Am I First??
Yay!
Yes, yes you are Egg man
Congrats on the first, 2022 first.
Wasn’t even aware there was gonna be one.
Present and accounted for… all fingers and eyes and such.
I was surprised to see it myself, Happy (and safe) New Year to TAH dickweeds and weedettes!!
Present and accounted for…mostly.
Got to say, it’s been a fuct up year and I’m glad to see it gone but gotta add, there’s never going to be enough alcohol to forget it – believe HRH historically referred to it as her ‘Annus Horribilis’. Nevertheless, a very happy and prosperous New Year to each and every TAH denizen – goes the the old Royal Navy toast: to absent friends, and to ourselves, as no one is likely to concern themselves with our welfare… Back to the seclusion of the Pine Line for me, cheers to each and all here.
P.S. apologies to AW1Ed and KoB, will update you further tomorrow, day following.
Take your time, Hatchet. Good to see you back.
HATCHET!!! Tukan Kola! Wakan Wanantu mini wakan, wasicum/wasna. Taku skanskan. aphikiyA!
Glad you popped smoke on our SAR. There have been concerns. Not from me of course, but Dana was a little worried. 😉 Stay in touch.
Now if we could just hear from nobunny!
For those that are keeping up (no cable, couldn’t watch), The South did rise again with The Tide Rolling over the upstart Ohio (little payback for Sam and ‘Cump) and Them Dawgs bit hell out of Michigan (suck it Custer, you vainglorious idjit).
A Most Happy, Safe, Healthy, and Prosperous New Year to all of the Mistercreanted and Adorable Deplorables of OUR TAH Family. Regimental Dining In @ Firebase Magnolia 1200hrs. Be There!
Pilamaya KoB! But with the exception of a shot last night at midnight, largely avoiding the Golden Elixir these days-hint: no one likes an angry drunk. Would’ve been back sooner but have just had too much going on… Update to you and Ed shortly.
Rounds-out. Update sent.
More ASAP.
Standing by for incoming. Will adjust fires as needed. Take your time. Dana sends her love.
Sent to Ed with permission to forward. Pilamaya, Bro.
If convenient, please tell Dana she’s been missed.
Ohnah.
Yum Wohpe Woniya, Kola!
Washte!
Prayers for you Hatchet
Happy New Year…don’t mess it up.
Happy New Year to all with an emphasis on a Healthy New Year!!
Happy New Year 2022 to everyone at MP/VG/TAH.
Wow, just found this.
It’s going to be a Happy New Year for many,
but not for some, in San Clemente, CA.
[STOLEN VALOR – San Clemente, CA Mayor Gene James CAUGHT on TV
wearing an unearned Legion of Merit.]
Happy new year all. May 22 be better than 21 for all.
As far as stolen Valor goes, it will be interesting to see what, if anything, happens to the
“honorable” mayor of San clemente.
Most likely, not a word will be said unless we read it here.
Odie,
While I was away visiting relatives,
and bringing home (and delivering)
pork & sauerkraut leftovers (and take outs),
ANOTHER Tube of the You about Mayor Gene James surfaced today.
Short (28 seconds), but damning.
It takes a special type of idiot to get caught on Live TV (above),
and then more so to get caught POSING (TWICE)
for local magazine photos (below).
[San Clemente, CA Mayor Gene James CAUGHT TWICE
wearing an unearned Legion of Merit. STOLEN VALOR]
The mayor of Tricky Dick’s old stomping grounds? *shrug* Guess it follows. What a putz…
Odie and Hatchet,
Do you think the site admins would mind if I (or anyone else)
plopped these 2 Tube of the You videos
over on the Mayor Gene James VG #2 article?
Comments over there are open for about 9 more days.

I’m not sure who the site administrator in charge is, but I don’t see a problem.
But I’m not part of the site admins.
Happy New Year!
Why can’t someone invent fireworks that won’t give my Shih Tzu a panic attack?
If I may gently suggest –

My sympathies to your fur-person.
Cool. Now if they’d just invent some that a cat would accept…
New guy in the AO was blowing a lot of those big bang rockets and scads of strings of firecrackers last night. >sigh<
All our critters showed up for chow hall this a.m., though
And a Happy New Year to you!
FIRST # 12, and a Happy New Year to all.
Happy New Year to all you miscreants and many more to come!
I refuse to do anything I don’t feel like doing today, other than waking the cat out of a perfectly good nap.
Happy New Year to all, and good to see you Hatchet.
Went out for a fine dining experience for New Year’s Eve with reservations (double entrende)
Very fine restaurant, the kind you normally need a reservation for months in advance for New Year’s Eve…place was half empty. That actually made me sad.
Second reservation was concerns over how good the meal and service would be on what is traditionally one of the busiest food service nights of the year… meal and service were great, as it wasn’t very busy. That was a happy-for us, sad for them-consequence of the dem-panic.
Stopped by my local Legion to ring in the New Year and was still tucked in by 1:30am. Would have been sooner but the dogs had their own party while I was out and got into every. thing. Including two food cupboards. Ended up finding a well-chewed but thankfully unpunctured can of Spam on. my. bed…with the covers, blankets, pillows, etc., all over the floor. Due to the level of destruction, I initially thought I had a break-in. I wish I had cameras set up because I cannot figure out how they did some of what they did.
In other words, it was a fitting end to 2021…chaos, emptiness, but still managed to be happy with like-minded folks. And 2022 is starting out fine, beginning with two dogs who are going to the groomer. Hopefully, they think it is punishment for last night’s antics.
Thanks OAM. It’s been a bit of year… Glad to see 2021 gone!!
A semi-chewed can of Spam on the bed, with all bed linens strewn on the floor? Sounds like a rather serious case of dual canine rambunctiousness. One for the books, for sure. *shrug* At least they weren’t playing with matches!! Yeah. Probably time to grab a couple of GoPro’s..
Cheers.
A blessed and peaceful New Year to you, OAM.
I’ve found that trail cameras are good for catching antics like that. (In our AO usually ‘coons & ‘possums)
And from what I’ve seen, cheaper than a GoPro – YMMV
Hatchet, Graybeard, yes, cameras will have to be set up because they are quite the pair. Then again, Video proof of their plotting may be funny but would definitely be creepy. And not how I want to start the New Year.
Someone ring The False Commander “Phony” Phil Monkress (CEO of All-Points Logistics) and ask him if he has stolen any valor or heritage in this very new New Year.
Have a question for all of you keeping count at home. If someone is shot in Chicago at 11:45 PM on December 31, 2021, but does not die until 12:30 AM on January 1, 2022, does their death get counted against 2021 0r 2022?
As of December 30, 2021, at least 820 homicides, and they were all killed by white police officers, because we are told they are the biggest threat to African Americans.

Happy New Year to all of you.
Record setting heat in the AO – but have pine straw around the roses, azaleas, gardenia, fig, and pecan sapling in case it really does get cold tonight.
God bless each and every one of you through the coming year.
A belated HAPPY NEW YEAR to all of the Fine People of TAH®™️, may the coming year bring happiness, good health and prosperity!!!
