The Original Old Farts Club

[ROSTERMAN]

 

[Unca Walt]

Don't fall for it Walt! The Rosterman doing favors is analogous to handing out candy to the unattended little kids at the park. Word on the street is that he likes chubby chicks and old gray-haired geezers.

Not to worry; I have ten times the arsenal. Lotsa "GI people" think like me.

“Civilians are like beans; you buy ’em as needed for any job which merely requires skill and savvy. But you can’t buy fighting spirit.” -- Robert A. Heinlein

 

[Unca Walt]

(*snicker*) (*snock*) (*snigger*) All I needed was an excuse...

"Which is heavier: a soldier's pack or a slave's chains?" -- Napoleon Bonaparte

And this one:

It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles, or where the doer of deeds could have done them better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood; who strives valiantly; who errs, who comes short again and again, because there is no effort without error and shortcoming; but who does actually strive to do the deeds; who knows great enthusiasms, the great devotions; who spends himself in a worthy cause; who at the best knows in the end the triumph of high achievement, and who at the worst, if he fails, at least fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who neither know victory nor defeat.
Theodore Roosevelt

Unca's Rejected Battle Cry:

"CONSUME BIOLOGICAL WASTE PRODUCTS AND EXPIRE, THOU PORCINE SLURPER OF POND-SURFACE FUNGI !!!"

 

[Unca Walt]

(*ahem*) Gawd tole ya to be a sojer, din' He?

"And he that hath no sword, let him sell his garment, and buy one."
-- Luke 22:36

And lookit Ghandi, Man of Peace:

"I do believe that where there is a choice only between cowardice and violence I would advise violence." -- Mohandas Gandhi

 

[Unca Walt]

And the breakdown -- proven over millennia:

"Out of every one hundred men, ten shouldn't even be there, eighty are just targets, nine are the real fighters, and we are lucky to have them, for they make the battle. Ah, but the one, one is a warrior, and he will bring the others back." -- Heraclitus

 

[Unca Walt]

This is not from me. Some day I will pass on some Starkey Stories. Not now, though.


"You've spent too much time with forms and papers. You think all you need is an eraser and a new pencil to change what you only watched from the sidelines. Those of us covered in blood and mud, wearing a necklace of ears, know how history is really made."

What a beautiful day. Almost 60 with sun and no wind. I could have walked in shorts and a t-shirt today. Tomorrow will be the same. Unfortunately it is gonna take a while for the snow to melt. About 3' deep in my back yard which doesn't get much sun this time of year. Another 8" is predicted on Wednesday. Here is my neighbors back yard taken from my deck.

 

[Hippie420]

Took all day to get up to 19 here. Started out at 1.

Nasty weather coming for the US. Guy I get most of my info from on youtube is talking tornados, rain, ice, and snow. Calling for 4-6" in my neck of the woods. Possible tornados in Louisiana and the Florida panhandle. Never know for sure, though. A butterfly in Beijing could fart and change the whole picture.

 

[Bubba]

Butterfly in Beijing eh? I just blew a fart so big my pants fit better. Oh no!

[Hippie420]

Bubba, weren't you the one that has a Sun Conure?

The Malawi Gold grow is not complaining
