Weekend Open Thread
In the United States, people have an equal opportunity to succeed. Whether they succeed or not depends on the decisions they make throughout their lives. (r/The_Donald)
The Primaries are around the corner and with them the acceleration of the presidential campaign. Many of these memes should be flying around on social media. A short message combined with a graphic is a quick and efficient way to spread information. If you are good at making memes, your efforts are needed. Have a good weekend.
Category: Open thread
1st
We need to send this to the booth for review. It must be due to Russian meddling.
No question on who was FIRST (again) for the Coveted TAH Weekend Open Thread FIRST! The King of Battle, taking his inspiration from the post of evening last celebrating the Birth of the Saintly John Moses Browning (Howitzer be his name). By the time stamp the next closest was a full shake of a gnats hair. There is no try, only do. There will be baked ham stuffed catheads, coldbeers and Irish Rye Whiskey for all hands.
I did not have seegar with that woman and Epstein did not kill himself.
Yea, that’s the ticket, the commies. We need a warrant.
first
ah well, coming in second to someone who really tries for this shit ain’t bad…. te salutant!
Segundo!
Hack Stone claims second.
Fourth !!!
Please accept this crown of the Honorable TAH WOT Lord of the Dickweeds and Lord over all of us Dickweeds as we so deserve !!!!
PS…..
Epstein still didn’t kill himself……
Somebody’s nine year-old kid found a live grenade (with no spoon) while magnet fishing. Which one of y’all tried to cheat at fishing? See https://www.cbs17.com/news/local-news/boy-finds-live-grenade-while-magnetic-fishing-in-moore-county/.
What could he possibly be using for bait ????
A Marine ???
How does a grenade with no spoon not explode? Bad fuse?
Perhaps the spoon corroded away. Ouch.
The striker spring may have been broken, the primer a dud, the fuse missing or defective, the detonator a dud, etc.
Or, it may have been an inert training version.
6th?
King of Battle rules again! Congrats to my man 5th/77th FA … build to that five-peat! Instead of being first, I’ll submit this week’s trivia column for those of you who enjoy it. (It’s also here for those who don’t.) DID YOU KNOW…? Was there a person known as “Dracula” who actually existed? By Commissioner Wretched Cold winter days call for warm winter beverages, don’t they? Seriously, you cannot beat a warm, steaming mug of hot chocolate on a chilly January morning. The only beverage that comes close is a mug of hot coffee, and that is a poor second choice, if you ask me. I think my love of hot chocolate goes all the way back to early childhood. As a little boy, I was somewhat rambunctious, as young boys will be, and Mom quickly figured out that a mug of hot cocoa on a cold morning would quiet me down, so I could watch the morning cartoon show while getting ready for school. (Kids today know nothing about local cartoon shows on TV. Their loss, in my opinion.) Of course, the sugar in the cocoa would kick in about halfway to school (we walked in my neighborhood) and my poor teachers would have to put up with me from then on, but hey – Mom knew what she was doing. I really owe my elementary school teachers an apology for the way I used to behave. And maybe to you as well, since I now channel that hot-chocolate-fired energy into the weekly trivia column, which I proudly present to you at this time! Did you know … … it is illegal to fire a missile from your home without a permit in South Carolina? (That doesn’t begin to address how hard it is to get a missile to your home in South Carolina so you can fire it later.) … the three most common fears of people are spiders, people and social situations, and flying? (So I suppose that the worst fear of all is flying with people and spiders.) … the War of 1812 was totally unnecessary?… Read more »
Bela was a successful Broadway actor who had been playing Dracula on Broadway, so he was a natural for the movie. The one to pity is Richard Pratt, a tall cadaverous-faced extra who got a key role – but due to Lugosi’s fame they decided his American name was too prosaic, and named him Boris Karloff, which he was known by till he died.

Hack Stone was on the rifle range at Camp Pendleton way back in the mid 1990’s, and we are down in the pit pulling targets. The guy pulling the target next to Hack says “I’m really tired today. I stayed up late watching Interview With A Vampire.” So, Hack asked him “Did he get the job?” True story.
I believe it was the therapods that had the feathered dinosaurs among them. Most of the other kinds of dinosaurs aren’t associated with feathers.
Here’s a video that shows an approximation of what the velociraptor would’ve looked and sounded like.
So, did T-Rex taste like chicken? Made extinct by a prehistoric Kentucky Colonel, a Sailor from New Orleans, and a Church full of Baptist Preachers? Now we know.
I read an article one time that said that the chicken was the closest living relative to the Tyrannosaurus Rex. There’s a good chance that it, and other two-legged dinosaurs, could’ve tasted like chicken or other fowl.
There was a series, Terra Nova, that showed a few years ago. People went back in time to live in a colony that existed when the dinosaurs were still around.
If something like this were to happen for real, a dinosaur could serve as a substitute for the Thanksgiving turkey/goose. Then they’d also have dinosaur egg omelette made from the largest dinosaur eggs.
What the T-Rex may have looked like:
Vlad Dracul was very good at impaling people. First he would make them work on his castle and worked them in rags and even naked against the cold inthe Romanian Winter, then he would bring them to the castle where either he or one of his staff impalers would carefully insert the spear into the rectum or vagina and carefully thread it until it came out through the collarbone without killing the prisoner. He would also gag the prisoner so it didn’t interfere with the next part of the torture.
He then would enjoy large sumptuous meals while watching them die which could sometimes take days depending on which vein or artery was punctured.
Vlad relished in his methods of torture and was known to drink the blood of his “guests of honor” as he watched them die a slow, exceedingly painful death…..
And the Japanese thought they were badass…
This is what’s left of the brain of a guy that has been reading history for the better part of his lifetime !!!
I know more about nothing than anyone knows about everything…..
I have been studying the methods of our deaths that we are likely to see as our own level of doom continues to creep upon us !!!!
We are sooooooooo doomed…..
DOOOOOMED I say !!!!
REPENT, REPENT OH YE OF LITTLE FAITH !!!!!
IF YE WILL MEET YOUR DOOM BEFORE YE HAVE PERFORMED THE REQUISITE PENANCE SHALL YE REAP THE WHIRLWIND OF THE DOOM OF THINE OWN SEEDING !!!!!
Doomed I say !!!
Just came here to see 5th/77th FA do the Friday WOT dance.

For the information of all hands at TAH, here’s Lawn Dart Danny’s National Transportation Safety Board Aviation Accident Factual Report for his fatal aircraft crash:
https://app.ntsb.gov/pdfgenerator/ReportGeneratorFile.ashx?EventID=20180122X32841&AKey=1&RType=Final&IType=FA
According to the report, the causal factor for the crash was aircraft structural failure (the left wing tore off when he exceeded Vne airspeed of 136kts during his dive towards the ground).
One of my additional MOS’s was Aviation Safety Officer, and we received training in aircraft mishap investigation at the Naval Postgraduate School. After reading the factual data and sequence of events contained in the linked report, it appears that Lawn Dart Danny most likely ran out of fuel in flight, and then departed controlled flight and dove into the ground after his left wing came off.
It’s significant to note that investigators found no remaining fuel in the aircraft’s fuel system, and there was no post-crash fire.
So the question remains: did Lawn Dart Danny intentionally try to set this crash up to look like an accident, or was he just a shitty pilot who bungled his procedures when his engine quit due to fuel starvation?
We’ll probably never know.
Or give a shit, for that matter.
Oh well, he’s too dead to sue that Airplane’s manufacturer!
Always loved that term “departed controlled flight”. Translation: fell outta the sky.
AND DANIEL BERNATH IS STILL DEAD!!!
…”“you have to say ((OVER)) after I speak” …”
I still think he gave up the ghost as he realized he was out of moves in the game of life.
He chose the chickenshit way out, at least he took no other souls along with his own self tortured soul…
A lifetime of behavior of the sort he is guilty of takes a toll on anyone’s soul.
He was not immune.
Well….
Buhye……
did Lawn Dart Danny intentionally try to set this crash up to look like an accident, or was he just a shitty pilot
Uh, yes?
Despite the fact that it’s the ’20s, Dennis Howard Chevalier, a.k.a. Denny H Chevalier, phony Gulf War veteran, phony veteran, phony C-130 compass call pilot, phony SWAT veteran, phony retired USAF Lieutenant Colonel… That Dennis Howard Chevalier… Still was arrested on February 27, 2018, for aggravated assault with a deadly weapon.
He pointed a gun at his ex-wife and son, waved a loaded weapon around and pretended to shoot things, threatened an ex-fiancé with putting a round into her head, and then his arrest for aggravated assault with a deadly weapon.
One of these days, he’s going to point his gun at someone, like he has done before… And BHANG! They need to take this guy’s weapons away before he shoots someone.
Here is one link to one the details:

Thaaaaaat’s what you get for shitting around too much, she shitteth on herself!
She is in need of a no-shit lawyer.
Too bad Bernasty was disbarred and then killed himself last year. This case would be right up his alley.
And that’s no shit!!!
So I got the poop on this story
So literally her shit is in the street?
She did it in Messy-two-shits. Had she done it in California, I bet that she wouldn’t have even been arrested!

I got a letter from obama today asking for a donation to the demorat party. I guess they send out these letters to Indies since I am an Indie so I ran the paperwork through the shredder which turned out to be a double header shredder. Any of you Indies get one of these donation envelopes in the mail???
Jeff, the ninja Family received BHO’s letter in the mail yesterday.
It was mailed to every registered Voter in our State.
Just as you, it was condemned to the Shredder.
Some poor Tree gave its Life for that Letter.
Please don’t tell AOC, Bloomberg, Greta and Gore about that Tree.

I would use it for either fireplace kindling or ass paper!
When I get crap like that, if it includes a postage paid return envelope, i stuff it with as much junk mail as I can fit in it, and send it back.. let them pay the postage to take my crap!
I used to do that with the prepaid envelope and letters from AARP. Then, belatedly, AARP caught on and they don’t send prepaid envelopes anymore. You have to pay if you want to join AARP. Oblowme will follow that business model.
I’d rather they try to call me so I can preach The Great Flying Spaghetti Monster to them until they cuss and hang up, you wouldn’t believe how much that cuts down on Telepests calling your house!

I’ve worked with some of these, as we say, “Hollyweird Types” that were…self centered, egotistical blowed up with their own self importance asinine idiots. Andrew’s people appreciated our honesty of purpose, and spent way yonder more time on that segment than was originally planned. The lady at the cafe, her Daddy “Uncle Bill” was a good friend of mine and our line construction crew ate there quite a bit. Uncle Bill’s nephew and I worked together for over 8 years, 4 of them every day as a placing crew.

History Lessons for Today, 24 January 2020:
(1) On 24 January 1935, the FIRST Canned Beer goes on Sale by the Krueger Brewing Company of Richmond, Virginia. The name of the Beer was “Krueger Cream Ale”. Pabst was the SECOND Brewer that same year to sell beer in cans, with the cans coming with a picture of a can opener on the side with opening instructions.
(2) On 24 January 1972, a Japanese Soldier finally emerged from Jungle Caves in Guam after living there for 27 years. He was unaware that World WWII had ended. 27 years:

(3) The Department of Homeland Security started operating on 24 January 2003.
(4) The US Secretary of Defense, Leon Panetta, announced on 24 January 2013 that the US Military would end its ban on Woman in Combat Roles in the US Armed Forces. That decision overturned a rule instated in 1994 that banned Women from Small Ground Combat Units.
(5) On 24 January 1922, the Eskimo Pie was patented by a Christian K. Nelson.
(6) On 24 January 1984, Apple Computer places the Macintosh personal computer on sale in the United States.
(7) John Belushi of SNL, Blues Brothers and Animal House was born on 24 January 1949. Here’s his Inspirational Speech from “Animal House”:

Happy Birthday, Neil Diamond.
In the Spirit of Hondo and Dave and their love for Music, here is one of Neil Diamond’s songs. A very talented Song Writer, Singer and Musician:
My Man. Damn we done got old. Happy Birthday Neil Diamond. You, unlike that other Neil that “Southern Man don’t need him around anyhow” (bonus points for solving that riddle ie which Neil, What song by what band), brought it home on every Tampa Trip between Ocala and I-4 since the FIRST trip in ’06. Wouldn’t be any dust on them speakers when that Greatest Hits CD was running. My departed Nephew, a Minister, patterned his Revival Meetings on the energy from Brother Love’s Traveling Salvation Show.
That fucking Canuck Neil Young with his bullshit “Southern Man” song…. however, it did provide some inspiration for Skynyrd to write “Sweet Home Alabama.” If I recall correctly, however, one of the band members (Ronnie?) was wearing a Neil Young t-shirt in the cover photo for the “Street Survivors” album, so clearly there wasn’t bad blood about it. But what do I know, I’m just a Mexican Yankee!🤣🥃🍺
We have a Winner! And some wonder why we keep The Pappy around. It’s not just because he can open a coldbeer bottle. Or drinks whiskey and rye. 😀
I just saw that canuck bag of shit got his American citizenship so that he could vote against President Trump.. seems we need to put a ban on Canadians becoming citizens.. send him, “just a beaver”, and that skank samantha bee back where they came from !
Just a beaver, Justin Bieber. Took me a bit to decipher.
Remember he said that, when they announce “Trump wins” in November.
Savor it. Send him a thank-you card and remind him he is now paying taxes into the Trump 2nd term administration.
(Grin)
Speaking of “Trump wins”, WTF is it with all of the dipshit booger-munch celebrities that reneged on their promises to leave the USA when President Trump got elected? We’re still stuck with them!
Singin’ this’ll be the day that I die…
This’ll be the day that I die.

ANOTHER DUDE WHO MISREPRESENTED HIS MILITARY SERVICE (STOLEN VALOR).
Mugshot included. Guy only served two months and twenty-five days in Basic Training at Fort Benning, GA starting in April of 2007. He went AWOL and in November of 2007, he was “Discharged under Other Than Honorable Conditions” .
*sigh*
“Stolen Valor: Scranton Man Charged After Theft Investigation Reveals Service Record”
https://www.pahomepage.com/news/stolen-valor-scranton-man-charged-after-theft-investigation-reveals-service-record/
“Lackawanna County District Attorney Mark Powell announced Friday that charges were filed against 31-year-old Chris Crawford for misrepresenting himself as a member of the military.”
“It all started back in August of 2019 with allegations against Crawford for misappropriating funds at American Legion Post 568 in Scranton.”
“Crawford was arrested shortly after by Lackawanna County Detectives. He was charged with using a debit card to steal more than $16,000 from Connolly Post 568 on Birney Avenue.”
“On Friday, Powell announced new charges against Crawford of “Misrepresentation of Military Service or Honors” and “Misrepresentation of Decoration or Medal.”
“In his statement, Powell said, “The conduct alleged in this case – masquerading as a combat veteran in order to infiltrate and steal funds from an American Legion post – is breathtakingly brazen and unprecedented in my almost 30 years of practicing criminal law in Lackawanna County. It’s an affront to every veteran who has defended our great nation.”
“Crawford joined Post 568 under the guise that he was a combat veteran.”
“According to the release, this month, Crawford’s military files were released. It was determined by the Lackawanna County Veterans’ Affairs Office that Crawford spent two months and twenty-five days in boot camp starting in April of 2007. Crawford went absent without leave (AWOL) from C Company 2-54th Infantry in Fort Benning Georgia.”
“In November of 2007, he was “Discharged under Other Than Honorable Conditions” and is not considered to be a member of the military.”
Wotta SORRYASSED PILE OF SHIT!!!
One look at this scumbag’s mugshot and you can tell he’s an asshole…
Another rancid cherry on the sh^t sundae. The Post that I’m a member of not only requires that the prospective member show a DD214, they do a check with St. Louis, just to make sure. Sh^tbags gonna sh^tbag.
Good catch, Ninja.
This turd has a lengthy criminal history, mostly thefts.
How an American Legion post could let this guy slip in,
no less giving him ATM card access, is beyond explanation.
By all means, be sure YOUR veteran organization

