Congrats !!!!!!
Next week I shall reign supreme
*POOT!*
*Wavies and throws a glittery gargoyle gonad at the almost disbarred Sparkle Pony Bernath* 👿
I have a chipmunk. The squirrels really hate her. I wonder what that means.
It’s because the chipmunk is the only one who doesn’t run away, cower under a desk, and dial 911 whenever the grotesque, menacing college ROTC cadets are within the line of sight.
Can’t have a non-compliant, autonomously thinking chipmunk around nowadays. That would be inherently “unsafe”.
BEEN MISSING YOU Toasty, how’ve you been doing lately?
Missing you too Proud **hugs** Doing ok thanks….How are things with you? 😀
Daniel A. Bernath the Fred Phelps clone allegedly likes to stomp on toy stuffed animals pretending they’re puppies and kittens.
*comic satire* 😀
Fifth son of a Byich
Or maybe sixths
Damn! Still can’t beat the Coasties!
Sure ya can. Navy!
Hi, Dan!
Rustle, rustle, bitch.
Eighth! (Take that!)
This just in: According to the CA Bar, “Never a CPO” Daniel J. Bernath is still “Not Eligible to Practice Law”!
http://members.calbar.ca.gov/fal/Member/Detail/116636
He should be barred and sent to a happy home with padded walls 🙂
Was Daniel Bernath incapable of practicing law before he became not eligible to practice law?
I don’t think that Daniel A. Bernath the Fred Phelps clone has enough brains and competence to successfully pick his own nose, let alone practice Law. He’s the kind of idiot that would stick his appendage into a hot deep fryer and sue its manufacturer.
Daniel A. Bernath the Fred Phelps clone is living proof that shit can grow limbs and walk.
So he’s pretended to be a CPO, a pilot, and many other things, but the only thing he has proof of is being a dead beat father?
As well as a shit-for-brained perpetual failure of a litigant as well as a snot-spined coward of a bully, a piss-poor excuse of a pilot,…
I see Daniel A. Bernath the Fred Phelps clone as someone who likes to stomp on small toy stuffed animals while he pretends they’re kittens and puppies.
He also like to commit fraud… just ask some of his clients and the Oregon State Bar!
Hey Dan,
We love you

