  1. And yet, we continue to insist on Ukraine fighting with one hand tied behind their back.
  2. The Marines have so many great quotes from battle but this one from Tawara is pretty awesome. Colonel David Shoup was reporting up the chain of command on the 2nd day: "Casualties many: Percentage of dead not known; Combat efficiency: we are winning." Shoup won the Medal of Honor at Tarawa.
  3. Tyler and San Antonio are the most likely to answer. Dallas and Houston are hit or miss. D.C. always go right to voice mail.
  4. Paul wasn't the most entertaining guntuber but he was probably the most honest. Godspeed, Mr. Harrell.
  5. I called Cruz's Houston office today and asked the staffer to tell Ted to stay away from Ann Arbor this weekend to avoid Ted's stank on the Longhorns. The young man chortled.
  6. This a little dated but probably age appropriate: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_World_at_War
  7. Don't forget MacArthur's head in the sand moments before the Japanese attacked the Philippines in 1941 AND before North Korea attacked in June 1950 AND then when the Chinese came screaming across the border in late 1950. Defending the Philippines in 1941-1942 was a fool's errand but Mac did as bad a job as could have been done. In1950, his intelligence head completely ignored a lot of good Intel that the Norks were planning something. The Chinese warned us as well before coming south. Granted, Korea wasn't WWII but Dugout Doug thought his shit didn't stink. And it did.
  8. He was spewing his shit on Limbaugh's show in the late 90's. He hasn't been a serious person in a very long time.
  9. Spyro Pappadimos from The Guns of Navarone
  10. It's interesting how the whole story just went away after she was found too. Gee, I wonder why.
  11. And remind her that Catholics are Christians too.
  12. You got a problem with turducken?
  13. That bobble head looks like Mack Brown and Patton Oswalt's bastard love child.
  14. I'll go a different route... I want to see here naked.
  15. Perun does great videos. I listened to this yesterday and learned some and enjoyed it a lot.
  16. What exactly makes a dumb ass attorney qualified to be a senior advisor to Donald Trump? I mean, besides the tits.
  17. You don't want a comp from the Fairmont Austin. You want a comp for any Fairmont. I had something similar happen at a hotel years ago and wrote to corporate office. I got a weekend stay at any hotel in the chain.
  18. He couldn't look douchier if he tried.
  19. I was being modest. I'm mean, it's not like I had a "real" problem like all you other drunks.
  20. The funny part is that I watched a shit ton of CFB yesterday and drinking never crossed my mind. Used to be that Saturday was easily a 6-8 drink day.
  21. Reminds me of Barbara Moore's playboy shoot from back in the day.
  22. But Trump knows more about [Insert whatever topic he's bloviating about here\] than anyone else!
  23. Damn. I mean, I know you're still sore about that night I spent with your wife and all but just damn.
  24. Went to Dallas for a work thing this week. On Wednesday we went out to dinner. Our group met up with some other company employees for drinks then moved on to dinner (Mister Charles in Highland Park, and it was fucking fantastic.) Another guy in the group and I were the sparkling water drinkers. The booze flowed for the others and I have to admit, I was a tid bit tempted to order something to "fit in." At dinner, someone asked me about not drinking and I straight up told her that I quit because my drinking had gotten out of control. That actually felt good to say out loud in that kind of setting. This is another of those drinking situations from the past where I would have paced myself and kept the drinking to "acceptable" amounts. But not drinking socially has been one of the most challenging for me. After dinner, some of them met up with different work group for drinks at another place. 2 of us (the other sparkling water drinker) went back to the hotel. I kind of felt like a party pooper but then again, I was in bed getting a good (sober) night's sleep while the others got back almost 2 hours after I had fallen asleep. I had some work to do as well so knocking that out and not being up late was worth it. The next morning, the others were all worn out while I was feeling pretty good. If I had gone out with them, there was a pretty good chance that I would have come back to the hotel for a couple of drinks by myself to finish out the night. I'll be traveling for my job off and on so working in this environment will keep up. But fucking-a was it great to wake up on Thursday morning knowing that I'd made it through another challenge.
