Weekend Open Thread
Well, there’s nothing that I want to write about this morning, so I’m not going to waste our time on a bunch of useless subjects. Pinto Nag sent us this photo from New Zealand for your viewing pleasure.
By the way, Paul “Palmer” Wickre dropped off another of his incoherent ramblings in the early hours this morning, so the fat scum-sucking pig is still out there and we still live in his head. Bernath spent nearly twenty minutes reading your comments on that post last night, so some of you will be getting threatening emails from him today. Just a heads up.
Category: Open thread
Laying out a huge Giduck. John Giduck – the turd with a face!
Duckwalk people!
while I sit here squeezing out a fat Giduck like it coming out of a Dairy Queen ice cream dispenser (DQ twist at the end, of course), I’m also reading up on John Giduck and current Chester, PA Police Commissioner Joseph “Joe” Bail’s violations of the PA State Ethics Act through Joe Bail’s acceptance of a $20,000 consulting honorarium.

https://thetruthaboutsocnetlies.wordpress.com/2012/09/27/timeline-shows-20k-honorarium-from-john-giduck-to-joe-bail-for-consulting-services/
These guys are as corrupt as they come.
Giduck and Monkress.
Turd soup with a dash of criminal flavor.
Beautiful photo, Pinto Nag, thanks for sharing it with us. NZ is on my “bucket list” of places to visit before my birth certificate expires (or is revoked).
And let me be the first to say it in this thread: Bernath is not now, nor has he ever been, a Chief Petty Officer in the United States Navy. He knows it, we know it, and he’s delusional in thinking that anyone with more than three connected brain cells would believe him.
That man is definitely not a CPO (real or honorary), not a lawyer in any sense of the word after I actually saw him in court, and is barely classified as human.
In other news, I am off to Rose City Comic Con for the weekend to debut my newly-created Halo armor and an oldie-but-goodie Darth Vader (both better than screen accurate).
That may be true, but he is an honorary glider pilot.
I think maybe more than honorary – even if not by design.
I’m thinking that Bernath put the “Petty” in “Petty Officer”.
Also, his entire aircraft mishap is an analogy of his legal career.
I hear that his grandfather was the pilot on the Hindenburg.
Have fun. You are a fine young man with a good head on your shoulders.
The other is an ate up has been (never was) outcast of society who is rejected by all he meets.
Confirmed.
I did not make Phildo’s or Palmer (of the Ballsack)’s Christmas card list.
I wonder why.
Criminals and cowards they are.
Turds.
Does this constitute stolen valor?

ROFLOL ! ! !
Thanks for sharing that!
It runs in the family. His uncle pulled the same shit.

I like when Jethro keeps banging his head. That might explain why the Honorary Glider Pilot acts the way that he does.
Gosh, gee whillikers, ANOTHER good one!
ROFLOL ! ! !
The golden age of television. Check your cable/satellite provider to see if the carry ME TV and/or Antenna TV. They air all of the good stuff, Hogan’s Heroes, McHales Navy, Dragnet, and The Jack Benny Program. Mel Bkanc always makes me laugh.
I have those channels.
In addition to SENIOR TV, I also get regular broadcast channels on a little plastic indoor antenna.
ME TV is one I watch almost exclusively.
If you have never listened to the radio versions of The Jack Benny Show you have really missed something. The episode where he had Fred Allen on and ad libbed the whole thing was some of the funniest radio ever broadcast.
Haven’t been posting lately, just wanted rto stop by and say hello. Just landed a job w Dept of Energy. Finally leaving the AF for good.
Hope everyone is having an awesome weekend!
Congrats.
DOE … Not too shappy. Are you working on the energy side or the ENERGY side?
Thanks Hondo and MCPO, working on the ENERGY side of things. Had previous experience working in Europe on that side of things. So I go from Massachusetts to the sunny desert of New Mexico!
Jealous. I grew up in NM, and went to HS there.
You have to love a place where the chile list is longer than the wine list.
Lol definitely looking forward it to NM and the chiles. Been wanting to be in southwest for 10 years plus closer to home. Away from mass weather too.
Envy you growing up there!
NH had fun growing up there and now you can have fun glowing up there!
MCPO, how did you handle the insane, cold weather of NH, Mass or CT?!?! I guess its because I am from the South originally.
I came to Mass from Kuwait (contracting)…nice extreme!
New Mexico? You lucky bastard. Let us know here if you guys need any help in the new org.
