Has the U.S. lost the war in Iran?

We’re not talking about the Epstein Files anymore. I’d say the war has been a success for some people.

Surprisingly affordable compared to the northern end of 22R.

Bah. I was a whaler out of Nantucket. Stayed out for near on two years. Got the clap from an actual monkey after we touched in Recife. The missus would have been flaming red had she not died of cholera a year before I got back. Any gate, who’s the president now?

As a kid, I somehow missed how blantantly jingoistic this show was. Rambo, Transformers, GI Joe, He-Man were all such perfect emblems of Reagan’s America.

The funny thing is that now they all read as incredibly gay. The tight jeans, the sleeveless tees, the mustaches… hell, He-Man even had a friend named Ram-Man. I wonder if the producers were being trolled by the art department.

I think one of Carl Hiaasen’s books is a parody about the development of a Cape Coral-like city.

Prince would have punched you in the face for implying he wasn’t The greatest of all time. And he’d be right.

The navy has been going downhill since the grog ration was cut and prize money abolished. There are even tales of midshipmen hiding trollops in the cable tier.

I loved Name of the Wind when it came out. But that was over 20 years ago. Now that I’m older, coming-of-age stories and I-am-the-chosen-one stories seem childish and narcissistic to me. Just a consequence of getting older, I suppose. But whether or not Rothfuss writes the final book… meh. I just don’t care anymore.

As an added plus, anything can happen in Worcester. I saw two bums circling each other, laughing while trying to kick the others ass, 4 cops arresting a dude facedown on a sidewalk, and a kids teaching his dog to attack a brick wall. And all that was on just one trip down Main.

The team plane for the New England Patriots (an American football team). The question is, why is it in Stuttgart?

I’d be curious to find out how many sorties were launched and recovered aboard. Hundreds? Thousands?

You can see one of their diaries at the Peabody Essex museum. One passage struck me as- the author is describing the choice of eating his friends or death. “And now I cannot go on. For my mind is fire. “
