Won at gay bar poker last night. Also won 5 free shots by winning hands I went all in on. I'm very sick this morning.

A cookbook titled, "CTA Heatlamp Cookbook" is on a wooden table. The cover of the book pictures three rotisserie chickens spinning under a platform heater.

my commandant told me that a sniper keeps shooting the men assigned to the machinegun covering the mairie so i asked how many men he has assigned and he said three so i said it sounds like he's just feeding men to the sniper and his unteroffizer started crying

Purchased Defeat at Sea recently, covering WW2 from the perspective of the German navy. Here's an excerpt that made me laugh. For context, this was said as 3 German attack boats faced off against the D-Day invasion fleet of several hundred ships.

It took 11 months to the day (primarily due to multiple school related books interceding), but I have FINALLY finished The Power Broker. Slowly but surely, I'll stop incessantly referencing it at every opportunity.

This assassination is a clear case of class warfare. A rich, out of touch Ivy Leaguer gunned down a hard working Midwestern public school alumni.

Sent me down a rabbit hole and found this very cool look at the "universal greeblie" ken-mcconnell.com/2017/01/05/i...
Once you know what certain parts look like, you start to ID them all over ILM models. The Cylon Raider was notorious for having highly recognizable greeblies. In this shot of the bottom of the model we can also clearly see other parts from the Leopold rail gun as well as tank treads, and many more. Can you spot the two UG’s on this model below?The studio scale model of the Cylon Raider from the original TV series had a few of these pieces on the wing attachment roots. Here is a shot of Moebius Model’s kit version that clearly shows them.You can find many references to these early ILM days in which modelers talk about a certain greeblie that seemed to be used just about everywhere. They called it the Universal Greeblie. I’ve heard Fon Davis and Adam Savage, both former ILM model makers, talk about this greeblie but was never able to actually see which part they were talking about. It took some researching but I eventually found out which model kit had the part and exactly what part they were talking about.

There was a model kit of the WWII German Leopold rail gun in 1/72 scale produced in the 70’s by Hasegawa, and this kit contained several dozen of these “Universal Greeblies”.This is what it looks like on the model tree.

100 years ago, you walked into the drug store with a list of items & the shopkeeper picked and packaged them for you. Now, we have to walk to each item's display and wait for the shopkeeper to unlock it for us. Efficiency!

i regularly read upsetting personnel files and the sexual harassment in the Mayor's office in Chicago is absolutely disgusting "It makes me deeply uncomfortable that [Ronnie Reese] takes my picture ID with him to the bathroom."

The comedy/novelty music scene has really taken a dive since the 1960s. Allan Shermans 'My Son, The Nut' in 1963 was the last comedy album to hit #1 until Weird Al's 'Mandatory Fun' came out in 2014.

I think a good Star Wars fic idea would be a Pentagon Wars-style comedy about the development of the AT-AT from its predecessor, the AT-TE.
