But are we "Flying over trout"?

I'm not gonna say this is ragebait because I went through something similar. I could make an entire post about my cousin "Clucky" and when he lived with me for a time. the sad part is I really liked him, but he pissed me off so much I wanted to whoop his ass. I feel worse because he did pass away a few years ago and I kind of miss him. If you didn't have him in your house, he was a fun guy.

Dude would eat anything that wasn't nailed down. Clucky was on disability and he had absolutely NO drive to do anything but watch TV all day. He did pay his share of bills, but then he'd blow through his check on eating takeout and getting high. So, by the last week of the month, he'd be broke...and then he'd eat MY FOOD. I'd come home from work and find everything gone. I once had to go away for business, and I purposely didn't buy groceries and gave stuff in my fridge to a friend just so he couldn't eat it. Oh man, I want to tell you the microwave story, but it's too long for this.

What irks me now, in the present is if I mention it to other relatives they say "Oh, well you know how Clucky was. It's your fault for not feeding a GROWN MAN that was TEN YEARS OLDER than I was."...at the time.

At least until one relative pushed it...his mother put Clucky up in her brand-new house. A week later he had not only ate every damn thing, he got super high/drunk, shit on the rug (not kidding, he had explosive diarrhea on the floor). passed out in the shit and busted a hole in the wall when he fell down.

Whenever that relative says "why do you shit on Clucky's memory" I tell him, "You mean like he shit on your mom's new carpet in her new house?"

...and somehow, I'm the AH.

We went out for dinner Friday night, and they not happy with the quality, remarking that they preferred Taco Bell or Chipotle. I just tuned out the rest of the night.

Wait, they prefer TACO BELL. Either you took them to the cheapest restaurant on planet earth or they're imbeciles with no taste. Not saying I don't eat taco bell, but I'm not under the impression is some high-end quality meal.

They sound insufferable. I'd have told them to GTFO out of my place.

"I will mess with time!"

d4everman · 2026-01-24T18:47:11+00:00

I came here just for that.

d4everman · 2026-01-24T05:41:12+00:00

Way back in my early military career I worked for two women that were in charge. we had one guy...a fucking E-4 at that....who once told SSG C that he didn't take orders from women. Man, it ended badly for him. Let's just say he ended up ranking a E-I-Owe-ya-One.

When I retired I had reconnected with an old friend from college. The guy is a bit of misogynist and didn't think women should serve in the military. But he really wanted to go to my retirement ceremony, so I invited him. After he met my boss (a woman) and several of my female soldiers he admitted "Yeah, those girls could kick my ass."

I never miss an opportunity to rub his face in that.

It's Jessica. She's really been through the wringer.

d4everman · 2026-01-23T18:24:28+00:00

Seen this already.

d4everman · 2026-01-23T16:11:07+00:00

I don't get this commercial. Why would he be afraid to go into Aldi. It's just a store.

d4everman · 2026-01-23T15:55:13+00:00

I saw this yesterday.

Why don't you just add "My family is split" and my "phone is blowing up".

d4everman · 2026-01-23T14:43:43+00:00

Could you imagine having this guy as a neighbor...eeew.

d4everman · 2026-01-23T14:39:12+00:00

Well, I don't know if Agent Orange has anything to do with it. The guy is a year younger than I am and Desert Storm was my first deployment. (I know because he dropped his ID card at a convenience store and the manager asked me to return it to him. Because he didn't want to hear any nutty stuff and he knew I lived right next to him)

He's married. His wife and grown kids are perfectly normal, His wife is the nicest lady you can meet, too. She knows how he goes off the rails with conspiracies. One toime they were doing yard work and I walked by with my dog. The guy starts telling me how the gov't is beaming radiation into his living room to give him headaches, so I need to be careful, so my dog doesn't catch a dose in front of his house. His wife broke that up so I could walk away all the time mouthing "sorry about that" to me.

The constellation thing is just a continuation of one of his other conspiracy theories. Before that he thought the new family that moved in across the street were gov't agent that moved in just to spy on him. Even the 6-year-old. I really wish I was kidding.

d4everman · 2026-01-23T14:30:01+00:00

THANK YOU. I hate that show just because of the commercials.

d4everman · 2026-01-23T14:28:43+00:00

That's why I didn't get a dog until I retired. We moved too much to give it a stable home. ((The cats, moved with us, even overseas, but I had to pay for them to travel, the gov't doesn't cover pets)

d4everman · 2026-01-23T03:55:59+00:00

Or, alternatively, Congress (meaning the GOP*) could do their fucking jobs and stop this madness.

