Weekend Open Thread
The Governor of Illinois cares so much about his health, and that of others, that he is willing to wear a facemask. Putting a facemask on is easy, but not as easy as being wise when it comes to what is on the daily menu. Enjoy your weekend.

First!
Congratulations Roh-Dog!
YAY, I was buys posting in the other Fundraiser thread and reaching for my credit card to try to fight for the WoT.
SO that being said…..HERE!!!!, Motherfuckers.
LIke 4th or something….now, back to the tin cup and clicking the cc linky,.
(AND yes, I do have to drop the AoI on Bradley James White in-between answering work e-mails. Shit, you’d think on a holiday weekend but NOOOOOOOO 😀 😀
Pricktzer, and the other health stasi, can eabod.
Donation (what I can scrape together) inbound. (I have a problem, midwayusa has all my monies)
Shrimp cocktail and long islands (or wine) for a light snack before grilled chicken, garlic mashed ‘tates, asparagusis, vanilla ice cream for dessert.
Have a great weekend y’all!
MidwayUSA has had their way with you too?
I’m glad to see that I’m not the only one.
Damn, well at least my most recent self-abuse (?) is coming from CMMG. (The cry of *my* Banshee is in 45 ACP)
Rats of the Kong my Good Sir on your FIRSTNESS. The Crown is yours. Way to keep it in the (GO) Army (BEAT) Navy Family. Now pass me over one of them thar frosty Miller Lites. Haven’t had anything watered down in a while now. What ya got to munch on while we wait for the kick off upcoming tomorrow for SEC Football? (RTR/HBTD!)
To our FAVORITE Rebel:
GABN/HBTD/RTR!!!
Hope Herschel Walker wins!!!
😎😉
I wasn’t going to do it but I felt the need, the need for speed.
About the miller lite situation, one left in the fridge. Keep meaning to re-up but people have started up with the mask theater here and I can’t fking handle it. Maybe I’ll go before the after work crowd swamps the packie.
Next week I’m working so you’ll have the shot at’er.
Congrats, Roh-Dog!
Aren’t you the QoB, i.e. Bennings School For Boys?
😉😎
And you know this, MAN!
Thanks much, ninja
Rats of the Cong t’ye, milord Roh!
FIRST?
Hack Stone would like to claim First Post for The This Ain’t Hell Weekend Open Thread for Friday September 3, 2021, but he has come to accept the fact that there are those out who will all within their power, legal and otherwise, from making This Ain’t Hell Great Again. May America someday wake up from this deep sleep.
And this being Labor Day Weekend, please took a moment to remember those who cannot find gainful through no fault of their own, other than believing Phil Monkress of All Points Logistics when he said he had their six when they went on the Internet to defend his false claims of being a US Navy SEAL.
Always a prison bridesmaid, never a prison bride. Maybe next week.
Late but here.
Damn, he looks like a union goon that needs a better suit.
Or one of those trusses advertised in VFW magazine.
He’s SO FAT that he got mistaken for a School Bus the last time he wore a yellow rain jacket.
He’s SO FAT that a Whale harpooned HIM the last time he went to the beach.
AW1 Ed’s Fundraiser thread for TAH is up. I hit it, others hit it, now you go hit it. Pry those wallets open and support the team.
Yes, you too.
Don’t leave our hosts behind.
Done. I hit it as hard as I’d imagine IDC SARC has hit other things. Not as hard as I’d have liked. Not as hard as Nancy Pelosi and/or Hillary Clinton in the face with a sledgehammer hard…Not hatefuck AOC hard…..not as hard as I’d push KoB out of trying to butt into the front of the line to get to and bow down before Denise/OAM, who, in a moment of generosity but probably not her wisest, allowed a photo of her absolutely stunning, gorgeous self to be posted in the thread the other day (where I had to use a good bit of self control to not comment therein, as it was neither the time nor, the place but to do so, no, but now, Oh, NOW…. *winkwinkwinkwink*…not nearly as hard as ex-Alaska Governor Sarah Palin, who I’d hit as hard as her husband was hit in the head when he had that snowmobile accident, which probably explains their subsequent divorce in 2020…which means she’s SINGLE!!! YEAH!!!!
But I digress…
If you want TAH/VG to continue, throw them some $$$, PLEASE,
The As(s)teroid of Insults®™ depends on US for a home!!!! 😀 😀 😀
Chippy, you could have two (2) Cat D-9s pushing and the booster rockets from the Space Shuttle (at full throttle up) pulling and you could not budge me from the front of the line to pay hommage and kiss the hand of OAM. Matter of fact you’d probably rather try to sandpaper a wildcat’s butt in a phone booth than to even attempt that.
If Sarah Palin had of run on her own for Prez back in 08, without McStain, I believe she woulda won. The voters are tired of the same ol’, same ol’ career politicians, one reason why Oblowme and Trump both did so well. Some inherwebz goody shots of Sarah. I had #7 as the screen saver thingie on my Company ‘putor till IT came in and did an upgrade…made it go poof. Enjoy!

