I was going to talk about how the Marine Corps is cutting corners to save a few bucks by dropping sniper school, those weapons are specialized platforms, only thing I have say about that is, cutting corners to save a few bucks isn’t the only things they’ll be doing,
they’ll also be filling body bags
if you get meaning
“Spartans did not ask how many were the enemy
but where are they”
Plutarch
Reading about them PANTIFA= cockroaches for short, down there in Georgia attacking Cop city, was thinking, don’t Georgia have rednecks, I know they have peaches in pretty dresses down there.
Little feet sang about such ladies
reference Dixie Chicken 🙂
It’s humpday, maybe it should be renamed, LUMP day 🙂
Jack Holder, last survivor of the December 7th attack on the U.S.S. Arizona
Grandfather, whose voice I hear in the winds And whose breath gives life to everyone, Hear me. I come to you as one of your many children; I am weak… I am small…I need your wisdom and your strength
Let me walk in beauty, and make my eyes ever behold the red and purple sunsets. Make my hands respect the things you have made, and make my ears sharp so I may hear your voice. Make me wise, so that I may understand what you have taught my people and The lessons you have hidden in each leaf and each rock. I ask for wisdom and strength, Not to be superior to my brothers, but to be able to fight my greatest enemy, myself. Make me ever ready to come before you with clean hands and a straight eye, So as life fades away as a fading sunset, My spirit may come to you without shame.
This is more of a story than a posting. First we need to explain Pete.
Pete is not Asian, he’s full-blooded Italian. People think of the railroads, they tend to think of Asian folks doing all the work. Back in the 80’s I told a lil brother, listen up, dad always wanted his best friend to be happy and he made sure she was, dad is gone, he wouldn’t want her sitting in house staring at walls, he had hard time about mother going out and dancing, she’d loved to dance.
Some years went by an she finally decided to get the hell out of the house and live again. After some dances at different places, she ran into Pete.
She set the terms, I will be marrying no one, dance and company of course, no marriage. Pete was ok with that, he just didn’t understand what he was getting himself into. Pete is like maybe 5’8/5’9 and barrel chested. Was a program on the teevee called Finland Calling, ole Carl would hold dances allover UP here, Pete would drive her to the dances, calls me up, “
that G’damn PETE, suppose to dancing, couldn’t find him anywhere, went outside behind the building, there he was with 5/6 other fellas listening to the G’damn football game, drinking, smoking cigarettes.” When she was done, not just Pete, but all of them was feeling 2 cents waiting on change.
She was spitting fire mad.
Pete started laying railroad ties when he was 14 years old. help put on the table, his dad died in a mining accident. Pete isn’t doing so well these days, still calls her up, checking in on her so that’s good. Pete is a good guy. When you hear her mention Pete, now you know Pete, keep else something in mind.
In this corner!!!!!
we have Doc Jilly with her PEDOhubby who showers with his daughter. and with a crackhead son who is the smartest man he’s ever known
And
in the other corner we have mom
Let the cognitive testing begin…
Meanwhile in Seattle
Pete could make some excellent spaghetti with meatballs
Looking at the lake, slight breeze with stuff to do, I have this thought I cannot shake off. When I find myself face to face with God and having to explain myself, I do wonder if He’ll hand me rollarsaktes and point to Purgatory, you know, it’s where one goes while God decides what He’s got in store for you.
Case in point, saying something like
God, this is all on you, is probably something that shouldn’t be said. Well, He knows me well enough by now. ” God, Women know this, and fellas know this, they just leave it to me to say it, boobs are magic,
there, I said it
Toldja, not my fault God”. I can already hear you people talking in hush tones, ” better him then me!”.
Looking for the ladies always, some useful stuff to keep in mind
Commercial break:

Ohh look, more people jumping out of perfectly good aero planes
You see stuff as that, Keep Jack in mind, When Jack finally wore out the Marine Corps, he decided to cure his fear of heights by joining the Army
As his Jumpmaster said” Jack was the last out, the first to hit the ground, his main chute didn’t deploy, his reserve also failed. Jack picked himself up off the ground, well, that wasn’t so bad.
Classic example of youth vs experience:
With stuff to do, Keep smiling people, for it may be your last opportunity
This couple finally reunited in the same care home, after a year apart
I chose pissing you off before grossing you out, so that in my book is proof, I’m a nice guy. Time to gross you out, I’m nice, just not as nice as say Mother Theresa nice.
Horsehair worms are internal parasites of crickets and crickets are now being used in food.
I know this video is pretty disgusting, but it’s important people are aware of the dangerous health consequences of eating crickets and other bugs which have recently been legalized for human consumption.
For a fella who had a knack for words, he also had great insight
Thing about Women, they love to talk, Laura has the gift of gab, I find no fault in her words.
And she’s easy on the eyes, I can say that because I speak my mind without g’damn permission
Heard tell, an animal is most dangerous when it cornered.
Looking at this picture, the DARK AGES came to mind, why?
With ROME there was running water, when ROME died with a whimper, wells became popular. The Dark AGES, aptly named when compared to ROME.
There’s a lady down over in the Gladstone area who makes and sells peter-heaters,
I didn’t know if you that, well you do now.
It’s not mannerly if I used such words for a title as Poor Penis, that’s just wrong. So I am pacing myself while thinking of proper words to use later-on. I could pose a question such as:
How many of you gentlemen talk to another Man’s Woman about her husband’s penis?
Unless one is a doctor, I’d tally the hands to be zero. It’s no laughing matter to be sure, as a proud penis owner myself, I can only grimace and bring some cranberry juice for comfort.
