Believe in something.
I wanted to give a short update on things in general.
It has taken many of us to fill the void. Most of what we needed to do behind the scenes has been taken care of. TSO will finish the legal stuff here shortly. I realize that there have not been a lot of posers posted lately, that is on purpose and my fault. I apologize for the lapse but there are reasons for it. We will be back to exposing these fake and embellishing frauds very soon. Believe me, it’s not like there is a sudden shortage of them.
I make more than my share of mistakes. I realize things are not running as smoothly as they were when Jonn was alive…but we are getting there. I post what seems to serve the mission Jonn set for this blog. Yes, some articles are probably a bit of old news to some of you and other articles may be on the edge of acceptable to some others.
It’s all I can do some days to stop a certain woman with a gravy ladle from turning the site background pink and posting pictures of kitty cats chasing rainbows. This is going to hurt a little…she has done a remarkable job of keeping up with things behind the scenes. Thank you, Gravy Lady. You are the best EX I could ever hope for.
So many others have stepped up as well. Your submissions have been very, very, very helpful. AW1Ed is exactly the kind of person you want around when the shit hits the fan. He is thoughtful, well organized and the epidemy of what a team player should be. A huge ATTABOY goes out to Ed.
I have been trying to get a certain Lawyer to do her job for a change. I don’t think she likes me much. I tried to introduce myself to her. Caragh Fay pretends she is the authority on all things Beirut from time to time. Seems to me Caragh Fay likes to do it when there is something in it for her. Maybe she is just sweet on me…hard to tell at this point.
The Soviet may be correct about me when I try to multitask. She claims I can talk to people and piss them off all at the same time. I just get a little pissy when a lawyer who has made millions off of the blood of my dead brothers seems to think its ok to ignore the needs of so many others. How can someone know I am an Asshole without knowing me? Is it really that obvious?
In response to a recent comment, yes I do get embarrassed sometimes…but its not over anything to do with this blog. I try to read all of the comments, you people have issues too. Never met a better group of deplorable trouble causers in my life.
Forgive us if the content sucks or just gets thin from time to time. Most of us do have another life. Best regards to all, and most of all… THANK YOU FOR BELIEVING IN SOMETHING.

Outstanding report. It is always hard to take over a unit that has been performing great…you can only keep it there or fail. You folks have done a great job of keeping things going. I was concerned that posers seem to be fading away but you splained that superbly.
1st
damn not quick enuff, 2nd
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
Appreciate what you and everyone who is working to keep TAH up and running are doing. It’s a thankless job probably, but I bet you’ve had one of those before at some point.
That last sentence was sarcasm.
“[Y]ou people have issues too.” My issues have issues. The last time I had to take a psych exam for a particular position, I was asked whether I ever daydreamed of hurting others. I recall asking, in response, does wiping every sorry bastard from the planet count? I laughed to let the questioner think I was kidding. It worked. I got the position. Idiots.
Have you ever plucked the wings off of a fly and watched it hop around as it tried to take off?
Have you ever stuck a feather in a cat’s ear while it was sleeping?
Have you ever fed a dog a big glop of peanut butter and laughed while it struggled with it on the back of its throat?
Does sitting on a curb with a string tied to a frog’s rear leg and letting it hop into a busy road in order to yank it back just as its about to be flattened by a Firestone count?
Have you ever mummified the Berthing Petty Officer in duct tape along with a sign saying “Gear adrift this Mother*****r”?
Dahell did you just say? Berthing officer and gear adrift?
Forget it Cav. It’s a skimmer thing.
NavySpeak, Cav. I’d translate for you, but you really don’t care anyway.
Unofficial Marine Corps policy for acquisition of equipment:
Gear adrift is a gift!
I’ve never done the feather thing with a cat, but, I am a miserable son of a bitch, because I’ve abused my cat by doing this and sitting there laughing my fucking ass off.
I’ve loved all my kitties but they are assholes and they know it.
Please try to ignore the robotic voice narrating the film….
Oh and Dave and TSO and EX-PH2 and AW1Ed and everyone that has stepped up and stepped into Jonn’s shoes to keep TAH going, I can’t thank all of you enough. TAH helps me keep my sanity knowing that there are others out there that are sick, twisted and disgusting, just like me.
I whole heartedly agree with all that has been said about Dave, TSO, EX and AW and everyone else that has tried to help you do a thankless job! Please all keep up the good work and keep us deplorables entertained! This site is the only thing that keeps me sane and keeps me from grabbing a flight to New Mexico and blowing my pos brothers brains out! In his case I would only need a 22 short to accomplish the mission. I truly love all of you and let me know if there is anything I could do to help you out? I am the village idiot, but I can do simple tasks??