No host left behind…..I’m onboard.
Our very own KoB posted this breakin story two days ago.
Condolences goes out to AW1Ed and Mick…we know they are grieving.
Poor guys. We really feel sorry for both of them…

“Top Gun: Maverick, release date for Novemver 19, 2021 will now debut on May 27, 2022”
“Top Gun: Maverick,’ ‘Mission: Impossible 7,’ ‘Jackass Forever’ Release Dates Delayed”
https://www.foxnews.com/entertainment/top-gun-maverick-mission-impossible-7-jackass-forever-release-dates-delayed
Shots fired…again! Way to put one across their bows, ninja. My shot was more of a sneak attack in their wake. I believe their trailing nixie mighta cause a premature eruption. Or maybe, they are just prignoring us…you know…because of their grief over the once again postponement.
We will be actively supporting Herschel’s run. His AO is just across the river 1 & 1/2 counties over. I was honored to meet him in one of the businesses that I called on there when he was still in HS, again while at UGA, and after he went pro. We provided (and he paid for) the old school big TVRO Dish at his Mama’s house when he went pro so she could watch him on the network backfeeds. The demonrats are already hard at work trying to dig up “dirt” on him for the upcoming election. You know they just hate when anyone tries to leave the “Plantation”.
Sadly I’m concerned that it will no longer matter who and how the voters vote. We now know who counts the votes.
Gonna finish my little chore list FIRST (ht 2 Roh-Dog) thing in the morning, cause this is one of the very few weekends I’ll be able to watch the games on broadcast TV. So many of them are now on cable. I predicted this years ago when the Dish companies were starting to scramble their signals. Eventually Championship games will be Pay per view.

So fat!
With 28 more days to go before the end of the Fiscal Year, here is an interim report on totals from the Valor Vultures Tote Board:
Space Farce and Puddle Pirates have yet to score, Zoomies trail the Crayon Eaters by three and a half, who in turn trail the Swabbies by two and a half, who in turn trail the Grunts by six and a half.
That is all.////
The False Commander “Phony” Phil Monkress (CEO of All-Points Logistics) and his less-than-honorable senior staff continue to avoid calls seeking clarification of his Navy SAL, Native American and Law Enforcement claims that he has used to procure taxpayer-funded government set aside contracts.
That’s not a mask…That’s a Fork Shield…
Hablar del Diablo….
QAnon Shaman pled guilty today.
He’ll remain behind bars until sentencing.
Worse…
Remember his Mommy Martha Chansley speaking on TV,
proclaiming his innocence,
and other blather??
Well, it turns out, THE WHOLE FAMILY IS CUCKOO.
They advised Q Shaman to NOT take a plea deal,
(even after Biden was inaugurated)
because when Trump is soon returned to office as the President,
Trump will then PARDON him.

