  1. "Hey! I'm driving here!"
  2. I used to work with a former Sailor who loved to tell folks, "You know, the Marines are a department of the Navy. The men's department." He loved his time in the Navy, but enjoyed being around Marines. He would have made a hell of a Marine, had he chosen that course.
  3. They all look good, but you ain't gonna shit for a week with all of that.
  4. You left out the post hole digger.
  5. Spare parts, decoys, decoy drones, worn-out-is-better-than-nothing flyers. Take your pick.
  6. You know that this man told his wife that there is no way to "clean this up" that would give any useful information, but his wife bitched until he posted it. She won't accept his word for it; she has to hear it from someone else. Married men know.
  7. For corps turds, it is.
  8. Congratulations! I'm glad that you seized the opportunity and made it happen.
  9. For my first LPs, I got The Beach Boys "Endless Summer" and ELO "A New World Record" for Christmas. The first that I bought was "Sergeant Pepper's...". I don't remember my first 45, but it was probably a promotional that I won from our local radio station in a "Name That Tune" type of contest. ETA - I just remembered, I bought "Philadelphia Freedom" by Elton John for my first purchased 45. The first cassettes that I bought instead of mixing my own from the radio were Chuck Mangione "Children of Sanchez" and Andrew Lloyd Webber "Requiem", purchased together. My first CDs were Tears For Fears "Songs From The Big Chair" and Dire Straights "Brothers In Arms", again purchased together. I can't remember first download.
  10. No, I've never seen footwear that I thought was flushed. I did help clean out a manhole that had been used as a trash dump by a construction crew that had a flip-flop in it, along with debris like trimmings from 2x4s, bricks, shingles, a broken hammer, and various trash. They popped the cover off and just used it as a dumpster until it started overflowing. Assholes.
  11. Go Navy, Beat Army!
  12. Sometimes life chooses for you. I do dream of moving somewhere that I'm not surrounded by idiots, but I have what I have, and it's pretty good.
  13. Are you on a septic or other on-site sewer system? If so, I'm glad for you. If you, like most people, are on a public utility sewer system, ask the folks who work on the collection system, lift stations, and at the treatment plant if they are having the problems for you. A surprising number of things will flush down a toilet. I have seen panties, bras, men's boxers, swim trunks, tees shirts, photographs, folding money, string, a banana in a condom, and other things that I'm sure were flushed that had to be pulled out of a lift station pump or made it to the bar screens at my plants. Just because you can get it down the toilet doesn't mean it should be in the system.
  14. I have to go with maybe. I'm not familiar with these specifically. I have heard that truly flushable wipes are being worked on, but not that anyone has made it happen yet. Biodegradability is not a good measure for judging how these will affect a sewer system. Paper towels are plant based and biodegradable, but still cause problems in sewer systems. Your hideous pumpkins, which I love, are biodegradable and plant based, but they would cause problems in a system for sure. Try this: get two glass jars with lids, between a pint and a quart each. Fill each up half to three quarters with water, then put a wipe in one and an equivalent amount of toilet paper in the other. Put the lids on and shake them for 15 or 20 seconds. If the wipe falls apart like the TP does, they're good to go. If not, please don't flush them.
  15. This. I live less than 20 miles from pyle field, so I can't hope for a nuke. I'll have to settle for the Earth opening up and swallowing them all, or a tornado. Maybe a volcano springing up at the 50. Something like that.
