  • Mayonnaise … mayonnaise … mayonnaise

    Mayonnaise … mayonnaise … mayonnaise

    Yesterday I was searching about the Interwebnet thingy for some festive tune to post. I must have started singing one of the songs as I went about my day.

    I called TSO to chat about high priority super secret stuff but it turned out I just mostly listened to children torturing the man. I no longer have any idea why I called in the first place but remembered my favorite parenting skill was sending the kids to bed early on some trumped up charges. My sons were called “Search and Destroy” and my daughter responded to “What Now”.

    The Hair called not long thereafter. I thought he was going to thank me for the tip about Grecian Formula being on sale at Target. Did you know that as goslings geese will bond with the first suitable moving stimulus, no matter if this is a goose, person or even an object? They remain dedicated to that person or object as their surrogate “parent” throughout their lives. Or did you know that Goose is actually the term for female geese, male geese are called ganders? A group of geese on land or in water are a gaggle, while in the air they are called a skein. Fascinating to hear about all that stuff in his erotic Shipley voice.

    The Soviet came home at some point to goose-step around the compound. Her shrill is almost as sensual as Shipley but not as suffering as TSO’s.

    She demanded I explain to her why I kept singing, “Mayonnaise … mayonnaise … mayonnaise”.

    Having no clue WTF she was talking about I checked the calendar and it was only the 12th so I should have another week before Broadzilla takes over her soul for a few days. I went about my business by mustering a deaf focus only a ranting Spousal Unit can conjure out of me. Just as I thought she had passed out from eating a gallon of Dulce de leche ice cream she came at me like Khrushchev at a United Nations function shrilling, “That’s it, that’s it”.

    My fellow Americans, I give you the ever popular seasonal classic, “Mayonnaise … mayonnaise … mayonnaise”.

    May all your Christmases be white.

    Seasons Greetings and MERRY CHRISTMAS.

  • There are some people who are obviously confused.

    There are several topics I have refrained from commenting about to a large degree.   I am one of those people who sleeps well at night because I don’t honestly give a shit about certain things.  I can not be compelled to give a shit about them and I have no intention of pretending I give a shit about some things.

    Jonn thought I should write an article about the entire Bernath debacle.  I would rather spend that time watching old people fuck.  The fixation people had with that clown was nonsense.  Why Bernath himself and many others chose to banter on with each other escapes me.  I talked with him on a few occasions, it became apparent to me that spending any more time than I absolutely had to on anything Bernath related was a waste of my time.

    Dallas still sends me an email now and then, but once again…I could give a shit less.  Altered pictures of me are posted online, statements are made about me, false accusations and so on.  I honestly do not give a shit and I never will.  I am not a Priest, I have no desire to be respected by people who do not know me and outside of the TAH group and Beirut veterans, you could put all the people I give a shit if they take another breath into a very small room.

    I get the death threats and threats to those close to me, I sleep just fine.  If you really want to kill me then just do it and stop being a pussy about it.  Nothing reeks of cowardice like an empty threat from someone without the balls to act on it.  I do not care who knows what I do and I never have.  Jonn and I shared that thought.  If you want to kill yourself for whatever reason, I do not give a shit.  Call someone who does… I am not that guy.    There are upwards of 45,000 charities in this country that claim to be in the business of kissing your ass, I suggest you take them up on it.

    Doing Stolen Valor related work is not for everyone.  All of us that do this work have our moments.  I hate to see anyone let this shit get them down.  Jonn did this work longer than just about anyone…there are a few exceptions.  I tried to step back into the shadows at one point,  Jonn denied my request.

    Things are moving along, not as quickly as we would like but we are getting there.  The usual legal threats keep showing up.  This guy comes to mind.   Please don’t tell me you are getting a lawyer and blah, blah, blah, just have them contact us in writing directly.  We will have new challenges to face as time goes on.  I understand there is a video posted by Don Shipley on his site about things.   He could use and deserves our support and heartfelt thanks for all he does.  It is no secret that Shipley is not my cup of tea.  We have no contact outside of a short professional call from him now and then.  He does his own thing and so long as I am not writing checks to pay for anything he does, I don’t care what he does.  Jonn defended him to the last.  It’s easy for some people to throw stones from the cheap seats and criticize Don.  He ain’t perfect and makes no claim to be so.  He gives a shit about a whole lot more than I do, I gotta respect that.

