Weekend open thread
Ok, it’s time for the open thread, I guess. MCPO sent the motorcycle picture and Hack Stone sent in a word puzzle. Hack Stone says that he’s working up a Stolen Valor Jeopardy, so you should start studying up on our phonies. The contest will come around on Veterans’ Day or thereabouts.
By the time you read this, I’ll be polishing off a beer and a cigar. It’s Friday, FFS.

You have to respond in the form of a military veteran, such as “Who the fuck is Daniel Bernath?”, or “What the duckies an empty fuel gauge?”.
Duckies? What the fuck is “Duckies”, you guys have permission to bust my balls from this point forward. It’s the only way that I will learn.
I am stunned by the correlation between a motorcycle and a ‘find-it’ word puzzle.
Don’t let me interrupt the conversation in this room. Keep on talking. Just here looking for my brain. That might help me find my asshole from among the holes in the ground outside.
Cheese,
Dennis (Denny) Howard Chevalier
Try New York City. I hear they have a poop map.
If you need a turd with a face, contact John Giduck

Dagnabit. I missed being first. I have even been refreashing like a molfracky. Darn units calling me on the radio forcing me to do my job instead of playing around on TAH.
I know the feeling get stuck up on a 9,000 feet peak trying to get a reprieve and da damn cell phone went dead 🙂
Nuts. Hoping the TAH WOT would be the DRC AAR.
I read a book about the Battle of Little Big Horn a few years ago. Apparently, years after the battle, researchers interviewed many of the Native Americans (Indians?). It turned out that countless Indians claimed that they were the ones to have killed Custer. They even went into detail about how they killed him. I always thought that was interesting to read that people who may or may not have fought at Little Big Horn embellished their role in the battle, just like people continue to do today.
I read a decent book about Custer called “Son of the Morning Star”. There was a crapload of embellishment, and of course flat out posers saying they were there.
Just like today those who talked the loudest did the least. Any Native who went “on the circuit” later on in life felt pressured into weaving tall tales to keep the money coming in.
There was one Native gentleman who was talked to years later who seemed to be truthful. He said with all the running about, dust and screaming nobody could really tewll who killed who. The Native women went around after the battle and stripped and mutilated the dead. Some of them used large stone hammers to flatten out skulls and pierced ears and eyes with awls used to stitch hides together.
Contemporary news accounts didn’t nearly print anything near the true accounts of the mutilations that took place. Custer was stripped naked and had an arrow shoved up his dick.
The Battle of the Greasy Grass for the Indians was like Woodstock for the hippys. I think at least five million people claimed to have been there.
I enjoyed reading this book, it was free via Kindle
“Thirty-One Years on the Plains and in the Mountains, Or, the Last Voice from the Plains An Authentic Record of a Life Time of Hunting, Trapping, Scouting and Indian Fighting in the Far West”
by William F. Drannan
Here is a brief article about the poser author, but I must say, the book was a great fun read.
http://www.texasescapes.com/ClayCoppedge/William-F-Drannan-told-it-like-it-wasnt.htm
TAH is getting mucho coverage, gaining readership by the minute.
Standing in line at a local bank, just 6 miles north of the home of 7th Special Forces Group, I was just behind an E-7 wearing the SF tab and patch. I asked him if those in support also wear the tab, and told him that in my quest to “out the posers”, I would like to know. He said that only “A” members wear the tab at 7SFG, and not those in Support elements. He laughed and said: “Sites like This Ain’t Hell” are really finding a bunch of them.”. We laughed at the apparent use of a playbook, since most posers have the same sequence of events once exposed.
Doing good things gets the site a lot of coverage.
The other week a guy that I work with looked over at my computer and said “so you read TAH too?”.
Did you guys hug and kiss????
😀
/I keed, I KEED!!!
Huginkiss! I need Amanda Huginkiss!
Come on guys, I need a Amanda Hugandkiss! Why can’t I find Amanda Hugandkiss?”
I thought you were still looking for Ilene or Elaine or whoever.
A few months back I was in a video game chat room and someone mentioned Scotty Hughes busting guys.
I know many active duty, retired, and Vets and let’s not forget LEOs that are like me strung out on this GREAT PAGE, and it’s not just the POS that get busted but also the topics that are on here that we discuss.