Really, I love you all and thank you for all the support!!!
Love you all,
Willy
Hey, the VA says I am PTSD positive. Lawyers trigger me.
The Soviet thinks you are cute…so you have that going for ya.
Well, don’t let her in on the frog story. I’d rather her think me cute.
Genuine laugh out loud at that one. Are you looking for an assistant?
I don’t have issues, I have a freaking subscription!
That being said, you and everyone else have done a great job Dave, I figure that anyone who might complain about it can either step up or shut up…
But like the comments above, you all have been doing a hell of a job under terrible circumstances.
Thanks for the tip.
Not that I need it.
Really.
Thanks for doing what you do, keep on being excellent here. I’m glad you all were able to continue this effort because it is a noble one.
I haven’t been tested but I think I’m at least 1/1024th a$$hole.
Nothing wrong with kitty cats chasing a rainbow. You can never have enough cats. Don’t take my word for it, ask any of our grand daughters.
Hell Dave, with the Soviet on one side of you and EX on the other side, (both pointing you in the proper direction) how can you go wrong? (grin)
I pity any future new posers/frauds that will eventually be posted here. The Deplorable & Despicable Dickweeds here at TAH have been sharpening their fangs in anticipation of ripping them a new one.
To quote MR. T: “I pity the fool!”
Keep up the good work, Dave, TSO, EX, AW1Ed, Poe, Hondo and the many others.
We all owe Dave and Mark a huge thanks for picking up the reins after, well, just after. Without them this whole place would have collapsed into dust and been blown away. They have been the backbone of TAH.
Also thanks goes out to all you TAH dickweeds out there, pulling for the site and keeping the faith. Without an audience this place would be like one hand clapping, and not last long.
Learned a couple lessons over time- when complimented, say “thanks” and shut up, and it’s near impossible to make everyone happy, but stupid easy to piss everyone off.
So, thanks, Dave.
AW1Ed out.
Caragh Fay is a potty mouth.
If Caragh Fay talks to you this way, she probably talks this way to others as well.
Caragh Fay wouldn’t know what an asshole was if it came up and kissed her on the lips.
Caragh Fay needs to have her mouth washed out with soap.
Caragh Fay has a limited vocabulary if she can’t articulate herself better than that.
Caragh Fay should not be an attorney if she treats people like this.
Caragh Fay DOES NOT represent most Beirut Veterans…fact is most veterans have no idea who she is.
In my humble opinion, Caragh Fay has spent most of her professional life feeding off of the sacrifice Beirut veterans made.
You would think she could display a bit of humility and STFU about things she knows nothing about.
I believe she is either lazy or is deliberately keeping nearly 300 vicitms of Iranian sponsored terrorism from being represented.
I see her as either stupid and lazy or evil. she can pick.
What’s wrong with all three?
Thanks, Dave…
If it weren’t for Dave Hardin, there would be no gravy or Dave Hardin.
I promise:
– never to mess with the background color unless I think Dave Hardin is off somewhere in another country.
– never to cease doing whatever I can to embarrass hoitytoity people who probably pick their noses when they think no one is looking
– never to stop making gravy or being saucy
– some day, I’ll get a gun… and I’ll make it pink, with kittens on it… and rhinestones.
I always stand corrected.
As God is my witness, I truly thought turkeys could fly.
Turkeys CAN fly, Ex-PH2.
It’s just that they don’t land very well as evidenced by Lawn Dart Danny. (smile)
Here ya go, lass:
(smile)
And it’s Hello Kitty, too! Thank you, Hondo!
That’s the one! Thank you!
In spite of it all, like a normally dysfunctional family, we are all still here. For the few that wandered off, maybe they were just looking for a excuse to leave. Some of those will be back eventually. Transition is tough.
Much gratitude to everyone who has contributed to keeping this ragtag bunch sort of organized. Most of us only have being here among the gaggle to offer but even that is valuable.
So, thanks to all.
TAH is the cone in an ice cream cone. More often than not, the cone is stuffed with a flavor all of us like and, sometimes, it isn’t. I’m a vanilla, chocolate, and strawberry guy myself and, occasionally, I’ll try something else. When I do and I don’t like it, I spit it out all over the place. That’s what I do.
Just for you, Cav, I’ll write my future pieces in Neapolitan…
Ma Poetrooper – sicuramente si sa che a Napoli, parlano italiano! (sorriso)
You always do, pal. I always enjoy your stuff.
Amen !!!!!!