26L,
LOLOLOLOL
Hate that ShamWow guy,
almost as bad as that colon cleanser guy (Klee Irwin).
No, it’s THIS guy…. and his whacko mommy.
I was “out and about” today, doing my “First of the Month” shopping, having good luck at all the stops, until I was about to turn left off the highway, into my local hardware store. I had to stop to let an oncoming car come by, and I got rear ended by a guy in a Chevy pickup that had his head up his ass. I had a dog in the back of the truck, (secured by my “redneck dog cage”), and he was thrown from the front of the bed to the back of the bed. He and I are alright, but he was sure spooked. My old Ford took a good hit, but I have a really heavy utility bed, and that kept the rest of the truck safe. There is enough damage that it might be totalled. Other driver admitted fault, and his insurance has more benefits than mine so GEICO is running the claim on his policy. You can see a little of the damage in the photo at my blog, using this link:
https://frankieceecanseetheseasi.blogspot.com/2021/09/well-crap.html
Final score: I drove my old 1996 Ford F-250 home, and the other guy rode with his wife while his 2013 Silverado went on a wrecker.
Old guys and old trucks didn’t get old because we are weak.
Further, to frustrate the gun grabbers; I was armed, concealed, as always, and I didn’t even pull my S&W and start shooting the guy up. Imagine that.
Nice to see you back Frankie Cee.
The engine? Thank God NO! It it is a 351 and that gets bad enough mileage, 10 MPG, 10.5 with a tailwind and downhill.
My dad had 77 F150 with a 400. 8 mpg. Didn’t matter if it was loaded, empty, uphill, downhill, headwind or tailwind. Damn thing would pull your house off the foundation. At 8 mpg.
I am working my way back to active. I need to get away from FAKEbook, but still want to be online. I am also at MeWe, and at my blog:
https://frankieceecanseetheseasi.blogspot.com/
Like Jeff said, good to see you again, Frankie.
Glad you and the dog are ok.
Is it a 460?
Your reply went to Jeff, above.
The engine? Thank God NO! It it is a 351 and that gets bad enough mileage, 10 MPG, 10.5 with a tailwind and downhill.
Hey, I swapped to a tuned intake, new carb, shorty headers, and new free-flow exhaust… and rocketed up to 14 mpg on the highway. And that’s with 2.73 gears. Imagine if I had something south of 3.50!
Re the above mention of Midway: have aged out of their computer system three times to date, and have Midway stamped brass still in use – acquired when EVERYTHING came on free shipping!
Biden gets criticized by grieving mother due to his handling of the Afghanistan withdrawal, mother gets her Instagram account suspended. Had this happened under Trump, and she criticized him, she would have been elevated by the media.
https://www.newsbusters.org/blogs/free-speech/tierin-rose-mandelburg/2021/09/01/censortrack-tr-big-tech-silences-congressman
Instagram, Twitter and Farcebook have all proven themselves to be slobbering minions to the DNC just like the mainstream media.

“If it were not for double standards they would have no standards at all”.
37 and I would have been 36 but was at the donation site dropping TAH support sheckles. This Sept 8th is going to be 3 months since my rotator cuff surgery. The time seemed to go faster than a mailbag at a train whistle stop. can now use my right hand to make the part in my 1950’s haircut and right hand to put a little wave on top.
You still got hair?
Yea Beans, but a little balding on top which doesn’t interfere with the wave on top. I use Brylcream when I go out dancing with the Girls. A little dab will do ya.
Gold Star mother that was disrespected by Biden? Donald Trump comforts her:

Some US Military Equipment, that was in Afghanistan, ended up in Iran:

Well, at least no F-14 spare parts was in the inventory.

Just watched a seven man crew remove 60(?) year old asbestosis siding from a house down the street. Done in under four hours thrown in a dumpster and away it went. Life is faster without OSHA, wait and see if anybody noticed.
I’ve *COUGH* heard rumor about some people simply putting vinyl siding over it…
Friend of mine took a bunch of panels of the stuff home when
they tore down the old Hampden Academy in Maine. Early 80’s.
He sided one wall of his barn with it so his kids could play wally ball.
So, most everybody here is familiar with my wonderful and amazing DAV Daughter and some of the things that she has had to deal with while dealing with the VA and Lord knows whatever and wherever the VA and assorted other agencies throughout the seemingly endless bureaucracy infused life she lives while she attempts to deal with something called, CRPS, along with MST and PTSD from the Military Sexual Trauma she experienced. (you have no idea how hard it is to say that)…..
CRPS, Complex Regional Pain Syndrome is known throughout the health care system as the suicide disease as there is no relief from a constant level of pain that runs at 85-90, constantly on a scale of 1-100.
How she handles it I have no clue, but she has taken on this Mt Elbert Challenge after being asked to join with three other Veterans dealing with CRPS on their own to climb Mt Elbert, the highest peak in the state of Colorado.
This Podcast runs a bit over 30 minutes and is self explanatory as my beautiful daughter Shannon trains to get ready for this huge challenge to bring CRPS to the forefront of treatment at the VA and in the civilian health care market.
If you can spare a few bucks for her it would be appreciated.
I, get nothing, I am financing myself and my doggie going to Colorado to support her as she climbs the tallest peak she has ever climber.
CRPS is a killer, plain and simple, a killer. It destroys everything in the sufferer’s life and ends up destroying the life itself as they attempt to live with something that has only been recently listed as a syndrome.
A ton of Veterans have this, my heart goes out to all of them that do. Your struggle is not in vain.