Well, at least number 16 in the thread has a 1 in it!
So last week at this time we were all waiting for the expose on the recent court results. Did those come out during the week and I missed them, or am I not on the right secret squirrel email distro list?
I posted this below too…
C&P from last weekend’s Friday thread
and Jonn replied….
” It’s going to take a while, probably weeks not hours.”
then he add this tease…..
” Trust me, it will be epic and well worth the wait.”
Thanks, Chip!
WE NEED TO KNOW NOWWWW
I Can’t wait anymore the excitement is boiling move
BHWhahahahahHHa. 🙂
And I am 19th!
Jonn, enjoy the beer and ceegar – you earned ’em!
OC
I was able to reconnect this past Tuesday with an old Army buddy of mine after a nearly 35 year break.
He actually was the best man for my wedding.
It’s good to talk to old friends again, if only by telephone. It will even better when we can do it face to face. Plans for that are in the works.
Here is something interesting that I just now saw posted at the FREE NORTH CAROLINA web site. Not knowing when this data was collected, or how old the information is, I can’t vouch for its current accuracy. When copying and pasting this item, I took the liberty of correcting a couple of minor typographical errors. But anyway, you decide – – – , ______________________________________ ______________________________________ “SOBERING STATISTICS FOR THE VIET NAM WAR” http://freenorthcarolina.blogspot.com/2015/08/sobering-statistics-for-vietnam-war.html http://nationalvietnamveteransfoundation.org/statistics.htm Subject: [Chapter 61 Disabled Retirees Forward: Vietnam War Stats. UPDATE] To all who served and are now serving — Thank you for your service. Charlie RVN class of 66-67 USMACV Phan Rang Here are some updated statistics concerning Vietnam era service. I am surprised at the survivors update at the beginning of the stats. In case you haven’t been paying attention these past few decades after you returned from Vietnam, the clock has been ticking. The following are some statistics that are at once depressing yet in a larger sense should give you a HUGE SENSE OF PRIDE. “Of the 2,709,918 Americans who served in Vietnam, Less than 850,000 are estimated to be alive today, with the youngest American Vietnam veteran’s age approximated to be 54 years old.” So, if you’re alive and reading this, how does it feel to be among the last 1/3rd of all the U.S. Vets who served in Viet Nam?!?!? …don’t know about you guys, but kind of gives me the chills, considering this is the kind of information I’m used to reading about WWII and Korean War vets… So the last 14 years we are dying too fast, only the few will survive by 2015…if any.. If true, 390 VN vets die a day. so in 2190 days…from today, lucky to be a Vietnam veteran alive….. in only 6 years.. These statistics were taken from a variety of sources to include: The VFW Magazine, the Public Information Office, and the HQ CP Forward Observer – 1st Recon April 12, 1997.

Bernasty update????
Coming.
Last week Jonn said it may take weeks not days.
BUT that being said….(C&P from last weekend thread….
and Jonn replied….
” It’s going to take a while, probably weeks not hours.”
then he add this tease…..
” Trust me, it will be epic and well worth the wait.”
He is still not a Genuine or Honorary CPO!
He’s been VERY quiet in his usual WWW haunts. Nothing in a long time.
Bernasty has his dance card full. I’m betting he wishes it was only sparring with people from TAH but it isn’t.
Though there might be some folks from here available he has 4 rounds set up with the Ca State Bar.
On the 17th at 11:00 AM he has a Pre-trail Telephonic Conference.
On the 25th,26th, 27th and 28th Dan-boi has to appear in front of the Honorable Lucy M. Armendariz for a disciplinary hearing.
The main charge is that he solicited clients for his YELP Lawsuit while he wasn’t an active member of the Bar.
I’m sure other ass-hattery will come out.
He is trying to sue Bar Attorney Erin Joyce in Fla, thats going to go over well.
Yeah, much more to come!
Isn’t that, like, illegal?
Uhhhhm, I kinda heard rumor that he’s been advertising himself as an Attorney in Florida and HE IS NOT a member of the Florida Bar. Ain’t that just a wee tiny bit illegal?