That nutter never sends me anything. I’m kind of feeling left out.
Don’t. Then again, I’m still waiting for the FBI to show up at my door.
FBI= Figments of Bernaths Imagination
Oh no, he actually emailed the FBI.
Seems dipshit didn’t realize my comment about scooping Uranium out of a reactor and duct taping a hand grenade to it WAS A FUCKING JOKE.
Then again, maybe he was just pissy because there’s that much less left for him to duct tape the dogs in his airplane.
More on the FBI:
______________________
When demonstrating how to use a computer, I enjoy telling a gullible student this – – – ,
My first computer was a rebuilt machine, given to me by a group of anonymous friends.
I hooked it up and turned it on.
Having never seen one before, I couldn’t make hide nor hair of what I was looking at on the screen.
I tried reading the books that they’d included, but it was all way over my head.
So, I thought, “What would a ten year old boy do with this computer on Christmas morning?”
Thus, I threw out the books, and started pushing buttons, learning “by guess and by gosh” as I went along, continuing my trial and error experimentation.
Shortly thereafter, someone knocked on my door.
When I answered the door, it was two FBI agents wanting to know why I’d just launched several hidden nuclear missiles somewhere in Alaska?
And, do you know what?
Some of these guys actually thought I was being serious!
Does anyone remember the good ol’ days when you could turn on the television and watch a news broadcast?
Do you remember when Cable TV first started?
Back in those days, Cable TV had NO commercials on any of the channels, and news was broadcast all day and all night, every day and every night.
But, today, if you turn on CNN, or Headline News, or Fox News, there is no actual news, but a bunch of guys and dolls sitting around having some sort of a contrived pseudo-intellectual discussion, intended to tell the viewing audience what thoughts they should have about selected fashionable topics.
Remember the AMC channel?
It had movies, with NO commercials.
But, not anymore.
Here at the Armed Forces Retirement Home, we can subscribe to SENIOR TV, which is received via the Dish Network.
It doesn’t have the MTV or VH-1 channels.
What I’m going to say now will get a whole bunch of folks mad, but I’m writing the truth, unpleasant and politically incorrect as it may be.
When MTV first started, it was great!
I loved watching MTV.
But, then black people complained that MTV wasn’t showing enough black performers.
So, just like our beloved United States Army gets embarrassed and reacts by overcompensating, MTV began featuring black music, and pretty quick, as you might well guess, MTV programming became horrible and unacceptable.
Shortly after, the VH-1 channel also destroyed itself.
So, if you want to get the news, go to the Internet, for television is just about dead.
John, television was called “The Great Wasteland” over 50 years ago, and that’s when there were only three channels.
Imagine how diluted it has become with HUNDREDS of channels.
Why, it’s a wasteland as vast, dry, and void of substance as the space between Bernath’s ears.
Yeah, cable was to be commercial free b/c subscribers would pay, eliminating the need for sponsors. I switched from DirecTV to Dish some years ago. Know why? It wasn’t the fees. It was the LOGO channel, which was free on DirecTV but not Dish. I really didn’t want to see two guys dancing to Bette Midler tunes or sharing a bath. I have blocked so many channels on my TV now, if it wasn’t for baseball/football, old movies, and the History channel, there would be no need for me to have a TV at all.
I thought Dish TV and DirecTV were the same thing.
I reckon our SENIOR TV is furnished by DirecTV, ’cause that’s whose logo I see on the screen.
Thankfully, SENIOR TV doesn’t currently include the LOGO channel.
As far as MTV goes, John, I wouldn’t go there. Hell, rock and roll traces its roots back to blues, etc, and has a heavy African-American influence.
No, where MTV “jumped the shark” is when they started off with their “reality” crap shows, which had fuck-all to do with reality.
None of them are worth a crap because none of them do what they were originally designed for–music.
Oh, you pushed my button!
I know the history of Rock ‘n’ Roll, ’cause I grew up with it, mimicking the songs I’d hear on the radio.
Back then, with segregation, most black people acted decent and had families.
Those days are long gone.
But, NEVER refer to black people as “African American”!
With rare exceptions, none of them have ever been to Africa, and wouldn’t choose to go there, even if you paid them.
Meanwhile, the GENUINE “African American” folks are ignored and forgotten, probably because they’re good, productive citizens who don’t condone crime in their midst.