Thank you, Dave. Thank you Ex-PH2 and AW1Ed as well. Y’all have done a great job and I have no complaints or issues. Just do what you can and live your lives first. This is a shakedown cruise as the wetter service puts it and it’s going to take time for things to settle in. So all of you take a well-deserved bow and know I stand with you.
Same goes for me for a thank you to Dave,EX-PH2 and AW1Ed. In my short time on this site, I see 99.8% of the commenters have the same views as I do, mine being a little serious but my puns and yolks outweigh my seriousness on some of the stuff. As Iv’e mentioned in past comments, I am not computer savvy for doing any contributions. I can just about copy and paste which is limited.
Dave and crew, moocho thanks for keeping the joint open.
How are ya fixed for funds?
Covered up with money, we got so much money coming in I got nowhere to stuff it.
Bills are all paid at the moment. Only had two lawyers threatening us this month. Our lawyers are starting to slack off.
I caught one of them in a Hot Dog outfit play golf recently…I shit you not. He thinks I am an asshole too…but in a kind loving give ya a reach around kinda way.
We could use some jack in the bank … it takes a lot more than most realize to keep things going. (please support the Sobiets Viagra fund)
I encouraged that hot dog suit outfit and took the photo. Figured it was the least I could do to get “him” from thinking about migraines, bad stomach events, sleepless nights, dirt darts, etc.
Lets hope the worst of that is behind us now. Irish car bombs seem to settle his stomach and nerves.
Just send jars of gravy to Dave Hardin.
You are doing a fine job John still there because he push you to keep going
“Most of us do have another life”
Yeah but it’s not nearly the fun this place is.
It takes a village to raise an idiot. And we, the despicable, deplorable denizens of TAH, are that village. We’re pretty proud of our idiot and those that keep this place running. Thanks to everyone who works to keep our little den of iniquity happily humming along.
Now then. Where in the hell is Yef, this floor looks like ass!
“How the fuck would I ask others to check on an asshole I don’t know?
Fuck you.”
LOL
Gee, if only he’d let me deal with that moistened bimp.
Thanks to all of you keeping me laughing. We have a bond no one can touch.
“We have a bond no one can touch…”
Ain’t that the truth….whips, chains, leather and duct tape and all that….
OOPS….Ex-PH2, maybe I’ve said too much.
😀 😉
ChipNASA,I’m beginning to think that you want to experience life fully, untrammeled and unrestrained. I think you should do that. The world is not enough for you.
If you like, we could dress up as Space Fleet Marines and attend a SciFi convention, and try to recruit people (as long as they pay us) to join the Space Fleet Marines or the Brute Force Ramjets. So many possibilities….
Dave, thank you for continuing to serve Jonn’s mission and your dedication to TAH. I appreciate the opportunity to contribute on occasion.
Please stop bashing on kitty cats and rainbows.
Cocksucker.
BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOM!!!
Shack!
Thanks to all on Team TAH, particularly Dave, Ex-PH2, and my Top Gun-quoting Naval Aviation nemesis AW1Ed, for keeping this place up and running.
Jonn would undoubtedly be very appreciative and proud.
Semper Fidelis.
Jonn IS undoubtedly be very appreciative and proud.
OK and going forward, I’d hope that the powers that be here at TAH will continue to allow me to post this when requested and voted upon by the membership. For those of you that have seen this, here is the latest. For those of you that maybe have not or haven’t seen this in a while, because the dynamic here has changed of late, but I am confident when we get back up to speed, we’ll be dropping this like a red hot GBU-43B (aka MOAB) (As always, any additions are always welcome.)

Get off the fence, Chip, and let us know how you really feel.
Bwaaaaa
Halle-fuckin’-luah!
WOOT!!!
Continent? Shit’s turning into Pangaea!
Damn, Chip. Pretty sure that was two continents.
I’d also like to preemptively state my approval of the judicious application of the Continent of Insults to any assclowns and posers that deserve it.
Now show me know the doll where the poster touched you, Chip.
I request the following words and phrases be included in the Continent of Insults:
twatwaffle
fucksickle
lutefisk-sucking
dumber than a mud fence
guilty of premeditated retardation
less honest than CNN
I’m not the least concerned with temporary changes during this transition period. Jonn left shoes that none could fill. It will get better with time. Thinking I’m speaking for most when I say I appreciate the continuation of TAH. I appreciate the efforts of all. Posers are in line, waiting to be exposed.
Thank you for keeping the site going! I especially love Thursdays with all the recipe’s. Keep up the great work!!!
