It's oddly true. Down Periscope truly captures the submarine life of fuck ups and rejects coming together

I always find it amazing how comedies tend to be some of the most accurate ones, (Down Periscope for sub movies, My Cousin Vinny for law movies.)

Balls is just a numbers of zeros. Reactor plant valve manual had 4 zeros in the manual number... also known as the 4-balls manual. Still use this today. IF I read off a serial number to someone and there a group of zeros together... 7007 is 7 2-balls 7.

Know why I love cars?

Jerry Seinfeld said it well, and here I’m paraphrasing: “You’re indoors and outdoors, moving and standing still, all at the same time. That’s really something.”

But more than that, they can make you FEEL things.

Physically adult, mentally adolescent:

One time, I was driving my buddy and his girlfriend to a party. She was so horny she dragged him into the back seat while I was driving. Being a gentleman, I whacked off quietly as I drove.

Well done.

This, right here, is why Jalopnik will always be great, no matter how much the editors, Gawker Media, or Nick Denton himself might try to fuck it up.

“I would like to buy your [insert $25,000 car here]. I have great credit - like a 459 - and I make good money - $900/mo on disability and $3000 on the side for which I get paid cash and have no proof of. I also have a suspended license, so you’ll have to put it in my girl’s name, but she don’t work, and the insurance…

My husband was on the San Juan <his first boat was the USS Spadefish SSN668 and he also was on the USS Miami SSN755> and it is always interesting to hear other opinions about the sub service. I know I had a blast on a tiger cruise except for the very annoying weapons officer so I went and hung out in machinery 1 with…

I bet he throws down a mean slider

The first rookie mistake here was her not recognizing that she was holding up lap traffic and not choosing a passing line. The second was getting pissed at the racer she was fucking over with her ignorance. The third was jumping out of her race car like a goddamn idiot after she wrecked her own car and running onto a…

You’re being lapped by the #2 racer. You know, the one that is actually in a position to win without you taking a blocking line? Get the fuck out of the way.

Her ass looks great in that race suit unlike Danica Patrick who looks like a 2x4

Excellent point, glad someone is taking this seriously.

There is still no plane more sexy than then the old F-14 “Turkey”.

This really is the world cup of spam and we’re issuing a red card.

Some people want to go fast in a straight line. Some people want everyone to on the internet to know thye drive a bimmer??? Enjoy!

Former fast boat guy here. I agree with pretty much everything you said. Sounds like a whiny nub who was overwhelmed by his first patrol. For someone who admittedly doesn’t know much, and is pretty low ranking in the pecking order, seems to jump to a lot of conclusions about parts of the ship he knows nothing about.

Okay, I read most of it. I was on a Trident sub years ago and I can tell you this guy is mostly full of shit.

Right, unions were pretty important in the past, nobody’s arguing that. But in 2015 they’re pretty unnecessary.