The white refugees from Rhodesia, Union of South Africa, and Kenya are the genuine, authentic “African American” people, having fled the persecution committed by blacks against whites (which still continues) and enthusiastically embraced American citizenship.
For much the same reason, I refuse to acknowledge American Indians as “Native Americans”.
After all, even though I have no American Indian ancestry, I was born and raised in this country, which makes me a native American.
Furthermore, the ancestors of the American Indian migrated here, even as white Europeans did.
As a Mormon, my chosen faith teaches that all continents were once one solid land mass, and that the Garden of Eden was located in Kansas.
After the Great Flood, and after the continents split apart, some people from the Tower of Babel migrated to this continent.
Later, there were migrations from Israel to America.
“Kennewick Man” was in the news quite a bit, so I reckon everybody knows about him.
But, do you also know about “Spirit Cave man”?
Somewhere, I saw a reference to a similar discovery in Florida, but I can’t find any information.
And then, there’s the Vikings, and the Irish monks.
I use the word “homosexual” instead of “gay”, which is SUPPOSED to be an innocuous word meaning, “happy”.
I use the word “sex” instead of “gender”, for that is proper English grammar.
Greetings all, the sinus surgery was a success, the pain is gone, and it looks like the Doctor will clear me to go back to work this week which is fine by me, I feel like I’m about to go half past apeshit from cabin fever!!
Proud…Glad to hear it went well and you got a clean bill of health.
Good to hear. Hope you’re recovering nicely, PI.
That’s a lovely photo of one of those glacial valleys in Kiwi Land.
I may dig out LOTR, just to see the scenery down there again.
Not flat as a pancake with occasional rolling vistas like North Dakota. Been raining all morning, getting a modest downpour now. Birds are starting to flock for migration in large numbers. Good time to be out with a camera.
EX, My mom visited New Zealand a few years back and loved it. Her only comment was that while it was very beautiful you really had to like sheep to fully appreciate it.
RiR, that description can also be applicable to the rural parts Ireland as well, with flocks of spray painted sheep roaming free.
Psulie-boi and Noah?
Can you read lips?
Question for the Massholes out there:
Big E–worth it, or over-hyped?
The USS Enterprise is a great man of war!
Sigh…okay, I should have been more specific.
The Big E is the Eastern States Expo, held “out west” for another week or so. Just wondering if anyone had been and if it was worth it.
And Enterprise? Nice target, anyway. Then again, all skimmers are targets.
Hey, now, I like that Carrier!
(Though I’m more fond of the Starship)
The Big E is ok….expensive for me though. Not the admission cost, just the food, and everything else.
If you like walking around through crowds to see overpriced t shirts and stuff, yea it’s ok.
Personally, I avoid it like the plague. Too many people for my liking all crammed into a small space.
I was heading back to the hotel after some other activities.
Boy, did I pick the wrong way. FOUR MILES OF BACKUP. All the way to the Interstate. Had I thought about it, I would have gone around and down. Twice as long, but would have saved me about an hour.
Yeah. Four miles. One hour. Screw that.
I am relaxing today and tomorrow because Mon – Thurs next week I am working 0700 – 1500 and then 1500 – 2200. UNGA 69 in going on. That means fun and games in NYC for the next week or more.
Still on SREYWAL blue channel frequency BR549, scramble code “T”?
What’s the first question Bernath asked Wittgenfeld?
Mind if I crash at your place?
hahahahahaha almost got a coffee-screen reaction. I had the mug up and was just about to sip when I read that.
Wah-wah-waaaah….
Actually I think Sky Queen was thinking that by putting down in a cornfield he could just brew up some bio-fuel real quick and be on his way. However, he was quickly distracted by the corncobs and well, we all know what happened then.
What a waste of humanity-hope he gets a knot in his catheter…
Wrong!
“When this is all over I call bottom bunk”!
Next time, add an audio clip of the drum when you deliver the punch line.
I bought my first “scary, black gun” today… It’s a Smith & Wesson M&P 15. I want to gradually build a small arsenal for home protection and target practice. When my son is old enough, I also want to teach him to respect firearms and learn to shoot properly.
My son and I both have a couple of them, Smith & Wesson make a fine version and we’ve never had any trouble out of them. Sadly, now that he’s an adult, we don’t get to shoot together as often as we’d like. Enjoy the time with your son.