Hey ChipNASA, how’s about a “KISS THIS!” to the Dutch Rudder Gang?
Hey DRG, KISS THIS!!!
( )*( )
Here’s a leading candidate for a “Dumbshit of the Week” award:
http://www.freep.com/story/news/nation-now/2016/03/24/man-loses-leg-shooting-lawnmower-full-explosives/82232440/
The first thought going through my head was “DARWIN AKHBAR!!” followed by the thought that soon we’ll hear pols bawling for Tannerite to be banned because of Rocket Surgeons like him. Remember the M80’s and Cherry Bombs that they had in the Good Old Days before a few too many dumbshits got extra-stupid with them?
Lawn mower blade just sharpened…Check.
Gas tank full…Check.
Tactical gear…Check.
Tannerite packed tight…Check.
All weapons hot…Check.
Gene pool clogged…Check.
Gene pool cleaned…No-Go at this station.
I belong to a club that is a great Tannerite customer. One of our guys is an IED expert, he rigged a large charge. We now have a hole beside the access road from the firing line to the 1k line. In order to get to the 1k targets you have to drive around this pit. I don’t remember exactly how big the charge was but I’m thinking 10 pounds or so.
The guy in the linked story was 43 feet from the mower. The Darwin Awards people should speak with him.
Tannerite is not a toy.
He had that mower packed with three pounds of Tannerite, even the US Army would say that 300 meters would be the absolute Minimum Safe Distance and he was shooting from little more than 40-some feet away. IMHO it’s little more than sheer luck that his friends right there with him didn’t get fragged!
Hey, LOOKY at the kind of shit one gets theirself into when practicing Law sans a license in PA!
http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-3015122/Authorities-Woman-posed-lawyer-partner.html
Hey, the unlicensed practice of Law in FL IS A FELONY, ain’t it? :twisted;
15th is still respectable, right?
If not at least it is still more respectable than a never been a CPO who is about to be disbarred.
And shall we turn to page 42 of the TAH hymnal and sing our favorite hymn?
Fuck him, fuck him, fuck him!!!
Why yes it is !!!!!
It’s in the top 25 !!!!!
🙂
Thanks Skippy…that hurt, I was 26.
Ah Sparks you are still in the bracket of 64 plus we have 4 play in 🙂
You are on the high side and rolling well 🙂
ChipNASA, this is for you, from the Brits. Apparently, they fly this Mach Loop Monday through Friday.
Turn the sound down. It is LOUD!!!
https://youtu.be/6TX0fUK22Kg
I just want to know how they are gonna get that 130 up to Mach speed…..
Well, you have to have a good tail wind to start…
Nice stuff.
I was accused of being a phony; the guy I was talking with couldn’t believe I was a retired MSGT. This put him in league with most SMSgts & CMSgts who also couldn’t believe I made MSgt. I showed him my ID card (that’s DD Form 2 Retired for those scoring at home) and he presented his ID showing he was retired as well. We laughed about it; but, we should have been angry. People should be able to trust a fellow veteran with their last dollar, not challenge each other over bona fides.
I used to tease my boss about being so old he was the mess check at the last supper; his orders were, “I don’t care who you say you are, no ID card, no wine”.
Let’s challenge politicians for ID when we see them. It seems like a fair trade, stolen valor is legal free speech; asking for a politician’s ID is free speech.
26! Yahoo!!!
Twenty-seventh! Personal best!
I’m DAMN PROUD to be 34th… nothing wrong with that!
Here it is, another Friday Open Thread and another shout out to Dickless Danni-boi Bernastypants and his anal butt buddy QuEeFeRs (aka: QuEeFuMs).
Still waiting for that certified letter from the CA state bar, Danni-boi? I’m sure that you won’t have to wait much longer… but the question is, will there be a set of silver bracelets and an perp walk in your future? A little bird told me that there is… and maybe for the missus too!
As for QuEeFeRs, keep on downing those DRG “cocktails” and chasing after all the little dogs and cats in the neighborhood, and you’ll be at a “family” reunion… with your “husbands” Bubba, Thor, Julio and Mr. “Tiny” in the local poundyouintheass lockup again. Just be sure to have extra manmayo with any sammiches that the boys serve you there, OK?
Weekend recipes time!!!!
Pillsbury provides this quiche recipe, and if you know about baked eggs or egg-and-bacon pie, you know about frittatas and quiches.
Ingredients:
1 Pillsbury™ refrigerated pie crust, softened as directed on box
1 cup half-and-half or milk
4 eggs, slightly beaten
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon pepper
8 slices bacon, crisply cooked, crumbled
1 cup shredded Swiss or Cheddar cheese (4 oz)
1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
1 tablespoon chopped onion, if desired
Construction Steps:
1 – Heat oven to 350°F. Place pie crust in 9-inch glass pie plate as directed on box for One-Crust Filled Pie.
2 – In a medium bowl, mix half-and-half, eggs, salt and pepper; set aside. Layer bacon, cheeses and onion in crust-lined plate. Pour egg mixture over top.
3 – Bake 40 to 50 minutes or until knife inserted in center comes out clean. Let stand 5 minutes; cut into wedges.
You can make this ahead, cut into serving-sized pieces and freeze them for later use, or eat the entire thing at one sitting. It’s good for any time of day.
But if you go to the Pillsbury site to get more like this, be careful. The Doughboy may start showing up in your mailbox.
I gained three pounds just READING that
Use milk instead of half-and-half and low-fat cheese, minced ham instead of bacon.
Cooking it ahead makes it easier to put breakfast together, especially on a weekend.
Refrigerated pie crust? I’m disappointed in you Ex-PH2. Pie crusts are easy to make.
6 tablespoons butter – chilled
3 tablespoons lard – chilled
1 cup flour
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 cup chilled water
Place butter and lard in freezer for 15 minutes. When ready to use, remove and cut both into small pieces.
In the bowl of a food processor, combine flour and salt by pulsing 3 to 4 times. Add butter and pulse 5 to 6 times until texture looks mealy. Add lard and pulse another 3 to 4 times. Remove lid of food processor and spritz surface of mixture thoroughly with water. Replace lid and pulse 5 times. Add more water and pulse again until mixture holds together when squeezed. Place mixture in large zip-top bag, squeeze together until it forms a ball, and then press into a rounded disk and refrigerate for 30 minutes.
My food processor only handles small amounts of stuff. I have to mix that all by hand.
Sorry, hit report by accident 🙁
I usually toss in some asparagus or spinich to my mine.
Again my apologies
Thank you Ex-PH2! In fact, even I will try to make it. Remember, there’s no such thing as too much bacon or too much cheese. Oh…life is good!
Omelettes are why they invented eggs, Ex. Just sayin’…
If you have to use a toothpick to test the ‘doneness’ of something you bake, and you don’t have toothpicks, you can use a piece of spaghetti instead. Works quite nicely and is cleaner than a toothpick.
Here’s another one that will feed several people and is really very easy.
Pasta Carbonara. The term ‘carbonara’ comes from using sauteed pancetta (Italian bacon) or American bacon, or even prosciutto (ham). It is NOT made with Alredo sauce. It is made by beating eggs and dipping the al dente pasta into the eggs. See below on this.
If you’re concerned about fat calories, use EVOO to saute the onions and bacon and substitute non-pork product like turkey bacon.
The amount of pasta, onion and bacon/pancini depends on how many people you’ll feed. I usually use two eggs for me, four strips of bacon cut into one-inch sections, and a few thin slices of onion.
Beat two eggs in a bowl and set them aside. For more than one person, add one egg per person.
Sautee the onions until they’re clear, not caramelized. Remove from the pan and set aside. Cook the cut-up bacon/pancini until it’s crisp and set it aside.
Boil up some long pasta like cappellini (angel hair) until it’s al dente. Do NOT drain it into the sink. Use one ladle-full of the pasta water to temper the eggs so that they don’t cook and clump up. Just whisk the water into the eggs thoroughly. Dip the pasta into the tempered eggs until it’s well-coated, then put it on a plate and dust it with parmesano. Add some of the bacon and onion, then coat more of the pasta, put it on the plate, dust with parmesano and add more bacon and onion. Give it a good mix with forks. You can also add red pepper flakes to the pasta, if you like.
Fix a nice, green salad with a wine vinegar/olive oil dressing and a bunch of other veggies mixed in, and add some garlic bread or bruschetta or whatever, and have a nice dinner.
This goes well with a crisp white wine. And for afters, fresh fruit and cheese, more wine, and some pleasant conversation.
Buon appetito!
33rd!!!
Happy Easter to those who celebrate the holiday and happy weekend to all those who don’t….!!
Copy that VOV and back at you, for a great weekend to you and your family!
35ish!
Dan is awesome!

