I assure though that very few people who get stationed at Drum actually want to be there. Those who say that are just BS’ing you to avoid committing suicide right after they get home. The 10th Mountain also a brigade at Fort Polk, LA, to round out the miserable garrisons they occupy. I say that as someone who lived in…

True that. The NYC summer blackout of 2002 (or was it 2003?) happened because some squirrel shorted a relay station somewhere in the Buffalo-Niagara area right? I spent a lovely week in my blacked out NYC apartment thanks to that squirrel.
That a shockingly huge number of Colts fans straight up just started rooting for Denver and wearing orange Peyton jerseys says all you need to know about the Colts “fan” base. I worked with an intern one summer who was like 200% Indiana pride distilled in a bottle, including all the moral sanctimony of the “real folks…
Atlanta can thank the US Army for the few non-Southern vistitors it gets. We stayed in the city in 2008 for a summer weekend during basic training at Fort Benning and walking around downtown, I have never been so underwhelmed by the evening “vibe” of a major metro city. It was so bad, I drank myself into a blackout at…
I’m a Niners fan living in the DMV. I get the worst of all worlds. FML.
Didn’t he leave his wife Kate Bigelow for Linda H? This guy’s been married 5 times. Maybe the marrying thing is not his thing. He should just do the French thing, live together for x years like a married couple, then voila, it’s over when you feel like it.
Grew up in Southern California as a Dodgers and Niners fan. Nobody I have ever known growing up was an actual Rams fan. I saw them on TV, I saw people walking around in occasional Jim Everett jersyes. Raiders fans, yes there were and remain many I know. Even the occasional fucking Chargers fan. But no Rams fans. And…
I’d never heard of that correlation. Obviously would not have been warned while in the Army. I got the Anthrax vaccine before I left for Afghanistan, but I don’t anecdotally know of any other vets or military colleagues who have been diagnosed with lymphoma. In my buddy’s case, I don’t know if its a genetic thing or…
Holy shit did this guy also replicate a model-scaled “BRRRRRRRRT” sound to go with the firing of the balls? TREMENDOUS!
Yeah no shit. A buddy of mine recently got diagnosed with advanced lymphoma of the more treatable variety. However, its advanced progression means it’s way more fear-of-death-inducing right now than anything he (or I) have ever faced. Both of us have been deployed to Afghanistan (he’s been to Iraq as well) and in my…
As a dude, and one who has (to my recollection) never “hey’d” after sex in my relatively un-prolific sexual history, but has seen some variation on this in emo romantic films and wondered why, will confidently speculate that this is all about telling the girl “I’m sensitive and willing to be present with you instead…
There is indeed a ton of tactial variation to be accounted for between the European medieval warfare and the mounted warfare of the near east and central Asian during the same period. Knights with heavy armor are not going to hold up very well on the Asian steppe against Mongol warriors. I think the Crusades show us…
Nah, I was pissed last year. Now I’m over it. All of it. The Niners are dead and done for maybe the next 15-20 years, possibly longer given Jed York's age. There's just no point to being pissed about something this awful.
The accounts she follows seems a VERY odd mix. There’s no way this is a real person. It is a person (possibly white) who has decided to create an alter ego or “nom de guerre” persona to wage culture war.
Hot, but true take. I pay due respect to Messi’s talents as a footballer, but in the “Messi v. Ronaldo” debate, I’ve lean toward Ronaldo. Messi strikes me as a guy who has crafted a better public persona, but is just as much of a cock as Ronaldo. But Messi's almost petulant response to Argentina’s Copa loss says tons…
I attended Yale in the late 90's. I was a working class Korean kid from a nowhere suburb in SoCal from a middling high school that was split between whites and Hispanics with maybe 10-15% Asians. Like a lot of Asian kids, I had a perfect honors GPA, near-perfect SATs and SAT IIs, mostly 5s on APs, captain of my…
Ben is nicely drunk in this clip. This just reminds me that pretending to be sober always fails miserably.
It’s like when Madridistas get up and applaud Messi after thrashing Real Madrid in the El Clasico. You have to just appreciate how good that was.
Landon Donovan should never be allowed to do commentary for games. He's so bad I'd take Ray Hudson over him. And Ray Hudson's nails on a chalkboard voice makes me homicidal.
