Hack Stone

Much like Jerry Seinfeld cheating on his high school track event, Hack Stone Suspects that KoB “jumped the gun”. That’s the only way he could beat Hack.

Commissioner Wretched

Comforting to see the King of Battle back in the coveted, always-earned, never-given FIRST in the WOT! Roh-Dog is a worthy leader but there’s nothing like having the one and only triple-ace in the spot. So, in honor of everything, here’s the week’s trivia! Enjoy, friends. DID YOU KNOW…? Which television network carried the first Super Bowl game in 1967? By Commissioner Wretched didyouknowcolumn@gmail.com Before we begin, I need to thank a sharp-eyed reader of the column in Warner Robins, Georgia, who pointed out that if a person buys all possible Powerball™ ticket combinations, you not only win the big jackpot, but you win all the lesser jackpots too. Math isn’t my long suit, though. Thank you, Dale! With the first of the four year-end holidays coming up Sunday, I want to conclude the search for a good 2021 Halloween costume with these ideas: Aliens – I found a website which has a large selection of costumes designed to make you look like you came from another planet. Not a bad idea, unless you really do come from another planet. Astronauts – If, like me, you’ve always been thought of as a Space Cadet, these are the choices for you! Animals – How about a nice deer costume? All you’d need then are the headlights to be caught in. Finally, Nerds – No thanks, those look too much like my regular wardrobe. Oh, well. I’ll just go as a human being and scare the heck out of everybody. Be sure to be here next week, to celebrate the fifth anniversary of this silliness! Did you know … … a song by the Beatles contains a sound that only dogs can hear? According to Sir Paul McCartney (born 1942), the song “A Day in the Life” has a high-pitched whistle beyond the frequency of human hearing – but dogs can hear it just fine. The song is on the “Sgt. Pepper’s Lonely Hearts Club Band” album. (Rated Number One with a Milk-Bone™ by dogs everywhere!) … every known planet in the Solar System has been visited by spacecraft from Earth?

Thank ye CW, been laying real low on Fridays, just to open it up a bit. Giving at least a 10 count before I hit the post thingie. Traffic seems down a bit today, could be the power outages everywhere. North East is still getting hammered.

You got us tickets to see Los Bravos play up in May-Rhetta? Haven’t watched any pro sports in a loooooong time now, but would quietly root root root for the home team. If I was planning a conventional burial, my pallbearers would be a mixture of the Braves, the Falcons, and the Dawgs, so they could all let me down one last time.

Halloween Costume? Figured I’d get nekkid, get on a skateboard and go as a pull toy.

Another fine job on the trivia, as always. It is appreciated.

“A Day In The Life” also closes with the longest piano chord, believe I read is held for 43 seconds?

King Cong-rats to KoB

Beautiful but breezy day in the GB AO

Airborne Son remembered me making a 7′ tall kit in his childhood – flew real well, too. Told his kiddos, who came over to have me make them a kite. “Since you’re not working, Gran’pa” (I was in the garden).

My grandparent card is in jepordy – I’ve made two and neither flew well – another example of trying to make a rush job fly only to have it crash. But they were so eager (and cute)…

I’ll have to spend the time to do it right now.

KoB

Prolly just need to have a little more “tail”.

Stay dry Bro.

Graybeard

That’s what I’m thinking. Just didn’t have any more material with me when we tried, and the wind would die unexpectedly…

Frankie Cee

While Y’all were beating your F-5 key like it was your favorite “piece of meat”, I was enjoying my home range. Today’s exercise was from 75 Yds, Standing, shooting my Bear Creek Arsenal AR-15 Multi-Caliber Carbine.

Graybeard

Green with envy.

On the other hand, I’ve been busy trying to put together the materials I need to train older grands in firearms safety and usage, with an eye toward self defense when they are older.

Frankie Cee

The first, most important, element to self defense and safety is “Situational Awareness”. Easily taught, usually absorbed. Without that, all the rest is just “show”.