NAVY HISTORY! FRIENDLY FIRE INCIDENT! Some of you may remember this incident! I was on the USNS Passumpsic T-AO-107 in the IO when this happen and remember picking up message traffic in Radio when I heard about it. Seems like yesterday. 🙁 On 22 September 1987, an F-14 Tomcat, of VF-74 out of NAS Oceana, Virginia Beach, Virginia, operating from the USS Saratoga, accidentally shot down a US Air Force RF-4C-22 Phantom II jet, of the 26th Tactical Reconnaissance Wing, The Air Force jet was out of Zweibrücken Air Base, West Germany. The jet was shot down at 1550 over the Mediterranean during a NATO exercise. Both RF-4C crew ejected, pilot Capt Michael Ross and 1st Lt Randy Sprouse both of the 38th TRS, were rescued by a helicopter from the USS Saratoga within 30 minutes, suffering numerous injuries. They were met on the flight deck by the AdmirAL Boorda who at the time was the Carriers Commander on the USS Saratoga. When 1Lt. Sprouse saw the Admiral he remarked…… “I thought we were supposed to be on the same side?” to which the Admiral Boorda replied…..”We’re sorry about this, but most of the time we are.” Lt(jg). Dorsey, the pilot of the F-14 who shot down the Air Force jet was taking part in a non-fire flight exercise. He was given a command to simulate a missile firing but took it literally, armed his Sidewinder missile without telling his back-seat radar intercept officer, and shot down the Air Force plane. Lt(jg) Timothy Dorsey, was duly disciplined and permanently removed from flying status.However, he continued to rise through the ranks and was a Captain when in February 2012 Defense Secretary Leon Panetta recommended Captain Dorsey’s promotion to Rear Admiral. Capt. Dorsey’s father, James Dorsey, was at the time of the incident Commanding Officer of the carrier USS America and an aviator. A year later, James Dorsey became assistant deputy Chief of Naval Operations at the Pentagon and eventually retired as a three-star Vice Admiral. SOME NOTABLE OFFICER’S THAT SERVED ON THE USS SARATOGA: – Admiral Jeremy Michael Boorda, ship was… Read more »
The very first thing the Helo Rescue Swimmer did after getting both of the Air Force crew into the helo and rendering aid as needed, was to ‘count coup’ by relieving them both of their name tags Velcro’ed on their flight suits. These name tags were then sewn onto the sleeve of the Swimmer’s flight jacket, a place of honor. Not every swimmer gets a rescue, and a two-fer is indeed worthy of note.
Gotta raise the BS flag on the use of the term “accidentally” there, HMC Ret.
The downing was not accidental. Dorsey intentionally shot down that USAF aircraft. He admitted as much during the post-incident investigation. His justification, as you stated above, was that he “was just following orders” – e.g., following the standing ROE. He never accepted responsibility for the incident.
Dorsey IMO should have been court-martialed. IMO only the fact that his dad was an Admiral saved him from that.
In a rare instance of Congress doing the right thing, 25+ years later a Senate committee refused to recommend Dorsey’s later appointment to RADM. To my knowledge, he retired as a CAPT – and IMO that was far more than he deserved.

Dave, if it makes you feel any better, i had a guy yesterday call me a dick, while waiting in line at the atm yesterday. i needed cash to get a pizza and this guy was on the phone and not moving from the drive up window so i puled up in the empty lane, got out of my truck and proceed to get my cash. as i am walking back to my truck this fat slob of a guy says to me i tried to wave you through but you weren’t looking at me ya’ dick at which point i did a proper Right oblique ball of heel pivot and told the fat man to call me a dick again to my face, his first comment was “Are you gonna hit me?” i told him if he called me a dick a gain he would sure find out. after he peed his pants a little i thought about it a lil and realized that if i didn’t pick up the pizza i had ordered that they would never let me buy again at the green hiss cafe so i told him to loose some weight and to stop being such a pussy and went back to my truck and the best damn pizza you will have outside of NYC.
I guess Dave the lesson i am trying to impart to you here is just this; When people are assholes because they just can’t help it, eat some pizza and forget about it knowing that their lives are miserable and you have a pie with home made sausage, back=on and mushrooms all to be washed down with the beverage of your choice…. I do not often offer my sage advice to people, but for you i will be today
Walking into an ER at a hospital to check on a loved one a few weeks ago, a van taxi beeped three times as he looked for his ride from behind the wheel. The passenger window was open and I turned, looked at the phat phuk and said, “Lay off the horn phat phuk. This is a hospital.” He gave me the finger BUT he did no beep again and pulled off immediately thereafter, w/o a fare. The lesson is…there is no lesson..just a story.
