Weekend open thread
Something’s in the Way
A sailboat heads toward an iceberg and its rocky look-alike in eastern Greenland’s Scoresby Sund, a Greenland Sea inlet that branches into an intricate network of fjords. Greenland, the world’s largest island, is more than 80 percent covered by ice; however, despite its desolate appearance in this image, the sound is a productive habitat for wildlife, supporting many species of land animals, birds, and marine life.
I don’t know how much time I’ll have to spend on this thing this weekend, it appears that folks have plans for me. So, Merry Christmas to those of you that deserve it.

On a positive note my wife and I just joined a private range. I have held off because we have never paid to shoot but decided to join as I have a number of rifles to try out that I’ve acquired.
I’ve also always wanted to try long range as in 1,000yrd shooting and they have a range for that. The owner is a former Sniper and requires everyone who wants to do that to take a class with him and show that they know what they are doing including how to use a scope at that distance before letting them do it.
I lost my backyard range when I moved into town and hade to by a range membership also. But I have been having fun eliminating pidgin’s from my bird feeder with a pellet gun. Its still about BRM.
Merry Christmas,everyone! The wife and I have been busy selling our current home and buying a new one so the stress at the home is higher than the usual holiday fare.
But we’re doing well despite it all and I have this place to come to for the humor that won’t offend anyone’s sensitive natures.
For those that appreciate chorale music, and for this season – O Magnum Mysterium
Gregorian chants are my thing. oBaMa says the Muslim call to prayer is the sweetest sound he ever heard. oBaMa never listened to Gregorian chants.
B. Hussein 0bama attended a madrassa (jizzlamic parochial school) when he was a kin in Indiesia. I’m sure he’s a closet muzzie and foo-foo.

Thank you, this is like heaven! Belated Merry Christmas to editors and readers, defenders and veterans.
I enjoyed singing in choirs in high school and college. Choral music doesn’t get much more beautiful than this. Thanks for sharing this.
A very Merry Christmas to all, and may you all have a blessed New Year.
It’s a white Christmas in SoCal! Doesn’t happen very often, as we usually get our snow in January-February. My daughter is loving it.
Merry Christmas TAH! Update on Jeffrey Belk…he claims to be a thirty year BUDDY of our AMERICAN SNIPER CHRIS KYLE (R.I.P.) went shooting with Kyle weekly and was gifted by Mrs. Kyle with KYLES FAVORITE HAND GUN. The serial number and description of the gun are on Military Phonys. Tracking the numbers via ATF.
He’s now hiding with his daughter, FALLON, from her mother a disabled ARMY CORPORAL somewhere in Texas. After outing the posuer in Monroe, NC his VETERAN RUN BUSINESS WENT TO SHIT. The ex, Krickett now married to a Military man in good standing had to RELOCATE to FL, via husbands military service.
NC Judicial system sucks bricks and the posuer can write honorable service on court papers, plaster the internet with videos of him shooting (yup, thats the stance of a Master Sgt ?),leave the state without permission from Parole officer and gets away with a hand slap. Hopefully Texas will put a stop to His crap. Please help get this punk arrested.
And the Browns are on a win streak.
20-17 over the Chargers.
Pity it wasn’t the 49er’s.
Watch out Merica, Crapernick will be with another team next year…Rams, Browns, Jets, Bears?
He may be picked up by the Washington Generals.
He has more than proven his qualification.
Maybe he’ll be inflicted on the Detroit Lions or the Browns? I got pulled over in Cleveland one time, and instead of a traffic citation I got a couple of tickets to a Browns game! Maybe San Foo-foo LE is having to do that these days? I heard rumor that some mall Santa was facing child abuse charges for threatening to give bad kids SF 49ers and Cleveland Browns tickets and paraphenalia.

Santa showed up early. My neighbor just pulled up in a spanking brand new Challenger Hellcat. Thing sounds like it eats children!!
“Twas the day before Christmas,
And in his house
Bernath was stirring and plotting
Being himself, a louse
His sniveling sidekick a’drooling
Wishing he was at Bernath’s side
Wishing for a check and a free ride.
Bernath still a’plotted
Though by his own actions he’s been tarred
Completely disgraced and also disbarred.
He pulls on his plots like an Ox on a yoke
Everywhere he’s been he’s known as a joke
He tries to steal Valor like a possessed thief
Everyone knows he’s never been a Chief.
He’ll stir, he’ll plot, threaten to sue
And continue to do so while his face turns blue
By his own actions himself he has dissed
Real lawyers laugh at him as his cases get dismissed.
He is also known as the petty fool
Who tied to take off without enough fuel
He crashed and then sued
People laughed at him again until their faces blued
He says to the courthouse he’ll go
everyone knows he’s never been a CPO
And once again everyone scoffs and laughs at Bernath

Or Ye Olde English Shakepearean version:
Twas the day erst Christmas,
And within his house
Bernath was abroaching and plotting
Being himself, a louse
His sniveling accessary a’drooling
Wishing he was at Bernath’s side
Wishing for a rebate and a uncurbed
Wishing for a rebate and a wreak ride.
Bernath whist a’plotted
Though by his enjoy actions he’s been tarred
Completely disgraced and eke disbarred.
He pulls on his plots as though an Smug on a yoke
Everywhere he’s been he’s known as a joke
He tries to untreasure Valor as though a possessed thief
Everyone wit he’s nary been a Chief.
He’ll wag, he’ll engine, threaten to sue
And meagre to dost so while his countenance turns blue
By his enjoy actions himself he hath dissed
Real lawyers laugh at him as his cases get dismissed
He is eke known as the sixpenny fool
Who tred to daff sans sufficing fuel
He crashed and then sued
People laughed at him once more till that their faces blued
He says to the courthouse he’ll go
everyone wit he’s nary been a CPO
And erst once more ye scoffs and laughs at Bernath

‘Let us remember before God,’ says the prayer, ‘all those who rejoice with us, but upon another shore — that multitude which no man can number.’
The Christmas program at King’s College, Cambridge was inspired by something that happened on Christmas Eve, 1914. The German and British soldiers started singing Christmas carols to each other, on that bitterly cold night.

Okay, Santa is in the air and making his way north from South America. For all you flatlanders out east, before it gets too late in the night and you retire early, here’s my Christmas present for all the old miscreant farts who may remember it.
A yellow bird
With a yellow bill
Was sitting on
My window sill.
I threw some bread
I reeled him in
And then I smashed
His f-ing head.
The doctor came
To see his head
Alright he said
The bird is dead.
The moral is
If you want some head
You need to get
Some F-ing bread.
Merry Christmas, TAH.
What, not a rousing rendition of “Columbo”?
Merry Christmas!
Merry Christmas!
And a very Merry Christmas to all!
Merry Christmas to all from the Pineywoods clan and attack cats!!
I wish someone ( with more computer smarts than me) would go to YouTube and link up the United States Navy Band version of *White Christmas* here to TAH.
We are really missing out on seeing three PO1’s and a Chief jazz up the holidays with the Doo-Wop Drifters version of the song.
So, out there somewhere, would one of you computer whizzes bring a little joy to the masses of TAH miscreants.
Thank You.
