Weekend Open Thread
Dave Hardin sends you this reminder to turn back your clocks this weekend – I’ll be on the road for the next two days so I won’t be here to remind you, let this suffice.
If you need an update from the frontlines, Bernath came out to talk to the media and he brought all of that self-murder BS that him and Wittgenfeld photoshopped that visitors to his website are accustomed to. Speaking of Wittgenfeld, Bernath had him on speaker phone to talk to the media. I’m sure it was epic. Bernath’s neighbors were all gawking at the media vans and the attention.
As Bernath was walking away from the media he leaned over and called Diane Shipley a “fat c***”, you know, to demonstrate his total lack of class. Those guys really do hate women.
But Don called to tell us that he’s on the hunt for another phony nearby and he’s abandoned the Bernath encampment.

Bueatiful here up in the Hudson Valley today. No one is walking around open carry, yet you can bet everyone is well protected.
I had pancakes and nice crispy bacon for breakfast. I could fight tigers now.
SOS here. Sadly, not an ole Mess Sergeant’s version but Stouffer’s which is really pretty good. PS: they call it Creamed Chipped Beef, not SOS. They’d sell more if they called it SOS.
SOS? OH, how I loved having that for breakfast when I was a kid, still do!
If any of you are near Green Bay Wi., Maplewood Meats sells real dried beef for making SOS.
Not that chopped and formed *stuff* that is sold in stores claiming to be dried beef.
The dried beef that they sell is not beef jerky, but is sliced, moisture reduced and slightly salted beef.
Well, I’m pretty well stocked up on chicken, so I can splurge in November on breakfast sausages and stuff like that.
And I think I can find a serious recipe for sausage gravy on biscuits.
The biscuits part is easy. The the sausage gravy that has to be just so.
There’s a restaurant near me that makes the best sausage gravy ever.
There’s nothing like a good biscuit with sausage gravy for breakfast, that sticks to one’s ribs and keeps you going!
The secret to Sausage Gravy or any gravy is to use a roux before you start the gravy and to use not just salt and pepper but an assortment of seasonings when you cook the sausage.
I make some dynamite sausage gravy, I really don’t have a recipe for it, I just start cooking and it comes out excellent.
Like I said, start with a roux and the rest is easy. I do use a lot of pepper in mine.
I always make the roux first. It’s keeping the sausage flavor in the gravy.
There’s no pork broth to extend the flavor, just chicken or beef stock, kills the flavor. I made awesome chicken gravy last night for the leftover chicken, just using the seasonings from the leftover chicken and some chicken broth. It was so good!
I thought maybe if I dilute the chicken broth a tad, the gravy will taste more like the sausage in it. My go-to seasoning is Mrs. Dash-Garlic. Maybe I could substitute Grandma Maud’s Southern Seasoning instead?
Two more wild hogs in my trap today. Mmmmmm bacon. 8 hogs so far this year since mid August.

“HALLOWEEN OR SAMHUINN?” http://writesong.blogspot.com/2012/10/halloween-or-samhuinn.html _____________________________ Greetings and Salutations to All my Kith and Kin and All the Ships in Outer Space: One of my favorite childhood memories is of a Halloween carnival at Spring Lake School (now named, “Lillian Black School”, in honor of my Fourth Grade teacher) in Spring Lake, North Carolina. I think I was in the Fourth Grade, and probably a Cub Scout. Wanting the best possible elementary education for us young’uns, Mama and Daddy were both active in the Parent Teachers Association (i.e., the P.T.A.). Back in those days, that was a good thing, not like it is today with government mandated “politically correct” propaganda intended to emasculate and pervert our children. Today’s racially integrated public schools are so dangerous, and literary standards have sunk so low, that many, MANY responsible parents choose to teach their kids at home, or send them to private religious schools. Anyway, either Daddy or Mama drew a scar on my cheek and brow with some sort of pen. In the Sixth Grade room, a Spook House had been set up, and I was a part of it. From an Army footlocker, Daddy had created a coffin on a table, in which I would lay, holding a rubber glove filled with ice. With all the lights out, kids would be guided through the room, hefting “guts” (spaghetti) and “eyeballs” (grapes). When they got to where I was, I would slowly rise up in my coffin, touching their face with the icy rubber glove, and give my horrid laugh. Their startled and terrified reactions were priceless! Yes, even back then, I was obviously born for show business! Most of the activities were in the school auditorium, where there was bobbing for apples (and I got an apple!), and a fishing booth, where you could get prizes of candy and cookies. Yes, of course there were also the traditional candied apples and popcorn balls! Quite a few years ago, when I was living in the apartment above the lobby of the “ROXY” Theatre in Saint Anthony, Idaho, I went to a “KNOW YOUR… Read more »