Daniel A. Bernath has never been a USN CPO Honorary or otherwise, he never has been or ever will be a member of the Oregon Bar, and it’s extremely unlikely that he will ever be admitted to the Florida Bar!
If he is, last I checked, that was a third degree felony.
Oops. FL Bar might have a little birdie drop by.
OH, POOP STAIN!!!!
Mr Stone… I’ll take “Disbarred lawyers masquerading as a CPO who can’t read a fuel gauge that are Hamilton Burger’s Bytch” for $10,000,000?
Oh, I’m 127th… deal with it
I have some great categories lined up. The first game, round 1 is based on song titles, round 2 is based on movie titles. I don’t want to tip my hand, but I recommend that anyone who wants to be a contestant to read up on ALL of the Stolen Valor entries.
I’m a purty fart smeller when it comes to Jeopardy.
Bring it on, Hack.
Don’t start getting cocky. If you aren’t careful, you wil end up as a third party vendor selling software to the government as a proud woman owned small business.
You forgot the part about drinking T-bird and sitting in the basement with soiled spandex on…
I just now finished solving this puzzle for Friday 07 August 2015.
http://games.washingtonpost.com/games/daily-crossword
It took me fifteen and a half (15 1/2) minutes.
At youplay.com you can get a daily British-style “cryptic crossword” from Australia. (But theirs does not require near so much cultural knowledge as, say, a London Times crossword; so you can crack them pretty fast.)
So if they were here they might say – “A small parliamentary affirmative for Our Host.” (6 letters)
Thanks for the tip.
I’ll check it out.
I’ve tried British crossword puzzles, but unless you’re born and raised in England, you have no way of knowing what they’re talking about.
I’ve never tried working an Australian crossword puzzle.
USA Today dot com has a good crossword puzzle link. Once there you can select regular or difficult level
http://puzzles.usatoday.com/
Thanks.
I hear it takes a broad knowledge of the local and regional beers.
For the moment, I am last. That will change. But first? First does not change. It stands alone, numero uno, top dog, big cheese, boss, second to no one, honcho, chief of the thread. There is only one one. The rest of us, whether 2nd or last are all followers. We suck. That is all.
Lighten up, Francis. You’re not last, after all.
Second place is just the first loser
I am thinking of changing my callsign here at TAH back to my old CB radio handle.
New callsign would be: Widow Maker
Any thoughts? Yea or Nay? Does anyone care?
Just throwing it out there for input.
You do you my man!
do it
I’m thinking about doing the same maybe my old nickname from my army days
Hopefully not “Two-Dogs”….
no I was thinking SSG CRAZY K—Y. what do you think ?????
I call name skippy to honor one of my uncles who did three tours in Vietnam with 25th ID and some other group of crazy mo-fos Lol….
should have been my call and NOT I call
I always figured you were referring to Skippy’s List.
well ah be damn… it interesting
me too.
I’m looking at the puzzle up top and now I’m getting all kinds of ideas
I have several monikers. They all have different personalities.
You can be Widowmaker and still be CLAW131. You can also be Neo. Who is to say you can’t?
You can be anyone you want to be. Except Hondo.
Or Elaine Ricci. Nobody will ever replace Elaine Ricci. Except a generic description of”a proud woman owned company”.
(I Am Hondo)
Using more than one name when posting here? *NAAAAAAH!*
Jonn, when are we gonna get an official DRC update?
It looks like it will be in a couple weeks
I thought this was a joke, but then I found the actual news report on it with a picture.
http://consumerist.com/2015/08/06/san-francisco-lamp-post-falls-over-because-people-humans-kept-urinating-on-it/
There are maps of SanFran and NYC where people relieve themselves. Beware and be wary! Watch where you step.
In the same vein(lol) here’s an interesting story about the “Blarney Stone”.
http://www.tripadvisor.com/ShowUserReviews-g186598-d258222-r32734239-Blarney_Stone-County_Cork.html
There are so many homeless in NYC now, it is ridiculous. Half of them, according to their cardboard resumes, are Vet’s who are down on their luck and have the PDTS. The females of course are pregnant. Many have dogs, iPhones and are seen traveling in and out of the city daily on comuters trains and buses from the burbs.
