Weekend open thread
I guess it’s been a few weeks since we’ve had one of these, and I have some business in Winchester, VA, so I’ll be gone for a while and you can keep yourselves occupied talking about me while I’m gone.

It has increased. Now, it’s pouring out of the sky. Not happy. I will fix eggs on toasted shredded wheat and bacon for breakfast (strawberry jam on the side) before I venture out and shovel that stuff. With every shovelful that I lift, I will remember all the horse manure I shoveled out of the barn when I was in college and think of people like phildo, the bunny sniffer, zippy the pinhead blake, and the most recent horse apple that REALLY pissed me off, bernath the phony cpo.
The birds have figured out that they can see me through my window, so they stop to check every morning, then they go to the birdfeeder. They are smarter than a lot of people who pretend to be ex-military. 😉 And the shiny black secret squirrel climbed the birdfeeder hook and stole the woodpecker bar and ate it. I know where she lives. She’s fat. She’s probably going to have several little secret squirrels by springtime. It looks to be a long, snowy winter up here in the great frozen north.
We had snow Friday which I do not like but then a “Chinook” wind, as we call them, came in from the south and melted it all. Now this morning their is black ice everywhere. I dislike it the most. Even though I have studded tires you have to watch out for fools in 4 wheel drives who think they can still drive like it is a summer’s day.
I should have added I am in the Southeast corner of Washington State in The Tri Cities near the Hanford Nuclear Reservation.
I was in a rather seedy establishment last night.
I walked into he men’s room and was immediately assaulted with the smell of stale beer, old urine, feces and vomit.
I thought of Phildo.
We are burying Walter P. Bishop, P.E. this weekend. An Air Force veteran who thru the GI went on to be one of our nations best mechanical engineers. He trained 4 of my 6 siblings, who are now all successful mechanical, electrical and or industrial engineers. He was my father’s best friend.
@55 MCPO NYC. All my sympathies for the loss of your friend. God bless you and his family as well.
Thanks Sparks. It is 74 degrees in NYC today. Heading north to FOB Warwick soon. Hope it is more Christmas like.
Vwpissyboy, leaving a loaded firearm within easy reach of a child is already against the law. The adult that left the firearm where the kid could find and get it needs to be prosecuted! See we don’t need more laws, we just need to enforce what’s already there!
You lose yet again.
My bathroom is uninhabitable for now, the “fart fan” is going full tilt after I dropped a “Phillip Wickre Giduck” in there after the chili dogs with extra onion and a hit of sauerkraut I ate yesterday, the stench peeled some of the paint off the walls!
God speed Walter Bishop, Master Chief.
I have shoveled the sidewalk, put out salt, put out birdfood, and now I can’t concentrate on writing. I need fresh air.
See ya!
Did anyone get invited to the Phildo’s taxpayer-funded Christmas party?
I did not. But I will not hold it against you if anyone did.
For those of you who click on the ads, well first, we should all be clicking on the ads but the ad for PC Mover caught my eye and I ordered it. I used it for my new Christmas laptop, (which the wife does not know I have opened yet because I was suppose to wait for Christmas Day). It worked great and moved all of my programs and stuff over to the new PC with no hassles. Great product!
Okay, okay…I put the laptop back in the box like a sniveling coward and put it back under the tree all wrapped up. Thank goodness for her LONG shopping trips with friends. Thank goodness she does not read TAH! 😀
We mortgaged the farm for RGIII.
We have nothing left.
I bet the Rams are laughing….
F-16s are being converted to drones for fighter pilot training. http://msnvideo.msn.com/?videoid=674f0677-bb99-40a1-995a-0da8ea013597&channelindex=6&from=en-us_msnhp&
I think it’s a waste of good equipment.
@64 Actualy it’s a pretty good use of obsolete airframes that would otherwise be sitting in the boneyard at Davis-Monathan – some of them have been sitting there for up to 15 years. The aircraft can’t be economically upgraded to the standards of current aircraft, and they have a relatively limited amount of service life left, so they’re perfect candidates to be converted to drones.
They need drones that can come close to matching the performance of modern-day fighters. They were using the F-4, but they are running out of those old rhinos. The AF uses them a lot for test and evaluation of weapons, including air-to-air missiles, and I guess they don’t want to waste perfectly good ejection seats by having real pilots flying them in those missile shots where the aircraft is hit. 🙂
I wonder if Paul (of the Ballsack) was invited to the APL taxpayer-funded shindig?
