Under the Banner of Heaven by John Krakauer Exercised by Daniel Lieberman Transylvanian Cuisine by Paul Kovi Mak, I read Under the Banner of Heaven some years ago...and it was fascinating. I can't remember where I read it, I don't know if it's in the book but it was something along the lines of...i...

Goddamn I sure could have used you in college AEN!! Hilarious!

I finished "No Easy Day" awhile back. I had made a personal promise not to read any Navy SEAL books but we went on a little mini-vacay and I took it. It wasn't a bad read at all. I'm about to re-read Dune.

I think what makes the second go-round a richer experience is the continuity. Back when it was on...it started in '99 and went to '07...you went nearly a year or longer between seasons. Nothing's lost in the gap now. Yeah, we saw him too as the bellhop. We're in the last half dozen episodes now and ...

The wife and I have been on a slow 3 month re-watch of this series, usually one in the evening maybe two on a weekend night. There's 86 total episodes. We watched it all when it was in its first run with the series ending in '07. It really is a wonderful bit of storytelling and it still holds up wel...

There's only one person that can get us out of this mess: Snake Plissken.

Well goddamn, the Buxman stopped by to see how the riff-raff, miscreants are doing! Hey you dirty bitch are you finally taking "regular" showers now like the rest of us?!? Remember guys and gals, this fucker decided forever ago to just occasionally lightly rinse his quasimodo-shaped body w...

Mak, I don't know but if it's losing friends, marriages, jobs etc. then it almost assuredly is some form of a RPG (role playing game) and that shit is cray cray. I had a married friend some years ago that nearly got divorced from playing World of Warcraft. That dude would stay up all night playing t...

Unrelated but I'm looking to play something else...I've done nothing but play Call of Duty exclusively for like forever. I didn't buy the latest game, Cold War...still trying to play Modern Warfare but for whatever reason latency has made it almost unplayable. I need something to break my attachment...

So I'm reading the paper this morning, yes a real newspaper, and there's a feel good story about two female Holocaust survivors that found each other after 82 years. They were nine when they last saw each other and they're 91 now. He's my issue so feel free to correct me if I'm wrong...although they...

I don't watch the show...only because I don't have Disney+ nor do I see getting it but I saw this morning that Gina has gotten herself caught up in a social media shitstorm of her own creation and she's out. Sounded like she was going to be part of the expanded Star Wars universe and now it's over.

Bram, it aired on November 24...the current one if you go to the Real Sports website.

Bram...not being a smart ass here...watch the last episode of "Real Sports" on HBO. There's an portion that specifically talks about what you just asked and some very promising treatment.

Late to this thread...perhaps not quite the same thing as the original post but I believe some of the more high speed military schools do something like this. If any of the Rangers are still occasionally stopping by, perhaps they can weigh in.

Looks like she's on the 'Gram but I'm not going to follow her to see what's in there.

What about our Dirt Diva? I tried to get her over here years ago but some of you miscreants scared her.

Baff...hilarious. Yeah, no shit. That's why I can't bring myself to read any of their stuff. It's the same fucking thing...first half them going through BUD/s and second half whatever the book is about.

I'm loath to admit I'm just finishing up, "No Easy Day". This is one of the countless SEAL books out there, with this one specifically about/by a Team 6 guy that was on the raid that killed OBL. I've had the book for quite a while, given to me as a gift, and I just couldn't bring myself to...

TROY! Where you at?!? I've got money burning a hole in my pocket and I don't know what to do! I need to do something ASAP to help absolve me of my white guilt!!

Benji that was an excellent read on the NFL. The other stuff is fascinating too. Excellent find.

Uhh guys and gal...these comments are validating Timmah and I was kinda hoping we could ridicule him. What's next, hand-holding and singing folk songs? What the hell happened to everyone? Where's your rage?!?

Waking up this morning preparing for work and realizing I've lived my entire life till that shitty moment I didn't think I could fall any deeper into despair but then I read this and know that I have much further to go. I want to hit you with my purse. One with a couple of bricks in it.

WHY IS THIS HAPPENING??? Christ, he's made it all up!! Timmah's mangled run-on sentences plagiarized from old episodes of Gunsmoke has led to this?!? There's some sweaty, pimply-faced, young Hemmingway-Fitzgerald-Ford clone working his ass off writing the greatest shit no one has ever read and here'...

If he isn't he wishes he was.

Hey let's hold on a sec and really think through this. STEPHEN ALL-CAPS has the ability to drive the most peaceful Buddhist monk into a homicidal rage. He's quite possibly the biggest Debbie-Downer in the entire history of mankind. If Stephen was around when the dinosaurs roamed the earth we'd have ...

Dr. DownLow...awesome description of your pops. Similar to mine but add a deep fondness for alcohol, an uneven unpredictable temper, and a love for violence. I struggle to aptly describe him. I would not call him racist in a textbook definitive sense but I'll immediately contradict myself by saying ...