Oh, by the way, not first.
I’m probably jumping on the caboose of this TAH train this afternoon at about 97th or so by now.
What is the difference between Dan Bernath and a steaming pile of Phil Monkress?
One is easier to wipe off of your shoe!
And you can’t get a Bernath off your carpet.
Some stains just do not go away.
Even with Industrial-strength, high-powered cleaners.
The smell will linger forever haunting one generation after the next….
Word
Yes you can..
Cut off the offending piece of carpet and throw it away.
If it were only that easy to get rid of Bernath.
42! The answer to everything!

Anyone ever have a deferred claim and how long did it take?
You mean with the VA?
My first claim took 3 months from the day I had the exam until the day I saw my first check, the second was about 8 months. However, most of that 8 months I was in a WTU and they had to wait for me to leave active duty, which I did 1 year ago yesterday.
Thank you for the timeline

This isn’t a military story per se, but it does involve a former CinC.
Captain Paul Wolters was a guy I knew and respected when I lived up in Maine. He was a memorable SOB too. I threw his name into The Googlizer last night and sadly found that he passed away in 2008. I think you miscreants would have liked him, as I did. I also think you will like this story about him and a guy known as JFK:

To Captain Paul H. Wolter. Not Forgotten.
Well mud season is winding down slowly. And cleaning up after three dogs worth Daniel Bernath biscuit’s in the yard.
Its interesting seeing what household goods were eaten over the winter. I do not want my mechanical pencil back that bad.
Having lost a Brother in arms and fellow Marine Teammate in Vietnam in 1972 (Cpl. Jimmy Worth, ANGLICO, MIA/KIA body not recovered), This is an effort I have supported.
I believe this is a worthy effort and every vet on your site should consider helping with this short film.
The Indiegogo fund raiser has ended and is $5800 short of their goal to produce “Mission: Welcome Home”.
The film is a powerful tribute to our nation’s fallen veterans. Help turn this memorable story (inspired by true events) into a powerful short film!
BEHIND THE STORY
(written by Kat Croft, Writer/director)
On March 10, 2015, my lifelong friend, Tom Saunders, was on a training mission with six other highly skilled MARSOC Marines and four National Guardsmen when their Black Hawk helicopter hit fog and crashed into the ocean off the coast of Florida. These were the kind of men that we thought would survive anything. They were all brothers-in-arms and are now lovingly known as the “Raider 7”. Tom’s funeral was a celebration of his life that moved me to my core!
The indiegogo campaign ended, No problem.