@65, When you put it that way, I understand, but there are private pilots who are jet-qualified who would love to have one of those older fighters to just fly a high-performance aircraft like that and something like the EAA flyin in Oshkosh. So it seems a shame to me to destroy something when it could be turned into something fun.
@#64,65,67:
The conversion from piloted to drone status allows them to become target planes, and makes great training aids for future aerial gunners. It is really strange to see an F4 go down the runway with the canopy painted out.
There are both “full scale” and “subscale” drones used at Tyndall and Eglin Air Force bases.
On Facebook, if you type the words :putnam: :poop: , it shows Justin Bieber eating shit! :putnam: :poop:
I thought I’d try it here, no such luck!
Call Commander Monkress seeking clarification of stated claims; get a call from Paul(of the Ballsack).
Awesomesauce!
We need a new Phildo thread. I am going into withdrawal.
Merry Christmas, TAH folks. I hope the New Year brings everyone, luck, fortune, and continued prosperity.

I really miss hearing threats and abuse from that fat sack of shit from Bartlesville, Oklahoma… You know -Zippy the Pinhead – William “Bill” Blake, phony poser jarhead.
Wickre’s Night before Christmas Twas the night before Christmas when all through the Wickre house, There were bottles and empties left around by some louse. And the best fifth he’d hidden by the chimney with care Had been snatched from some bum who had hounded him for bus fare. His pals from APL had been poured into their beds To wake in the morning with hungover heads. His mouth, full of cotton, dropped down with a snap Because Psul was dying for one wee nightcap. When from the back bedroom-office there came such a yell, Psul sprang to his feet to see “This Ain’t Hell”… And what to his bloodshot eyes should he see But eight TAH Posters talking of he. Way in ‘mongst the post was a man he wished to slay. He saw it was Green Thumb, quite oiled and marrily gay. Staggering nearer to the monitor screen he came As he burped and hiccupped and called them by name: “On Green Thumb, on PH2, we ain’t got all night! You too, Gin and Brandy, now all do it right. Clammer to the kitchen; I will do away with them all! Get going you lower life forms, we’ve still a long haul!” So up on the blog went Wickre and what passes for English in his way, But a premature “submit comment” got in his way And then to his ears, like the roll of a barrel, Came a hell of a noise that was no Christmas carol. So Psul pulled in his head and cocked a sharp ear. Down the chimney someone plunged, landing smack on his rear. He was dressed all in red, with white fur for a trim. And the way Santa swayed, he was tanked to the brim. The sack on his back held nothing but booze, And the breath that he blew nearly put Psul to snooze. He was both plump and chubby and tried to stand right. But he didn’t fool Psul; he was high as a kite. He spoke not a word, but went straight to his work And missed all… Read more »
@73.
Great job. I am still laughing five minutes later.
The only think you missed was a line about Paul (of the Ballsack) taking it in the ass.
@72.
He is still making threats. You, your family, your a homosexual, disabled etc. Just some really bizarre and weak stuff.
Bill Blake definitely takes it in the ass.
Green Thumb, psulie-o the uncoolie-o tried to shut down TAH last night, but it didn’t work. He’s just trying to piss Jonn off and get him to call Bethesda so that he, psul the uncool, can complain about some imaginary abuse.
He’s obsessive compulsive, stalking TAH, stalking you, me and everybody else he obsesses about. He’s nuts and he likes to waste time doing stupid things. And he smells bad.
If Psul were to take a little side trip to Bartlesville, Oklahoma, I’m sure he would find unnatural man love with Zippy Bill Blake, noted fatass bedwetter, and phony Marine.
@73
Very good. And I agree with GT’s comment about Psul’s love of anal sex.
Do you guys think Paul (of the Ballsack) teabags Phildo or do you guys think it is the other way around?
Well, GT, unfamiliar as I am with the particulars of manlove, I’d have to guess that Phildo of the Dildo, and Ballsack Psul probably take turns doing each other, top to bottom. Then bottom to top, if you get my drift.
Bedwetters a pair. Twins of the Yellow Sheets.
Another year of writing notes from Santa in left hand script, drinking room temp milk and eating dried out cookies left as n offering…done!
Merry Christmas everyone. Best wishes in the new year.
Happy Christmas, Merry New Year, and lots of moolah and love to all the good people at TAH.
