I love M.A.S.H !! The film- my single divorced dad took my 6 girlfriends & I - ( we were having a sleepover?!)to see it when it came out - I think for my 13 th bday party🥳 1973 - Brave Dad!! Later one gf got us to sneak out & run around the neighborhood- ding dong ditching ….. we weren’t smoking any weed - but they could’ve come high-
Needless to say we got caught - my dad was cool 😎 I felt like shit- but I loved the film
I still remember, and delight in, Trapper John's outburst after he punches out Frank Burns. "I have had it with that sky pilot. He's the worst surgeon in the outfit, and every time a patient croaks on him, he says it's 'Gooooood's Will' - or someone else's fault. And this time he blamed a kid who was stupid enough to believe him."
A tirade that applies to fundie evangelist preachers in general and Kenneth Copeland in particular.
I watched this recently and I was also struck by the fact that the harassment of “Hot Lips” didn’t age well. I actually found myself feeling sorry for her and was a little embarrassed for my younger self. (Sally Kellerman was great!)
Frank Burns was an asshole, though and deserved everything he got. (Robert Duvall was awesome.)
OK, then, how about we soften it up and say ''There are a lot of desperate people breaking our law by crossing the border to get to the land of milk and honey''?
Meanwhile, they're still wringing their hands over Hillary calling them deplorable /even though that is not what she said you goddamned complicit mother fuckers
Man, I slept so great last night. Thank bog man for Cymbalta.
Otherwise all is quiet here in Central OK. My divorce has been finalized, Mt mortgage application is complete, and I have applied for my new social security card. School is going just peachy, as is work. Both are great, as a matter of fact.
I'm still totally crushing out on the sober disc golf player who seems shockingly stable. Both my husband and former kink partner had revealed signs of serious dysfunction this many weeks in, but the disc golf player remains just as cool and together as can be, which could be good or bad.
PBS News covered that story last night. It was interesting to me that these military labs have tech that is 7 years advanced over the state and federal crime labs.
Every criminal trial I’ve been involved in has the judge explaining this a couple of times and as a defense counsel I usually did too at the start of my closing—“so this is the last time I get to speak to you, the state gets one more chance which is fair, because remember that very high burden they have?”
The only thing that DOLT45 actually understands is how to rev up the willfully ignorant cult. With every thing else he is befuddled, confused, and clueless.
First world woes: the refridge fix did not work, so it is probably something even worse. I decided rather than to keep throwing money at this lemon, that it was time to let it go and get a new one.
So, we did the typical american Memorial day thing yesterday and went sale shoppin.
Felt a little soiled yes. Generally, I do nothing more objectionable on that specific day than some light gardening. Both hubby's family and mine have lost people during service, so we tend to take the day of reflection a might serious, though not serious enough to attend a parade or something.
However, I got my poppy, so that was worthwhile.
New fridge comes thursday. Settled on a pretty high rated GE. Was pondering a Whirlpool or an Amana, but the Amana was too small and the whirlpool's ice maker was two cube trays that I thought was super funny but I want my convenience. End price was one of those too low to advertise ones, but only for the stainless steel, which I am guessing is not popular this year.

He ran out and bought it- without telling me mind you, or even reasoning where the money would come from, just ran right out and put a deposit on it- because it was cool and sporty looking.

Sure we have a choice. I choose to send him to prison and to soon piss on his grave.
Hey Trump; tell us you want to be an absolute dictator without saying it.
Why would he need to give them immunity if what they were doing was legal? One wonders.
Clueless person is as clueless person does.
There's no fucking mass infiltration of "illegal immigrants" omg the press I wish YOU WOULD CALL THAT SHIT OUT

The way trump has been melting down, it seems that he agrees that tomorrow will be Conviction Day.
If they decide before noon, I might not hear about it. I'm reporting for jury duty Wednesday morning.
I think the music and fireworks might be a signal for you ...
If (IF!) he's found guilty, I shall smile more.

Biden's IRA is very different from Jackson's IRA.
I love how they called off war due to being impressed with science,
They did not know that Thales had predicted the eclipse. They only knew that the Sun was blotted out. It was the city of Miletus who was impressed that he had called it.
Yeah, that was notable.
right? More impressed with that then the actual prediction XD
I forecast great things for young Washington in his career in the British Army.
See. Rishi's right. The youth need an early start in the forces to become a productive member of the Empire.
Who will hold the Indian frontier for John Company if the Maginot line fails and we can't run our chests of opium into China? Wibble wibble wibble!
I like a nice rich finely aged Maginot
It has to be from Maginot, or it's just a sparkling fortification.
A Lt. Colonel at age 22. In today's military 20 years of service or so would be required to obtain a rank of O-5..
Back then it was, "So, you're from the landed gentry? Fine, you're an officer. Oh, you helped survey the area? Congratulations, LEF-tenant Colonel."
I figured he cut to the front of the line.

Good morning!
1824: Nalmanci swam past Charybdis.
They were the first Grecian to accomplish this feat.
Scylla could not be reached for comment.
Was already busy posing for bawdy postcards.
Scylla, as it is famously known, does not speak.
Was having her paps done
If you don't know how to say "Good morning" when you are in a European country, I recommend you declare "Godenmorgen".
It is a gringo mix of Netherlands and German, so, it is a sort of, "Euro".
Our European friends will correct me.
I thought the universal good morning was "Hey! You! Get out ... the pub's closing!"
Ah'm still drinkin' manling.
Also true.
Dobre manana
I've been having a real fun (?) time the last few months, after 15 years of becoming passably good at German, picking up some Czech. *Nothing* lines up with how Germanic languages work, so there are no toeholds whatsoever.
You should do it like I do it: Just suck at all languages.
Saves time.
I took 4 years of russian cause I minored in it, and I can say good morning and I love cheese. In my prof's defense, he taught us more to read it, and I can read it even now, because in his view we were not gonna be conversant in the language until we lived with it.
This was lucky for me because my pronunciation always sucked harder than a hoover
