  1. I'd like to introduce you to the hardest-workin' band in the world. On bass, Derek "Meatman" Scully. On piano, Steven "Soul Surgeon" Clifford. Dean "Mr Nipple" Fay on sax. Joey "The Lips" Fagan on trumpet. Our gorgeous chanteuses are Bernie, Imelda, and Natalie. Deco "Deep Throat" Cuffe on vocals. On lead guitar, Outspan "Fender bender" Foster. Finally, on drums, Mickah "Don't Fuck With Me" Wallace. Ladies and gentlemen, The Commitments!!

    This is fictitious band, where the actors actually sing and perform, and some eventually form the real life band, The Commitments.  Great soundtrack, in my top 10 movies of all time.  Man, to show up with your dad to his audition and belt out a tune and get the lead singer role at 17... legend.

    Happy St Patty's Day.

  2. In staying with my theme of fake bands (but real musicians make it so..) this lady puts POWER in a power ballad when she belts out, "It takes my flesh from bone" and it takes off from there.

    I give you We All Die Young by Gabriela Gunčíková.

    Next, this is the greatest band you've never heard if, unless you spent time in Japan.  Here is Art of Life by Japan X... hope you got 30 minutes for the listen.

  3. You know, it's getting so cliche in shows/flick when 2 male characters that have zero developed back story and no stereotype behaviors, all of the sudden just start macking and sexing.  Today, I'm shocked if it turns out all the dudes in a show are just regular joes.

    Southpark nailed that shit with their Disney Woke Pandaverse episode.

  4. Until it loses link, smacks into a driver and causes a pile up.

    Also, in F1 Drama, why would Horner dick pic another woman when he married to Ginger Spice?

  5. Until all the Panera workers quit and go to Micky-Dees.  But then McD will start making their own buns and selling em.   Subway is toast because their bread isn't bread.

  6. Tictok challenge 2024!*

    Gab a can of 50/50 mix of high octane and diesel (flammability and sticktoyoutiveness) and the best 1 strike torch and challenge away.  Shooting up a school is so passe.  This is how you get likes and views!

  7. Man, where to start.

    I loved Thunderbirds.  My son now owns all the movies on DVD.

    Battlestar Galatica with OG Cylons (although I also enjoyed the reboot... who wouldn't want to be haunted by Tricia Helfer, aka Six); Buck Rogers was fun too.  We had Capt Kirk and damn dirty apes.

    The Black Hole (Disney flick if you can believe it) had a menacing killer robot and a lobotomized crew of a madman.  Alien I think is a 70s film.

    On the animation side there was G Force and The Hobbit.

    Then the wacky stuff like Death Race 2000, the short film Hardware Wars with Ham Salad, And Rollerball!  Now stand for the Corporate Hymn.

  8. AF needs a new A1.

    Yo, try these out.

    1. TIS counts.  Upon re-retirement, pay is calculated from the last single month. 

    2. Free Tricare, forever, dental too.  At 65, it remains Prime/Select/Std and covers spouse til they pass.  Full freedom to select PCM.

    3. Tax free bonus, enough to fully fund a 401k (managed by Schwab or similar) to IRS max; 1:1 401k matching.  Base pay multiplier.

    4. ANG/Rsv that want an active retirement, its automatic upon retirement regardless of years served, but calculated at years served.

    5. Reset on Post 9/11 GI Bill.

    6. Free SBP and 100% for spouse, not 55%.  Gotta take care of the Mrs/Mr/Sugar.

    7. Guaranteed cockpits at signing.

    8. No PT tests, no OPR (or whatever its called), no PRF (but step promotions allowed), blues not required, no mobility status, no GTC, no ADSC, PCSs negotiated

    9. O-6 level BAH (gotta pay for that Captain mortgage).

    10. Retirement pay continues and VA pay/offset, if applicable, continue.  Besides, it's a different DFAS.  If Retired DFAS starts messing around with it, they'll fuck it up.  Best to just let it continue as is.

    OK A1, your turn.