    I count on you people to make me stand corrected when I am wrong.  I expect to be criticized and have what I write critiqued.  Jonn let everyone speak their mind here, that will continue so long as I have any say in the matter.  The few exceptions he made to that rule were his to enforce.  This is not ‘MY’ site, this is “YOUR” site.  WE are the custodians of what was created here and I am little more than the maintenance man.  If I do not return your email…send another one.  If I do not post something you really want posted…tell me again.  If I do something that hurts your feelings or upsets you…let me know.  I can promise you if I do, that was not my intent.  If you are expecting me to act as if any of it bothers me…you have a long wait ahead of you.   Call me anytime, if it goes to voicemail I am probably doing something else and I doubt you what to know anything about it.

    I wish all of you a wonderful and safe weekend.  Thank you for all of your support.

  • Army reinstates at least 36 discharged immigrants

    Cert
    The Army Times reports at least three dozen immigrant recruits who were booted from the U.S. Army after enlisting with a promised pathway to citizenship are being brought back to serve, according to court records filed Monday.

    Since Aug. 17, the U.S. Army has reinstated 32 reservists, and revoked discharge orders of another six enlistees who had sued. Another 149 discharges have been suspended and are under review, said Army Assistant Deputy for Recruiting and Retention Linden St. Clair, in the filing.

    The reinstatements follow an Associated Press story in early July that revealed dozens of immigrant enlistees were being discharged or had their contracts cancelled. Some said they were given no reason for their discharge. Others said the Army informed them they’d been labeled as security risks because they have relatives abroad or because the Defense Department had not completed background checks on them.

    They had enlisted under the Military Accessions Vital to the National Interest program, known as (MAVNI), to increase the number of soldiers with critical language or medical skills.

    The reinstatements come weeks after the Army reversed course, suspending the discharges at least temporarily.

    Immigrants willing to serve in any branch of the military deserve a shot at US citizenship. Most of these were refused because of over-due background checks- no fault of theirs. Glad to see they’re getting a second chance.

  • The “Like Button” status.

    The “Like Button” status.

    59% of those who cared about our community voted and said it was a “Brilliant move”

    26% of you do not care about “anything”.

    14% admitted that they “Hate Everything”.

    The add-on I was using  avoided some of the issues related to Disqus and was only good for a 7 day trial period.  There is somebody who claims to be a Capt in the Corps that thinks I took them down because he is Dickish.  Although he does appear to be somewhat Dickish…rest assured it had nothing to do with them not appearing.

    Adding and/or changing addons does interfere with other features on a site.  In this case it only bothered a few things we needed stopped anyway.  We will most “Like”ly  put them back in  the near future.

    If you have suggestions, feedback, concerns, or general outrage…keep it to yourself for the time being.  Soon you will be able to rant away like never before.  Some guy named Dallas keeps sending me mail wanting to know if everything is alright around here.  I have assured him that we are all doing just fine and not to worry.  He seems skeptical.

    The new

    Thank you for your support.
    Button is up and running.  Any funds that were in Jonn’s account were given to his family.  I hope everyone agrees that was the correct thing to do.  So, we start from scratch.  I hate asking for money almost as bad a I hate posers…but it is what it is.
    Thank you for your support.
    So, there it is.Please do not give too much, save some for food and other particulars.
    Thank you for your support.
    Here it is again.  We will probably squander it foolishly while tracking down those who bring disgrace to everything you hold dear.
    It does not matter which button you click on, I don’t think you can give more than $10,000 at a time though.  I suggest you come back several days in a row to compete that kind of transaction.
    Thank you for your support.
    Jonn paid the hosting fees and  legal bills current for this year.  There are of course many other things we have to pay for during the year.  We have and will continue to pay most of those expenses out of our own pockets.  We appreciate all the support so many of you give to the cause.  Please do not ever forget that participating in this community by posting  is the biggest gift you can give.  Without all of you, anything we do is meaningless.
    We are open for suggestions about what we should give to people based on an individuals generosity.  Autographed photo of TSO in the Buff?  A nice picture of Hondo’s shoes?  A few quarts of EX-Ph2’s gravy?  Maybe the Soviet will chip in.  Just let me know what we can do.  We aims to please.

  • Thank you

    I want to take this opportunity to thank everyone who contributed to us this year – this is the second year in a row that our readers paid our rent. I also want to thank the folks who snail-mailed us checks – I just deposited them earlier this week. They don’t get an email “Thank you”, so here’s their thank you.

    For that price we have our own server and dedicated support staff – the best.

    Since I paid the last of our legal bills last month, we might just end this year in the black.
