How should we know he hooked the whale?

When the whale makes a run, the fishing line will be pulled out so fast the reel will start smoking.

In my day, rod and gun competencies would be proven well before stepping on a deck or climbing onto a roof. Kids today.

In my day the ocean was uphill both ways. And we had to clean it with our tongues after we'd been in it.

...in Brazil

A military transport aircraft with a proper bathroom! I didn't think I'd live long enough to see the day. This could take the market for mid-size military transport aircraft away from Lockheed Martin for a number of reasons. Boeing would rather have done it; but, blew the opportunity. Worth a read, lots of pictures.

See inside the Brazilian C-390 Millennium that Boeing once wanted to buy but now doesn't have an answer to

C-1̶3̶0̶ 390 rolling down the strip
Airborne daddy gonna take a little trip
Jump-up, hook-up, shuffle to the door
Jump right out and count to four

If my chute don't open wide
I've got another one by my side
If that one don't open round
I'll be the first one to the ground...

Nonsense, toilets on the plane, heresy, against strategic principles .
Don't lighten the paratroopers, heavy men get to the ground faster than lighter ones.
Less chance of being picked off in the air.
Then lighten the load on landing by not tucking in the pant cuffs. ;o)

...Fort Worth, Texas -

An interesting situation there. At least IIRC it was interesting. I think it was in Ft. Worth. Ft. Worth is in Texas, isn't it? Am I posting this in the right thread? I'll still get credit for the post in my post count, right? Let's see now, where was I... oh yeah...

"'Missing' GOP Congresswoman Not Seen For Six Months Finally Found Living at Dementia Care Home"

NPR journalist Brian Mann added: "The story of 81-yr-old US Rep. Kay Granger reportedly living in a dementia facility while missing votes highlights need for better reporting on the aging of America's leaders. US lawmakers older than 70 now outnumber those under age 40 by more than 3-to-1."

It's good to be a US Representative for Fort Worth.

They talked about that on the Sunday morning shows today Lady Keryx was beside herself with disbelief.
All I can say is at least she couldn't get into trouble.

I read an article referring to all these folks from Pelosi to Granger as the Mothball Mafia. They need to go.

glatt · 12/24/2024 6:58 am

We seem to all be in agreement that the bad leaders from other states need to go. But that we like ours having experience and the power that comes from seniority.

I'll keep my governor, but you can take the rest of my "representation".

Some light holiday reading:

From The Canonical List Of Old ________ Never Die, They Just _______…

#191 - Old politicians never die, they just lose their hot air.

(I also particularly like numbers 7, 22, 25, 37, 50, 56, 74, 97, 175, 178, 200, 221, and 274.)

I wonder if Jimmy Carter will live long enough to once again be the only living one term president. He has until January 20th at 11:00 AM to kick the bucket.

Anon · 12/29/2024 4:52 pm

HE DID IT!

Died at age 100 according to the news today.

Now Trump is the only living one term president… for a little while anyway.

Is that a threat?

Will Democrats hire another hit man? Or will Putin?

Anon · 12/30/2024 11:01 pm

It’ll be Melania because The Donald is trading her in for a newer model. That’s right, Melania is 54 yo; but, Elon is only 53.

Who knew?

Anon · 1/16/2025 8:35 pm

… DC

Michelle isn’t going to Donald’s inauguration.

NO PARDONS FOR HER!

I heard he may deport her… back to Chicago. She’ll be like - Noooooo! Exile me to Venezuela, or North Korea, but don’t deport me back to Chicago!

Then Donald will have the Supreme Court sentence her to two or three terms as mayor of Chicago.

At some point during doing her time, she’ll likely go insane… like Rahm Emanuel.

I suppose there’s a price to pay for being a party pooper.

…much of the world,

HAPPY NEW YEAR!

It’s the Year of the Snake.

(Perhaps I should’ve put this in Politics.)

And you thought last year was a bad one.

Anon · 1/30/2025 12:40 am

Last year was bad, terrible, horrible, the worst ever, no good.

Last year was the Year of the Dragon. We slayed the dragon by feeding it snake oil.

…Punxsutawney, Pennsylvania,

Punxsutawney Phil sees his shadow, predicting 6 more weeks of California fires in 2025. Phil was planning to go to Hollywood to become a movie star; but, will remain in Pennsylvania for now and work on adding variety to his predictions.

…the US of A,

Penny for your thoughts… nuh-uh.
Putting in your two cents… not anymore.
Pennies from heaven… don’t even think about it.

The President has ordered the Treasury Department to stop minting One Cent coins (a.k.a. pennies). Has something to do with them costing 2.7 cents each to make.

Now we’re going to be more like… Canadians!

glatt · 2/10/2025 4:25 pm

wait, what? The president has done something I approve of?

Anon · 2/11/2025 5:17 pm

I think it’s a ruse. He may be secretly planning to introduce a new coin with his own likeness. It’ll be made of iron pyrite (a.k.a. fool’s gold) and it’s value will fluctuate annually, rounded to the nearest whole cent, to match its manufacturing cost though not to exceed four cents. He’ll call it the… Trumpenny.
