Weekend Open Thread
Guinea fowl as a natural snake repellent. (Phonedojo/Imjur)
Photoshop or the real deal? Guinea fowls would group together to pressure a snake to leave their area. In the above picture, it doesn’t appear that the snake has an escape route. Maybe one opened up after this photo was taken. I remember seeing a documentary where small mammals did the same thing to a snake.
Enjoy your weekend.

You get the crown again, my friend!!! I defer to you with all due respect and reverence!
D’oh!
Shit, I was browsing the Reply to wingman68 in Peace Talks in Afghanistan Post and then went to the Peace Talks in Afghanistan Post to see what the ruckus was all about and I didn’t realize it was time to try to screw 5th/77th FA
Well lookie who ultimately gets bent over for not paying attention.
Oh well, just another day in the barrel.
Congrats 5th/77th FA.
And a onea and a two a and a threea….
The clock starts over I believe.
Ranks Mates! The struggle was for sure real today wasn’t even thinking I’d be around for the WOT. Little wobbly today and had to make a provision run to the K Roger. Literally had just got back, unloaded the skateboard, put the cold stuff away, and opened up the Chromie. Whomp, there it was. I know how that snake feels, cause that’s what the fight for FIRST is all about, surrounded by floggers of the key of F5.
Gots me some deals to the K Roger tho, Smithfield Hams for .99 a lb and 93/7% grounded beef beast round for 2.99 a lb. Had some ground chuck for the same. 3 of them 12 pounder Smithfields and 16 pounds of the of the beef beast. Gonna start a crockett pot of veggie beef beast soup, and prolly back one of them 12 pounders overnight. Cold weather coming back after this weekend.
Gotta play catch up on the other threads and see what I missed.
BTW, tho Epstein didn’t kill hisself and bernasty did kill hisself they are both still maintaining a minus 6 feet AGL and, hopefully, rotting in hell as Satan devours their worthless souls.
ps…I think that cobra headed rattle moccasin escaped from my final ex wife’s head.
For the record, Daniel Bernath did not kill himself (suicide). The National Transportation Safety Board ruled his death self-murder.
And you did not say “over”.
Over.
Once again we bow to our leader for the week!
We await your humble orders!
Happy weekend to all my friends!
They just moved up my surgery to Feb. 5th!!
Wish me luck??
Good luck Wilted Willy. I remember when I had to go through surgery though mine was for a skin graft.
I wish you the best of luck!
Thanks so much guys, I don’t think it will be a lot of fun to lose a kidney??
We’ll note that in our prayers, WW.
Best to you WW.
Prayers your way.
Cong Rats to you, 5th/77th FA!
First!
Doh! D’oh!
January 22 marks the two year anniversary of America losing one her greatest treasures, (Not) An Honorary Chief Petty Officer, (not) a lawyer in good standing with the California Bar Association, (not) a distinguished veteran loved and admired by the military community, Daniel Bernath. What can you say about a man with universal appeal, that being despised throughout the universe to include but not limited to Earth, Saturn, Pluto, and of course Uranus? Some of us are richer for knowing him, I’m looking at you Seavey, and the rest of us can take comfort in knowing that Daniel Bernath left this world the way he came in, screaming incoherently and unable to control his bladder. So, take a moment this coming Wednesday, look up to the sky, and say to yourself “But for the grace of God, that could have been me at the defendant’s table in his frivolous lawsuit.” And look fondly back on the lasting impression that Daniel Bernath’s left, that being the impression of a Van’s Aircraft RV-12 north of Bonita Beach Road Southeast.
P.S. Over, over.
P.S.S. It goes without saying that Hack Stone declares Honorary First Post on The Weekend Open Thread.
Over, over.
Don’t mince words, Hack … what do you *really* think?
Not to toot my own horn, but I believe that this is always necessary when bowing our heads in remembrance…
Hack found this article this morning on Al Gore’s Amazing Internet:
https://www.naplesnews.com/story/news/local/2018/01/31/bonita-springs-fatal-plane-crash-ntsb-report-lists-mayday-mayday-final-words/1083156001/
“The report lists flight data, plane details, a description of the crash as well as the location of the crash and information on Bernath’s pilot qualifications.” Hack has it on good authority that under pilot qualifications the investigator wrote “WTF?!!”
Also left out of the article is after Pilot Bernath broadcast “Mayday! Mayday!”, the tower responded with “You forgot to say “over”, over.”
There once was a lawer named Dan,
Who got himself thrown in the can,
He was finally let out,
And went flying about,
And that’s when the shit hit the fan!
Nope…still not tired of my limerick. And I will post it pretty much any time Dan Dan The Plane Crashing Man’s name is mentioned. *Spit*
OVER!
I’m guessing that the QuEeFiNgPuRpLeSuItEdAsScLoWn will be crying all weekend long…
it’s been that long already? wow. Has the crash investigation been concluded yet? I know they can take awhile.
This is the first time that The National Transportation Safety Board listed a cause of accident as “Pompous Asshole”.
In a related development, word in the entertainment industry is that Weird Al Yankovic is reworking the lyrics to American Pie with the line “This is the day that douchebag died”.
BUT are you sure that it wasn’t listed as “The day the douchebag nosedived”?
Being that I am the holder of the most Honorary Firsts here, I officially once again award you Secondary Honorary First with Honorary Honors. And like many others, I miss the late kingpin of the Dutch Rudder Gang less than I do the last toothache that I had.