I found this today after looking through the medals on the Military Times website Valor Awards pages.
None of the posers that claim POW status have one of these medals…
And, if you are a non-honorary or non nor ever have been a CPO of any kind do you have ANY of these medals:
http://valor.militarytimes.com/search.php?medal=43
Tstix….finally gathered the nerve to look into what you gave a link to; and as expected it absolutely just pissed me off. Does the American public know en masse of all this? This is starting to sound like the same B. S. that RVN turned in to. That is ONE HELL of a loss of lives! Really, does ANYONE with more than one brain cell truly believe our presence over there will ever change things? My thoughts are destroy most of a civilization with atomic bombs and get out of there. Course that will never happen since we are over in their country invading them.
The final straw for my support in any form of help in that region is this country releasing POW’s from there, in exchange for ALL our prisoners. Hell, in the first place, we should have watered tortured each captive until getting the required info from him, and then just kill the bastard. If nothing else, start a Battalion of only older vets who have actually served in direct combat and allow them to do the dirty deed. Hell, I’d do it for free! Just pay my transportation both ways, provide me with sleeping quarters and three (if possible) meals a day and give me a dollar a holler. I’d be willing to bet a LOT of old timers would volunteer for this assignment without hesitation.
To know so many friendlies died during or were executed in captivity burns my ass. While we with our weak leadership plays games every day. Show me the opportunity and I damned well GUARANTEE you I will spend at least 30 full days as a, or part of, a killing squad.
Thanks for the link my friend. I only wish the pansy ass media had the same interest as we do toward all our brothers.

I LOVE the pic of the DRG Short Bus®™! I can already picture them sitting by the roadside holding a cardboard sign saying “WILL SUE FOR GAS”!!
It just hit my brain. A Proud Infidel. That’s what the numbnuts call non believers in the Qur’an. Damn I’ve been called everything, so I’ll add infidel to my list. Can’t believe it took so long to figure it out ?
Dug out some old gear for a Halloween costume. Been telling people I am The Ghost of Benghazi Past. Most of them get it.

Nice post.
Thanks for posting that, John. I think people need to be reminded how many different countries were involved in that.
I just saw a Walmart commercial for “Green light a vet.” The Walmart campaign calls for people to change one house outside light bulb to green on Veteran Day. Being the cynic that I am, I checked out the Walmart promo site, hoping to learn whether Walmart is donating its sale of green bulbs to some Veteran cause, or at least a percentage of the profit. And I think I have the answer. It’s a very roundish number. It matches exactly the number of green light bulbs I’ll be buying.
http://vets.syr.edu/americans-encouraged-to-greenlight-opportunity-for-transitioning-veterans/
From the article:
“Walmart is committed to greenlighting veterans, including hiring 250,000 veterans by 2020 through its Veterans Welcome Home Commitment. As part of this effort, Walmart proudly greenlighted the company’s 100,000th veteran hire this past month.
While a job is a vital piece of transiting from military to civilian life for a veteran, it also takes a coordinated, multi-sector effort to create healthy transitions to civilian life. Walmart and the Walmart Foundation committed $20 million in grants to organizations that provide veteran job training, education and community-based collaboration. As part of this pledge, the Walmart Foundation provided donations to organizations focused specifically on transitioning veterans:
A $500,000 grant to Hire Heroes USA (Hire Heroes) to help increase their capacity. Hire Heroes has built a national reputation of excellence for their success at helping unemployed veterans find jobs.
A $190,000 grant to Blue Star Families for a tech-train-to-hire project that will train military spouses for high demand and high growth careers in technology. This program speaks to the heart of one of the greatest challenge to military life, which is 58 percent unemployment and underemployment among military families.”