Wow – this is an impressive challenge. Good on Shannon and her teammates for doing this. They are inspiring me today as I face some very minor in comparison challenges in the weeks ahead.
Please pass along my gratitude to Shannon.
Sorry about the long delay in posting this week’s trivia, but I had to be out of town most of the day and just got home. (Not an acceptable excuse, I know, but it’s the truth, and that’s all I have.) Here you go, friends … enjoy! DID YOU KNOW…? Did a famous American candy maker escape the “Titanic” disaster by canceling his trip? By Commissioner Wretched Is it just me, or is time really racing by? Last year, dragging through all the lockdowns and stuff, it seemed like the days would never end. (Things seem that way when one is stuck inside, wouldn’t you say?) Now, though, we’re almost finished with summer, and autumn is right around the corner, and it seems as if summer just got started. What’s going on? Is time really moving faster, or am I just reacting to it more slowly? (Don’t laugh. I have a birthday coming up this month – my 63rd. My reactions are really getting slow.) Regardless, you didn’t come here to read my gripes, you came here to read trivia. So here it is! Did you know … … dollar values on the board game Monopoly™ have not changed since the game was introduced by Parker Brothers in 1935? If modern values were used on the properties on the board, the most expensive space in the game, Boardwalk – then and now only $400 – would cost a player $6,690 today. (But think of what you’d get for passing “Go”! Half that amount.) … most dreams only last between a few seconds and thirty minutes? (Gee, they seem so long, too.) … kissing helps prevent tooth decay? (I must find a way to research that item some more.) … the world’s tallest mountain gets taller every year? Mt. Everest, on the border of Nepal and Tibet, stands 29,028 feet above sea level, and it grows less than one-fifth of an inch a year. Two tectonic plates – the Indian plate and the Asian plate – are pushing against each other, and that pushing created the Himalaya mountain range. The two… Read more »
My Man CW! Better late than never! Good stuff, as always. Thanks for showing up.
Not sure about a dream, but I did have a nightmare that lasted for nearly 4 years.
If you could lick your eyebrows you might get more dates. 😛
Fifty-some and Honorary First once again.
((((OVER))))
Late to the party, but this time for a good cause. Bought three boxes of tomatoes, and me and wifey spent the afternoon and evening blanching, skinning, and canning, in anticipation of delicious days to come.
Plan on going back for a fourth box.
Ummmmm ummm.
What’s on his daily menu? Apparently everything.

Afghanistan refugees turn out to be a Pandora’s box
Centers processing Afghanistan refugees are facing a lot of surprises. For instance, many Afghan men have brought their child brides with them. This may have been legal in parts of Afghanistan, but not in the US. To make matters worse, they were given exemptions from being tested for Covid 19 prior to entering the United States.

Amazon to be more proactive with removing sites that violate terms
Amazon is taking a more proactive role with identifying websites that violate terms of use. Right now, they are looking at sites that were ran by radical Islamists. As a recap, Amazon kicked Parler out of its services right after the capitol riot. Throw in the “social credit system” from the other post and we could see where this is heading:

Boris Johnson blames Joe Biden on the Taliban takeover
Boris Johnson laid out a lot of what had been said on the site. Those who deployed to Afghanistan, those who worked there, saw the nature of the Afghan troops, as well as the Afghan government, saw that neither would be able to hold up that long without Western backing. British forces returning to the UK relayed this information to their counterparts. Boris Johnson received these reports as well. It makes it hard for Joe Biden to distance himself from something that should have been predictable to his regime.
https://www.washingtonexaminer.com/policy/defense/national-security/boris-johnson-taliban-takeover-predictable
All I had to see was that video of the Afghan Army recruits who were attempting to do jumping jacks to confirm my suspicion that they were not trainable. Sure you could teach them how to shoot an AK, but with low IQ’s and the inability to read and write, let alone count past ten, how could anyone expect them to be trained to be part of a modern army. Then we find that they regularly deserted and were high on dope frequently. Finally, couple that with a 7th century mindset, and you have a formula for failure.
General Milley in interview: Afghanistan to enter Civil War, Al-Qaeda will reconstitute
During an interview General Milley stated that the Taliban would not be able to consolidate power. This should contribute to an environment to where different groups fight for power and terrorist groups would set up bases of operations there.
This had been predicted on this site for an aftermath of a withdrawal. Trump had a plan in place for this, but the installed regime had different withdrawal plans:
https://www.foxnews.com/politics/milley-says-civil-war-in-afghanistan-likely-after-us-withdrawal-could-lead-to-reconstitution-of-al-qaeda
However, this infighting would be among those who believe that the world will one day be Islam. Here, the Taliban announce that not only will Islam came to Afghanistan, it will come to the world.
When they say this, they mean their brand of Islam will dominate the entire world. Meanwhile, the left is “preparing the battle field” for them with their Critical Race and Woke initiatives:

If you’re fully vaccinated, you do not have to worry about getting the booster, this is according to the CDC. So far, only specifically designated groups should get the booster:
