  • Gen X Man Errors in Judgement, Gets Paddled on the Rear by Young Whipper Snappers

    Real deal, or satire?

    When someone from Generation X, or the older generations, talks about getting paddled when they were younger, it’s usually by someone that was older. If we committed a serious enough action that dictated a butt whoppen, we increased the chances for a butt beating.

    Well, a 45-year-old man exercised such error in judgment, and ended up getting paddled in the rear by members of a younger generation.

    I was in a social fraternity during my first attempt at collage, going through the pledge phase, then initiation into the fraternity. No paddles were involved, but we had a wading pool outside the fraternity house that we constantly got tossed into… Regardless of what part of the year it was.

    Although fraternity life was fun when I did it, I wouldn’t do it now, at my age… I’m older than the guy featured in this article.

    Of course, at 45, he should’ve known better even if he never had fraternity experience. He has a couple of teenage sons, and he had to remember his mindset when he was a teenager, and when he was a young adult.

    He was doing the equivalent of being a senior NCO that decides to “go native with the privates”.

    From the New York Post:

    A middle-aged Brooklyn man told cops he paid a painful price for pledging a fraternity at the ripe old age of 45 — by getting whacked on the backside hundreds of times with a wooden paddle, police sources said Friday.

    Well, let’s see. He decided that he wanted to join a fraternity. He goes through the process, and ends up with young whipper snappers whacking his backsides with a paddle. The bruising was serious enough that he went to the hospital to get treatment. Then, this led to him talking to the police.

    Didn’t he see Animal House?

    That’s when they went more medieval than Greek on his heinie, whacking it up to 200 times with the paddle and their open hands, according to the sources.

    Well, in certain sectors of society, “going Greek” means a back-door entry via the pooper. So, this guy would’ve been f’ed either way.

    On a side note, Pew Research has decided they will use 1996 as the last year that Millennials were born. This means that the youngest millennial will turn 22 before the ball drops this coming New Year’s Day.

    So, chances are that there were those among the paddlers who are members of Generation Z.

    Because of the nature of what happened, I’m entertaining the possibility that this could be satire. if not, we’re familiar with “Teh Stoopid”.

  • Monday Musings Open Thread

    There are times when I look into the junk folder, or trash folder, to see which troll didn’t make the cut. Or, the post of someone that got deleted from the thread. As you guys have already suspected, there are people that simply don’t like us.

    For example, we had the sock puppet wannabe that acted as a “champion” for a recent Blast From The Past “winner”, who made multiple attempts to post. Using different usernames, and emails, this individual attempted to slip through the initial review. The plan was to go on to being a troll without the need for moderation.

    Reading these rejected postings is like watching someone put objects, of different shapes, into a ball with holes matching each of the objects. Then, this person grabs a star object, and consistently tries to push it through the circle hole. Having no success, this person picks up a square shaped object, and repeatedly attempts to push it through the circle hole.

    Then, they finally pick up the circle object, but attempt to push it into the star hole.

    I’m going to post the comments here, that didn’t make the cut, under the moniker “Non Compos Mentis”.

    Our first quote is from someone that’s a shining example of what an NPC is. This person is also very triggered. The mainstream media spreads propaganda, in this case, “Orange man bad!” Then they see how much of an effect their propaganda is having on their audience.

    It’s like that saying about slinging stuff to the wall, and seeing what sticks. Well, this person shows that something stuck:

    Yes, this next sock puppet ended up with a post in the trash. But, what you guys don’t see with this comment doesn’t take away from what you guys already know. It’s like a phony, featured here over two years ago, that claimed to be a combat wounded veteran. He liked saying, “Ass whole”, wrote in “all caps”, then used one of his sock puppets to tell his other sock puppet how this phony “showed” him a “whuppin”.

    So, here’s a phony putting himself on a pedestal:

    I personaly served with Non Compos Mentis 03 and an attest to his claims. He was a valued member of our unit and has risked life and limb to serve his country. He performed most clandestine operations for his country and risked it all more than once. I would back off if I was you because this guy was known to be a lose canon able ad ready to go off at a flicker of a chance. Just a friendly advice.

    In this next post, he removes the suck poppet and posts under his actual identity. He tries to sound like a “lawer”, attempts to insult our intelligence, attempts to come across as “educated”, etc. Like the guy above who kept saying “ass whole”, this individual talked about us being at our mother’s place.

    This guy resorted to insults, because whatever was said about him destroyed his ego, and his phony persona:

    All this effort when all they had to do is to go by what they’ve actually accomplished. Many of these individuals have a track record that they’re not proud off. Not being accomplished after the military leaves them with a desire to amplify their military service.

    They put in the effort to build a phony persona… Instead of doing something constructive like changing the very attitude that’s causing them to keep falling short in life. After being exposed here, they prove to us why they have a track record that they’re not proud off.

  • Army Officer Insults Air Force Officer-Gets Banned From Twitter-Guest Post by JAGC

    Guest post by JAGC follows.

    F&$cknuckles. That “word” is the source for the latest controversy in military-oriented social media circles. Apparently, a company commander at Fort Benning got into a Twitter tiff with an Air Force officer. One thing led to another and “f$&knuckles” happened. The Army captain ultimately got banned from Twitter. Online mourning ensued.

    Now, I’m not a social media guy. But I recently completed two books and a literary agent advised me to start using Twitter. Soon, I was introduced to a world of anonymous military members–mostly staff officers–who apparently post on Twitter All. The. Time. It’s amazing anything gets done.

    To be fair, their snark is well placed. It’s a good mix of male and female Soldiers with a wide array of experience and knowledge. There’s everything from military historians to PAOs. And of course the Fort Benning company commander of f$&knuckles fame. Their pointed (and numerous) observations of military life is mostly spot on. I’ve even learned some things about military history. They’re also kind of funny.

    Which brings me back to CPT f$&knuckles. I believe the online argument started over another officer’s vaguely controversial critique of an unnamed NCO. Soon, the venerable Army WTF! Moments picked up on things. And since this is Twitter and the military, you know there’s a barracks lawyer somewhere in this story. Well, the barracks lawyer shows up and issues a strongly worded (and super wrong) assessment about a UCMJ violation. That only escalated the online tension, such as it was.

    With digital blood pressure boiling, the Air Force guy ranted about something. The Army Captain retorted in kind. The Air Force guy got even angrier. So the Army Captain called the Air Force guy “f$&knuckles.” Air Force guy reported him to the Twitter police. Bam! Banned from Twitter. An anonymous LTC even broke the news.

    Why should any of us care about this? We shouldn’t. It’s stupid.

    But on Twitter, this is thing. The mildly-offended military Twitter masses argue that Twitter is being extremely hypocritical and wrong. Indeed, Nazis and all sorts of shady creatures’ inflammatory remarks are allowed to troll around on Twitter. There’s even apparently several guys with variations of the “f$&knuckle” moniker. Yet CPT f$&knuckles got banned. In that sense, their complaints have merit.

    But in the grander scheme, CPT f$&knuckles will probably just do what others do and start a new account. But is there a military bias with the people running Twitter? After all, the Captain got suspended for calling a guy “f$&knuckles” while there are stories abound of others purportedly wanting to “kill the Jews” getting to keep their accounts. Or perhaps the real question is, why do people keep using Twitter? Like quicksand, it looks innocuous enough. But once you step right into it, you’re stuck. And it makes people really angry. Why keep going back?
