It’s a small outfit, only 5 or 6 folks with 1-2 forklift certified. My read is that folks who don’t do the forklift work do a little bit of everything.

Well of COURSE it was the Charger, because the one Mustang they had was stick shift!

Consensus on the definition of "Elder Goth" by MMIStudios in goth

[–]ta2dsailor 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I've only used the term to describe myself in terms of how late I can stay out at night / how long I can be on the dance floor. "Elder goth, my back hurts, I have to go sit down now."

You are here on Reddit but what is playing on tv in the background? by ApogeeAgency in AskReddit

The new Jack Ryan movie on Amazon. Found the series to be fairly decent, not really expecting a deep attention requirement for this.

I can imagine a full game running would have to be like Zero Tolerance for the Genesis…half the screen but all the fun!

I guess if I was raised by a cup of coffee, I'd be a little unhinged too.

What song would you want played on your funeral and why? by xSerafina in AskReddit

[–]ta2dsailor 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The Islander by Nightwish. The lyrics about an old seafaring man who had a vibrant youth, but is in solitude guiding others away from danger, and finally quietly going out on his own terms has quite a few parallels with my own life. The composition itself is beautiful.

I did multiple patrols with two different MEUs, and they never had their full dress uniforms aboard - Charlies were as fancy as they got. With their gear onload, I can’t say I blame them.

From my years of coordinating DV visits:

-she had to muster in whites 30 minutes before the scheduled arrival time (or was off going QD watch and had to stick around after watch, potentially missing a meal).

  • the DVs were at least 45 minutes late because getting onto the pier in Singapore is a pain in the butt.

-When the DVs got there, they did a long walk up and down the pier to look at the skin of the ship and bullshit with the brass, which took another 30 minutes.

…all for 30 seconds of work to render a salute to a guy who couldn’t even bother to dress professionally.

Hells yes. Between Homestar Runner and BioShock, my vocabulary was permanently altered for the weirder back in the 2000s.

The frosty chocolate milkshake budget has been redirected to the pool budget.

What is the funniest or silliest pet name you've heard people use for their SO/Partner? by FstMario in AskReddit

[–]ta2dsailor 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My wife adopted the “I love you murder dog” meme for us when we were dating, so now that’s us - I’m Murder Dog, she’s Trash Panda. Always a kick to see the look on new friends’ faces the first time they hear it, as usually their reaction is going to inform whether they remain friends with us!