In NYC it is now a bumbs paradise: free identification card (just show that you have a pulse); free healthcare, food, shelter (if you need it); doggy care (because they are people too); all the weed you could ever want to smoke; and the police won’t bother you (because they have been told permit the city to slide back in to the days of havock like in the 70′ and 80’s).
So if you are a dirt sucking scuttle fucht and wish to leech off a hard working metro area, NYC has a place for you!
So are there now a fair share of Nooh Yawkuhs missing “The Good Old Days” of when Rudy Guliani ran the show?
Hey Ex, came across a recipe for Chicken Bog, a peasant dish from South Carolina. I promptly ignored the recipe and made it this way. You’ll need:
Some lipid to start. I use olive oil
2 pounds skinless, boneless chicken thighs
1 pound smoked sausage of choice, sliced
1 leek, sliced
1 onion, chopped
2-3 cloves garlic
3 cups chicken stock
2 cups white rice
White wine, just like any cook in the history of forever.
S&P, and seasonings (I like McCormack’s Poultry Seasoning, YMMV)
Heat the oil in a dutch oven or any pot with a lid and sear the chicken thighs, remove.
Brown the sausage slices, remove.
Add veg, sauté (or sweat, cooks choice) until desired doneness is achieved. Deglaze with some white wine.
Add chicken stock and thighs, bring to a boil, reduce heat and simmer for 45 minutes.
Remove chicken thighs and add rice, again bringing to a boil and the simmering for 20 minutes or so.
Shred the chicken, add to pot with sausage when rice is done. Stir to combine.
Serve and bask in the accolades of family and guests.
Be advised, this makes a metric assload. The wife and I have had this the evening I made it, a leftover dinner a couple nights later (it just gets better in the reefer) and son #2 just polished off a bowl, and there’s STILL some left.
This sounds good and hearty, something fora a cold winter weekend. I will comply.
A recipe like that with chicken, sausage, rice, etc. is just begging to have a bottle of beer poured into it and maybe a can of rotel tomatoes too.
BACON, the perfect addition!
Add cornbread on the side with plenty of butter, and a bake apple en croute (piecrust) with ice cream.
There! You have a completely balanced meal that will cause your doctor to take a stroke over the cholesterol, salt and your give-a-damn attitude. Enjoy it!
Oh, to make your castle smell like summertime, put a large saucepan filled 3/4 full with apple cider on simmer on the stove. It will clear the air and people will wonder what that wonderful scent is. Remember, in the winter, hot cider with a slice of lemon or a cinnamon stick is a welcome thing.
I bought a bottle of genuine molasses made by some guy in Louisiana and sold in a mason jar at the local pound feed store. I have had some with my biscuits occasionally, good stuff…old school. So last week I was mixing up a batch of homemade ice cream, and instead of 3/4 cup of sugar, I just poured in some thick ol molasses and made homemade molasses ice cream to go with the garden fresh fried okra. Damn if it didn’t turn out just awesome.
I guess I will state for the record that because there has been an increase in shooting incidents at cinema theaters it’s only a matter of time before the crazy bastards who do this stupid shit will pick other places for an OK corral style firefight. I am permanently banning myself from all cinema locations, and until at least a large majority of people who I believe threaten my personal security are safely and cozily deceased, I will ban myself from all religious institutions and schools. I wouldn’t want to be mistook for a crazy fuck who would do stupid shit like shooting up theaters or schools or worship locations.
Netflix does offer everything, as does Amazon’s video service. You can have all the food you want, the bathroom is always available, and you can have your favorite four-legged with you, too… or your favorite Signif Other.
Thanks. You have excellent points here. However, the significant other thing I don’t yet have, but the four leg…I would love to have one someday. Preferably a small and cute black and white terrier or other small dog.
Places like PetSmart and Petco have Rescue Dog adoption activities almost every weekend in many towns.
These dogs are usually already trained and just want another chance to be loved. You won’t be disappointed.
I like the idea of a rescue. I just need to find a no kill shelter near me.
Thanks.
Terriers love to work.
If you get one, keep him very, very busy with dog school, frisbee olympics, and other things. And PLEASE get a rescue dog.
Thanks. I’ll keep your points in mind.
Ex- almost thought you said “favorite signal officer”.
🙂 🙂 🙂
Will a Signal NCO suffice?
Another week down, and another armful of trinkets from lands far away.
You wouldn’t think VT cheese and maple syrup would be so frigging expensive. Wrong-O!
And now for something completely different:
That was fun, as was the link to the South Gloucestershire magazine.
Heeee Hawwwwww I’m number 65 ! ! ! ! ! I’m still in the top 75
Sitting on the back deck of Stately Stone Manor at an undisclosed location (apparently I may have warrants in Montgomery County) drinking an Old Dominion Double D Double IPA while listening to some quality music on the satlite radio. I have a comment posted on my FaceBook page, but to save Jonn having to come down from the TAH Tactical Ops Center to appear in court, yet again, you will have to wander over to my page to read it. Enjoy your weekend, NFL season is just around the corner.
The Weekend Thread can go anywhere, so long as he who is FIRST does not object. I’m going to a place that was heralded as heaven on earth, the place where justice reigned supreme, where no one went to bed hungry, a place whose late leader was lovingly admired by many–in Hollywood. The place is Venezuela, the oil rich land that is in the tank just now and going deeper. Hyperinflation is nipping at its heels and the peoples isn’t so happy in Happyland. (I haven’t bought an ounce of CITGO gas in I can’t remember how long, so I’m doping my part.) The utopian policies of Chavez, continued by a fellow socialist he groomed, a former bus driver and union leader, ain’t working out so well. Gee, I’m so disappointed for Hollywood. Really. Okay, I lie. I am smiling broadly.
And to make matters worse, they have no toilet paper.
I can;t wait for Maduro to have to use both sides of his toilet paper.
Can a nation’s government be judged by its lack of toilet paper?
If my parents simply had not tossed out those old Sears farm catalogs…!
SINCE WHEN has socialism ever done anything other than spread poverty, shortages, and misery?
“The problem with Socialism is that you eventually run out of other people’s money.” – Lady Margaret Thatcher
I dunno. Ask the Poles.
Im happy round Ranger made the word search, I still feel he was cheated out of winning the tourney. TSO short changed him on the biography
Still working on next week’s word search, so get your suggestions in early.
Seriously, I would like to take this opportunity to thank Jonn for indulging me these last few years. I would like to think that I have brought a smile to my fellow veterans and those that support us, and when the day the day finally comes that Paul is able to scrounge up $13 to hire a competent hit squad to send me to my final reward, everyone has a good laugh thinking of the joy that I was able to share. But, until then, it is Friday Night, so raise your cold frosty mug on a salute for our brother veterans that are not with us this evening. Semper Fi!
Roger.
Raising my Mike’s Hard Limeade in salute right now.
They may be gone, but never forgotten.
Hack, I am still looking for my cheesesteak sandwich. I can meet your messenger on Chestnut Street or down at Center City.
Some nice, warm soft pretzels would be nice, too, with mustard.
I’ll be raising a glass of Jameson’s to you in a few hours, Hack Stone!!
Hack, without you I’d be like a mailbox without a door.
Is the roast pork and broccoli rabe sandwich at Dinic’s worth it, or are there better to be had?
I just want to throw this into the ring of silly studies.
Someone has decided that starchy carbohydrates like bread cause depression, so we should not eat them.
Well, if you have a gluten allergy, it may do that to you. But oatmeal was included in that list, which is ridiculous, because oatmeal lowers cholesterol and raises serotonin levels.
These studies are funded by the government, probably to force us to eat more beans. Now, we all know what happens when we eat beans, right?
Anyone besides me see the direction this particular taxpayer-funded study is taking?
We’ll be able to quit blaming cows for global warming?
Poor cows. Don’t we do that already?
I think we should instead pin the blame for global warming on all politicians, and give them their very own planet.
My wife’s frequent hot flashes are the cause of global warming. She doesn’t dispute it.
Did anyone figure out the Harley yet?
2014 Harley-Davidson FLHTK Electra Glide Ultra Limited
My local Harley dealer has one in their show room, so you can say I kinda cheated.
Very good “Speed Racer”!
I mean the reference, did anyone figure it out?
Geeze, this is like spoon feeding granny!
I’m working on it. How much gas is in the tank?
Enough to get to Sturgis Aug 3-9 2015?
Ah, you guys are not even trying. Think out of the box.
HD’s 112th anniversary is coming up?
Monkress, Monkress, Monkress all the way!
You guys are dumber than a bale of hay!
Wasn’t my answer below obvious enough, Ma’am? 😀
Some people are just obtuse, API.
I used to be pretty acute in my younger days. 😉
Gee whiz, does some fake SEAL or another ride one of those?
We were supposed to figure out something out the motorcycle? Well, OK, now that we know…
I thought it was just a reference to the Harley rat who used to hit on my sister.
But what do I know?
Someone indeed has a “Special Day” coming up.. This is for him.
Blood Upon The Shingles
(Sung to the tune of The Battle Hymn of the Republic)
He was just a shyster lawyer as he sdtarted out his flight
as he didn’t check his gas tank cause he wasn’t wrapped too tight
He crashed into a cornfield now his ass is really sore
And he ain’t gonna fly no more.
CHORUS:
Poser,Lair, Listen to the fucker lie
Poser,Lair. Listen to the fucker lie
Poser,Lair, Listen to the fucker lie
He ain’t gonna fly no more.
This turds a fucking poser, cried the Sergeant, looking stout.
Our shitbag cried he wasn’t so then they called him out
They found pic he photo shopped and he began to pout
He ain’t gonna pose no more.
CHORUS:
Poser,Lair, Listen to the fucker lie
Poser,Lair. Listen to the fucker lie
Poser,Lair, Listen to the fucker lie
He ain’t gonna pose no more.
He took his meds, he rocked himself ,his heart it pounded fast.
He tried to use his catheter, but shoved it up his ass
He got into his cadillac but it was out of gas
He ain’t gonna drive no more.
CHORUS:
Poser,Lair, Listen to the fucker lie
Poser,Lair. Listen to the fucker lie
Poser,Lair, Listen to the fucker lie
He ain’t gonna drive no more.
The Bar date came, he tried to hide they dragged into court
He tried to lie he tried to beg but of course it came up short
The Judge she took his license and she tossed him in the street.
He aint gonna sue no more
CHORUS:
Poser,Lair, Listen to the fucker lie
Poser,Lair. Listen to the fucker lie
Poser,Lair, Listen to the fucker lie
He ain’t gonna sue no more.
Approved! ! ! !
BRAVO!!! 😀
Well, shoot, it’s been a while since I have been here talking at all, but it’s because I am still looking for Bernath’s other pal who claimed at one time he came here all the time, and I am referring to that other LSoS, “Mr. Eight Wives”, former Texas State Guard liar and the King of Cheese Eaters, Dennis Chevalier who used to talk the walk and walk the talk.
He used to say he used to come through my area in route to Jefferson. He hasn’t been seen in a while, maybe Jefferson finally caught on to his antsy bullshit and told him he can’t come visit them anymore.
Hmmm….still waiting for his visit through the Pineywoods, so I can teach him a thing or two.
Chubbyliar’s last fart in the breeze was a shot at Scotty.
There is this sociopathic hose beast that weaseled into some stolen valor circles. She is 100% certifiable bat-shit crazy.
She claimed to be awaiting a huge lawsuit settlement and was willing to assist several veterans with it. I’m talking life-changing ammounts of cash.
It was all a fabrication to make her think she was doing something.
She got called out, so in retaliation she starting saying Scotty fabricated and forged documents.
I don’t know how Denny got a hold of it but he put a copy of her ramblings onb his evidence site.
Other than that he’s still trying to catfish unsuspecting women on Craigs list.
He went as far as putting out a fake escort (Prostitution) ad using an ex’s name and phone number.
Sure is hot and dry up in Red River Co. Come to DFW sometime and I’ll drive you over to see Chevalier World HQ. It’s a mailbox rental storefront next to a Thai nail salon and a storage unit rental place. Chan’s all you can eat Mongolian BBQ is about 2 blocks away. Seemed like the perfect place to put up a wanted poster.
