I doubt anything since this is cross posted from the EDC blog and happens to be a persons personal kit.

Bah! I'll say it. How can you trust a menu hack by someone who's apparently ignorant of the fact that Big Mac's have pickles.

Its not a technicality... its precision. We did not declare war, just like we did not declare war on the Philippines when its "citizens" decided they didn't like us being in charge. I can't help it if its more convenient for historians to couch it in language that makes it sound like formal war was declared, but it…

Except that we formerly did declare war on Japan Dec 8, 1941. Whereas Joseph Finn is correct that we never did declare war on the South. Think of it as a police action or riot control... vs a very organized group of rioters armed with Cannon and modern (for the times) rifles. We didn't so much declare war as defend…

I just showed the pictures to my wife while she was on the phone with her sister and she went into near convulsions while trying to not squeal. Here in Juneau, ak we have a neighborhood porcupine that's walked up to us on a few occasions (like within inches) he or she also makes cute truffling noises in the autumn.…

Oh I know, and frankly it's just a hat ... A real ranger wouldn't care what some schmoe puts on his head.

Damn you Shinseki!

And us Coasties are sailors too... And proud of it!

possibly... do people not use yonder there too?

And then she dropped the bombshell: "I've got about eight pairs of shoes and that's it," before following up that statement with: "But it's easy for me to sound like a total hypocrite because, of course, I'm dressed in designer clothes right now." ... the full quote does make her less preachy.

She's just stating an opinion, not sending Paris to ze death camps.

My moms from that region and she uses it all the time. In VA we also use it all the time.

Thanks that clears it up a little better I did mean the complaint which is a horrifying read of a bad office environment. If true the whole Dean "empire" is awful. Deans not really helping by going on TV and saying stuff like "I am who I am" though. She either needs to say that the complaint is a lie, or that she made…

Really? I read the deposition yesterday. Dean said she wanted the black servers at her brothers wedding to be dressed like they were back in the plantation days (i.e. as house slaves), and then said but we cant do that cause the public would crucify us... thats pretty racist. Its also totally self aware of the fact…

Its quasi faked. She turns it up and down to suit her.

The general public matters less to her than her Smithfield Ham contract, and the Food Network gig.

Totally agree with you too. Survivor of Catholic and Episcopal schools here and that sums up my Catholic education nicely. Except I had a marriage unit where some of us had to carry around sacks of flour everywhere. A lot of those kids ended up preggers right out of Highschool (only a couple in though) I do remember…

She has her own changing room. The talk happens outside of the locker room, but is still called locker room talk. Basically rather than tell the boys to clean up their language he told her to hit the showers.

Its just a tradition is just code for "if I had to do it I want someone else to do it so I dont have to look so stupid for having gone through this."