Passing the WOT First crown to 5th/77th FA for the week, I humbly submit this week’s trivia silliness. May all my Weed and Weedette friends enjoy! DID YOU KNOW…? Did the world almost come to an end in 1983? By Commissioner Wretched There’s something special about January. With an almost totally unmarked calendar ahead of us, we can enjoy looking ahead, wondering what good things will be approaching. The days will be getting longer, slowly but surely, and the weather will be getting more seasonably appropriate. It may not feel like that right now, but trust me, it will happen. If it doesn’t, we’ve entered the Twilight Zone. If you want to accomplish anything special this year, now’s the time to plan for it, while the rest of the calendar sits before you. As we say around the office, “Plan your work, then work your plan!” (I’m not sure why we say it, but we do.) I plan to spend as much of the calendar as I can putting together trivia, just for you! Here’s this week’s serving. Did you know … … the old standard of “one dog year equals seven human years” is all wrong? Animal scientists tell us that the first two years of a dog’s life are equal to 24 human years. The next three dog years are about ten human years each; after that, it settles into the average of one dog year being the same as six or seven human years. (By that reckoning, a dog can retire at age seven. Great work if you can get it.) … bacon is not naturally salty? Pork contains some sodium, as does any meat. But the curing and brining process is what gives bacon its salty flavor. (And it’s the frying that makes it tasty!) … all people with blue eyes may be related? Research in Denmark of blue-eyed people in Scandinavia, Turkey, Jordan and India discovered that they all had the identical gene for eye color. The believe this trait comes from one individual between 6,000 and 10,000 years ago, making all blue-eyed people distantly… Read more »
Today marks the 100th anniversary of the start of prohibition (Volstead Act). Haven’t had an alcoholic beverage in months, but I guess a bottle of Seagrams wine cooler & a can of Yuengling won’t hurt w/ my steak tonight.
So, you’re saying that a Soviet officer – LtCol Stanislav Petrov – saved the world on 26 September 1983?
Yes, indeed he did.
Bacon. You had to mention “bacon”, didn’t you, Commish? I blame you for stirring up my need for bacon since I didn’t cook any this morning.
Let’s see, I have 12-grain bread, mayo, lettuce, some very red and tender tomatoes on the vine, bacon and pickles. All I need is a frying pan. I blame the Commish for this part, too.
Mea culpa, Ex … mea maxima culpa. I can help you dispose of the bacon if you want.

Jonn Lilyea was there. Hooah!
We now return you to your regular programming.
Steve, check your math. I think that’s 29 years ago./s
Oh God. You’re right. That means I’m 10 years older than I thought!
Uhm. Well. Sure. And several others were also there. Some of us were there when Desert Shield returned a bit later as well. It was Desert Shield followed by Desert Storm followed by Desert Shield again.
Or something.
UMPTEENTH and Honorary First once again.