A kid came to the door trick or treating. He had a beard that looked like it was stolen from C. Everett Koop, a PO1 uniform with CPO rocker inked in, and a catheter hanging out his pants, and crutches. I asked him what is he dressed up as, and he replied “I sure as hell ain’t no Honorary Chief Petty Officer!” Just then, the bushes rustled, he threw the crutches down, and ran off screaming like a little girl. True story.
+10 COOL POINTS for Hack Stone!!!
BHWHAHAHAHAHAHAHA! ! ! !
HOOOOOOOAHHHH
10 points from the skippy clan…
Ode to Lawn Dart Danny
*Sang to the tune of “Mad Bad Leroy Brown” by Jim Croce*
Well somewhere down in Florida
And it ain’t no silly whim
A fake CPO is cowering because some people he dissed came to him
*REFRAIN*
And it’s lawn Dart Danny Bernath
Screamed that he’d give everyone a bath
He always had to throw a fit,
Always totally full of shit
Well a real CPO came calling
And it must have made him shit his pants
Bernath had his wife shut and lock for him
While he emailed some more rants
*REFRAIN*
He done had himself a lackey
Who was known as *SLURP*41
Who always said that he’d be a-coming
But he never showed his dumb ass up
*REFRAIN*
Well he stirred up the big shitpot
And he stirred it like a buffoon
Lady Karma came up, grabbed his ass and made him lick the proverbial spoon
*REFRAIN*
Well he’s still stirring up the shitpot
And he thinks that he’s tough and mean
Someday Lady Karma will again come calling and make him eat the pot all clean!
*REFRAIN*
Thank you, groupies are always welcome!! 😀
P.S. The previous post, ©2015, A Proud Infidel®™ 😀
AWESOME ?
Something went haywire- the Gilligan’s Island theme song played as I read through your lyrics, API…
Noah Gas called Mom Shipley a c $^&.
Real big of him. And he wondering why the judge denied all his motions. Didn’t learn in his Oregon trial, or his LA escapade.
Danny boy: go climb a wall of dicks you syphilis infected team killing cockbite. Real big man talking shit to another mans wife while hiding behind yours. May palmela fingerson run from you.
Daniel A. Bernath (GH!) has always acted like like the Westboro Baptists, expecting those he tries to agitate and provoke to stoop to his level of maturity and mentality, and when those he tries to agitate don’t respond like he wants them to, it drives him nuttier than a barge load of squirrel shit!
You ever notice that Cock-mole Bernath only talks shit to people he knows have self control?
If the people of the respectable Stolen Valor community were anywhere near as violent as he claims he would be crawling around his sidewalk trying to pick up his teeth with broken fingers.
YES J.O.D., you’re dead right on the money. Hack Stone gets full credit for comparing Daniel A. Bernath to the Westboro Baptist Church inbreds ( And yes, I’m jealous that I didn’t think of that myself :D), he always takes that approach, and the moment he/it sees something he/it even remotely considers a threat to him, he runs with it to any courthouse he can get into and tries to make a shitstorm out of it. Bermaggot has been slandering and libeling the Shipleys for at least nearly two years, I’m certain that he wants followers and/or fans of the Shipleys to respond to his instigation and antagonism, and as soon as he thinks he has it, *WHOOSH!* – there he goes to whatever courthouse he thinks will still admit him and he files yet another joke of a lawsuit that will get thrown out by any Judge wit even a smidgen of integrity and common sense. Daniel A. Bernath is not unlike a parasite seeking a host entity, he has never made a legitimate success of himself via honesty and hard work, he/it has always jealously schemed and plotted to try and tear others down as well as drag others down to his level, and when those he wants to manipulate don’t respond the way he wants them to, it makes him apeshit angry. He made that slur to Mrs. Shipley wanting an angry response, and I’m certain that not getting it made him angrier than Richard Simmons whenever his local pet shop is out of gerbils!!
Note to Birdbath: If you piss off someone in the Spec-ops community to the point they want to take it to where you are claiming they will go, you won’t be getting emails, phone calls or announced visits.
It will just happen.
That should be enough to let you know that no one on here who comments or emails you is going to ever harm you anywhere but a courtroom.
No professional is going to risk jail time for doing anything to you. They will just collect those “Bernath Bucks” you seem so willing to hand out.
I just stated what was intuitively obvious to even the most casual of observers. I am just disappointed in all of us, to include Hack Stone, that it took so long to come up with that Weekend At Bernath’s Photoshop masterpiece a few months back.
Asshole is doubling down on his filthy commentary re Mom Shipley on his abortion of a website that libels so many people. I’m told to be patient but I don’t understand why it is still up.
I hope EVERYONE reads this!
He has rights.
EVERYONE needs to buy popcorn, plenty of popcorn.
The wheels of justice turn ever so slowly, yet grind away at anything that gets in the way.
So, moving forward, my money is on Bernath.
I am all in!
Tell me, when you go to the horse track, do you put your money on the broken nag that’s one hoof in the glue factory named Elmer?
what a awesome Holloween 2015 wish I could post pics of da casa Lol… my daughter did her first tick-or-treat. this year walking, we had a blast… mama bear handed out over 1700 prices of candy…. absolutely crazy… May have to pick up more next year… candy that is…
HAPPY SPOOKY DAY Lol….
Anyone know whether any trick or treaters visited Stately Bernath Manor? It would be great if a kid had a George Bush mask, dressed as a cowboy, with another kid dressed as a stolen cow. When Bernath would ask him what he was dressed as, the kid could reply “I’m a rustling Bush!”
(big smile)
🙂
🙂
Had a kid in a gille suit (my spelling is way off) or as a sniper and his buddy as a ambulance
chasing Lawyer does that count ????
that last being you know who !!!
LMAO !!!!!!!

