  1. I am a good loyal American, and would never think or write anything not in sync with the goals of our President.
  2. Maybe this guy made E-5 in 3 years too, then made E-4 again in 5 minutes. Which would make him cooler if he did.
  3. Corporal, minus leadership role. It's a rank you slide into after a year or two if you don't punch the captain. When I was part of the Spec 4 Mafia, I thought of it as "High Private."
  4. If Buddy is like our dogs, he'll never be completely gone.
  5. Will the infinigon Be unbroken By and by Lord By and by.
  6. Tell him you've been drinking and he'd better not piss you off.
  7. This is in the West Virginia part of Alabama. Any Black people wandering through Hanceville would be accorded the awe given by tribal societies to the insane. Yep, that was a traffic-stop village ticket-mill NW of BHam. Hanceville is due north, actually supports a Juco, various businesses, and a physical therapy rehab where I recently visited a family member (since escaped) without knowing what was up. Stopped for fast food, and there was almost a high-pitched hum coming off the workers-- they were friendly, but there was a vibe like they thought I was a spy from Corporate. My roots are Old South Black Belt [with a much more Latin American-style corruption], so whenever I venture into Appalachia I assume that I am being watched and judged by The Hills Have Eyes. Also, Hanceville is a bicycle ride down the road from Cullman, which has a KKK rep. But this at least is happening. Arresting three generations of criminals seems to be the key to making the rest pretend to do right.
  8. My grandmother was CofC, and church secretary. I got parked at a CofC vacation bible school where, among other Damian Demon Child utterances, I declared the lack of musical instruments to be "dumb." Must have run in the blood, because not long afterwards, Gramama ditched the church over how they used back-stabbery on the preacher.
  9. That's what drew my eye. Platinum's price has been relatively steady for several years, bopping between 800-1200, compared to gold and silver. So in other words, slowly getting cheaper. Not like I'm gonna get enough to change the world in any case. I am mostly just bored, plus the first time I remember hearing about platinum coins I was rolling up a D&D character.
  10. Anybody ever play around buying or selling platinum?
  11. Good test results are a wonderful thing. May you get shot by a jealous husband when you're 102.
  12. Biopsy results back in, they are 100% sure (as in completely) that every number they didn't like about my kidney can be blamed on Lenvima, and various other drugs they gave me to manage side effects. The calls were coming from inside the house. So, like, dropping or cutting back on half the concoctions I was innocently scarfing down. In the past two weeks I lost about ten pounds of excess water weight, maybe that much left to go. Doc has a different cancer drug lined up for the future, but for right now, I am just going to pretend I never had anything.
  13. Life is too short. Invite them over for a party. Open the door to show you and your whole family dressed as trans Mexicans.
  14. We're assuming the plane is upside down. It's possible it's the planet that flipped.
  15. Did you drop a tamale bite and spill out a sip of Sonic drink for all your dead homies? That would be legit dating back to Roman Sonic times.
  16. It's 48 degrees outside here. Gonna try to walk to the CVS. Cover me.
  17. The bird is flightless? Well it's not as if it's going anywhere.
  18. If you or I get called back up, a supervised institutional setting like the Army would be the safest place for us.
  19. Unfortunately the Army is always losing important shit. CSB: After I finished Officer Candidate School, I was assigned to a platoon. The clerk poked around in the records and informed me that there was no record of my attending AIT (Enlisted basic training + specialty training.) I kinda remember being there, in fact, I don't think you can even go to OCS if you didn't already complete Basic. But so it went. I didn't really GAF since I was functioning as Platoon Leader even though the guy on the rolls listed as such was off at flight school in exchange for whatever sexual services he'd provided to his senator. I asked the clerk to see what he could do. Never want to piss off a clerk or the PFC who knows where the barrel of the .50 cal went. I kinda liked being the Immaculate Conception Platoon Leader.
  20. Pretty sure I wore that same shirt, tie, and jacket to a job interview in 1993. Didn't have to sexually assault anybody either. Just showed a little leg.
  21. In my house, all coins have a use-cycle resembling that of cents. And I'd call us pretty cash-friendly. I'll carry paper cash to use instead of credit card, also to keep from buying too much. (And some places ring up a 3% discount if you don't make them give Square a cut.) Buy something, get various coins in change. Mrs. Canecutter collects coins, so she looks at them, rejects 99% as ordinary. The rest go on a shelf in case I decide to swan about on a city bus that month. Usually don't. Every now and then I'll make a big cash sale so I'll take it (plus excess coin change) and deposit it in the Credit Union. I never bought anything recently with the quarters, dimes, or nickels. They were useful, but no longer 100% currency the way they used to be in school when I'd gather up enough for a cheap burger before I'd leave the house. Maybe that's the key. If you're broke, you use them more.
  22. Why did the God-hating Communist Democrats do this?
  23. My band and I were employed to run customers away from a Kerbey Lane on the Drag, so this hits closes to home.
  24. Yes. Probably not from this though.