President Johnson was impeached, most people don’t know why. However, with the impeachment of President Trump, the Democrats guaranteed that he would be remembered… In a good way. Even those in the future, not familiar with history, would read up on why he was impeached and find out the good work he is doing. Here is Mark Dice”s humorous take on it:

Iraqi SWAT in Mosul has captured the biggest fukkin ISIS terrorist leader in the world, and by “biggest” I mean that literally. The HVT’s name is Abu Abdul Bari, but is known in the region as “Jabba the Hutt. The porker weighs 650 lbs, and is a vicious terrorist murderer of numerous civilians and rapist of untold hundreds of women. The Iraqi troops had to put him in the bed of the police truck because he couldn’t fit in the cab. A murderous vicious fat fuck…

They ought to put him on a water diet until he is down to 125 lbs. while they blow the scent from the kitchen through his cell.
Then hang him from his nuts over a pen of hungry pigs.
About Guineas and snakes… absolutely true. I killed hundreds of water moccasins on my ranch in Arkansas, at least 500, but never had a problem with them around the house.
Between a flock of turkeys, geese, guineas, ducks and about 100 feral cats I cannot recall finding even 10 snakes, a couple of copperheads but mostly black snakes, blue racers and some very pretty vine snakes.

The last time I was in California was in the winter of ’89/’90.
Wow,had this site gone to hell…
Saw you in moderation mode. I decided to approve your message so that your post could serve as a freak show.
Any suggestions on how we could “leave Hell”? Or, are you going to just act like somebody who has gone to s(beep)?
Maybe he’s calling us “a bunch of dopes and babies”?
I’d consider that a compliment considering that we use terms like “fuck face”, “shit head,” “asshole”, “fucker”, etc. as terms of endearment for each other in the military… At least in the combat arms MOSs.
Well then don’t come here, stick to DU and the other sites that offer free group hugs, Kool-Aid and participation trophies!

DNC Superdelegates.
Well gee whiz! I wonder how long they’re going to loot and riot first? A number of Antifa pukes are already getting their asses handed to them.
I think that is a terrific plan for all progs. If their fave candidate is not on the ballot, they should stay home, especially for the general election. That is what I call a real indicator of personal integrity. It will be a shining example that they have the courage of their convictions. Then after Trump is reelected, they can leave the country, like they have repeatedly threatened and promised.
Sandernistas go home.
As much as we’d like them to stay home, many of them are going to rally behind the eventual Democrat nominee.
I can picture this… President Trump wins reelection. They announce that. We see the long faces and tears coming down the cheeks at Democrat locations. Except, in the background, we hear a loud screech followed by wailing.
I don’t know if this would actually happen should this play out, but I would not be surprised if it did.
I told you all there was a coverup in progress
The Clinton investigation is quietly being ended
With one unnamed source saying the order came

The mark of the beast is a reference to permanent marks that people put on themselves as a way of identifying themselves as belonging to specific deities.
In the New Testament, “666”, was a reference to Nero. He was seen by some groups as “divine”, or referenced as such. The writer of the New Testament was using this as an insult, knowing that the audience would as well, as they didn’t see Nero as being divine. Having such a mark would be a violation of Mosaic law.
In the above link’s case, “the beast” would be the God of greed, and the “mark of the beast” would be the use of the handprint as mentioned in the link.

Ole Ralphie Boy is trying to hide that it was HE behind that White Hood.
KUDOs to our Ex-PH2 for posting articles on him. Ex-PH2 has NAILED IT TO A T about Doofus Head.
BTW, Ex: I made a mistake. Ole Ralphie Boy was a Child Neurologist, not Neurosurgeon. That is what he did in his short time in the US Army and he did have one time a Practice in the Hampton Roads, Virginia area.
Will research as to why he ran and served as a LT Gov before being elected Gov, but I do know this: That Doofus LIED to the Public and told folks he was a Gulf War Veteran who treated Soldiers with Mass Head Wound injuries, when in reality, he spent time at Lanstuhl Hospital in Germany treating Dependent Military Children.
If he is a Gulf War Veteran, then ALL of us who served in the Military in 1990 are Gulf War Veterans. He has insulted those who were actual there in the Sandbox, i.e. Jonn L., marinecorpsdad and OWB.
He is just as bad as Ole Les Brown in lying about the Gulf War. No, I take that back. Ole Ralphie Boy is WORSE than Les Brown.