From the email:
“I took Armydog to ER yesterday Morning at 9 urinating blood he had Kidney stones he passed them but one they had to go in his penis and unplug him we were there until 6pm it was storming so my daughter came and got us drove us home we had to wait on the urologist he was in surgery and in between surgeries he would come to ER Chance no shit surgeon came in with one of these rolling tool boxes and I was wondering what the hell was he going to do I was wondering if I should leave he said I’ll take you out in the waiting room be back to get ya in 30 mins he did they went in unplug his penis flushed him out and we were good to go.”
Maybe someone can explain, just what does unplug his penis actually means. There’s little doubt, his wifey will be talking about his penis to me, So I need to be delicate.
To keep things in a proper perspective, sitting in VA lobby, this much older couple approached, the lady asked if they could next to me, I stood up, yes mam, “he’s fine standing in his walker”. Her husband with a oxy tank and tube in his nose, I looked at him, saw a twinkle in his eye. ” He doesn’t talk, he had a stroke, so I do all the talking”. We sat down, few moments had past. Mam, where you folks from?. we drove up from Racine, they had us for Milwaukee but they changed doctors on us, so here we are”. Mam, how long you two been married?
“55 years, we would have been married longer, but I told him, I ain’t marrying no corpse, so many girls married corpses, you come back, I’ll marry you, he did, so we got married”. Any kids?
“We had 8 children, now we have great children, and 5 great grandchildren”. That lady could talk I’m hear to tell ya. but then their name called, I stood up, offered her my arm to help her up. I looked at her husband in the walker, I swear that twinkle got bigger from the first time I seen it. I leaned into him a bit, whispered, you dog.
Maybe it just me, but on a stack of Bibles, I swear I seen a slight grin on his face.
That’s a real sign, been seeing that sign for decades, still don’t know what is not mutch longer. With constant cold wind off the lake, one’s face expression tends to keep the Clint squint permanently in place.
don’t go down there, you’ll bust ribs, there will be no sympathy later on for you as you were told, don’t go down there
I see some Florida fella died from some brain rotting disease while rinsing out his nose using tap water.
some water facts
I don’t speak ruskie, if someone here does, I’d appreciate if the translation is true or not
Only other item related is this I found
200 billion, then that skirt janet yellen dropped off more.
This is the laundry-man at his finest
Nothing wrong with wearing the Clint squint everyday.
“what the hell am I doing”. Not talking those times you find in the kitchen asking, I’m just in here for something, or am i leaving. Not like that. I’m talking wearing gloves, an smelling Clairol hair coloring. That stuff just stinks, I’m getting better at it though, as I told ma, you’re dance card will be full. Last time, she was redder than a dick on a dog, madder then hell to. Tried telling her, get someone who knows what the hell they are doing, Men shouldn’t breath this stuff. ” I’m not paying anyone when you are right here.
Told her I could save my lungs from breathing this stuff if I used leather dye,
Ox blood
Then I said, I have a new objective for you, ever heard for the 110 club? ” what that” There’s a lady name Maria, she’s now the oldest person in the whole wide world.
Her tone changed, perked right up, as if she needs more perking.
At 115 year of age, she still smiling through all the good times, sad times
Something else fellas should never do, get waxed.
Ma, you like Brooks & Dunn? “I like thier songs”.
Here’s to you Maria
The Marine Corps handbook never said anything about coloring hair
If that Armydog think I have forgotten his words spoken in the VA lobby
” You got to be the ugliest Marine I’ve ever seen, and I’ve seen a lot of them, mind if I sit here”. He’s got another thing coming. I sent him this
with another thing coming
So you were in the Army, it shows
I figure it this way, if he decides to finally shoot me, can can always take my name from dead voter rolls and use of it a bill of sale for his favorite rifle.
Wanna know why I’m never invited to presses conferences?
I bellow out, Yeah! let’s trust these two, they sound on the up & up
a lab coat and a RHINO
They would probably retort with , ” do you have anything postitive to this conversation?”.
Yeah
I’m about to make phone call that I really don’t want to do, I’ll do it, for I’m the only one who can.
Takes less muscles to make a smile then it does a frown.
My frown will be with added bent brow, no growl needed.
It’s a small matter really, compared to other things I see
Read someplace, stepping out your door, if you don’t keep your wits about you, you never where you’ll end up.
If it seems like I’m always outside, there’s good reason for it, because I am for the most part. Less so these days because of responsibilities.
Heard some radio add about breaking down culture barriers, something to with black history month. A monthly gym membership implies you belong to a culture people taking care of thier bodies. Welcome to my gym, aka the backyard.
Will I keep up with the young bucks when the time comes, for a time, I’m with that.
Plenty culture over on this table
I’ve mentioned a couple of times my cousin who owns a bar. I like it out here, more elbow room then people.
Say you was to mosey on in there, first things first, read the sign
I’ll tell about it sometime hint, don’t be messing around with another man’s woman
A slice of side stuff, my cousin got mad about something concerning his girlfriend, so he took off for 3 years, went bumming around Europe, came back, So you gonna marry me now she said, ” yeah I suppose’ been married ever since.
lots of musical culture in that
So many these days live in past, that’s just foolish, remember the past, but do not live there, looking constantly in the rear-view mirror is dumb, they’re not going that way. Smithie, I’ve mentioned him at times, good fella, familyman, runs a small shop, well his wfiey does, she keeps busy in back, making things.
When I say, Smithie, I need this made, his standard response is, ” yeah, I’ll get around to it”
Place down road, they have an area for throwing axes, even have family night. Rather cheap, good family fun. I suspect they keep Smithie rather busy. Is times I have a hard time understanding Smithie’s wife, that’s ok, we don’t nit-pic any differences we may have, to many other important concerns to be concerned about.
I see some state senator or some such person from S.C. saying, that state needs a “Yankee tax”. I don’t know anyone leaving these woods anytime soon.