Funny that you would mention the Cheese eating incompetent Private dope. One of my friends, laughing as she talked, let me know that he has me featured on his blog.
http://evidence1234.blogspot.com/?m=1
I handed the link over to a friend who is an attorney and has offered to handle things that are a problem to me.
That I have not only never been convicted of a felony, I have never been arrested on a felony charge either. I guess he gets his information from the same place as the DRG.
Which brings me to discussing a dream I had last night. I dreamed that the DRG showed up at Camp Rudder, (after reading the WaPo coverage of the Florida Phase of Ranger School), thinking that this was the HQ for the American chapter of the Dutch Rudder Organization. Seems quite plausible since none of them have been to Ranger School.
Turkeys, the lot of them.
Frankie,
Has “Big John” been replaced since he went to the big gator slough in the sky?
Loved the crossword puzzled exchange in “Stuck on You” with the co-joined twins…
Walt: What’s a three-letter word for man’s best friend?
April: Tit?
Walt: No, I’ve tried that already.
Walt: What’s a four-letter word for snatch?
Bob: Grab.
Walt: Oh… right. Whoopsie.
Darby Queen. I’m doing my homework and I figured it out LMFAO ! ! ! !
now I understand the whole back story to All Points Logistics LOL….
Currently working one of the lightning fires in NorCal, taking advantage of the 4G signal at the ICP before we go to R&R. The fire we’re on is ice-cold, but they haven’t let us go yet. Expecting more lightning, told my wife I’ll be home in a month or so.
Be safe.
Well, as long as we’re assigned to this incident, the only hazard is eating shit down a long, steep slope–steep in this case meaning damn near vertical. We’ll see what the immediate future holds.
If the fire is cold, I hope it stays cold. Stay safe, TOW.
*To the tune of “Three Blind Mice*

Daniel A. Bernath
He was a babbling smelly fart stain
Forgot to put gas in his plane
He crash landed it in a wreck
He screamed and sued like a drek
And everybody laughed

Thanks ever so much for the dad blasted puzzle. But, did you know there’s typo in it? Oh, yes there is…
I see that Jerome Bettis is now in the NFL Hall of Fame. I remember him for two things: being built like a boulder and smoking dope. I see that Junior Seau is also now in the Hall of Fame. He would have attended the ceremony but his suicide precluded that. Ron Wolf is in too. I had to google the name. Never heard of him. Turns out he was Green Bay’s general manager? When will the groundskeepers and beer vendors be eligible for the hall? A fellow named Polian was also inducted? Who? He was another GM. There were a couple of others inducted this year. One was a fellow by the name of Tim Brown. If you don’t know him, you don’t follow NFL. In my view, he was the only legitimate Hall of Famer this year. Charles Haley was also inducted after being passed over a couple of times. Helluva football player. Hall of Famer? Not in my book.
It’s a good year for the NFL if they can have more players inducted than indited.
Then it’s not a good year for the NFL. There have been nearly 30 players criminally charged thus far this year alone and there were six players inducted into the Hall of Fame on Saturday.
National Felon’s League (NFL).
Meanwhile, 70 years ago today, another pilot over Japan was heard to say: “Hold my beer and watch this.”
You would have thought that the first one would have been enough to cause them to surrender…
Hirohito was reprted to have said “what the fuck was THAT!”
Beautiful morn’ here at FOB.
72 degrees, severe clear blue sky.
Found the 500 black bear that has terrorizing the neigborhing bird feeders (and mine) taking a crap on my driveway.
He is way to comfortable here, we fine his oily black palm markings all over the house and garage!
Do you think he is trying to get in?
Yes, he is, Master Chief, and you need to get whatever your Dept. of Natural Resources is to tranq his furry butt and haul him away to some place where there are no garbage cans.
And put a latch on your trash bin. Bears can open anything unlatched. Bag all your trash in scent-blocking trash bags – yes, they do exist – and tie the neck of the bag tight enough to block odors from escaping.
And get some bear spray. NOW!!
Just going to throw this link out here in case anyone else is wondering if they are the only ones who thought at least some aspects of the “debate” the other night were pretty ridiculous.

Among other things, this post shows the complete lack of credibility the opening gotcha question had. I know that it seemed so to me. Kelly’s attack was indefensible, in my view, especially when you discover that her assumption had no merit.
