F-15EX Named the Eagle II Chappy would be proud!

I love these old historical documentaries! 😉

You had me convinced until that last sentence. What our society needs more is people who give a half fuck about themselves! With an obesity rate over 40% and increasing rapidly, it doesn't appear a large number of Americans gave a fuck about their own health before COVID hit. These same people who want everyone to wear masks for their benefit are the first ones in line at McDonald's drive thru to get the McRib sandwich when it comes out (too much work to actually get out of their vehicles to get them). It also contradicts your "thinning the herd" argument. Despite most Americans being the unhealthiest individuals in this country's history, our life expectancy has gone up from below 70 in the 1960s to over 78 today. We can credit modern medicine for that accomplishment; with the fringe benefit is the longer people live, the more that industry can profit off them. But I am also not quite sure this extended lifetime equals an extended quality of life. As one who is getting closer to the final quarter of his life (i.e., nearing 60), I realize the decisions I made during the first 75% of it will impact how the last 25% will go, and I accept that. But also knowing that death could unknowingly be minutes away at any time drives me to want to live and enjoy what's left of my life--be it a few more minutes or decade--to the fullest extent possible. As such, I firmly believe it is time to stop letting this pandemic control our lives and we as a nation return to the old "normal" as much as possible. Don't get me wrong, I am all for people voluntarily wearing masks, getting vaccinated, etc. to help end this pandemic; but I don't believe the government has the right to force such measures especially when I constantly see those "high risk" individuals continue with their unhealthy habits on a regular basis (the drive through at Whataburger is always crowded). Oddly, it appears now that some of the restrictions have been lifted in this state, most of those I see in Walmart or other high risk areas not wearing the masks are the obviously highest vulnerable (i.e. older and/or overweight/unhealthy).

Not quite grasping the point here, are you?

Holy shit, am I really getting that fucking old? Marilyn Manson? Never heard of her... This was the concert shirt that caused my Mom to think I was heading for hell back in 1979...

We've been needing to resurrect this thread...

Rest in peace, Murray Walker!

It's a PA photo op. Nothing else...

I am offended by your gender specificity! Some of us older guys need those as well!

Jonathan Pie, a fictional political correspondent character created and portrayed by English comedian Tom Walker. Pie appears in a series of online videos in which he rants and explodes in anger about the state of British, American and Australian politics with the videos being presented as though he were a real reporter speaking his personal opinions to the camera before or after filming a regular news segment. https://www.jonathanpie.com/

Ummmm....OK! Rudy Giuliani's daughter says she's polyamorous and loves threesomes (insider.com)

Don't judge it until you've seen the movie... We just watched it and although I had serious reservations as well, I have to admit it was outstanding! Big props to Murphy and Hall for balancing the old with the new! I won't say any more until others have a chance to watch it, but it is definitely a great movie and I will probably watch it several more times as there are always subtle jokes that you don't catch the first time around.

It's out! I've waited 30 years for this! https://www.amazon.com/gp/video/detail/B08R114191/ref=dvm_us_or_cs_sh_all_21C2ALA_s1_i0

First, you have shitty taste in music! That said, no one is stopping you or anyone else from listening to it. Therein lies the rub. Biden is wrong for not reading Dr. Seuss. It is tradition to read those books on Read Across America Day. Hell, even Former President Barack and Michelle Obama said “We love Dr. Seuss in this house” at the 2015 event. https://nypost.com/2021/03/03/barack-and-michelle-obama-praised-dr-seuss-during-presidency/ And aren't the Obamas the "gold standard" in woke opinion?!? Of course the upside is Dr. Seuss books are now selling like hotcakes! https://www.nydailynews.com/news/national/ny-sales-dr-seuss-soar-after-announcement-titles-drop-racist-imagery-20210304-qqn635rjwbcsddliwgsb5xs6wi-story.html This is what the world has become...

Better damn well believe we're gonna fly our flag! Come and take it!

Somewhat on par with the "official story," but also somewhat "spun"...