[side note] Just test out any magazines you buy first. I’ve found that Magpul magazines don’t latch properly. I bought a whole bunch of them and none of them would latch securely into place. I ended up trading them for some off brand plastic magazines and haven’t had an issue since.
I stand corrected. My son has informed me, and he is correct, that the Magpul magazines did not fit into the Arrow Precision lower receiver. They worked just fine in the Smith & Wesson M&P-15s.
Thanks… Good to know. I plan on going to the range (or my friends farm) to exercise my Second Amendment rights at the first opportunity. Glad I live on the Virginia side of the river with DC.
All my “scary black guns” are at the bottom of Lake Winnipesaukee.
And that’s the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth, so help me God.
Hey Sparky; are those yours parked right next to mine at the bottom of the lake?
Why, I do believe they are!
I feel they’re safer buried in a swamp, that makes ’em harder to get to, but much harder to be found as well!!
My story about Winnipesaukee involves me, a smokin’ hot chick from Nashua, 2 Harley’s, a boat ride, clothes being ripped off and my wallet now with your scary black guns.
Start younger than you’d think you’d need to, and do not underestimate your son’s ability to find any weapon you think you have hidden.
We always had guns in my grandmother’s house, and my dad’s as well. Dad was death on gun safety. He taught us the basics of shooting, and the whole “The gun is always loaded, and don’t you ever point that thing at a person!” routine.
So, one fine day when my own son was visiting (he was a little guy), he walks out of the bedroom with my dad’s handgun, and says “Grandpa, why did you have this gun in the waterbed?”
And that was when he started buying gun safes.
We never had any kind of accident in my whole, extended family, thank God.
I learned to shoot with a bb gun. Targets were necco candy stuck to white poster board. (they are pure sugar, lick em to stick em) they explode when hit. I graduated to shooting locusts on the wing. I aced the quick kill lesson during BCT,
My son received his first gun at 5. A Red Ryder. By 7 he mastered sighting and safety. He owns the battle space between the muzzle and target … He is very good. Last Christmas, Santa Claus delivered a brand new Ruger 22 Long thanks to input by TAH elves. He had a wee bit of trouble at first, so I permitted him to go Rambo with about 100 rounds. Hip shooting, standing, prone, kneeling and slow moving. When that was over and he did not care about noise and recoil, it was back to the table and targets. He is clean and consistant shooter.
AR-15 lessons at 14 after full and complete safety and shooting courses are complete.
WOW ! ! !
Somebody else remembers the “Quick Kill” course in Basic Combat Training!
I had my Basic from December 1967 to February 1968 at Fort Lewis, Washington in Company D, 3d Battalion, 1st Brigade.
I couldn’t believe I could ever hit a quarter in the air with a BB gun, but I did it.
That technique really works!
So, where and when did you go through the “Quick Kill” course?
Good choice. I bought an M&P 40 with a Lazerlyte sight earlier this year and I liked it so much it replaced my Glock.
When your kids get older you will find a lot of enjoyment teaching them safe weapons handling and the joys of shooting. My oldest son did a stint in the Army and is now in the Air Force and we enjoy getting together (not nearly often enough) and shooting on our farm or hunting together.
My youngest daughter was a natural and used to compete in NRA rifle matches and even now when she is pregnant she was out last weekend hunting.
What is the earliest age for NRA safety course?
Not certain, but around 12, maybe 10, depending. Find an instructor, make the introduction and go from there. Maturity of the individual counts.
My home range offers classes geared towards those aged from 7-11.
On another note, the lower age limit is in keeping with NRA guidelines about not having anyone younger than 7 years old using firearms due to the potential effects of lead exposure.
I prefer the crossbow, or if not available, the compound bow. It requires skill, knowledge of the habits of prey, and an economy of style. And they both come in pink. Sometimes, I hunt with a camera, too.
I also cook.
I had my eye on some archery equipment when I was firearm shopping. Maybe once the Hunger Games thing goes away in a few years, I may give that a try.
That reminds me of a bumper sticker I once saw!
WANTED: Wife that can hunt and cook. Must have own shotgun.
Since I am too lazy this morning to email it. Robert Bateman has retired and has decided to stay with Esquire and his mentor Charles Pierce to write about politics and the stupidity of his fellow Americans.
http://www.esquire.com/blogs/politics/I_Will_Fight_No_More_Forever
A quote from the self-serving, worthless crap ol’ Gun-ban Bob convinced Esquire to publish as the article linked above:
Hmm. He sure had a helluva lot of time on his hands to write books and articles for Esquire/other publications for someone whose “whole life” was taken up in “being a soldier”. Kinda makes you wonder about his ability to perceive reality accurately. Or maybe his honesty.
