@EdgeCGroup I think you meant the “wrong skater.”

Jonny Kim is badass.

This is absolute gold.

The U.S. Navy produced a 1967 dating etiquette film called How to Succeed with Brunettes. It hilariously shows what not to do before demonstrating the right way.

There's some timeless advice in this clip. Check it out!

Why can’t you just upgrade the hog? Soup it up, make it sweeter, faster, deadlier. Probably not an airframe to toss aside.

[A-10 Thunderbolt II "Warthog" @A10TheHog]

The A-10 was featured in the desert battle of Transformers. Would have been nice to see them save the day, but the AC-130 takes the credit.

We'll chalk it up to teamwork. 😅

@03MarineGrunt Dude, it’s wild how many grunts have their minds wrapped around Nietzsche, Kant, Aquinas, Dali, etc. I had a conversation once with a young killer about Joseph Campbell and archetypes as they pertain to war. They’re the best.

@howcoryseesit OMG. “the booze!” The VFW literally was founded to give you the benefits you reap today. You don’t like cheap beer? Then have a coffee, play some bingo and have a conversation with the old breed. Maybe you’ll learn something… better yet, maybe you’ll take a leadership role there

@ghostofuptown @cantguardjake What a d*ckhead this guy.

COLONEL: Marine! What is that you’ve put on that hot dog?

JOKER: Ketchup and yellow mustard, sir.

COLONEL: You get a perfectly good hot dog and put both ketchup AND mustard on it. What’s that supposed to be, some kind of sick joke?

JOKER: No, sir.

COLONEL: You’d better get your head and your ass wired together, or I will take a giant shit on you.

JOKER: Yes, sir.

COLONEL: Now answer my question or you’ll be standing tall before the man.

JOKER: I think I was trying to suggest something about the duality of man, sir.

COLONEL: The what?

JOKER: The duality of man. The Jungian thing, sir.

COLONEL: Whose side are you on, son?

JOKER: Our side, sir.

COLONEL: Don’t you love your country?

JOKER: Yes, sir.

COLONEL: Then how about getting with the program? Why don’t you join the mustard team and come on in for the big win.

JOKER: Yes, sir.

COLONEL: Son, all I’ve ever asked of my Marines is that they obey my orders as they would the Word of God. We are here to help the Iranians because inside every Persian there is an American trying to get out. It’s a hardball world, son. We’ve gotta keep our heads until this Heinz craze blows over.

JOKER: Aye aye, sir.
