My contribution:
As some of you might know, Archduke Ferdinand’s assassination is what set off the powder keg that was WW1. What is not well known is reporters of the day were able to talk to the Archduke’s driver, Leopold Lojka. Here’s what he had to say on the incident:
I have wondered whether Master and Slave drives have similarly been renamed since I retired.

My body also tells me that I need bacon, BBQ, and beer.
We painted many a cable reel, or the cable itself, with that same notice. It didn’t always keep the bastards from cutting the cable and stealing it. Had several occasions they’d peel the fiber off and steal the big metal reels.
They’ll get an idea when we start playing Patriots and Despots.

“There are some truly disturbed usual suspects.” HEY!…I resemble that remark and I (we) demand a little more disrespect out of you!
All your guns? Tempting…but didn’t you post here recently about paying a “Long, Cool Woman in a Black Dress” to mourn at your funeral? I’ll stun every muh-fugger here to get with THAT. 🍺
I like girls…’specially girls that have been girls all their life. I’m queer that way. Doesn’t even matter if the carpet doesn’t match the drapes…or if it’s linoleum in need of some hard wood placing…
The Tall, Chilly Female wearing dark clothes needs to be (a) apart from the crowd, (b) holding an umbrella, (c) wearing shades, and (d) uncommunicative. Full tank of gas, half a pack of Marlboros, and a certain distance to Chicago is optional.
Rochambeau– kick each other in the nuts– for ’em? He who lands the first solid blow wins.

I will gift you all a joke I found yesterday.
Dad shark is teaching kid shark about hunting, Dad shark says “When you find a human swimming around, circle them 6 or 7 times, then go in for the kill”.
Kid shark says “Why not go straight in for the kill?”.
Dad shark replies “Because they’ll still be full of shit!!!”

Good stuff Maynard !!!
Hard to see that Jonn has been gone for 6 years now.
Man, how things have changed.
And ExPh2 is a year, I think. I don’t remember the date, just that she has been gone for a while now.
Every time I stop by I think about them.
I don’t think about some of the more notable PIA’s…
Thankfully…
Have a good week my friends.
And the others can kiss my grits.

An A-10 meme:
(I think this meme somewhat applies to today as it did back then)
Noblemen be like:
And the meme of the day:
Looks accurate to me.
Happy Sunday!
This beauty popped into my X feed this morning…
Retarded fact of the day-
Slave cables are officially Freedom cables in the ARMY now.
Look it up.
“Slav Kibbles Kyptin Kirk?”
Tribbles?
I looked for an article and found nada (not suggesting anything).
Iffn so, that is in fact retarded. ‘Slave cable’ is a perfectly good way to describe the function of this item.
It most certainly is more than a ‘jumper cable’.

Holy shit, finally found where I belong!!
Tree rounds, Mëmé quick, fused to abuse:
Good luck to my soon-to-be favorite benefactor!

Not guilty….?
That’s not generally my style, I’m sure Reb’ll be by shorty to fix this quandary. Eidetic memory when’n pretty ladies that one!

She’ll make a fortune.
I love the last Simpson’s meme above! Saw that over there in’d westerly place.
My retort, the UN should come over here and do sum’fin about it:
