to make it seem like something it was not. As I have learned, yo-yos have always been toys, not weapons, going back to 644 BC. Made a good story, though, didn’t it? My thanks to my friend thebesig at valorguardians.com for pointing it out to me! Now, on to this week’s trivia! Did you know … … a serial killer was once a contestant on a game show while his murder spree was going on? Rodney Alcala (born 1943) – currently awaiting execution on California’s Death Row for five murders committed in that state between 1977 and 1979 – appeared on “The Dating Game” in 1978. Alcala was the winning “bachelor” chosen by the contestant, but she later refused to go out on the date they’d won, saying Alcala was “creepy.” (That had to qualify as the understatement of the year!) … drivers in Russia use dash cameras more than anywhere else? The reason is that most Russian insurance companies will not pay accident claims without rock-solid proof, such as that provided by a dash cam. The cameras catch a lot of other stuff, too – such as the 2013 fireball over the city of Chelyabinsk that exploded, damaging windows and buildings and injuring almost 1,500 people; or the road rage incident where the driver of a minivan was cut off by another vehicle. The second… Read more »
When someone drives their vehicle in front of yours, then “pushes” your car with their car, there’s a good chance that they have anger, control, and ego issues.
Russian dash camera:
And here all along I thought S Koreans were bad drivers. Compared to Russkies, I wonder if Koreans would even place in the top 5?
Koreans’ driving ambitions might outdo their skills, but Russians just plain don’t give a crap.
I’m going to make a few SWAGs about certain portions of the Russky economy: auto insurance companies are going broke; auto towing, repair, and used car sales are doing very well.a
Just remember about Russians, these are people who keep grizzly bears:

and mountain lions:

as pets.
Not to mention the Putin-riding-a-bear meme, which about actual the norm for the rest of that weekend:
CW, Yep it’s been a few(?) minutes since you were the First on a WOT:
Actually, 352,800 plus minutes and counting since you scored a clean First back on 28 Aug 20./smile
i can’t remember when the last time I got a first on a WOT? But I’m sure Claw will tell me? I was used to them going up around 1300 or 1400 then it seems like they didn’t appear for awhile or was I missing something?? You all do remember the Yugo don’t you??? I would be pissed off too if I had to drive one of those pieces of shit!!! Not to mention the shitty vodka and the fucking cold! That’s why I moved from Colorado to Florida!!!
Just wanted to say Hi to everyone and say goodnight! I didn’t sleep at all last night, so off I go!!!
WW, your most recent “First” on a WOT was on Feb 22, 2019.
But to your credit, you also scored “First”s on the October 31, 2019 Halloween OT and again on the November 11, 2020 Veteran’s Day OT.

Just happy to be here.
Props, Commish!

Wow. CW ftw! Congrats!
I demand a recount. (Tehehehe)
Have a GREAT weekend y’all!
Plans for this weekend: turkey murdering (hopefully), fishing, first hair cut in a year, booze and picking up a kilo bar of silver…
Sleep is always optional.
So god made a liberal.

Sum Bitch. Hack just bailed out of a sales call to sell Red Hat Software to The Oath Keepers, hoping to nab the first entry for this weekend’s Open Thread, but the vast right-wing conspiracy made up of rustlers, cutthroats, murderers, bounty hunters, desperados, mugs, pugs, thugs, nitwits, halfwits, dimwits, vipers, snipers, con men, Indian agents, Mexican bandits, muggers, buggerers, bushwhackers, hornswogglers, horse thieves, bull dykes, train robbers, bank robbers, ass-kickers, shit-kickers and Methodists prevented Hack from claiming the highly coveted and rarely awarded First Post Of The This Ain’t Hell Weekend Open Thread. Hack Stone will have to take in solace knowing that his mind is a raging torrent, flooded with rivulets of thought cascading into a waterfall of creative alternatives, which he has resulted in him being told that his tongue prettier than a twenty-dollar whore.
What in the wide, wide, world of sports is going on here?

You’re welcome!
Hi, from Rock Ridge (or, at least, its inspiration outside Ft Still):
25th and Broadway, y’all know what it is…
Lucky 13. Have a pleasant air force weekend.
Haven’t had one of those since December of 2010. It’s been all Army since January of 2011. But I will say this for my former branch…at least they know how to mount the engines on a C-130!
🤣🥃🍺
1st?
1st/12th Infantry?
Congrats, Commissioner Wretched!
Now back to my weekly lawn mowing……..(does driving around the 2 1/2 acres that needs to be cut, while sitting on my butt, with a cold beverage in the built-in holder and smokes handy, really count as work?) (smile)

Have a great weekend all.
Top 20-ish.
Still FIRST in the hearts and minds of the grandchildren.
4.35″ rain in the GB Compound last night, a friend reports 8″ on the other side of the county. Still wet from the 4.75″ last Friday. Some neighborhoods evacuated, several swiftwater rescues by our local EMS heroes.
Otherwise, all quiet at the GB Compound. Picked first 2 squash of the season today. Corn, green beans, pumpkin, watermelon, and butternut squash growing well.
Maintain all deploribleness my fellow Delta Whiskey/Whiskeyettes.

Biteme can’t find his brain..er, mask. I can’t believe this doofus is POTUS.

Potatus Comicus (POTATo of the US, Then a convenient mix of COMmIe and CUSs)
Unfortunately, this sullies Mel Brooks’ portrayal of Comicus in History of the World Part 1, but I think it’s an apt code name for this tuberific joke of a regime.
Probably can’t find the bathroom, either –
ANY bathroom.
Present and unaccountable, I lay claim to Honorary First once again.
((((OVER))))
Minions are so desperate for employment they’re now shopping for people?
I wonder what tribal affiliation the False Commander “Phony” Phil Monkress (CEO of All-Points Logistics) is claiming today?
Cherokee? Seminole, maybe? Or is he going to go with something new?
Only time will tell.
Flat Head/s
Slapaho
Chief Pokeasmellyhoe.
Chief Pokeafellow.
Green Thumb,
I find it odd, and unsettling, that the
COO of All Points is a US Naval Academy grad,
yet tolerates all the Monkress phony shit, lies, and lawyers.
So, instead of tribal affiliation,
I’ll go to my longstanding alternative,
the “Dances With Wolves Indian Name”.
For this guy, his DWWIN could be
“Stands under Fisted Maize Hole”

I know our Southern brethren may take offense, but sorry guys, you did lose. Besides, all of my families were busy kicking French and Austrian ass at the time. You Union types can thank my Mexican ancestors for that.
I do have to say this…
The ONLY cadet who graduated from West Point with zero demerits was a young man who branched ENGINEER, probably the greatest Soldier who ever lived, Major General Robert E. Lee. Total respect.