ninja, thebesig gots no worries from me on this one. He was just posting a skewed survey that doesn’t really mean or make a Continental. No harm no foul. *grin* Read that survey yesterday and expressed mirth at a high decibel level. I don’t know who they were surveying, but they dang sure didn’t get the average working Southerner. The operative word being working. I never answer any surveys at all, even if they do bother to ask me. And I’m sure that this survey did not include ranking fishing or hunting in the questions. We all know about the “lies, damn lies, and statistics.” Lately my main exercise program is dodging responsibility, chasing rumors, lifting weights 12 oz at a time, and keeping my cast iron cookware working. And you can be assured that when this survey was done, nat a single hippie dippy Colorado brownie muncher could have kept up with me or out line crews. I have kept a low profile on the whole VA thing. Northam is an asinine idiot that is in no way an honorable person that is typical of a Son of Virginia. No matter anyone’s personal feelings on the War Between The States, Robert E. Lee was the very best overall Military Tactician and Army Commander that the world had ever seen, before, during, and after. When you look at what he accomplished with his very limited resources, the Army of Northern Virginia was 2nd to none. Grant won strictly by wearing him down thru a war of attrition and logistics. Grant’s unlimited supply of manpower thru the immigrants coming straight off the boat into the ranks of the Army of the Potomac could not be matched. Bobbie Lee’s tactics were and if I read correctly, are still being taught to the students at The Hudson River School for Wayward Children. Here we are at the anniversary of Desert Storm where the overall plan that The Bear used was straight out of Lee’s Chancellorsville Campaign. If Jackson had not of been hit that night, Joe Hooker would have found himself in the… Read more »

Happy Birthday, General Robert E. Lee, West Point Graduate.
Ole Ralphie Boy is a PHONY STOLEN VALOR MORON!
“…stunt…” yep good choice of ^word^. Did ja notice he demurred on an opinion of the Byrd Statue proposed legislation. Fred Astaire wished he had that many dance steps. Neither Gnrl Lee or Jackson owned any slaves and Jackson even broke the law in providing education for the slaves in his hometown, built a church, and tithed to the church even past his death. Northam is a backstabbing, pandering, embellishing son of a bitch. He is a looter and a pillager. He is the worst enemy the people of Virginia has seen.
I thought the same thing about the survey. The first thing that came to mind was wanting to see the methodology and the questions. There are a lot of surveys out there trying to paint conservatives, and conservative areas, in a negative light.
I have nothing against any particular state, I just will present information.
The South had many things going against them during the Civil War. As for bringing immigrants into the front line, many Canadians and Mexicans joined in the fight on both sides. In fact, when it came to getting volunteers from within the state, both sides had to turn people away.
The Union had some good generals as well. There was also the ingenuity/know-how, experience, of the individual fighting men on both sides.
However, given variables such as the resources that the North had relative to the South, it was inevitable that the North was going to win. One of the good things that came from this is that the infrastructure that existed in the north, as well as the industry, pushed south bringing the southern states in line with the northern states. This was to serve us well during the Indian Wars and during the Spanish-American war.
As for the war on terror, this is something that we would still have regardless of what Bush Senior had decided. We are dealing with an entity that wants to establish global radical Islamic law. This war has been going on since Muslim forces pushed out of the Arabian Peninsula during the first part of the Medieval Period. We simply responded to it… For the second time. The first time is what we know as the Barbary Wars.

I was kidding you when I said KoB was gonna come after you.

Thank You for the information on the Civil War. Always good to learn from others.
Another meaningless bit of nonsense. How active one is away from work just might depend upon what one does at work, AND how healthy it might be to be active instead of resting up to return to work.
For instance – how active would a sane person expect an aerobics instructor to be away from work?
If space travel is going to “explode” the way maritime exploration did before the colonial period, it’s going to be done in the hands of corporate ventures.

There is a cheaper alternative. These individuals, who want a socialist utopia, could pick a country that comes close to their definition of a socialist utopia. If these countries are not doing it properly, perhaps our socialists can show them how to do it properly.

