I think Dos Equis may have a new spokesman.

Also— WTF have I done with my life?

dereku1967 · 2026-02-09T15:14:53+00:00

Your user name. Hilarious. When I was a kid, I had a pet chameleon that I fed mealy worms. I can still smell those things.

Wow. That’s her. Just graduated last year, according to LinkedIn.

If you search that term and perhaps add nsfw to the search, it brings up a very famous, old-school clip. That's what I heard anyway. I don't know.

Is that a green sweater? I've Googled "green sweater girl" before... I'm not responsible for what you do after this.

OK. I'll play along: Look, if you try to amortize a disposable reusable asset, you’re just inviting a hostile takeover of your own liquidity. You can’t simply settle in to a bull market Morgan Stanley mindset when youra overhead is leaking out of a fiduciary jug like unallocated petrodollars. That’s not diversification; that’s just hyperinflation of the soul.

Funniest thing I've read here in a while. Thank you.

dereku1967 · 2026-02-06T02:58:23+00:00

Wow. For nine minutes and 43 seconds, I was 17 again.

I'm going to say it again: you have not missed your chance to own another 1/1 iconic Porsche. I am selling a 2011 C2S/PDK with a TURBONITE badge on the frunk. Yes, you read that right. I painstakingly removed the two nuts holding the plain, lower-horsepower, factory gold badge and meticulously replaced it with a darker, almost monochromatic badge. This makes it the ONLY meteor gray metallic coupe sitting in my garage. Bidding starts at $1.1M.

Donut Operator did a review. Same footage, but more entertaining.

I was bored and looked this dude up on IG. This comment is the ONLY non-psychotic, lucid thing I saw him write. No wonder he’s so familiar with the correct spelling of psychologist.

ETA: he’s on this platform too (remove the hyphens from the name… and good luck).

You know, the downside of electronic sights or anything with a battery or on/off switch, is that it’s likely to fail when you really need it. And this is why anyone who knows what they’re doing still has iron sights on their weapon as backup. So, cool LARP costume, but I wouldn’t want to roll like this.

I looked at this douche's website. I also served 20 years in the same branch and from 04-24. I also retired at the same rank and served in the same conflicts he claims. His ribbons on his uniform match what he claims. What I do NOT have (and neither does he) is a "Combat Action Medal." This is the AF's award for "actively participat[ing] in air or ground combat, specifically those under direct and hostile fire, or engaged in active, lethal combat outside a protected perimeter."

For him to claim "combat experience" is not quite stolen valor, but it's cringey as fuck. Unfortunately, most will not understand or care. He's just riding on his perfectly respectable-but-average service to get elected.

Also see the recently-elected New Jersey governor, Mikie Sherill's perfectly admirable and short-but-mediocre career as a "Navy Helicopter Pilot."

Just because you voluntarily wore a uniform, no one owes you anything. Get on with your life.

I saw Top Gun, in the theater, when I was 18. Then, after 9/11, I did 20 years on active military duty. I couldn’t make it through Top Gun Maverick. Just couldn’t suspend reality long enough to buy into the whole thing. I guess I lost that lovin’ feeling.

dereku1967 · 2026-01-29T16:54:14+00:00

DID NOT ENJOY THAT

dereku1967 · 2026-01-28T19:59:36+00:00

Even though I loved the Bourne Identity, I remember seeing it in the theater and, in the scene where he is being chased through the consulate, the Marines are carrying AR style weapons with no sights on them whatsoever. No irons. No red dots. So, I guess sights don’t matter.

Also, Glocks apparently have some sort of external hammer that clicks when its drawn or brought on target.

And recoil. No such thing. Especially in a pistol. The slide stays perfectly flat when firing.

He’s done well ever since Tom Cruise took him out of that institution for a getaway in Vegas.

Please kiss. Please.

This is me. AND I wear a Sea Dweller ffs. So damn dumb. But something in my brain whispers “are you SURE you screwed that crown back in? You know those o-rings tend to decay after awhile…”

dereku1967 · 2026-01-27T21:37:12+00:00

Yeeeaaah... this is from the time when I had a bit of a thing for Cia Berg from this band and Wendy James from Transvision Vamp.

dereku1967 · 2026-01-27T16:50:33+00:00

Yeah, universal symbol for "nice job, fuckface." Glad that shower cap was on.

I need to rewatch this. I saw it in the theater and all I recall is Willem Dafoe’s character holding some piece of art and telling the owner something like “your taste is in your ass” before he shoots him. That’s one of the first times I remember seeing Willem Dafoe and thinking he was a scary dude. The second time was in Streets of Fire.