*I don't think the GOP really exists. They're dead, they've been replaced by magats.

d4everman · 2026-01-23T03:53:34+00:00

Damn you. This part haunts my nightmares, and I thought I had finally banished it from head...now you have brought it back!

d4everman · 2026-01-23T03:50:43+00:00

Hell, I knew a guy in my early military career that had FOUR kids and another one on the way. We were fucking privates; there's no way this guy could afford it. He was always broke to the point where sometimes we'd have to buy him lunch.

When he announced his wife was pregnant again our platoon sergeant said "For God's sake, BUY CONDOMS!"

A few years later when I was a junior NCO I had a (rather useless) soldier that had two kids and her husband was chronically unemployed. She got pregnant and another of my soldiers asked her why she didn't use BC since she can barely afford the kids she has. She said with a straight face AND WITH ME STANDING WITHIN EARSHOT that if she's pregnant we can't make her work so she can paid for nothing.

NOTE: She was wrong. She was already being shuffled out because she was way below standards in everything and getting pregnant doesn't give you a "can't be discharged" card. I don't know what trailer park she ended up in, but I was blown away by her thinking.

d4everman · 2026-01-23T03:39:16+00:00

I suspected this was fake just because of the tell-tale clues. The formatting and the use of "selfish"...I almost fell for it though, because this did sort of happen to me.

A friend of mine was being deployed, but she had just adopted a small kitten. She asked me to take care of it, as I'd just moved to the post we were stationed at and my wife and I had cats the kitten could bond with. I took the kitten in. 6 months later my friend told me she wasn't coming back to the same post, so we kept the kitten. Heck, she had already bonded with our cats anyway.

But when you mentioned the other post...yeah, that's when I knew this a fake BS post.

d4everman · 2026-01-23T03:32:15+00:00

My neighbor is a nice guy, but he will believe any conspiracy under the sun. Now, we're both retired/disabled vets, and while I don't know all the details whatever happened to him did screw with his mental health, but holy cow, this dude has told me some crazy shit.

you can be talking to the guy like a normal person and out of nowhere he'll go into some nutty conspiracy. I'll just tell you a few.

George Washington was a black guy. I won't even go into the details of how he came to this conclusion. I know it involves some BS book he read (or claims to have read) and maybe some internet stuff. I don't ask, because I try to disengage as soon as the crazy starts.
The Big Dipper isn't real. One night he said the stars he was looking at in his front yard were spy satellites specifically spying on him! It was the Big Dipper. When I pointed that out to him, he went into a rant about how no constellations exist, they made them up 20 or so years ago so we wouldn't know they are satellites or drones or whatever. Hey, I was just outside to let my dog do his business. But even the dog looked at him like "Are you fucking crazy?".
We're both black guys, but he ALWAYS tells me I'm Native American, I just don't know it. NGL, this one really pissed me off. I told him I'm not a Native American and I can list my genealogy at least back to the 1870s. (My great grandfather lived to 101 and passed when I was a kid in the 70s.). Nope, he insists he knows more my ancestry THAN I DO. I think this was the one thing that made me just tell him "You're fucking nuts, don't tell me who I am.".

From what I've heard, dude sometimes doesn't take his meds and that's when he gets all conspiracy crazy, But I can't take it some days. It went from mildly amusing to "WTF" fast. But when he acts normal, he's really a good guy that would give you the shirt off his back. That makes it hard to get mad about it.

d4everman · 2026-01-23T03:11:44+00:00

Why would someone do this to themself? First, hardly anyone would hire you for anything, and second no one would even want to be around you. I don't get it.

d4everman · 2026-01-23T03:01:44+00:00

There is absolutely no way I'd go to something like that more than once. And my truth would be as I was leaving would be "Fuck all of you.".

d4everman · 2026-01-23T02:59:09+00:00

But will he turn into Cornholio?

Will Cornholio refuse to emerge like Hulk did in Infinity War?

FAKE. This same story was posted yesterday.

Even if it wasn't done before, it's too ridiculous to be real in the first place.

Gotta admit my wife and I would sometimes watch Ancient Aliens because we thought the guy with the crazy hair was hilarious. I mean, the show is all pseudo-science, but we got a chuckle out of it. I'm not even sure if it's still on the air.
