Too Funny…

This one tipped over the gigglebox…

One of the horses I rode as a kid on my uncle’s ranch was ‘persnickety’ about his hooves, and was a dainty stepper…  Pablo was the ONLY person on the ranch that horse would let inspect his hooves, or re-shoe him.  Anybody else, it was Katy bar the door!!!

 

Another ‘flash’ mob…

This is one I honestly can say I never thought I’d see…

And I loved the reactions…

IF that were done here, some lefties or atheists would be raising holy hell about separation of church and State!!!

Sigh…

Worth another look…

I was reminded of this by an email on the mil email today…

A different time, and sure as hell a different man than the one there today…

Much like his father, W had no qualms about talking to the ‘little people’…

And we were a better country then than now…

YGTBSM!!!

This Will Make Your Day!  She has 10 children from the same guy who gets arrested so she has no income and it is OUR responsibility to take care of her???

They are paying her rent, providing her furniture and she says it is not enough.  She says to us somebody ought to be held accountable, look in the mirror sweetheart…

What the hell has happened to our country???

Back in the Day…

Hours and HOURS of doing this stuff…

Bonus points if you can guess what kind of ship that is…

Inbound

This was always the ‘fun’ shot… Right over the top and hope to hell they didn’t stuff ‘something’ up your ass as your went over…MOT

And those were ‘roughly’ at 200 feet off the water…

And an ‘unusual’ view of a drop to provide something to a ship at sea…

ADDs dropIf the crew was really ‘good’ the boat didn’t even have to put a small boat in the water, they could just use a boathook to pick up the package…

We did one in 1976 for a Tall Ship for some medicine and they wanted it ‘close aboard’…

If I remember correctly, it ended up in the rigging… 🙂

 

Light blogging and commenting…

Gotta make a speed run down to check on the house, and teach a basic pistol class this weekend…

Light blogging and commenting, so don’t feel insulted if I’m not commenting…

Plenty of good folks on the sidebar that are much better than I am!

Another ‘celebrity’ bites the dust…

P.S Hoffman is dead by his own hand, and now everybody wonders WHY???

Simple…  No control, and enablers that can’t or won’t say NO!  They don’t want to jeopardize their access to that easy money… It was NOT a tragedy, it was blatant stupidity!!!

A good article HERE from the The Independent in the UK that runs down the litany of current trained monkeys who’ve gone down that particular rathole…

Bottom line, just like athletes and musicians, they ‘believe’ they can do no wrong, and the laws (criminal and probability) don’t apply to them.  Hollyweird, musicians and pro athletics have long been hotbeds of drug abuse, simply because of the money and availability in those arenas…

I don’t have ANY sympathy for him or any of the others… Destroying your life because you can get away with it, and destroying your family is NOT something that should be lauded or condoned…  What do his kids do now???  How do THEY deal with daddy offing himself in the bathroom with a hot shot???

Frankly, I think those enablers that contribute to these deaths should be charged!  At least the doctor in the Jackson case actually got charged…  I just wonder how long it will be before Lohan, Bieber, and many of the others will be cooling on a slab somewhere…

HERE is a link to deaths by drugs that is fairly interesting to read through… Especially the profession and the ’cause’ of deaths…

Changed my mind…

I was going to rant on the BS going on, but you know what?  It’s just NOT worth it…

So… Some edumacashun for y’all…

Each of the different colors contains one BILLION people…

1 billion per area

THIS is an eye opener…  And not necessarily in a good way…Highest paid

Something more interesting (at least to me)… All the rivers in the USA.Rivers

Now THIS is interesting, all the rivers that feed into the Mississippi…  No wonder the Mississippi has as much power as it does!Rivers into Miss

 

Now this is an eye opener… This map shows (in red, orange, and yellow) the world’s largest donors of MONETARY foreign aid with red being the biggest donor…Foreign aidAnybody notice anything interesting about that??? Like ZERO foreign aid from ANY muslim country???  And I’m not even going to get into the military foreign aid… Of course that would mostly be US, Russia, France, Germany and Cuba…

Now back to your regularly scheduled BS…

It’s ALL about perspective…

Mount Sinabung volcano located in Indonesia’s Sumatra island has a current death toll of 14…

And this has been going on since September!!!

volcano eruption

Gee wonder how many years of carbon credits are being used with this obvious unlicensed emission of pollutants?   According to estimates I have read that just two days of an eruption on this scale places over SEVEN years of equivalent pollutants into the atmosphere as created by the world’s human population.  

So what are to do when some say we should pay much higher energy costs as well as dozens of world and local carbon footprint taxes for man to stave off global climate change and then have nature offset years of so called progress for a multi-day burp from just one of hundreds of active volcanoes in the world?  

Global climate change, sure, but in what direction???  

But man’s contributions can’t be the primary source nor can  man clean it up to the point it is reversible, the science is just not there for that if one folds in ocean currents, air currents, solar cycles and weather cycles then add man’s source as the only that needs adjusting.

And another one…

Just because it’s old, doesn’t mean it can’t go boom!!!

I can’t count the stupidity in this one…

Construction workers found the mine lying on the beach, according to nieuws.nl, and used the bucket of an excavator to move the old mine right along. Because Dutch excavator drivers are braver than you.

The local bomb squad decided to detonate the mine right there on the beach rather than take the risk of attempting to defuse it.P

Next time you see an old bomb from World War II, run. Run like hell. And run further than 20 feet.
