  5. way to go, yep, we need things like that you never know... strange times Russia, China, North Korea, old Yugoslavian countries, Belarus, on and on, heck even issues in SOUTH AMERICA are going on. HAM radio is one of those old fashioned, opps maybe we need it cause this happened, sort of handy devices that come in handy if/when needed. And, learning Morse Code, other languages, having hard copies of everything important in a fire safe, etc. etc. etc. doesn't hurt now does it? Bug out bag - keep one, why not? https://www.mddionline.com/rd/how-survive-zombie-apocalypse and this --> https://bugoutbagacademy.com/free-bug-out-bag-list/

  11. oh, I thought this joke was going to be about Trump. No joke, I was really surprised. About the above, folks come in all colors, sizes, beliefs, what some think is ugly is pretty to others. Honestly, isn't everyone a bit of a "freak" to others? Off to look for a freak song --> let's dance! https://www.yorkdispatch.com/story/opinion/editorials/2022/12/19/with-his-trading-card-scam-trump-goes-from-national-threat-to-national-joke/69740496007/
  12. I like the idea of the hydrogen powered cars, etc. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Water-fuelled_car#:~:text=Water-fuelled cars have been,be tied to investment frauds.
  13. eh? I am ready for a new game, I dunno what new stuff is out there. Tanks, dunno about it, but with BF games I sure did have fun running around in tanks. Give details and I'll check it out.
  14. That makes me happy recycle, reuse, repurpose, redo and good for you!
  15. YEHAW! NOW GET BACK IN THOSE MAPS SOLDIER!
  16. I have been watching the footage via you tube about the war events going on in Ukraine, this situation is reminding me so much of not only WW2 but of even WW1 History dag gone it, repeats itself, with different names, different parties, different places, but same old horribleness, pain suffering and WHAT THE HELL FOR, so a dictator can play RISK for reals? I sure do hate it when a dictator / dictator wannabees like Trump, for example, have charge of a complete army to make do whatever the heck they want for whatever stupid reason. Way I figure it now, as soon as Putin gives up, he is a dead man, so he is not interested in ending this nightmare otherwise he proves that indeed he was wrong and is wrong as the head of Russia. Dangerous times. Let us learn from the past so we can make wise decisions moving forward/and voting. Bless us all. Below will be a link about DDAY speech imho is pertinent to what is going on today or maybe soon in Ukraine, Taiwan, South Korea ... Serious post, serious subject.
  17. Wow, what took you so long? j/k CONGRATS
  18. bonjour and.... HOWDY
  19. oh, guy humor. lol I saw your post title and immediately went to the World War 2 the famous quote "NUTS" when during battle of bulge they were asked if they wanted to give up and surrender. So this thread is so not about what I thought it was going to be about. Colonel Gaston Bell: General McAuliffe refused a German surrender demand. You know what he said? General George S. Patton: What? Colonel Gaston Bell: "Nuts!" Patton: [laughing] Keep them moving, colonel. A man that eloquent has to be saved. Francis Ford Coppola and Edmund H. North, in Patton (1970), depicting Patton leading three divisions towards Bastogne. On Dec. 22, four German couriers approached American lines under a flag of truce, carrying a message "from the German commander to the American commander." Asserting that Bastogne was "encircled," the note gave McAuliffe, who was acting commander of the 101st in the absence of Maj. Gen. Maxwell Taylor, two hours to surrender or face "total annihilation." It offered "the privileges of the Geneva Convention" to the would-be POWs. What came next would be one of World War II's seminal moments. As [Vincent] Vicari, McAuliffe's personal aide, recalls it 60 years later, "General Mac read the note and said, 'Aw, nuts.' Then he asked, 'What should I tell them?' " Lt. Col. Harry W. O. Kinnard, the division operations officer, said, "Why not tell them what you just said?" "What did I just say?" "You said, 'Nuts,' " Kinnard replied. McAuliffe scribbled a reply: "To the German commander. Nuts! From the American commander." He handed the message to Lt. Col. Joseph Harper, who had escorted the couriers. To the Germans who didn't understand the Yankee colloquialism, Harper explained: "It means the same thing as 'Go to hell.' " While World War II historian Barry Turner says McAuliffe's one-word riposte "lost something in translation," others have speculated that "nuts" might be a sanitized version of what the tough paratroop general actually said. Not so, Vicari says. "General Mac was the only general I ever knew who did not use profane language," he said in a telephone interview. " 'Nuts' was part of his normal vocabulary."
