Good Morning Campers!
Thirsty Thursday is here!
I love Thursdays.  Thursdays our the days that we drink all day.  We start off in the morning and Lethal shares his secret coffee mixture that he calls “brown gold” with the staff.  Now, personally, I think that he’s not sharing the REAL “brown gold” but it’s still better than the usual coffee we use.  Then for lunch on Thirsty Thursday, we have either a wine tasting or micro-brew beer tasting or something like that.  Today, from what I understand, the dwarves are presenting us with several different ale and mead samples for us to taste and judge.  After work, we have a buffet dinner with the winners of the tasting contest set out as barrels to enjoy with the dinner.  It’s really a great day.
What does your office due to celebrate Thirsty Thursday every week?

Today’s issue needs to be put out before the tasting begins or it won’t really be worth reading.  So…. Let’s get started:

Let’s Laugh!

This will keep you on the edge of your seat:

The Tonight Show With Jay Leno

• The day after daylight-saving time is supposed to be the worst day of the year for car accidents, because the lower sun in the sky makes it hard for people to read their tweets while driving.
• Singer George Michael told a judge this week that he deserved to go to jail for his behavior as a celebrity. To which Lindsay Lohan said, “Will you shut up? You’ll ruin it for everybody.”
• Lindsay asked the judge if she could be excused from court this Thursday because of what she called “the holiest day of the year.” Saint Patrick’s Day.

Lethal Leprechaun spied a letter lying on his doormat.

It says on the envelope “DO NOT BEND”.

Lethal spends the next 2 hours trying to figure out how to pick the bloody thing up.

A Note to all hunters:

The sad part is that this person probably drives, votes and may have already reproduced!  In response to this person we have this picture, of an unkilled hamburger:

Take one minute….just one click, every day, helps more than you can imagine!

Thanks to Molly for this one!

This is why cops are using cameras. This camera turns on when police activate a Taser gun at defendants. Note the difference between what the defendants, their mothers and their wives, say to the Judge BEFORE the video plays! Look at the size of the last guy.

If for some reason you can’t see the above video, since I’m still new at adding them myself, try going here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pTuBx0yrJGg 

An Arizona couple, both well into their 80s, go to a sex therapist’s office. The doctor asks, ‘What can I do for you?’ The man says, ‘Will you watch us have sexual intercourse?’ The doctor raises both eyebrows, but he is so amazed that such an  elderly couple is asking for sexual advice that he agrees.
When the couple finishes, the doctor says, ‘There’s absolutely nothing wrong with the way you have intercourse..’
He thanks them for coming, he wishes them good luck, he charges them $50 and he says good bye.
The next week, the same couple returns and asks the sex therapist to watch again. The sex therapist is a bit puzzled, but agrees.
This happens several weeks in a row.
The couple makes an appointment, has intercourse with no problems, pays the doctor, then leave.
Finally, after 3 months of this routine, the doctor says, ‘I’m sorry, but I have to ask. Just what are you trying to find out?’
The man says, ‘We’re not trying to find out anything.
She’s married; so we can’t go to her house.
I’m married; and we can’t go to my house.
The Holiday Inn charges $98.
The Hilton charges $139.
We do it here for $50, and Medicare pays $43 of it, leaving my net cost of $7.

At first glance, this next picture looks like a horrible fire, with a small wind twister to make it more fun…

On second glance, with our special cameras that can see into the fantasy realm, you can see that the fire actually had a bit of help…

Now, before you go thinking that one of my brethren was causing trouble somewhere, be assured that the fire dept and dragonkind have worked together for years on training exercises and such.  This picture was taken at just such an exercise where Horatio (the Dragon) lit up an abandoned building so that the fire dept could put it out.  With the high intensity of Horatio’s fire, he could set the same building on fire three or four times before the building was completely wiped out.  Here we’re looking at the third time that he set it on fire and the Fire Dept was going to put it back out.  You can see that there isn’t much left standing so this was the last time they could use this building.  The nice part about using dragon fire on an exercise like this is that when it’s all over, there isn’t much clean up since there isn’t much left.

Showing respect for their fallen comrade, the other five continue playing, but standing up.

“Discreet? I’m the most discreet person you’ll ever meet. Discretion is my middle name. Leave it to me.”

“Tell him he should drop dead!” yells the wife.

“I’ll go tell him,” says Goldberg.

Thanks to George for this one….  You know… I was with you, right up to the twenty-two cents…

Impish
This story was published in the Columbus Dispatch on Tuesday, March 22.  I thought you may get a laugh out of it.  That has to be one large cavity and a lot of loose change.
Scranton, Pa. (AP)- Police in northeastern Pennsylvania say they recovered more than 50 bags of heroin, plus cash and loose change from a woman in a cavity search.
Authorities say that 27-year-old Karin Mackaliunas was detained last weekend after a crash,  Scranton police say they found three bags of heroin in her jacket.  After being taken to the police station, she told investigators that she had more hidden in her vagina.

Mackaliunas was jailed in lieu of $25,000 bail on charges including possession with intent to deliver a controlled substance.
Take care     George

One of my favorite jokes of all time!

Little Carol came into the kitchen where her mother was making dinner. Her birthday was coming up and she thought this was a  good time to tell her mother what she wanted.  ‘Mom, I want a bike for  my birthday.’

Now, Little Carol was a bit of a troublemaker. She had gotten into trouble at school and at home. Carol’s mother asked her if she thought she deserved to get a bike for her birthday.  Little Carol, of course, thought she did.  Carol’s mother, being a Christian woman, wanted her to reflect on her behavior over the last year, and write a letter to God and tell him why she deserved a bike for her birthday.  Little Carol stomped up the steps to her room and sat down to write God a letter.

———————————————————–

LETTER 1:

Dear God:

I have been a very good girl this year and I would like a bike for my birthday. I want a red one. Your friend, Carol

Carol knew this wasn’t true.  She had not been a very good girl this year, so she tore up the letter and started over.

———————————————————- LETTER 2:

Dear God:

This is your friend Carol.  I have been a pretty good girl this year, and I would like a red bike for my birthday.

Thank you, Carol

Carol knew this wasn’t true either.  She tore up the letter and started again.

————————————————————

LETTER 3:

Dear God:  I know I haven’t been a good girl this year. I am very sorry. I will be a good girl if you just send me a red bike for my birthday.

Thank you, Carol

————————————————————

Carol knew, even if it was true, this letter was not going to get her a bike. By now, she was very upset.  She went downstairs and told her mother she wanted to go to church. Carol’s mother thought her plan had worked because Carol looked very sad. ‘Just be home in time for dinner,’ her mother said.

Carol walked down the street to the church and up to the altar.  She looked around to see if anyone was there. She picked up a statue of the Virgin Mary, slipped it under her jacket and ran out of the church, down the street, into her house, and up to her room. She shut the door and sat down and wrote her letter to God.

—————————————————————

LETTER 4:

I GOT YOUR MAMA.

IF YOU WANT TO SEE HER AGAIN, SEND THE BIKE.

Signed, YOU KNOW WHO

What a fantastic Article!  You will probably see some of my, humble comments sprinkled into this piece….I hope you can easily pick them out!

From a Korean war era fighter pilot

Think about this when you read the rest of the  letter below. What happened 
to our Air Force? We used to go to the  Officers Club Stag Bar on Friday 
afternoons to drink, smoke and swap  lies with our comrades. 

Drinking became frowned on.  Smoking caused cancer and could “harm you”. 
Stag bars became sexist.  Gradually, our men quit patronizing their clubs 
because what happened  in the Club became fodder for a Performance Report.. Same 
thing at the  Airman’s Club and the NCO and/or Top 3 clubs.

Now we  don’t have separate clubs for the ranks. Instead we have something  
called “xxx” Air Force Base Club. It’s open to men and women of all  
ranks….from Airman Basic to General Officer. Still, no one is there.  Gee, I 
wonder why.

The latest brilliant thought out of  Washington is that the “pilots?” 
flying remote aircraft in combat  areas from their duty station in Nevada or 
Arizona should draw the  same combat pay as those real world pilots actually on 
board a plane  in a hostile environment. The Politically Correct Logic? The 
remote  vehicle operator is subject to the same stress levels as the combat  
pilot actually flying in combat. REALLY!!!???

Now that  I’ve primed you a little, read on.

Where Have All The Fighter Pilots  Gone?

There are many who will agree with these sentiments,  but they apply to 
more than just fighter pilots.  Unfortunately,  the ones with the guts to speak 
up or push for what they believe in  are beaten down by the “system.”

Unfortunately there  is a lot of truth here.

Supposedly, Secretary Gates has a  force beating the bushes to learn who 
wrote this.  
____________________________________

Subject: Where Have All The Fighter  Pilots Gone?
Answer: Good Question.

Here is a rant  from a retired fighter pilot that is worth reading:

It is  rumored that our current secretary of defense recently asked the  
question, “Where are all the dynamic leaders of the past?” I can only  assume, 
if that is true, that he was referring to Robin Olds, Jimmy  Doolittle, 
Patton, Ike, Boyington, Nimitz, etc. 

I’ve got the  answer. They were fired before they made Major.

Our  nation doesn’t want those kinds of leaders anymore. Squadron  
commanders don’t run squadrons and wing commanders don’t run  wings. They are 
managed by higher ranking dildos with  other esoteric goals in mind.

Can you imagine someone today looking for a  LEADER to execute that 
Doolittle Raid and suggesting that it be given  to a dare-devil boozer-his only 
attributes: he had the respect of his  men, an awesome ability to fly, and the 
organizational skills to put  it all together. If someone told me there was 
a chance in hell of  selecting that man today, I would tell them they were 
either a liar or  dumber than shit.

I find it ironic that the Air Force put  General Olds on the cover of the 
company rag last month. While it made  me extremely proud to see his face, he 
wouldn’t make it across any  base in America (or overseas) without ten 
enlisted folks telling him  to zip up his flight suit and shave his mustache 
off. I have a feeling  that his response would be predictable and for that 
crime he would  probably get a trip home and an Article 15. We have lost the war 
on  rugged individualism and that, unfortunately, is what fighter pilots  
want to follow; not because they have to but because they respect  leaders of 
that ilk. We’ve all run across that leader that made us  proud to follow 
him because you wanted to be like him and make a  difference. The individual 
who you would drag your testicles through  glass for rather than disappoint 
him.

We better wake the  hell up! We’re asking our young men and women to go to 
shitty places,  some with unbearable climates, never have a drink, have 
little or no  contact with the opposite sex, not look at magazines of a 
suggestive  nature of any type, and adhere to ridiculous regs that require you to  
tuck your shirt into your PT uniform on the way to the porta-shitter  at 
night in a dust storm because it’s a uniform. These people we’re  sending to 
combat are some of the brightest I’ve met but they are  looking for a little 
sanity, which they will only find on the outside  if we don’t get a friggin’ 
clue. You can’t continue asking people to  live for months or years at a time 
acting like nuns  and  priests.  Hell, even they get to have a beer. Who 
are we afraid of offending?  The guys that already hate us enough to strap C4 
to their own bodies  and walk into a crowd of us?  Think about it.

I’m  extremely proud of our young men and women who continue to serve. I’m  
also very in tune with what they are considering for the future and  I’ve 
got news for whoever sits in the White House, Congress, and our  so-called 
military leaders. 

Much talent has and will continue  to hemorrhage from our services, because 
wanna-be warriors are tired  of fighting on two fronts–
One with our  enemies, 
Another against our lack of  common sense.  

The “make nice-nice” concept that has helped ruin the military is not confined thereto. I’ve seen it degrade many a corporation & college. If your employer tells you they want leaders & want people to “tell it like it is,” assume they lie.

The insanity is nearly complete, & those who should be inmates are in charge.   Combat pay for U.S.-based remotes?????

RCE

FOR ALL>>>

It appears that a form of “multiculturalism” has developed within the AF over the past several decades and probably other services as well — an attitude of submission to bureaucratic dictates from bookeepers and bureaucrats secure in bunkers, promoted and promoting only those who display a “balanced” and regimented attitude, one that stymies and limits “unorthodox displays”, aggressive attitude or discordant behavior that might infect the qualities of the current “management” style of operation and social behavior within the military.

Leadership qualities of individuals are determined by how one blends into the social fabric among associates regardless of rank, insignia or function.

America has not really won a war since WW II, despite being involved in many…none of which had a real purpose other than to further the schemes and line the pockets of the international banksters who profited the most from them. Our blood and money littered those areas wherein we were involved, but what has it profited America for its involvement? Our former enemies and allies, Germany, Japan, Korea as well as other regions now produce product such that America no longer can sustain its own workforce or produce even the goods necessary to maintain an army…Even our uniforms come from other nations.

But then it appears that this may have been the Plan after all..as those hiding behind the curtain formed the attitude that alien politicians like Henry Kissinger considered proper as regards the use of America’s military…Simply a tool for the use of the elites..

That old Marine General Smedley Butler  who saw through this misuse of our military considered that it was being done to further the goals of the banking internationalists. He said that “War is a Racket”.  Probably the best summary analysis of them all. JRN
