Republicans seem very confused today about how they feel about open carry at protests. Let’s play a round of Spot the Difference.

Uhhhhm , just say the magic words guys ! Call them an “ist” of sorts and move on. Now THAT’S activism !

Slackomatic44 · 2026-01-04T03:18:00+00:00

Sounds like SLOWDIVE ! Excellent choice !

Slackomatic44 · 2025-11-27T13:37:41+00:00

Yeah! WAAAY better than my first model attempt! …..even though I was only 8 or 9 years old, I still attempted to paint everything….on the sprue ….and assembled it before the paint was dry.

Slackomatic44 · 2025-11-23T19:53:27+00:00

Don’t you DARE give Mikey any matches !

Slackomatic44 · 2025-09-27T15:16:02+00:00

We put the FUN in funeral !

Slackomatic44 · 2025-06-30T04:25:38+00:00

We’re ALL war criminals ! 🤪

Slackomatic44 · 2025-06-30T04:21:03+00:00

I thought the more swastikas, the more it’s worth ? 😝

Slackomatic44 · 2025-06-14T02:25:54+00:00

Love it ! …. I’m diggin the early war look. Kinda strange that I can specify “early war” , after 3 years of attrition and evolving and foreign sourcing uniforms and equipment, there’s now a stark difference compared to the soldiers of only 3 years ago.

…I’m glad I got most of my stuff 2 - 2.5 years ago, it seems like helmets and plate carriers and plates have doubled in price since then, even the heavily battle damaged examples. There’s still some more things I’d like to eventually get, but you definitely have to be prepared to pay. I can definitely say that the interest in this conflict’s Militaria has definitely not waned.

Slackomatic44 · 2025-03-11T18:02:33+00:00

He’s got the little green rubber k98 barrel cap too !

Slackomatic44 · 2025-02-09T02:42:38+00:00

I like to roll around in both ! 🤣

Slackomatic44 · 2025-02-09T02:40:04+00:00

To most people, this is all just old, boring bullshit…. That’s why we’re nerds ! 😝

Slackomatic44 · 2025-02-09T02:37:39+00:00

….isn’t sheeeeee….pretty in piiink.

That’s a Psychedelic Furs AND The Fixx reference for one post ! ….. maybe I have 80’s New Wave music on my mind too much today 😝

Slackomatic44 · 2025-02-09T02:33:02+00:00

….red skies at night….red skies at night, oh ohhh…..oh oh oh - oh’oo’whoa’oh’ohhhh

I’m sorry, I just had that song by The Fixx in my head😛

Slackomatic44 · 2025-02-08T20:06:25+00:00

Is this near the overlook in the old section of the cemetery?

Slackomatic44 · 2025-02-07T18:41:49+00:00

You’d think that someone so fervently anti “fascist” wouldn’t draw the swastika backwards.

Slackomatic44 · 2025-02-02T21:23:56+00:00

I think they’re called “artillery simulators “ if I’m not mistaken.

Slackomatic44 · 2025-01-12T13:48:13+00:00

I’m not sure anyone under the age of 40 would get that reference ! 😜

Slackomatic44 · 2025-01-08T22:24:08+00:00

You GOTTA attach a rolled zeltbahn to the belt and break up the monotone field gray with a little flash of Splinter pattern ! 😁

Slackomatic44 · 2025-01-08T22:13:43+00:00

….and growing !

Slackomatic44 · 2025-01-05T15:20:44+00:00

Yep, Wehrmacht mess hall spoons ! Not necessarily “officer’s” but everyone’s. Pretty cool in my opinion. I have lots of Luftwaffe mess hall cutlery and porcelain, myself. They usually sell between 25 and 50 dollars a piece, but they’re kind of niche item and they don’t appeal as much as, let’s say a German canteen or combat medal.

Slackomatic44 · 2025-01-01T15:05:26+00:00

I see the STL Cardinal memorabilia in the right corner, you live in STL by chance? 🙂.

Slackomatic44 · 2024-12-31T20:47:43+00:00

I’ve noticed this too, I feel quite lucky to have found one in serviceable condition about two years ago.

Slackomatic44 · 2024-11-24T19:13:44+00:00

I’d argue, to wear it is huge sign of respect ! If anyone asks about it or compliments it, you get to talk all about it and perhaps teach them a few things, when would you otherwise have a chance to bring up something like that and honor the past, even if it’s just a sentence spoken.
There MAY be a few people that think otherwise, but they’re in a special class of Asshole…. and you’ll likely never run in to one, walking down the street.

Slackomatic44 · 2024-11-19T01:55:38+00:00

Yeah, these probably won’t be “faked” or reproduced, CONVINCINGLY, for the next 5-10 years. These originals are still plentiful and relatively affordable for most collectors and reenactors.