Hack Stone, you are fined five credits for repeated violations of the verbal morality statute. We ask that you cease with the puns or the fines will increase.
Well, that does it for the three seashells.
I just saw a commercial for YELP on television, and the thought occurred to me, what would Bernutless do if the pitchman or one of the actors was a really, REALLY close Bernath lookalike?
Oh, sweet justice.
And ribs for dinner this evening. The weather isn’t exactly conducive to going outside to grill, so let’s see how they work in the oven. Should be a hoot.
That would be awesome! They should find an actual CPO that wouldn’t mind growing a scraggly beard for the part. Let him wear his actual rank pins and mini medals for the filming, too.
Most advertisers want a spokesman who appears distinguished and credible. So, I doubt Yelp would go for it.
Bernath could land a gig schilling for Depends Undergarments.
Or for Liberator Medical and their line of catheters…
How about one of those auto auction companies that buy impounded cars for a few bucks and auction them off as is?
‘Drive today! Drive away! All starting bids are low, low, low – lower than the roots of those rustling bushes in your yard!’
So I just read that the US has pledged another $100 Million to the rebels in Syria.
So, that means we will have 100 more fighters trained so they can then run away?
I thought 100 million paid for 10 of them to run away ????
Bulk discounts

Okay, geniuses of TAH. It is said that we (well, most of us, anyway) gained an hour’s sleep last night and that we will lose an hour’s sleep in the Spring. I guess this presumes that no adjustment is made by us as to what time we hit the hay and what time we arise. Is that correct? I mean, eight hours is eight hours and seven is seven. Last night, if you went to bed at 11 p.m. and arose eight hours later, it wasn’t seven in the morning but six. I suppose you could have rolled over and said, “I’m sleeping until eight” and gotten nine hours. But, if not, you didn’t gain anything. You got your eight. In the Spring reversal, you go to bed at 11 and, after eight hours, the clock reads 6:00, not 7:00. So, you say, “Yeah, well, that’s what time I have to be at work—7—so I lost.” I guess that’s true unless you went to bed at 10:00. So, am I missing something?
You’ve been doing the “new math” again, haven’t you?
You go to bed when the evening news is over, and get up when the alarm clock goes off. That’s how much sleep you get. If you watch a late movie on a Friday night and then go to bed, when you wake up on Saturday morning, that’s how much sleep you get.
I’ve been getting up at 5AM for so long, I don’t even set the alarm any more. All I know is I hit the pillow at 11PM and wake up at 5AM. Besides, my cat wakes me if I don’t get up and feed him.
Don’t befuddle your brain with clock hours to sleep hours ratios. Just enjoy the snooze time.
Besides, this is what I get for a morning wakeup call:
https://youtu.be/w0ffwDYo00Q
Our dog got me up at 7:30 HER time this morning, even though the clock said 6:30. She’s now pestering me to feed her even though by the clock, she’s not due for another hour.
Someone just doesn’t like Skittles apparently.