    Make your own and it’s cheaper…at least that’s how I justified all the reloading stuff to my wife! And of course I don’t factor in equipment cost to the cost per round - I don’t need that kind of math in my life!

    Once flew with a dude that took reloading a step further than usual and made his own primers; chemicals, anvils, etc.

    In all seriousness, most of my class was late rated.  Many went on to command, a few even at the wing level.

     

    So show up, kick ass, and chew your bubblegum, even if you run out of gum.

  11. Fine, Putin is the best dude ever, such a big caring heart.  He's Mr Wonderful and would give anyone the shirt off his back.  All hail Perfect Putin, a true angel.  He should get the Nobel Peace award.

    Wonder how she would fare against Nikki Haley though. 

    I'm sure both are capable of saying "bitch, please" in a debate.

    I say they go Thunderdome, no ref, two women enter, one woman leaves, the other via a stretcher.  They can even shout policy one liners as they trade shots.  The winner gets mad respect and shows the world they can kick ass.

    Words...

      Listening to those things doesn’t infect me, it helps me understand how to resolve conflicts to my advantage.  Where might we agree? What are things they care about that we don’t where concessions might be made?  What are sensitive areas where we might ascertain vulnerabilities previously unseen? How can we exploit their words against them? Who are the charismatic, intelligent leaders who have a chance of defeating us that we should target and kill?  Who are the dumb ones we should prop up to weaken their organization?  There are also tactical advantages: UBL, ISIS & NVA were targeted successfully based on analysis of items in the background of videos they allowed reporters to take; fucking dummies.  I encourage that (Napoleon said never interrupt your enemy when he is making a mistake).  So let’s all be mature and realize there is goodness here if we are smart enough to filter appropriately.  And if hearing a different perspective challenges your own conclusions, that is healthy as well.

    A big issue with that (underlined) is a large chunk of humans will see this, or have it shoved thru their Tiktok eyeballs, and adopt the forced opinion that the Ruskies are good.  The US has a sizeable group of the dumb ones.

    Putin won the interview.

    How about Tucker take the tape, hand it over to the IC, and tell em to have at it, especially since Tucker was denied getting the WSJ released.  Even better would have been if Tucker greeted him and gave him a Novichok handshake.

    I truly look at this as a positive, just like anytime a leftist state passes more crazy leftists laws/taxes—perhaps enough people will see how crazy their states are becoming and reverse the trend, or they’ll move to a better state.  50 states, along with DC and the territories—find one that works best you and your family.  California is beautiful…no way I would ever live there.  If millions of illegals are willing to move (illegally) for a better life, others can do the same.

    Concur.  Just wait for some rat infested buildings to get fined a ton, or a few thousand restaurants for not registering their "pets" and then start calling all those critters "undocumented."

    WHAT? Maverick never dies!!!😡

    I have yet to see archer though. is that a good or bad thing that it will end up like seasons 8-10?

    Those Archer seasons are all dreams.  End of season 7 he ends up in a coma.  Which gave the writers a super wide berth to make up some funny shit.

    One is a pilot wife for sure, so real? Wow, I think my wife might actually punch someone in the face if they asked her to be in something like this. But, whatever floats your boat!

    Money.  And a chance to get memed, made fun of, bullied online, and trash one's life. 

    American Fighter Pilot lost control and spun out to sea after a cringy naming ceremony in the Sq bar and got canceled.  IMO, by CSAF, but I have no evidence of such.   

    Oh wait, this is on AFN?  Well, its probably a new cast for "Don't shake your baby" PSAs and that super evil blonde girl that will make you leave your friends, stop going to school, and get you kicked off the team.... Ms Alcohol, aka, any girl.

    I guess the navy didn't get enough recruits.

    not sure how I feel about this. the revitalization of Top Gun with Top Gun: Maverick was amazing, but I just hope that it doesn't turn into one of those series that progressively becomes shit with the more movies they put out. 

    You do know he died when hs X plane disintegrated, right?  The rest is a dream sequence.  TG #3 will be like Archer, seasons 8-10.
