Bonus weekend open thread
October 1, 2017
Morning Sun
A seal basks in early morning sunlight in Skagen, Denmark. The fishing town is located at the northermost point of Denmark, and watching the seals relax and play is a common tourist diversion.
I’ve got to give you another open thread while I spend the day with my son who is off to Syria for the Winter on Tuesday. So have fun and don’t hurt yourselves. But here’s a picture of a real SEAL.
Category: Open thread
Woot! Seals on the beach.
NAVY SEALS!
is that Don?
First!
Ahem…..
Third! (Or second, depending on how the Doc Savage-Claw battle goes …)
There will be no battle. Doc Savage and I served as Red Warriors on Carson at the same time.
He hadn’t declared an official First, and since I wanted to enter my own name into the Coveted Book of Firsts, I jumped at the opportunity.
This is a Bonus WOT, so whoever’s “First!” it is really doesn’t count in the overall competition.
1st Bn, 12th Inf Regiment….back in the day.
First rounds on me.
Yep, back in the day when the Infantry Battalions for the First Brigade, 4th ID were still 1/12 and 1/10 Inf. Then 1/10 became 2/12 when the Regimental system kicked in.
Back in the day when the two Battalion Commanders would sneak away from their offices to avoid the never ending BS just to have a good cup of coffee in my S-4 shop and take a breather.
Back in the day when the Bn Cdr of 1/10/2/12 was still a LTC and was well on his way to becoming the Chief of Staff of the Army.
Back in the day when the Bn CSM was known as “The Missing Link” and would give “Letters of Astonishment” to NCO’s he thought were screwing up.
Ah, yes, those were the days, my friend.
Second rounds on me.
I’ll take the key to the executive wash room now.
Does this mean I give it up from Friday?
You may have it Doc.
Got-DAMN FAKE SEALS!!!
STOLEN
VALOR!!!!WEEKEND OPEN THREAD!!!!!!!!LOL
Hey! Where’d you get that picture of me? Can I have NOOO privacy at all???
Oh, and fifthests. 😛 😛 😛 😛
ExTra FiRST!
Is there any use for old, tired keyboards? I’ve switched mine out to a new one, which requires a little break-in, get used to it, time on my part, but the old one is in a box waiting for a new destiny. What do I do with it? Take it to Staples and dump it?
Since a new one is but $10 or $12, there is no call for the old ones. Those that I have used, wound up with no letters on the keyboard, so anyone who does “Hunt and Peck” typing can’t use mine. If I weren’t so calloused, I guess that I wouldn’t wear the letters off so fast, but being one who has an actual life, as well as being a Keyboard Warrior, I have no letters on mine.
Best Buy stores have electronic recycling bins, not sure about Staples. Save some shoe leather and call ’em up.
Thank you. I should have switched out months ago.
“What do I do with it?”
Pull!
September went out in style, with actual criminals getting put in jail, having their lies exposed, and giving lots of people the pleasure of knowing, at least for now, that they won’t be victimizing others. Of special interest to me was the arrest of STOLEN VALORIST KYLE CHRISTOPHER BARWAN, who has shown by his actions, (well over 100 days in jail in 2017 alone), that he doesn’t mind incarceration.
Very glad to hear of t. Where did he screw up this time?
(Throw an “i” in there somewhere.)
I have very sketchy info, but I think it was in Massachusetts where he tried to scam a lady out of $500, “because the army has messed up my pay”, or something like that.
Frankie,
Keep us posted would like to let his “fans” know.
MEH, top twelve!!!
A beautiful sunny morning and Bernath is in JAIL awaiting his Mental Evaluation.
I wonder how the colo-rectal cancer exams went last night?
I wonder if he’s met Mr. “Tiny” yet?
Wondering how the Commie LT’s weekend is going? Wonder if Frankie has any G2 from his Ranger contacts on the LT?
THAT would be fun to find out, I’m sure they’ve got that little shit of a 2LT locked down like a BCT Joe in the first week!