Okay. That clears things up. Where’s that rope and chair?
The whole Daylight Saving Time and multiple time zones may explain what happened to Daniel Bernatb in that ill fated flight. The guy told him that he had one hour of fuel left. So, when he crossed a time zone heading west, it would be one hour earlier, therefor, he gained an hour of fuel.
Makes as much sense as what you would read on his website.
Got all excited for a second when I saw the title of this news article from Florida.
You’d think it would be about one of the dYnAmIc DuO, but it’s not.

I think that hack Stone hit the nail on the head yesterday when he compared Daniel A. Bernath to the Westboro Baptists. The more I think about it the more convinced I am that Daniel A. Bernath (GH!) is Fred Pelps II, Fred Phelps was also a disbarred Attorney in Kansas who was always seen as a joke of a human being there as well. Phelps often showed up at KS State Bar Association meetings and conventions with or without minions carrying out some asinine protest or another that was laughed at by anyone with two or more functioning brain cells. Phelps also filed his fair share of asinine lawsuits and tried to provoke people the way Bermaggot does thus I now see Daniel A. Bernath as Fred Phelps the Second, what say y’all?
Only if we can call him Phred Phelps or P.P. for short. Heh short and PP in the same sentence.
Well how ’bout “PP Deuce”? 😀
This is a song I like. It’s a pity the Corries don’t appear any more, but….
Roy Williamson died on 12 August 1990. I still have all their albums — listened to them a lot when I worked on Skye and thereafter.
Their earlier music was very similar to a manic Clancy Brothers routine, but they eventually found their own unique voice.
Oh Flower of Scotland
I have Loch Tay Boat Song done by the Minstrels of Mayhem on a CD, but I have no idea how to convert it to an internet version.

Wife defragmented the computer.
Hope it’s still transmitting.
Second comment test.
First test was from the Google Chrome side.
This comment is from the 64 bit Internet Explorer side.
OK, both sides seem to be working.

Very good. But, to me, Diana Krall is the gold standard these days.
Yes, very good. But to me Donna Groom is my all time most talented (instrument wise) female singer.
I wish somebody with more computer smarts than me (Ex-PH2 maybe) would link up the YouTube video of her singing Patsy Cline just so everyone could see her in action.
Great range, especially when she does the high voice with the Skyliners.
Your wish is my command.

Wow, absolutely note perfect.
Yep, she is quite a talent and as you see is accessible to we common people.
Small town city park (in Pennsylvania I think) with just her and her husband on drums. Down home entertainment at it’s best.
Thank You very much Ex-PH2 for the link-up.

Congrats to the Kansas City Royale with Cheese winning the World Series (their last one was in ’85 in the interstate series w/ ST Louis). Too bad baseball is being relegated to a regional sport. Even the worst piece of crap NFL regular season game grounds & pounds a WS game in the ratings.
And the Mets last WS win was 1986. Maybe next year for the Mets. They better up their game, they blew it bad!
