    went down to san pedro yesterday for the fleet week
    first time i ever used my veteran status to cut my ticket price on the Iowa from 150 to 45 bucks have no idea how she did that but grateful
    if anyone is looking for something fun to do tomorrow its an incredible piece of our history...i know racist
    but what a brilliant piece of art and power it is to be on a navy battleship
    the history of its voyages from the early 40s on is remarkable...i know racist
    how anyone could conceive of building that boat let alone actually creating it is mind boggling
    we had a couple of old salts chasing us from behind as we got there at 3 and they close AT 4
    but as we walked through they were sharing stories of everything from the distance their guns could reach to the secret areas
    those guys are walking around waiting for someone to ask them a question and it was gold
    they hate the new aluminum ships because at some point in a fire its just abandon ship and that seems mighty finook
    all my training was how to fight until the end to keep that ship afloat
    but i guess at some point the burning aluminum turns into fire balls
    most impressive for me was the admirals courters made out of 16 inch steel in the event of the ultimate attack
    most definitely impressive beyond words

    Are they doing a bunch of work to the Ports of Call area? Was there a year or so ago for party at a restaurant and heard there was a major project proposed there.

    My grandfather's name and the name of his boat are on the Fisherman's Memorial there. He was a Croatian immigrant who came here shortly after WWI. My grandparents' home was about seven blocks straight above the harbor. Never forget hearing the ship's fog horns as they entered the harbor. You could hear them clearly from the house.

    been around the catholic schools for a long time and thankfully no longer
    get tired of being hit up for money every time i pick up my kid
    at the catholic cemetery where my dad is buried they have a statue of a kid on his knees in front of a man and i swear it looks like he's blowing him
    i actually went in and told them how bad it looked and the lady at the desk said i wasn't the first one
    she went back and spoke to the priest and came back and said "the nuns gave it to us"...uh ok and i just turned around and walked out

    the kid has his hands on the mans waist and his head is at cock level
    its awful

    1000 times worse, the worst i've ever seen

    A standout in Boogie Nights and Deliverance...Burt had a damn good time in his days on earth.
    I really don't think he took himself too seriously, as so-o-o many do.

    he was an icon of my childhood like Evel and Farrah
    just takes me back to a different time when i road my bike w friends in the orange groves and we came home when the street lights came on
    a much simpler and less frantic existence without cell phones and the my pillow asshole
    wish he could have saved Ned from that hillbilly though most times he came through
    the playgirl spread, the toupee and that smile
    Maybe he was a little too wild in the 70s
    Rocket-ship grease down the cracks of his knuckles
    Karate bandana
    Warp speed chic
    Hair down to there
    Impressive moustache
    Love came in a bottle with a twist off cap
    Let's all have a swig and do a hot lap

    In other news, Roy Moore suing Sacha Baron Cohen for 95 million because of the " pedophile detector " bit Cohen duped him into on his show. Insane.
    This might be just the beginning of the legal deluge against Cohen.

    Any old Sons of Anarchy fans out there?

    Did you check out the series debut of Mayans, Kurt Sutter's latest effort?

    If you made it to abduction of Jax' son you've got a ways to go.

    I think Mayans is worth a watch. Better than 95 percent of the other shit on the tube.
