So, Happy New Year

| December 31, 2010

I’m sure glad that 2010 is gone. In my younger days, I fully expected to be tooling around in my hoover hover car by the time 2010 rolled around, so my disappointment is complete with the end of the year.

However we were able to bust our most flamboyant phony soldier ever, and we got the Army Times to call him Ballduster McSoulpatch.

Then there was the “front pager” that we got fired at VetVoice over their sudden support for “the surge”. And my award winning review of Kayla Williams’ book. Good times.

Our most significant accomplishment this year, I think, was nipping the conversation about James J. Lee, the Discovery Channel Gunman, in the bud. While the Left Wing of the country was trying to blame him on Right, I uncovered a video from our archives in which he proved himself solidly Left with his own words.

Then a few days later, TSO got a USO girl drunk enough to marry him. And a few days after that, Matthis announces that wedding was about him right before IVAW showed him the door.

And we took the VFW PAC to the woodshed.

Even Army Sergeant became an internet sensation briefly with her only post this year when it was picked up by Pam Geller at Atlas Shrugs.

This year, we planted COB6 in a political campaign which stomped the opposition and ensconced him on Capitol Hill somewhere. That’s why you haven’t heard much from him this year. And now TAH can push our own political agenda in the halls of Congress. Those hoover hover cars are a bit closer.

We also opened the This Ain’t Hell Corporate Retreat, although Ponsdorf is the only TAH member to visit us here so far.

Thanks to the thousands of you who’ve made us a tiny part of your busy lives everyday. And thanks for clicking our ads which has bumped up my income to over $30/month. And a special thanks to those of you who’ve seen fit to send us donations. Just when I figure this ain’t worth my time any more, some of you send some money my way – you’ll never know how much that means.

I think I’m going to take some time off this weekend – there are eleven other people who can write here in my stead, and they’re welcome to it.

I hope that all of you have a prosperous and healthy new year.

A hoover car? I’m sorry… the concept is fascinating. Almost as much fun as welcoming you to the ‘geezer’ world. Anything that opens with “In my younger days” is worthy of such.

Have a wonderful and fun New Year young dude.

I’m sorry to say that I’ve made my last posts here for awhile, possibly forever. New job, greener pastures, all that kind of thing. When I get settled, I’ll try to come back. If not, just know that I’ve enjoyed talking with all of you, and I’ve learned a tremendous amount.

May the New Year bring all of you joy in abundance.

Thanks for keeping us up to date and informed on all kinds of cool stuff; stuff that most of your readers wouldn’t be aware of if not for you and your TAH disciples. Happy New Year and here’s to many more!

Jonn n crew:
Y’all have given me hours of reading enjoyment, posts, comments, and links.
I hope to have an update on the slimer, Kyle Barwan soon, and will bring it here, when/if I get it.
Have a great 2011, and keep it coming at us.

Thanks for making my eyes burn, providing reading material for which a facepalm was the only possible reaction, and for all the WTFs (never before uttered in my life). Happy New Year.

At the top of my must read list, you’ve done an outstanding job here and I thank you for it.

Happy New Year to you, Jonn, and everyone else around TAH.

May we all have a fine and prosperous New Year, and may all the frikkin pacifists and leftists get a terminal case of lip fungus and finger clap.

Respects,

Happy New Year to all the staff and owners of TAH. Great job this year and may the next be filled with Google Ad clicks galore. It costs the reader nothing and throws a dime at the old geezer running the site.

BTW: The Marines already have hover craft, to storm the beaches. Join the Corps and you might get to ride in one yet.

Hoover cars suck. I want a HOVER car….or a jet pack.

Semantics, I know.

A very Happy New Year to a great group of men and women here at TAH.

“Don’t wish it were easier, wish you were better.”

I wish for all of you to be better in 2011, so no matter what we may all have to face, the better we all will be to face it.

Happy New Year, Jonn!

So that’s where COB6 has been … DRIVE ON!

Bubblehead Ray

Happy New Year to one and all. I came to TAH, I laughed, I cried, and I kissed many enjoyable hours goodbye. Jonn, for my resolution I promise to try to click the google ads to up your monthly income by at least 6 bits.

Happy New Year Jonn, TSO and everyone at TAH!

Happy New Year to all, thanks Jonn, this place never fails to entertain.

Happy New Year to all–may 2011 bring us all “great success”!!!

“And a few days after that, Matthis announces that wedding was about him right before IVAW showed him the door.”

Let’s not give credit where it isn’t due; IVAW didn’t have the balls to show Matthis the door. They put up with his shit till his paranoia kicked into overdrive, he realized we were right about IVAW being a bunch of limp-wristed one-note ineffectual pussies, and he chose to leave on his own.

Happy New Year!