In any case: good riddance. IMO the Army is a much better place now that this naive fool has departed.
Phuque that fucking sally.
Bateman, do us a favor. Stay in England. The puss factor is already high enough here.
Except he already made the decision back in June to come back the the US. Remember this?
http://www.esquire.com/blogs/politics/i-am-coming-home
They are sending him back. The pussy was such a pussy he embarrased the other pussies so much, they are deporting him for being the biggest pussy that has ever lived or ever be.
“I will fight no more, forever?” Did he seriously write that? He never fought to begin with. His wife has more combat time than he does.
I guess he thinks he’s gonna be that noble warrior.
Or just rip off the words of Chief Joseph.
Fuck this assclown. And I hope to Christ he lives in a “May Issue” state like MD or NY and can’t get a CCW permit, so when his shit gets jacked he can rub his sore little vagina about how unfair life is.
No fucking way this guy carries a gun in this country. None. If he does, ride his ass for his lying fucking hypocrisy until he either gives it up or moves his worthless ass back to England.
I truly think that Bateman’s head is as empty as Bernath’s fuel tank!
What was shot at him, spitwads from PO’ed Clerks?
Semen in the face.
EEEEEEEEEMMMMMMMMMMMMPPPPPPPPPPPPTTTTTTTTTTYYYYYYYYYYYYYY
hahahahahaa
Birdbrain Bernath: “But, doesn’t E stand for enough? I swear, my ninety nine cent app said it was.”
I finally have people like noted Church Security Pioneer Carl Chinn defending me
http://thetruthaboutsocnetlies.wordpress.com/2014/09/20/questionable-church-security-speaker-carl-chinn-defends-john-giduck/
Ignore the other stuff…just read what he has to say.
sincerely
John “Faker 6” Giduck
Oh FTR one more time, Daniel A. Bernath still accuses THE WRONG MAN of being me.
Word = Turd.
DB style.
I was just thinking of a Making new movie with Kevin Costner in it.
In the opening scene he is standing in the middle of a field in an Iowa farm. A drunken Whippenfloggit vioce slurs out “If you build it,, he will crash”
I feel soooooooo EMPTY!!!
Phony CPO math, all alone at airport:
“Gas tanks 5 gph … Eh … Needs pain meds … OK focus … I am focussing … Shut up … OK … 5 GPH … I have less than 5 gallons … ARGH I hate TAH … OK better now … So I have less than 5 gallons … So that means I should be able to fly about 59 minutes … I am a great lawyer … Or maybe not … Or maybe between 59 and about 20 minutes … Damn fourth grade math … Pain meds … Why won’t anyone talk to me … Maybe I can ask someone … Nah, I am smarter than those people … OK let’s do this”!
OVER
He forgot the duct tape! Dammit, it’s always something.
Ah Duck Tape!
OVER
Quick question; how do you post pictures in comments on TAH as opposed to just links to them?
Here is a feel good story for your Saturday evening pleasure.

File it under “Duh!”
((Rustle, Rustle, Rustle))((Skitter, Skitter, Skitter))((Scritch, Scritch, Scritch))
This has been brought to you by the Gremlins whom live by Bernath’s house.
No doubt the absence of a positive head pressure above you has resulted in you loosing you calibration … FUEL GAUGE TRAUMACTICAL DISORDER (FGTD).
I doubt Bernath is out of fuel.
Especially considering the amount of pumps he has taken in his fuel hole.

Interesting read…especially at the end.
http://www.articlesbase.com/mental-health-articles/pathological-lying-narcissistic-personality-disorder-traits-5868597.html
Sound familiar?
Long read but very interesting.
http://www.medscape.com/viewarticle/754975_2
“Unsurprisingly, they found that conduct disorder scores were significantly related to all offence categories and adult antisocial personality disorder scores were associated with most offences, especially obstruction of justice, firearms, robbery and blackmail, escape and breach, fraud, burglary and theft as well as violence. With regards to other cluster B disorders, narcissistic personality disorder scores were associated with fraud and forgery.”
“antisocial, borderline and narcissistic scores all showed a significant relationship with perpetrating threats and physical assaults”
——————–
Look up sociopath vs narcissist and see if anyone sounds familiar?
