  1. Land thief driver One of many Merit Scholars? Obviously phailed physics.
  2. A 74-72 multiple overtime contest. If aggy gets 74, another t-shirt ... If Auburn gets 74, blame the refs.
  3. ... not enough.
  4. deployment to NAS Cubi Point was the best ...
  5. Thought the Biblical distance measurement was the "cubit" ... ? https://arkencounter.com/noahs-ark/cubit/
  6. Inactive blog site I used to frequent ... "the stupid shall be punished." Some good sea stories. http://bubbleheads.blogspot.com/
  7. I was a nuke EM long ago ... Nuke school at Mare Island in 1972 and prototype at S5G in Idaho. I got lucky and qualified for a commissioning program after finishing prototype, so my nuke experience ended there. I do recall the attrition rate was rather high ... at least 40% didn't make it through the academics of Nuke School (learning math and physics there was like taking a drink from a fully charged fire hose). Other reasons for attrition included getting busted for drug use or failing physical standards. Speaking to present day nukes, the program does have mighty fine monetary incentives for retention. Back in my day, the Navy offered at least $10k for reenlisting, and I'm sure the bonuses have gone up appreciably. We only received one automatic promotion, E-3 to PO3 upon completion of A school.
  8. Private account ... just wanted to see if she posted nekkid pics of herself.
  9. Maybe it's just me, but I found it difficult to understand the local dialect. https://www.irishcentral.com/culture/entertainment/derry-girls-accent
  10. You can blame Obama ... On March 29, 2012, President Obama proclaimed March 29, 2012, as Vietnam Veterans Day. The proclamation called "upon all Americans to observe this day with appropriate programs, ceremonies, and activities that commemorate the 50 year anniversary of the Vietnam War." or Trump ... On March 28, 2017, President Trump signed the Vietnam War Veterans Recognition Act of 2017. This act officially recognizes March 29 as National Vietnam War Veterans Day. The Act also includes the day among those days on which the US flag should especially be displayed. link ... https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/National_Vietnam_War_Veterans_Day BTW, I know a few of my fellow Vietnam Vets who would rather forget about their experience in SE Asia.
  11. Introduced to this brand by an Irish bar entrepreneur who has done well business-wise in FtWorth. Before it was readily available in liquor stores, he'd bring back pints of it after trips home to visit family. It's blended, and cheap ... but surprisingly smooth.
  12. I remember you ... passed you a fattie and you walked off with it.
  13. Send me you ncaa BB tourney bracket when you get time ...
  14. Mom's asking if it was good for you, too.
