re: Normandy vet sings "Blood on the Risers/Paratrooper thread. Any jumpers?

My greatest accomplishment in the military is kicking the Army out of C-130s. I ain't one of them, but I'm glad I could help.
Taking off out of Benning(Lawson AAF) and hearing them in the back over the engines was surreal. "STAND UP" "ONE MINIUTE"
Nothing like it.

Trashy white people writing what amounts to twitter/x posts on cardboard in front of their house/on their cars was a solid form of entertainment for me in the mid 2000's in north LA. Glad to see it's still alive.
I was home for Christmas last year and took my wife and kids down highway 4 between...

re: What's the deal with guys who go in the stall to urinate?
Posted by HerkFlyer on 4/23/24 at 1:31 am
If there’s a urinal available, I take it.
A battle I’ve fought is when I have to pee really bad, I’ve come close to whipping the ole peen out about 5 feet short of the urinal in a crowded public restroom. Not sure what makes my subconscious think that’s OK. Probably the military’s fault....

[quote]People who went from nice older home to newer one[/quote]
I did the opposite. I was living in a new construction spec home and recently renovated and moved into a mid 1960’s built house.
Assuming the spec house is built out of the same weak shite I see on the lumber aisle at Home Depot…...

Man I’m pissed at Toyota. I thought the 4th gen hybrid Tacoma was going to be available by now. Here we are a year after they revealed it and it’s not even on the horizon. All trim levels are currently available except the hybrids(TRD Pro/Trail Hunter). The 4 Runner will probably be the same way....

Right fricking now. Making decent money. Good family at home. Life is good.
I long for the old days as we all do, but I had problems back then too. We can’t live in the past forever. I’d give anything to go back to my grandparent’s house for a family crawfish boil in the mid 90’s for a day. Just n...