Sub Unit One, 1st ANGLICO, 1970-72
In case you missed it and care or missed it and don’t care, the Tenth Circuit issued a ruling this week in a case involving the loaning of weapons and large capacity magazines (LCM’s) in the state of Colorado.
The law basically says that a Federal background check must be performed if a person is going to lend a weapon to someone for over 72 hours. The law also allows people who currently own LCM’s to keep them, but they may not sell them and new ones may not be manufactured or possessed by anyone.
A group of retailers and businesses sued over the law. They were joined in the suit by what appears to be most of the Sheriffs in Colorado.
The District Court dismissed the lawsuit due to a lack of standing by the plaintiffs. The Tenth Circuit upheld the dismissal for the same reasons saying that the groups suing had not been harmed and therefore lacked standing to challenge the law.
You can read the decision here if you’d like:

A lot of chicken wings, basketball and lukewarm draft beer = a huge puddle of steaming Phil Monkress (CEO of All-Points Logistics) in the morning.
Easily flushed, mind you.
I should do a commercial for Pepto-Bismol.
I’ve got a question for the Army guys…why did the Army phase out the green service uniform? It was a pretty sharp uniform I thought.
One of the reasons was to bring us back into tradition. Blue was worn by the US military from the Revolution through the 19th Century. There were other reasons as well.
I like the ASUs better.

I’d vote for him in a heartbeat.

WAAAAY late to the party, don’t even know what number I am, but happy Easter weekend y’all. Before all the company shows up to our new house, I’m gonna christen the new smoking area (garage) with a La Gloria Cubana Serie R and some Puerto Rican coffee
I got hit with a dose of karma last night. A coworker of mine was complaining that he seems to keep being hit by jury duty. I told him that I had never had it and low and behold what is waiting for me in my mailbox last night. I got hit with jury duty in May. I have to call in every night for the entire month to see if I have been selected for a trial.
Civil or Criminal?
well it’s another weekend. it’s quite here in the old pebleo no trump no sanders or biliary
I would have said Cruz but he didn’t make it here last weekend. from the sounds of it he’s in some deep doo doo… have a good one
I saw that truck with “f**k trump” on the rear window and the Mexican flag Friday. Thornydale and Orange Gove. Real class act.
Bernie Sanders won three states yesterday and MSN still does not give him credit.
Not a huge fan, per se, but in every debate he has been declared the loser. So much so that Clinton could call in sick and Sanders is still declared the loser. Wow. You have to give credit where it is due but MSN has already sided with Clinton; Sanders be damned.
And I find it ironic on so many levels. As much as I detest Obummer, he did attempt to tackle (in the beginning, anyway) racial discord and the gender “glass ceiling”. Clinton is perpetuating those issues for the votes. Lower socio-economic spectrum and minorities, who, by the way, would probably benefit more under Sanders than her.
And Sanders is still the loser?
Sad.
I will say this much, if Clinton gets the nod over Sanders primarily based on Super Delegates, watch out. Toss in the fact that the GOP might “bump Trump” for another candidate and the possibilities become intriguing.
Sanders and Trump as independents against the GOP candidate and Clinton?
It could be anybody’s ballgame. Especially considering their energizing new bases of support. I wonder if MSN would then call one of them losers if they were elected?
Probably.
Thoughts?
Also, a free beer to anyone that can correctly guess or estimate the number of Easter Eggs that The False Commander Phony Phil Monkress (CEO of All-Points Logistics) will steal from other participants today?
To clarify the statement with Sanders and Trump: I was referring to a four-way race, not them teaming up.
42.
42 Easter Eggs is what Phony Phil will try to steal.
Because 42 is the Answer to the Ultimate Question of Life, the Universe, and Everything.
I say 42 as well, and may Phildo spend the rest of his days tied to a chair forced to listen to endless recitations of Vogon poetry.
I thought that was 4:20.
OK, was 42 the correct estimate/guess?
Both API and I want to know if we’re gonna get free beers.
The suspense is Killam us.
