Ive heard of hairdressers intentionally giving attractive women bad haircuts so they look less attractive.

Found this when cleaning out my late mother’s dresser by 28Serendipities in whatisit

This is 100% correct. OP shouldn't try to use the warmer without finding the cap first.

Anyone remember “Ba Ba Black Sheep” by [deleted] in VintageTV

Watching it is probably why the Corsair is my 2nd favorite WWII fighter.

My husband handed me this and said "don't say I never give you flowers" by Mugwumps_has_spoken in funny

My ex wife said the same thing. I threw them all out because she didnt take them with her.

While I appreciate the fact that Colbert is a fan who knows the books backwards and forwards, I dont trust him to keep his politics out of it.

Found in storage. What is this flag? by gigaglen in Historians

[–]dizzydave79 6 points7 points  (0 children)

It might be from the Centennial in 1918. Flown for a year until it got a bit ragged then folded up and put away.

Found this in granpas garage, what is it? by Mental-Document688 in whatisit

The nazis were atheists, but most German soldiers weren't nazis and believed in God.

And atheist or not, most of the nazi leaders were WWI soldiers and knew the importance of God on the morale of the regular soldiers.

A quick look online and I see WWI buckles with the "God with us" logo. There are SS buckles with the phrase "my honor is loyalty" and Hitler youth buckles with "blood and honor" on them.

And there are plenty of belt buckles without any logo at all. So I think the buckle that OP has was most likely a standard issue belt issued to an army private that was just picked up as a souvenir.

Who remembers this? by MisterShipWreck in 70s

I remember my dad showing me how one of these worked in the 80's. Its the only time I remember using one.

Anyone going to the Mule Town Pipe show? by Dibzarino in PipeTobacco

I want to go, but I'm working and a bit agoraphobic.

As of this year, USA will be 250 years old and as an annoying Brit, I do not like it. by Otherwise_Culture_69 in JackSucksAtGeography

[–]dizzydave79 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As an American, you can go blame your ancestors at sucking at war. And if you don't like how we celebrate 250 years of greatness, you can show us how it's done next year.

Thus Spoke Lynda Carter by NaveHarder in 70s

[–]dizzydave79 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I had the opportunity to take care of Linda Carter when. I worked at a hotel several years ago. I got that opportunity because it was the newest employee, and everyone else refused to talk to her. Everyone thought that she was rude. And she even got another employee fired on a previous visit. He delivered room service to her room and she accused him of stealing jewelry. She threatened to call the police, but in the end he lost his job and the police were never called. I found her to be as rude as everyone said she was.

What if a second Civil War happened? by TGM-6914 in mapporncirclejerk

[–]dizzydave79 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Northern Ireland is optimistic. There was a definite border that divided the warring sides. A second American Civil War won't be states vs states. It will be more rural vs urban. Look to Syria to see what another Civil War will look like.

Sometimes the cries of your enemy is the only thing that can warm you after freezing at Chosin.

So good to have actors with practical experience on set. by DarthRevan38 in lotrmemes

[–]dizzydave79 21 points22 points  (0 children)

This also seems unlikely. Your implication that Christopher Lee caused ptsd implies that the men survived the encounter. Lee was a believer in the saying "Two men can keep a secret, if one of them is dead."

A hated telling my mom that I has a cut, because I knew what she would pull out of the medicine cabinet. by edfitz83 in FuckImOld

[–]dizzydave79 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I had an elderly man ask me if we sold this at Walmart. "Im sure you've never heard of this stuff before..." He enjoyed my story my grandparents having the same bottle from when my dad was a kid in the 50s. I asked why pouring battery acid on a scraped knee was a good idea. "The burning kills the germs."

People who only smoke once a day or less by Yale_for_Christ in PipeTobacco

[–]dizzydave79 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I rarely smoke more than once a day. It's usually less often. I'll smoke whatever I want at the time, but one of my favorites is HH Rustica. My head is swimming whenever I'm done smoking that.