Nothing from the Ranger Instructors, (because it isn’t their place to comment on things like this), but I did read, from a reliable source, that he washed out of Ranger School, some time back.
Word on the street is, youngster commie is secured,
awaiting the outcome of his stupid stunts. In other news, his fellow travelers have a gofundme they’ve established to afford him the finest defense their money can afford.
Anyone wanna bet on my prediction about his being the next media darling of the left?
They should assign him as “assistant vector control officer” and “assistant dependant housing officer”
At McMurdo Station, Antarctica
Let him spend his obligation, all of it, counting penguins.
“Why no, we are not accepting resignations 2LT. Stop loss for the war effort you see. Not satisfied with your count either. Start over at zero.”
Why not in-flight missile repairman?
“You’re fired!”
Latrine Cleanliness Maintenance Officer?
I will give that picture the “SEAL” of approval. Amazing that I came up with this pun because I only had oatmeal this morning. Seems like I forgot to pick up my Oscar Myer deli fresh turkey which I mix in with the eggs.
I am beginning to think my PTSD puppy is not exactly what I was expecting.
DId you tell him the mailman is a Steeler? ROFLMAO!!
Squirrel!
Send it…….
=========
“Fix” -this- doc……
Bro, that is exactly the dog I would expect to see you with.
Good trigger discipline and correct eye relief. What was the problem again?
That hit me so hard that I laughed ’till it hurt. Too close to home from when my dogs were still with us.
Happy 1st of the month? Wrong crowd, Happy Sunday!! Get thee to church you f*cking heathens!
Speaking of heathens, f*ck: Antifa, BLM, Socialists, Anarchists, Communists, the Dem(ented)acratic Party, ISIS, the N(ot)F(or)L(ong), anyone that doesn’t love America,… Bob Costas,…Hollywood…the EU, the Spanish government for a whole host of reasons…
I’m done.
For now.
dang…here I am just upset that ran out of coffee and had to go to the local freak fest—err…store—
working up a good amount of hate IS my coffee, which I swallow with a half of a pot of coffee
Yeah? Well “Get Thee To A Nunnery”
Found a great tshirt at Nine Line Apparel.
“ALL LIVES MATTER”
“except isis. fuck those guys”

The Juice is loose!
Perhaps he rent the Bernasty house while he is in jail.
Finally OJ will be able to search for the real killers
Send him a mirroe
Mirror
…shhheeeeeeshh……
I thought you meant “send him to Moreau” as in Island Of.
I like the way you think.
What I read is that Florida does not want OJ in their State.
Only pure -Florida- orange juice, not that disreputable California stuff.
I wonder if he’ll be going from one golf course to another in his search like he did prior to being locked up?
Enjoy your time with your son, Jonn… and thanks for the Bonus OT!
Hey,
Hi head DICKWEED.
If no one says it, I will,
“WE LOVE YOU JONN!!!!”
/no homo.
//even if it *was* a tiny bit homo, it’s still OK. We just love and appreciate you and TAH.
///I hope your son sees what you do and knows how much you and TAH mean to all of us.
*fist bump*
Hope you have some words of wisdom for your son Jonn.
Jonn don’t give “words of wisdom” to his kids. He tried it with one son and he joined the Air Force.
Jonn I’m glad you’re spending time with your son. God speed to him on his deployment.
Agree…👍
Ditto.
Same 👍👍👍
I remember when someone promised that there would be no troops in Syria…
Hmmm…
Have a great weekend and God Bless your son for stepping up to do the right thing. There are millions of us out here that support him.
I forgot to post this.
Sucks to be this idiot…

Larry Corriea is an accountant, by the way. Pity the fool that breaks into -that- home….
(From Monster Hunter International)
Hunter: “Which gun laws does this weapon violate?”
Armorer: (Thinks about it) “All of them”
THose are great books by Larry if you like that gendre. Very well written, funny and he gets the gun stuff right.