Quoting the article at the link:
In the clip from Celebrity Apprentice, Brett Michaels was explaining to Trump that Brande Roderick didn’t want to get fired and had gotten down on her knees and begged not to be fired.
Trump responded “excuse me, you dropped to your knees?” Roderick responded “Yes.”
Then Trump joked “must be a pretty picture, you dropping to your knees.”
So, according to his Disqus page ol’ Lawn Dart Danny is a big Trump supporter. He has interesting thought on Megyn Kelly as well. And his Disqus profile picture looks like it is a picture of Bill Cosby in a Navy uniform. Classy.
Yuk. What an unpleasant thought – to even remotely agree on a very small detail in an obscure reference to a slightly disappointing review of something is disgusting. (No, not going to read that or any other comment of his willingly unless someone is paying me a LOT of money to do so.) Then again, there is bound to be something with which any two randomly selected human beings could agree, even the crazy ones.
I have been rehanging pictures and various other wall hangings after having the upstairs completely repainted.
As I rehung my diploma from the US Army Aviation School at Fort Rucker, it got me to thinking about just how dangerous my chosen occupation was back when I was 19 years old and full of piss and vinegar.
So I did a little research and ala a JRM Power Point Presentation, I found the following:
Total number of helicopters (all services and all types) destroyed in the Vietnam War was 5,086 out of 11,827. (43%)
2,197 Helicopter Pilots KIA (all services)
2,717 Enlisted Crew Members KIA (all services)
The I Corps area where I was took the brunt of Pilots KIA with 649. No info on numbers for Enlisted KIA was found.
So, Rotor Wing Aviation was indeed a pretty hairy business to get into. And so, on this Sunday evening, I raise a cold adult beverage to the memory of all who made the ultimate sacrifice while performing flight duties in SVN.
I also raise a toast to my fellow RVN crewmembers who are still with us, specifically 3/17 Air Cav and Joe Williams.
Is there anyone else out there whom I missed? If so, answer up and you will be saluted.
I guess it’s appropriate to post this disclaimer.
The statistics noted above are extracted from the VHPA website.
I don’t want anybody to think I just pulled them out of my rectal orifice.
I was born in ’63 so Vietnam to me was something I saw on the nightly news and it was somewhere I knew that my uncle was at. He was Infantry and came home in one piece in the fall of ’68. There was a friend that I made in 7th grade named John and his Dad had been a helicopter pilot and was KIA. By the time I knew John, his mother had re-married and John was adopted by his step-father and bore his last name. Every time I contemplate the aviators that didn’t make it home, I think of John’s father… although I don’t even know his name. Unknown but not forgotten.
Tell Scooby my herd says “Hi and send some rain.”
I began my career as a 67N and it was folks like you that were my cadre and instructors at Mother Rucker. Every instructor I had down there wore a patch on their right shoulder. The knowledge they passed on to us dumb trainees was not from some manual, but their experiences in VN.
So here’s a toast to you Claw and those who came back and were willing to relive their experiences in order to make me and others better Soldiers, either at the schoolhouse or on the flight line. You guys made Army Aviation the success that it is now.
One of the bravest things I ever saw was one day when I was standing on a hilltop across QL-1 from a firebase called LZ Uplift. The firebase had taken a hit from a 122mm rocket, and it was fairly obvious where the rocket had come from; they leave a smoke trail after taking off.
A few minutes later, a pair of pink teams, a Jet Ranger and Cobra working in tandem, showed up as a reaction force, and the NVA decided to make a fight of it. The sequence was that one of the loaches would drop down close enough to see what was on the ground, draw fire, and then pull back to let its Cobra light the area up with a minigun. Then the other pink team would rinse and repeat.
This went on for about 10 minutes, and from a distance of around 1000 meters, at least it seemed to me, a minigun doesn’t sound like an automatic weapon. It’s more like the sound of a race car going to high rev.
Eventually, there was no more fire coming up from the ground.
I remember thinking at the time that the loach pilots were even more crazy than the usual craziness that tended to be the norm.
No one got the Harley tease!
Oh well, it is the thought thay counts!
