    2. Being lucky can always be more better than being good. And, no, I have NOT been wearing out my refresh key since midnight, awaiting the dropping of The Christmas Day Holiday Open Thread, just so that The King of Battle, THE King of FIRST could EARN him another Jewel in the Crown. Tho a twofer is always nice to have on one’s resume. Had just padded in from my cocoon and was awaiting the Cup a Joe to brew when I opened up Mr. Chromie and saw that I had a good tone and took the shot. Nice Christmas Present for The Gun Bunny.

      Not as nice a Christmas Present that the world got those many years ago when The Father Himself sent the Greatest Gift the world has ever seen. A Most Joyous and Merry Birthday (Celebrated) to all of The TAH Family is wished and ‘lest we forget…May The Good Lord watch over all of our Troops in their far flung Stations that are now maintaining that Eternal Vigilance, keeping watch over the flock.

        1. Jesus was a good Jewish boy, y’know. Very orthodox. Even had His Bar Mitzvah in Jerusalem, it seems.

    1. Here’s one, biblical exposition style. The themes from the Old Testament continue into the New Testament. The author of Luke metaphorically shows the state of the Kingdom of Heaven (humbleness, humility, service, etc.). This is what is meant by “dust” when Adam (humanity) is told from dust he came (created in God’s image), to dust he shall return (back to state of humbleness, service, etc.).

      1. Psalms 144:1 “1 Praise be to the Lord my Rock, who trains my hands for war, my fingers for battle.”

      2. MustangCPT 1:1 – The guy who beats his swords into plowshares ends us plowing for the guy who didn’t.

        I cleaned it up for the holiday.

        VLLC!

    2. Revelation 19:11

      And I saw heaven opened, and behold a white horse; and he that sat upon him was called Faithful and True, and in righteousness he doth judge and make war.

  16. Merry Xmas to all, and especially to those still out there on the front lines, serving our country and our fellow Americans.

  23. Merry Christmas all! Waiting for Mrs Eggs to prep the prime rib, beers with the neighbors later (I actually scored some Yuengling for such occasions). Have a great, safe Holidaze.

      1. This old retired flight engineer/crew chief I worked with years ago does a big road trip cross country every summer (he’s a PA boy) and he brought back a case for us poor bastard AZ folks.

        1. When Bud got woke Yuengling wasted no time in gearing up to fill the void. Hope you will have easier access as they enjoy their opportunity to claim a market that AB abandoned.

          Good beer from America’s oldest brewery.

          2. I can find the regular and light most places down my way, and Winn Dixie and a few other stores sell the Black and Tan (my personal favorite). Of course, down here there’s plenty of Abita and Shiner to go around.

              1. And the seasonal Yuengling Hershey’s Chocolate Porter is currently available. Good stuff and it makes a hell of an ice cream float with a scoop of a good vanilla ice cream!🍨 🍺

      2. Damn, now I gotta have me a Yuengling. Fortunately, I keep an emergency six-paquito for just such an occasion!🍺🍺🍺🍺

    1. More like Feliz Navi-dog.
      That picture reminds me of when my wife bought a little sombrero for our Chihuahua and she put it on him. He was NOT happy. He had this look in his face like, “Really? Just because I’m Mexican you gotta give me a sombrero?”

        1. No. As a Norteño from the state of Chihuahua, my dog would be wearing a cowboy hat; sombreros are more a central and southern Mexican thing. And that bandana “ese” thing is a no-go in my house. Plus, he has better taste in Mexican suds than that horse piss you’re showing. 🤣

          It would be either Cerveza Indio or XX Amber. Both fine amber lagers from the great state of Nuevo León, remarkably similar to my beverage of choice. Especially the Indio if you can find it on tap!🍺🍺🍺

          Fuck that skunky “Defe” shit (Corona).

  27. You know what I got for Christmas? A giant bill in the form of my 23 y/o HVAC system shitting the bed. The only Christmas miracle I got was 0% financing. Happy holidays and don’t any of you dare try to sign back in off of leave telephonicly.

    1. I feel your pain.
      Although my version is a frame repair on an F150 – the end-of-year bonus goes to someone else.
      Hope things get repaired quickly, and nothing worse happens.