“Virginia Delegate Presents Bill To Fine People For Releasing Balloons”
https://wtkr.com/2020/01/17/virginia-delegate-presents-bill-to-fine-people-for-releasing-balloons/
“Releasing balloons into the air during celebrations and memorials has been a tradition in our region and across the country.”
“Delegate Nancy Guy is working to pass a bill that would fine people for doing this.”
“Under the bill, releasing balloons could cost you a fine between $250 – $25,000.”
“Experts said the days following Mother’s Day, graduations and other celebrations there is a lot of plastic that washes up on the shore.”
“The US Fish and Wildlife Service said when balloons wind up released into the air they pose a threat to animals. The problem is that birds, turtles and other animals think balloons in the ocean are food. It can harm or kill them.”
“But some people think a bill banning balloons from being released is excessive and unnecessary. Under the proposed bill, a person could be required to do community service instead of having to pay money.”
“Under current law, people are not allowed to release 50 or more balloons within an hour, and the civil penalty is $5 a balloon.”

One of the things I tell people is to look to places like California to see what could happen if they keep voting Democrat across multiple elections.
Man, the left is just hell bent on trying to rig the game in their favor. https://www.dailywire.com/news/harvard-releases-proposal-to-divide-washington-d-c-into-127-new-states-to-eliminate-electoral-college
They will NEVER cease coming up with schemes to rig elections in their favor.
They conveniently selected a leftist area. I wonder if they would support that recommendation if a heavily Republican area was to be divided into 127 new states to eliminate the electoral college.
They are just concocting ways to yank power into their hands.
Whoever wrote that article doesn’t get the concept of our Republic, and the fact that it is the states that choose the president, not the people. The presidential election is 51 different contests and not a single one. The national popular vote is meaningless in a presidential election.
It looks like our founding fathers had a better understanding of human nature than many of these individuals who identify as “progressives”.
I will say it again.
Ole Ralphie Boy of Virginia who posed as a KKK Dude in his Yearbook picture LIED to the Folks in Virginia about his Military Service during the Gulf War:
https://www.redstate.com/streiff/2017/11/06/virginia-democrat-ralph-northam-lying-military-experience/
He is literally a Gomer Pyle and a Doofus.
I predict that Doofus will start a Civil War. He is as bad as Obama in dividing our nation.
I watched a clip of his wife telling him what to do and not say. Gomer Pyle was a charming genius compared to Coon Man Northam. He puts the oof in doofus.
If Northam was any good as a Physician then why the hell did he go into politics?
API: Perhaps he wasn’t a great Doctor at all.
Doofus is also a VMI Graduate. He is pushing to remove General Robert E. Lee’s Statue from Richmond, VA, but is keeping quiet about General Stonewall Jackson’s Statue at VMI.
I repeat: Ole Ralphie Boy is doing everything he can to hide the fact he was wearing a White Hood in his Yearbook picture. It’s called Distraction.