Late to the party tending to various familial business matters.
Our church men’s group is having a men’s gathering they call “stake and shake” – so I had to go get a small steak to prepare to cook on the grill there tomorrow. The “Shake” refers to games of 42 (if you have to ask, you won’t understand). They are also offering “cornhole” competition, which shows that the Yankees have invaded. If it were all Southerners that’d be a horseshoe competition.
All well in the GB Compound AO. God be with all of you through the coming week.
For those unaware, “cornhole” is a lawn game popular in the North Central/North Eastern/Mid-Atlantic US. It’s played with beanbag-type bags filled with dried corn kernels weighing 1 lb and a polished wooden board with a hole in the middle; the object is to throw the bag so that it goes in the hole or stays on the board. Score is kept (3 points for in the hole, 1 point for on the board); first individual/team to 21 wins.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cornhole
FWIW: the term has, shall we say, somewhat different connotations for those raised in other parts of the country and not familiar with the game. That can lead to some interesting reactions to radio announcements regarding “cornhole tournaments”. (smile)
I was passing time channel surfing one day on one of the plethora of ESPN channels and came across collegiate cornhole competition.
Yes, with uniforms (sort of) and everything. And yes, the schools represented are the sort of Juco/Division 7Z schools you might expect.
And people thought ESPN 8 (The Ocho) was only in a movie.
One of the guys playing 42 today had a book that has been written on that topic. In its 4th edition, with notations about championship tournament winners and strategies.
A good 42 player can tell what you have in your hand by what you bid and the first domino you throw.
I had a good hand with doubles trump and took the bid, but instead of the double six I threw the double blank first – and went set.
Aah fuck it. I got a nice buzz on….Enjoy a little something from a guy who SHOULD be in both the Country and Rock-n-Roll Halls of Fame, but is in neither…a true son of the Lone Star State. And, yes, that is Bob Dylan doing backing vocals.

I haven’t heard any estimates on the size as I have turned off the news pretty much because I just can’t stand listening to anything from the d-rats anymore….
Anyway, it was pretty good sized and of course the MAGA hats were everywhere !!!

Sad? No. One day I hope that Margaret Sanger’s legacy is forgotten. Eugenics and the rest of that “progressive” bullshit needs to go. Contrary to the statements of a certain individual, we don’t buy into that genocidal shit. That ALL belongs to the Left.
^THIS^ X 1K gazzilion. Preach Pappy. Choice and women’s health care my ass. You are making a choice to murder an innocent baby. You made a choice when you opened your legs without insisting on protection from either yourself or the partner. And yes I understand that whole “conceived in rape thing.” Castrate the rapist, give birth to the baby and place the child for adoption. Maybe if these abortionist looked at a few graphic videos of how the different types of abortions are carried out they may notice that it is nothing but murder.
The know – they just don’t care because they have dehumanized the child (and for that matter the handicapped and elderly).
They care more for how a dog is treated than a baby, a handicapped or elderly person, or anyone who doesn’t toe the party line.
Why the Judeo-Christian doctrine of The Image of God is so important.

*OOPS*, wrong comment.

The Space Force’s new logo. https://www.dailywire.com/news/trump-unveils-space-forces-new-logo

Facebook is all aflame about the logo, too … saying it’s ripping off “Star Trek.”
There are calls for CBS/Paramount to sue the government for plagiarism.
Silly people. The Air Force used the emblem as far back as 1982, when Space Command was created, and it may or may not have been influenced by “Star Trek” – I don’t know. But it’d be hard for Paramount to sue anybody over it, since it’s been 38 years.
Yes, all civil causes of action have statutes of limitation. The claim would likely be common law copyright infringement. In most jurisdictions one would have to sue within four years of the first violation.
Since Starfleet isn’t formed until at least the late 22nd or early 23rd century, and presumably only then registering logos, would the lawsuit not have to wait until then?
Wonder if they Star Trekked much.
Star Trekkin’, across the universe……
Associated Press providing news that we’ve known all along… What people think regarding the validity, or lack of validity, of the impeachment depends on what news sources a person relies on.
The article said this:
This is a false narrative?
The leftist media generates propaganda, feelings and want determine fact, actual facts are “opinions” and “false information”. 🙄

Over at all the lame stream media TV stations and websites, such as MSNDNC, they are all impeachment all the time. Their talking heads are claiming that Shiffhole’s never ending speech is the modern day equivalent of the Gettysburg address. The Progda is in high gear.
Minitru sayeth. The Left obeyeth.

A study finds that parents spend an average of five hours of facetime with their kids a week. In addition to the distractions that existed for decades like the television, the internet, items like the cell phone, and other factors are named as culprits.
Add this reality to the idea that a large percentage of the education system is interested in indoctrinating children rather than educating them. Perhaps this is a reason why socialism and communism appear to have more support with the younger generations than with the older generations.