Graybeard

We talk about it, but in my experience one of the problems youngsters have with “situational awareness” is distinguishing normal-but different, unusual, and red-flag behavior.
They just don’t have enough experience outside of their circles of family/church/school/peers yet.
The next problem is developing/implementing a plan of action on the fly if the red flag does pop. Again, not enough experience in doing it.
Teaching youngsters one has to always remember that there are a ton of things we experienced old geezers know as a matter of course that they have never learned.

What helps me is to remember my thoughts and actions when I was working a snow-cone truck in Houston in the area south of the Dome, and a pair of guys robbed me in front of a 7-11, then a day or two later when I was stopped and a large group of youth swarmed the truck and took it (and me) on a joyride.
Technically, I was kidnapped.
Turns out the guy I worked for had said something on the news about us being allowed to carry a shotgun, and the kids wanted to see it. When I didn’t have one, they decided to drive the truck around a while.
I quit when I got back to the office.
But I remember not knowing what to do, nor how to respond, because I’d never been in that situation before.
These kids are in the same fog. We have to show them details of what situational awareness means. I saw the two thieves, and didn’t respond in time to get away, I saw the group of kids and didn’t click that things were not normal. Insufficient situational awareness there.

Great fuckers
NOW I’m trying to figure out how and where I’m going to procure and shoot one of these…

This guy has the best tikigate expose. he has ID’d all of the tiki clowns. They are all VA D-rats and have nothing to do with the Lincoln Man-Boy project. There are photos online of a couple of them in one of the campaign vehicles of McAwful.

The ninja family along with friends, co-workers and others NAILED IT when we all stated Outgoing Virginia Governor “Coon-Man” Ole Ralphie Boy Northam WAS the KKK Dude in his College Yearbook:

“KKK Member Posing By Glenn Youngkin’s Bus Turns Out To Be Ralph Northam”

https://babylonbee.com/news/kkk-member-posing-by-glenn-younkins-buss-turns-out-to-be-ralph-northam

“A KKK member posing outside Glenn Youngkin’s bus, ostensibly to support the gubernatorial candidate, has turned out to actually just be Governor Ralph Northam in his trusty Klan hood.”

“We’re all in for Glenn! We’re all in for Glenn!” the man in the white hood chanted as Youngkin’s bus pulled into a campaign stop in Charlottesville. “We racists love Glenn. Vote for Glenn! We are not associated with the Democratic Party whatsoever, despite the white robe and hood! Go, Republicans!”

“One group of curious youths, who had arrived there in a van, was determined to get to the bottom of who exactly this KKK member was. “Something seems a little sus here,” the group’s leader said while hiding behind the bus. He leaped out and pulled the hood off the KKK member. “Why, it’s Ralph Northam! Zoinks!”

“Well, this is awkward, heh,” Northam said. He tried to use his pocket sand to escape, but got tripped up on his robes. “You didn’t see anything here!” he shouted as he stumbled away. “I would have gotten away with it too, if it weren’t for you meddling kids!”

“Looks like Ralph Northam’s blasting off agaaaaaaaaain!!!” (His aides then informed him this was the wrong franchise).”

“At publishing time, Northam had been spotted posing at another Youngkin event in blackface.”

Dennis - not chevy

Will someone tell me why it is necessary to wear a camouflage uniform in stateside garrison? Old fashioned utilities worked just fine, thank you.
I was walking down the hallway on a USAF base as a Sailor was walking towards me. She was wearing (what I believe is called) the working uniform. I wondered who she was and what rank she held. I tried and apparently failed to be discrete.
Thank all that is good I have a 214 because the Captain give me a look that knocked my ancestors out of the tree.

rgr769

Everyone wants to wear camo cuz you looks like a badass special operator. I think they should issue all these garrison warriors with full battle rattle, but just give them rubber guns. That way they all look like they are about to get on the bird.

A Proud Infidel®™

I remember one time I was on a Stateside Air Force base in my Army Uniform sporting the E5 Rank I held at the time, while walking towards the BX I had some young AF E3 SALUTE ME to which my calm reply was “Carry on Airman, you don’t salute me, I’m an NCO!” after which I came across a USAF Captain, and of course I saluted him while giving the proper greeting and he returned my Salute with a look in his eyes like he was afraid I was going to kill and eat him right there on the spot!