I and my wife have Monster Hunter International stickers on our vehicles
Yeah, almost forgot. That wasn’t far from me. Steal bras, run from cops and bust into a building where someone is armed. Play stupid games…..
Good shoot.
A bonus thread but still the same for The False Commander “Phony” Phil Monkress (CEO of All-Points Logistics) and his Legion of Taint.
For supper, it’s barbecue beans with smoked sausage, cornbread, BBQ potato chips, radishes, carrots, celery and olives on the side, and for afters, chocolate ice cream.
Cost: a mere #7.50, including tax.
Sounds delicious.
Chicken-fried steak w/ gravy, mashed potatoes, and buttered peas here. Southern comfort food.
Good food is always tasty and cost effective.
I have enough chorizo to make two batches of red beans and rice with smoked sausage.
Yum. We bought some fresh shrimp from a roadside vendor I’ve bought from before for $5/lb. Fresh caught.
Going to have them with dirty rice, garlic bread and homemade tongue pickles.
new plan. wife decided to dig some sweet potato’s so the rice is out.
Chicken fried bacon.
Cause, “Murica!”
Had a big enough lunch that supper will be snacks only. A seriously stuffed smoked/baked potato – pulled pork, scallions, bacon, cheese, tomatoes, BBQ sauce, jalapenos, siracha sour cream. For $5. Really good stuff.
In other news, SNL opened it’s season mocking the President. You know, the same way they always did with their “Lord and savior” Obama. Yawn.
And a beautiful day it is he in the oven called Arizona
Partridge season opens tomorrow. Going to be a beautiful frosty Fall morning. As the sun rises the birds will step out from their cover to feel the warmth. I will step out of my vehicle, attempt to chamber a shell but drop it on the ground. No hurry. I’ll pick it up and wipe it clean then chamber the round, raise the gun and clean the birds head off.
And the foliage is a really nice touch.
What a great country.
Dang. I miss partridge season. You must be in the Northeast. Everyone else calls them Grouse. Crisp days jumping them and scouting for deer at the same time. Miss those long walks in the woods.
Roughed Grouse is what the state calls them but up heah they are paaahhtridge.
always pahtridge….
Those paaahhtridge are illegal to shoot if they are in a peaaar tree.
Prayers up for your son. Jonn.
Had a day off, and discovered I was very close to the Flight 93 memorial.
Humbling doesn’t even begin to cover it. I’ll send pics to Jonn if he wants to post them because my HTML-fu sucks.
But the one pic I got with a quote on it says it all:
“A common field one day. A field of honor forever.”
Darn, I forgot to watch any football today.
“forgot”?
If so, me too.
There was football today? Really? Huh.
Oh, well. I have a clean kitchen floor and my summer clothes can now be put into storage.
Oh! I looked at my notes for something and realized I had 9 projects planned instead of 7 for that particular thingy. Loads of fun!
The only football usually happens on Saturday. Anybody looking for a football game on Sunday, is a dimwit.
Friday night football is what I prefer. Local High School kids play harder, and love what they’re doing.
Jonn, God bless your son as he goes off to do what needs to be done downrange…
Sure am glad the weekend weather girl here on the local channel is blonde and has a good set of 42DD’s to help soften the blow when she says the next week’s forecast doesn’t even show anything higher than 48 degrees for highs/possible valley floor snows for the next three days in the upcoming week.
But the forecast right now calls for a nice, clear weather pattern for next weekend, so that’s good.
42DDs????
Hmmmm, me thinks your local channel must pay her an excellent salary to have those pairs. 👀👀
What does Mrs. Claw think of the weather girl? (smile) 😉
I’m just gonna drop this here for everyone’s perusal. Only comment I have is “I concur”.

President Faily McWorsethancarter?? That is priceless.
That smug, obnoxious twirp rapone needs a serious lesson in what happens to traitors in war time.
Spot on!!!
