@PecanC8 Fish-o-matic!!!

I'll admit I had no idea what this is. Do you?

Had a pool. (My motto: gotta have one. But will never have another one.) Owned several motorcycles. Was willing to take the resale hit in exchange for many hours of great riding pleasure, multiple cross-country trips, etc. But I'll never have another one now that my neighborhood/city is so crowded. Built a hot tub - my bride demanded it. Huge waste. Now my bride would throw a fit if I attempted to build another one. (I won't.) Owned sports cars. Great fun to work on, great fun to drive. Huge money pit. I'll never buy another one. Men and our toys: expensive buys. Sometimes they're hobbies, but the other times they're just trinkets. I've often thought: would I have been better off to have rented those motorcycles? Rented power boats? Made frequent trips to public pools? Answer: Nope. Some things can only be learned through personal experience.

This is Bob and he has some advice from all his years of experience. This is what not to buy according to Bob. Don’t buy an RV, don’t buy a boat, don’t buy a motorcycle and don’t buy a hot tub. He says they are a waste of money, a lot of upkeep, you never use them as much as you think you will and they have a terrible resale value and depreciate. A lot of people said Bob has had his fun and now he wants to spoil the fun for others. 😂 Many others said they appreciated him sharing his experience and agreed with him. He said if you can’t eat it then you don’t need it. 😂 So in essence, don’t be like Bob. Agree or disagree- I love the way Bob tells a story. 💯 I’ve had a boat, I’ve had a motorcycle, I’ve had a hot tub and I can confirm that I didn’t use them as much as I thought I would and always had issues with them. What do you think? Do you think Bob is spot on or do you think he’s full of it?

@Ford_Nick No such thing around my house.

Serious question: what do you do with leftover steaks?

@MbarkCherguia Early 1950s.

Based on the entirety of this photograph, what is your best estimation of the year it was taken?

Additionally, the baserunner was touched by one or more teammates before he touched home plate (assuming he ultimately DID touch home plate). Those touches ALSO trigger the umpire's "out" call - a runner is out if a teammate or coach touches the runner while a play can be made on the runner. So, there's another reason why teammate celebrations at home plate can be fatal.

The baserunner (who was on base when the batter hit it over the fence) never touched home plate, so he remained a baserunner. Once the batter touched home plate, he was out because he "passed" the baserunner. Ump's ruling was correct. Kids will learn the consequences of uncontrolled/undisciplined celebration. I've seen something similar in a major league game several years ago. The batter hit a home run but - with his teammates surrounding him in celebration - the batter never touched home plate. Then he went into the dugout. Ump ruled (correctly) the batter was out. Umps are obligated to uphold the rules, regardless the consequences or circumstances.

This umpire was calling a 9U baseball game. A player came up to bat and hit a home run. What happened next is anyone’s guess. Most are saying the umpire blew up after he lost his mind and robbed a 9 year old of a home run. What do you think the call should be? Do you think k he blew it big time or do you agree with the call?

@PeriklesGREAT Chinag Mai, Thailand and the small nearby towns. Spectacular scenery and historical sites...

One place everyone should go?? 🤔

@Geniustechw I keep expecting the one in the middle to stick out a forked tongue.

Liberals are now making videos in a desperate attempt to ‘intimidate’ MAGA… How does this make you feel?

@PeriklesGREAT They each have cojones, and need to wear a jockey strap.

What do these four have in common?

@PeriklesGREAT Brown shoes NEVER go with black/grey clothes.

What is wrong with this picture ?

@PeriklesGREAT Strawberry Alarm Clock.

What does he have on his 8-Track ? 🎸🎵🎹🎻🥁

If money were no object, which house would you restore? I’d choose C.

If aliens requested a meeting with a sole individual to represent the human race, whom should we send?

@end3of6days9 Waiting in line. It's the American way (and the courteous way, but I repeat myself).

You’re right there in the middle of the busy Sam’s rotisserie line where people are patiently waiting their turn to grab a hot chicken. The worker slides two fresh chickens toward two women, but the one woman snatches the second chicken and slides it forward saying “she was here before you”. Was the woman who snatched the chicken completely in the wrong, or do you think she was justified in any way? The practical truth is that how we treat each other in those small, everyday moments — like waiting in line — really shows who we are. A little patience and respect can keep the peace… or one quick move can stir up the whole counter.

Next, you'll tell us that they also walked barefooted to and from flight school in the middle of winter, uphill both ways. Sorry, but flying at 160 knots and 50 feet above the ground at 2 am on a cloudy night, relying solely on NVGs, is not to be ignored. My son crewed and maintained 160th birds, and his stories are very interesting. I'm a Vietnam vet and served along the Thai/Burma border in 1972-73. Rode in Hueys through the jungle highlands of NE Burma, so I'm familiar with the terrain. My generation's pilots were fantastic, but they don't compare to the 160th guys.

Well I see the skill required but frankly I still think back to the 20th Special Operation Squadron flying our support at MAVC/SOG CCS Ban Me Thuot, Vietnam in 1969. Those guy's flight and fighting skills were of another world they almost acted as ground based weapon support teams in close in fighting and frankly that is how we thought of them. They saved countless recon teams in a highly classified part of the Vietnam conflict.

160th SOAR Black Hawk offloads operators on a rooftop without needing to land. The precision and skill of these elite pilots never fails to impress. They are simply the best at what they do.

@specialopsmag The 160th crew had it down. But their pax were very slow and sloppy exiting the Blackhawk.

@TXHappens Ma HAY a. Or even Ma HAIR (some locals used to say it that way).

Y'all is this right!?!?! 🤠🤠🤠😂😂😂 #texas #names #mispronounced

@TXHappens BURN it.

@TXHappens Wok sa HATCH ee. So said my great grandparents who were born near there in the 1800s. Good enough for them, good enough for me.
