@flatland_sports Instead of “no kids” we but on the invites “so and so and guest” singular, except for family (cousins and the like) still had some rsvp for their whole crew which added to an already tight guest list/budget. Kind of irked me because of the catering cost

So "no kids" weddings are an insanely jerky thing to do, especially if you have friends and relatives with kids Bringing a baby (and also not removing them from the ceremony when they started crying) to a wedding that was already understood to be "adults only" is also an incredibly jerky thing to do.

@boomers_ass @MCCCANM Had this one on my flak in Iraq. On it was a “give a f” meter.

@MCCCANM And another

They are not official & are only worn as a “Friday Patch”, kind of a morale booster. You also got to wear a squadron colored T-shirt on Friday instead of the olive drab. Wait until you find out about the “Pencil Patches”.

@KensethFan17_20 @TrainWooden I’m old enough to remember “old Atlanta” being a true oval, and being at the 92 Hooters 500. 9yr old me didn’t understand what a Hooters girl was…but I liked what I saw. 🤣

@TrainWooden Bobby was genuinely one of the best ever drivers at old Atlanta. That pic of him running the high line, Gen 4 Pontiac, rubbered up track, it’s like watching the master at work

This guy is such a fucking tourist man. Guarantee you he knows nothing about what made the Bobby picture great. Just Jeff and Dale slop posting

@xbradtc Same with ammo. Was doing a machine gun range at Pendleton, dry, high fire danger, so they took all the tracers out and re-linked the belts. At the end of the day with fire standing by we shot off all the tracers, started a grass fire, police called then bounced.

Once issued for training, frag grenades cannot be returned to the Ammunition Supply Point. That means that after you're trained and qualified everyone, you have to expend any leftover grenades. Yeah, real tough gig. Last time I got stuck with this was in '94.

@The_HtownHusker Busch lattes aren’t the preferred beer down there tho. It’s more of miller/bud/coors light town.

Houston just had 2.6 MILLION people attend the Houston Livestock Show and Rodeo. Let's get real here. Houston is built for this shit

@astcbpe Wet market outside Osan airbase in Korea for sure had some in the case.

@TheJason1983 Same, tasted like chicken.

Pretty sure I’ve had Sweet and Sour Tabby before, or meow meow Gai pan. Regardless it was delicious.

@mikejoy500 According to a Cracker Barrel I visited there used to be good peaches there…

Upon further review...

@ASo1omons Red Back boots.

Has anyone found a comp/carbon/steel toe boot that fits as comfortably as a regular boot? I have a pair of Ariats and a pair of Keens and tried on another dozen varieties.

@MCCCANM If it ain’t @BoeingAirplanes I ain’t going. For real tho, I’m 6’4”, it’s exit row window or it’s a bad day. Never liked the ride of the Airbus.

The premium market is driving the airline industry at the moment. Delta & United have been the leaders in this regard…which is why they took nearly 100% of the U.S. industry’s profits last year. Doesn’t appear to be slowing down.

@SamHumphreys34 The oil drum

Okay Thunder Fans. What’s the nickname gonna be? Continental Coliseum is a sick name, don’t get me wrong, but eight syllables is a lot for radio.

@WMcluskey I’ve seen a pallet of compressed cardboard boxes that caught fire warp the exposed steel truss 9’ above it in a warehouse fire.

Where is this 4 inch reinforced steel as a solid plate in any of the places where the planes hit.? Notice he's ignoring that portion of it. Because if it's just columns and beams. Well, the burning jet fuel will weaken the integrity of those, especially with all of that weight of a building on top of it. Clever but one dimensional

@boomers_ass Planning the 747, building the 727, and starting production of the 737?

In 2025 Boeing built 14 KC-46s in ONE YEAR. In comparison, this charts shows how many (K)C-135s were built PER MONTH from July 1957 until July 1965. Anybody want to guess what they built in June and July of 1965?

@Itchykami @BredsguardDalen This is a cover of a great Jerry Reed song, who wrote and played the song Guitar Man that Elvis made a hit.

@BredsguardDalen I could name a thousand youtube.com/watch?v=o8eLl-…

Is this song the weirdest song from the 90s? I agree this was a weird one, but there were many more on that list. What is one you remember?

My first job in radio (outside of campus station KNTU at North Texas) was at a news/talk AM station in Denton (KDNT). In 1990 and 1991 the local Nebraska alumni group in DFW bought the airtime to put Nebraska radio football games on KDNT. I was the board op for most of the games and learning play by play. And Kent Pavelka (noted below as the longtime basketball voice of the Huskers) was doing the football games then. As a young guy starting to do play by play I learned a lot from his enthusiasm, passion, energy and vivid description. And that your fan base connects to someone who has an authentic investment in the outcome for the team you’re broadcasting. I’ve done some Nebraska football games on BTN and really should’ve met up with him for a coffee or a lunch to say thanks from someone you had a positive professional influence on you never met hundreds of miles away but those football weekends are packed full of a lot of work and little time for much else. Maybe I’ll get one this year and fix that! All of this is to say I sure am happy for the folks in Lincoln and the whole Nebraska community and especially for a broadcaster who has done a lot of games with great pride in the team and community he represents. It’s a huge reward and honor to broadcast games for a college or pro sports team and represent an organization regardless of the team’s results. But it sure is nice when you get to call the historic results too 😀. Congrats to Kent and the Huskers MBB program and keep it up!

@BDHerzinger Wiki says they are called “jazz-em”….but knowing the military that’s probably not the nickname.

The people that will fight the next war *wish* these were bombs.

@MCCCANM @US_OGA When did droopy go blonde?

The FAA defines how much a passenger & their carry-on bags weigh as a standard average for weight & balance calculations. If I recall correctly, it’s 190 lbs in the summer & 195 lbs in the winter. Let’s say 140 passengers. 140 x 190 =26,600. In their press release, they crow about delivering 6,000 lbs of aid. If they had just chartered a cargo jet & stayed home, they could have delivered more than 4x the cargo. The aid makes up less than a quarter of what the jet they chartered can carry, after fuel. These people are stupid & unserious, but I’m sure the Instagram posts of their vacation on donor’s money will get lots of likes.