This was posted about a month ago. Makes one wonder who influenced these two Knuckleheads: 😉😎😆 “Former Haverford College Students Sentenced for Attempting to Access President Trump’s Tax Returns”: https://www.justice.gov/usao-edpa/pr/former-haverford-college-students-sentenced-attempting-access-president-trump-s-tax “…Justin Hiemstra, 22, of St. Paul Park, Minnesota, and Andrew Harris, 23, of Philadelphia, Pennsylvania were both sentenced today to two years’ probation and 200 hours of community service by United States District Judge Cynthia M. Rufe. In August 2019, Hiemstra pled guilty to using a school computer and someone else’s username without that person’s permission in an attempt to illegally obtain then-Presidential candidate Donald Trump’s tax returns from the Internal Revenue Service. Harris pled guilty to the same charges in September 2019.” “These charges arose out of a plot between the defendants, then students at Haverford College, to use computers at the school’s computer lab and the Free Application for Student Aid (FAFSA) website to illegally access the tax returns. Hiemstra and Harris opened a false FAFSA application in the name of a member of the Trump family and found that someone else had already obtained a username and password for Donald Trump. In order to reset the password, the defendants were prompted to answer challenge questions, which the original person had created when setting up the account. The defendants were able to answer the questions and reset the password. They then used the President’s personal identifying information, including his social security number and date of birth, to attempt to import the President’s federal tax information into the bogus FAFSA application. Ultimately, this illegal attempt failed.” “Hiemstra and Harris thought they could manipulate and outsmart the FAFSA application process in order to obtain Donald Trump’s tax returns for their own purposes. As it turns out, that was not such a smart move: they committed a serious violation of privacy rights and a federal crime in the process,” said U.S. Attorney McSwain. “Now they have both been held accountable. And those who complete the FAFSA application, please take note: this Office takes these kinds of cybersecurity breaches seriously and we are doing everything we can to keep your personal information… Read more »
It’s so confusing in OWB land.
It’s winter, right? But global warming is supposed to have us all cozy as we await Armageddon – elevated heat and all.
Oh, wait, it’s not warming, it’s climate change. Like it’s sometimes warm and sometimes chilly? And so far this winter it has sometimes been warmish and sometimes coldish ’round here. As one would expect in winter.
Is there a climate change alarmist out there who can explain just what it is that I am supposed to be concerned about? Not seeing it here. It’s winter. I need a coat when I go outside. Sometimes a pretty heavy coat. Sometimes a lighter weight will do. Depending upon what sort of precip has befallen us, maybe a change in foot ware.
How is this different from what I did 50 years ago, and every year between then and now?
*Sigh*
Sometimes I just don’t get it.
Possibly another Individual going to his Grave that somehow convinced his Family that he was a Vietnam POW or his Family made up the story:
https://www.burroughsfh.com/notices/Louis-Perretta
Louis Perretta of Murrells Inlet, SC, is not on the Official List:
https://www.dpaa.mil/portals/85/Documents/VietnamAccounting/pmsea_returnee.pdf
What I also don’t understand is if Louis Perratta, US Navy, escaped from Vietnam after being held for a year as a POW, then why did he spend a year in a GERMAN Hospital (according to his Obituary).
Here is a portion of his Obit:
“Louis Perretta, 75, of Murrells Inlet, SC, died Thursday, January 16. 2020 at Tidelands Waccamaw Community Hospital.”
“Louis was born in Brooklyn, NY on February 9, 1944.”
“Louis served his country in the United States Navy during the Vietnam War. While serving, he was captured as a POW for one year. After escaping, he spent one year in a German hospital.”
“A mass will be held on Wednesday, January 22, 2020 at 10:00 AM at St. Michael Catholic Church, 542 Cypress Ave, Murrells Inlet, SC 29576.”
Hope he wasn’t one of those Veterans who are or were illegally obtaining VA Disability by claiming to be a Vietnam POW.
(Claw: I saw your comment about the 1st SEAC “Cricket”Gainey and Ole Mikey Boy. Those two will never admit they were wrong. It’s called Narcissism. *smile*).
Here is the Official List of those who escaped from Vietnam.
Louis Perretta is not on the list.

One last question:
Will the House now begin impeachment proceedings against itself and every member of it’s body for exactly the same “charges” it is leveling against POTUS? After all, it is trying to influence the 2020 election AND obstructed justice by failing to follow procedures to get any witnesses they wanted forced by a court to answer subpoenas.
Inquiring minds want to know.

Hack Stone just came across this video on Youtube. Second City Television was always funnier than Saturday Night Live. It made Hack laugh, hope it makes you laugh.
I’ve said it once and I’ll say it again:
Ole Ralphie Boy is fixin to start the 2nd Civil War:
“Virginia Braces For Gun Rights Rally As Worries Over Violence Hate Groups and Militias Grow”:
https://www.foxnews.com/us/virginia-braces-for-gun-rights-rally-as-worries-over-violence-hate-groups-and-militias-grow
The politicians started the FIRST War Between The States. (Officially known as the War of The Rebellion) Check out the US Government published 144 Volume tome titled Official Records of the War of The Rebellion.
Ralphie IS trying to start a true Civil War where he is pitting two segments of the population against one another. His useful idiots do not realize that they are being used by him and his ilk to suppress even more of the freedoms that we have. My ninjas that are up there now are already reporting on busloads of antifa folks wearing MAGA hats and carrying pro gun signage. The plan is to infiltrate the peaceful pro 2A groups and “attack” the other pro gun control groups to make it appear as if the 2A people “started it.”
I’ll get around to replying to thebesig’s comment above, eventually if not sooner. Got a pot of homemade veggie beef beast soup working with a skillet of buttered milk cornbread. His facts are a little skewed.
