I’m taking off for part of the day to play with my wife so here’s a place to discuss whatever you want. Here’s some food for thought from our buddy Dave in Texas at Ace. I can hear the phonies salivating from here.

GT, me? Get outside? I have spent the bulk of this week following a 32-man squad (contubernium) of Roman soldiers into an ambush by Picts up near the Antonine Wall.
I don’t know how much more outside I can get.
Okay, so why the hell can I log on and post from my phone but not from either desktop or laptop at home computers? Did Jonn IP block me or am I gonna have to make a nasty call to my ISP tomorrow?
Neither. Clear your cache.
I did. On both computers. On one I even installed a new browser. Same result. Go figure.
@103. Or, set your computer to automatically clear the cache every time you log off. Then, you can’t forget to do it.
@94, AirCav, thanks for throwing in Combat. And, some of the funniest TV ever? Johnny Carson with Jonathon Winters, or Don Rickles.
UpNorth…do that too.
It’s being blocked by my ISP. Verified by loading page from phone. Then cleared phone cache and tried to log in using WiFi. No go. Then went back to normal cell data/browsing. Works fine.
Time to give ISP nasty phone call in am.
@94 and 106, you just reminded me of the old Dean Martin celebrity roasts. Some of the funniest shit ever from masters of comedy.
The Carol Burnett Show. I loved it when they all cracked up and tried so hard to not crack.
The sweatiest movies ever made:
Ben=Hur – the horses in the chariot race
Cool Hand Luke — hot sun
Alien – fear sweat
Rough Night in Jericho – men in tight pants
Memorable lines from movies:
‘I reckon so.’
‘I used to have power.’
‘I’ll be back.’
‘Get away from her, you bitch!’
‘This is Spartacus!!!!!’
‘Endeavor to persevere.’
I hope you play nice! And if you must play naughty…be good at it! Enjoy!!
Best line all thread.
#26 – I’m a very good dancer. You know how they say women equate dancing with sex? I tell you what, dancing well got me more sex than I could ever get by talking.

Yippie Kai-Yay, Motherfucker
Say what again.
English, Motherfucker, do you speak it?
My shallow revelation: I was interviewed for a local TV channel recently. Granted, that’s nothing compared to the exposure some of the TAH luminaries have gotten, but my family thought it was cool.
@98.
Just talking Marine Corps here but if you are inside a building you don’t do anything for colors ( played outside), not even as much as break stride. If you are outside you stop, face towards the flagpole or music and salute. If you are in a car on an installation and you can hear the music you simply stop.
On board ship the squids announced “colors” “carry on” and blew the whistles over the 1MC.
!114.
In the Army, you would stop the car, open your door, step outside, face and salute.
I am unsure if that is still SOP, but used to be.
Then fun begins when you have some young private or cherry LT that blows this reg off and you have some crazy 1SG or such screaming and running down the road chasing their car as you stand and watch.
@115, not on the Army bases I’ve been recently (last few years). Now, just stop the car and wait for colors to complete. Maybe not everywhere, but I’ve seen it in Hawaii and a couple of other places.
Master Chief, if you’re still having urinary malfunction issues, when you take that sample to the vet, you could ask about their special diet to control urinary crystals. It’s Hills C/D, and it smells a lot like deviled ham.
Mikey loves it. He goes and does his cheetah stud dance by the fridge when he gets it.
@116.
@115 was me.
Getting out was SOP in Benning 05 time frame and when I left the islands (Schofield) in 08, we still got out.
AD saluted and civilians just stood there, if they bothered getting out. I think the only place that you did not do it was main gate, etc due to security and traffic issues or if you were in a GOV moving to the ranges. But POV’s, you got out.
It could be a post regulation, I do not know.
I know when I came op in TOG, you had better get out but that was 98-02.
Things change.
Ex-PH2 – My Favorite movie lines are mostly from Armageddon.
You brought a Gun in Space!?
Will you please tell Rockhound to get off the 2 ton nuke.
It’s a Goddamn Greek Tragedy
I understand that you were handicapped by a natural immaturity, and I forgive you.
The fate of the planet is in the hands of a bunch of retards I wouldn’t trust with a potato gun.
That last one is actually true.
@115 Lol. On a Sunday afternoon in the winter of ’61 I watched the CG of Ft Devens read the riot act to a couple of 8 or 9 year old kids because they didn’t stop their snowball fight when retreat sounded. Struck me as an odd sort of reaction for a GO and I wouldn’t be surprised if their father(s) didn’t have to RBI on that, which seemed to be SOP in those days.
@199 — ROFLMAO! Last line is completely true!!! Two thumbs up on that!!