Awww, yeah. Pizza…and I want it NOW!
I can only wonder if Caragh Fay says Fuck you to everybody or am I special?
People say things like that to me all the time but they are usually guilty of something. Makes me wonder if she is lazy or just stupid…or both.
I can use all the advice I can get. S/F
Okay, okay! I can take a hint. You want sausage, biscuits and gravy for breakfast. I will get that going. Take a chill pill or something.
And you don’t want my coffee because it is so bad, it can eat holes in anything it touches, including your mind.
….never get no respect….
Great job keeping TAH buzzing along everybody. Dave, Maybe your’re not particularly special. Take a look at Caragh Fay’s affinity for ACTBLUE and the; AMERICAN ASSOCIATION FOR JUSTICE POLITICAL ACTION COMMITTEE…
https://www.campaignmoney.com/political/contributions/caragh-fay.asp?cycle=16
Bet she wears one of those cunt caps?!
You da man, Dave Hardin.
Dave, you and the team have our respect, appreciation, and thanks.
I also cook.
I, too, add my deep gratitude to Dave, EX-PH2 and AW1Ed and others who continue to keep this site and Jonn’s memory alive. You work does not go unnoticed or unappreciated. As for that TSO guy, well…..
Thanks to all of you who keep TAH afloat.
Lizzie warren is a battle axe
she gave old chucky 40 faps
when she saw what she had done
she gave old Bernie 41
Definitely a successful “Combined Arms/Combined Services” operation.
Keep up the great work, Gang –
Dave, you and crew ROCK! This site helps me keep my stuff in one sock when the folks in the state agency I work for send out things like “Diversity and Inclusion Surveys…”.
The mission is being successfully conducted in the absence of the leader. Jonn left the organization (I almost squadron, that’s a CAVALRY squadron by the way) in good hands.
So hey back to the above mentioned survey…anyone know what the hell a “micro-aggression” is?
You are all great folks!
Dinotanker
A “micro-aggression” is something that only pisses you off a little.
Dave, do not piss of the Ex. She has a fry pan and is not afraid to use it. Plus the attack cats are not registered. You and the whole gang at TAH can never know how much you are all loved and appreciated by all of us deplorable dickweeds. We don’t have the vocabulary and spelling ability to express ourselves. Back in the day when I was just a lurking, going a day or two without dropping by was painful. Losing Jonn like we did was a big shock, and a wake up call to us all. I was drug, kicking and screaming, into the 21th Century, learning all this inner webbie stuff. Being without my TAH for the last coupla weeks was pure DT withdrawal cold turkey. Now that I haveth me a brand new H/P Cloud based Chrome Bookie thingie, it will take a little while to get caught back up. Y’all keep up the good work, subject matter be damned. We all like the menu fare here, including recipes and kitty cat stories. You and the other boys and girls did Jonn very proud by stepping into the breach, taking up the colors, and marching to the sound of the guns. We gottcha back jack, and rest assurance to the Soviet, anything happens to you, or She just gets sick and tired of waking up sick and tired; the line of volunteers that forms to comfort Her will stretch from here past eternity. We will fight till hell freezes over and then fight on the ice. For who y’all are, what y’all do, and what y’all mean to us. Our Thanks and Salute!
Dave, you might (or might not) be an asshole, but dang it, you are our asshole. Keep up the good work. For EX, AW1Ed, Hondo, TSO, Poetrooper, and all the rest, many thanks also. I’m certain Jonn is smiling down on you and shaking his head at the rest of us dickweeds, just like always.
Respect By Another Name
I don’t think much of this Caragh Fay lady, and I use the term ‘lady’ very loosely.
I’ve seen this before with others, and from her short response to you, she fits into an established pattern.
As an aside, I did not see the conversation in context, so Dave could have asked her to use ‘Asshole’ and ‘Fuck You’ in as few sentences as possible.
Assuming that was not the case…
This is commonly seen when people realize themselves that they do not command much respect. So, what they do is create what I call “Psuedo-Respect.” So, they fly off the handle, calling people names, and frequently throw things against the wall.
It is kind of like signaling to everybody that “I’m crazy, irrational and prone to unpredictable behavior.” Oddly enough, it actually works because people give them a wide path. Unfortunately, it is a substitute narcotic for real respect. Not because they fear them, per se, but more in the sense that people just don’t want to deal with them and take the path of least resistance.
The shame of this is that this type of personality never truly connects with what it is to earn and have TRUE respect. The kind of respect where people stop talking and want to listen to what you have to say.
Sorry to be so late but just want to add my thinks to all you folks who keep TAH goin’.
