This is a take of a scroll I bought in Iwakuni, Japan in '87 while doing a tour overseas in the Marines. Anyone that has ever served can understand...Seriously this was in peace time: our troops now desperately want to come home. This might bring a chuckle to even the best of the roughest of our best-WHICH OUR WORST IS BETTER THAN THEIR BEST!
If you people do not understand this, you do not belong in my country-
Here we go-----
I am drunk, sick, pissed off, stupid, hungry, and have a hangover. Flat broke, need a haircut, tired, and did not get any mail. No women, no friends, and damned few relatives.
I am in debt, poor character rating, #### poor pro and cons, overtime in grade, rank all frozen, day all F'd up and no clothes-laundry rejected, missed chow, leave disapproved.
Lost my shot record, no cigs, no chew, coffee burned my tongue. Ate up with rash, can't shave, failed inspection, 3 days AWOL, and the 1ST SGT wants to see me after this formation.
Horny as a sheep herder, got VD, about to shiite in my pants, and the latrine is off limits until after the inspection. And then some son of a biscuit tells me, "Re enlist for the benefits".
Jr wont make the chase. Vicks goin' to jail. Carr's gonna get fired. Appy state will win national title for NCAA football. Notre Dame thanks Michigan. Stewart will be drivin' a TOY. Mark has the 8 in 08.
Since the NFL, MLB, and NBA seem to love the headlines, NASCAR STARTED FEELING LEFT OUT. Your roving reporter felt it necessary to mess up and report from behind the scenes. Yes, yours truly, IBEN GONAWILE.
A sad day at Chucky Cheeze by geeze- Harvick and Montoya were arrested for stealing tokens from little kids by Chucky's police. Montoya was heard shouting, "Wait till Villeneuve gets here" to Harvick.
Dale Jr. was arrested by the BUD police after drinking a Miller Lite given to him by Kurt Busch. His comment was, "Kurt, this Bud's for you!", as Kurt slurped down the halfway drank Budweiser which Jr had given him in return.
More to come on this issue.
Teresa and Dale Jr. were seen frolicking hand in hand in Las Vegas.
Tony Stewart was found wandering aimlessly at Lowes yesterday. Kyle Busch found him and offered him a Miller Lite. He was arrested on the spot for under age possession of alcohol while screaming, "Kurt, Kurt". At a press conference at Home Depot, Jimmy Johnson vowed to press charges for criminal trespass, and the waste of an almost perfectly good beer since he spilled it all over the floor when apprehended.
Carl Edwards will miss this next race due to the fact that he sprained his little piggy on his accelerator foot while doing his last back flip.
The owner of Haas racing left the court room today sobbing, "Vick told me to do it!"
Speaking of Vick, why isn't GREYHOUND a sponsor in NASCAR?
I have been away because life called me. Other people needed me. I did not have the time to #### foot with some, nor did I have the time to talk to my friends. I did not have the time to joke or fuss-I had to take care of life-those that I love took a back seat because of this dammed computer-I have another errand to run-I will be back to continue.
You all have no idea how much FUN I had trying to keep this clean.
She does have a nice buttocks. AGREEEEE???
I just found some new info for you all and it aint about the 8, BUD (Although it is good), DEI, GINN, Hendrick,blah, blah, blah... It's about a teenage kid that found an ARMY recruiter, that had tried to turn his life around. He dammed near did----but....our government found a way to screw him over.-----MORE
He was a skinny little runt that played with drugs, booze, and the law. Nobody ever gave him credit or a chance. He was laughed at when he said he was joining the Army. He enlisted and started the transformation-from a boy to a man. He tried, he gave, he listened, he learned, he cried, he cussed, he bled, he helped his buds until.... he broke a bone in his leg with 3 weeks left in boot camp. He got checked out with the medics, did what he was told, continued to follow orders, and do what he was able until.... one day, ONE day, before GRADUATION, he got his pink slip, he got his orders, that he was being kicked out, KICKED OUT,...for good, FOREVER good BYE-we don't NEED you anymore.
His mother has written several letters, "To Whom It May Concern".
I am a MARINE VET and that just aint right----HELL, that's how most veterans start out-they did not even give him a chance.......
I do not want to get into what our troops go thru now in war- IT IS WORSE THAN YOU CAN THINK-UNLESS YOU HAVE A LOVED ONE IN THE BURN UNIT-OR IF YOU HAVE BEEN PRESENTED A FLAG
I have a couple of thoughts on our PUBLIC fishing areas as well as the private landowners.
gimme a sec-...
FISHERMEN AND WOMEN WELCOME!!!!!
Seems small doesn't he??
My front door--ooops i waaaaas driiiiiinkinnn?
Do you like to fish? -----------------------------------------------I do and I enjoy it. Do you eat meat? Do you eat fish? No matter-The point is that I, along with several other hundred thousand individuals, millions in reality, have served our country, hoping and praying to come home to a country where we can relax and resume our lives. I guess that really does only happen in Disneyland. I tried to take my step son fishing last night, out in the country. We were off the beaten path, away from crime and drama, seeing rolling hills, cattle, pastures and beautiful fishin' ponds. Every door I knocked upon had the same answer---NO---Because some jerk offs before me ruined it-trash, garbage, tearing up the land, leaving gates open, shooting cattle, and even throwing beer bottles at the owner's house, not just the house, but targeting the windows at 3 in the morning. Can you blame the land owner? NO Needless to say we did not go fishing, but I met some damm good people.

I have now returned, unfortunately for some, unexpectectedly for others, delightedly for those very few. Are u ready 4 a little bit of hate and discontent or have u had your fill?
I luv my buddy, oh yes I do, I luv him so much, thru and thru.
Oh yes I wish to enlighten you all with the brotherhood of sports.
Please give me a minute while I bash my bud for another BUD.
If I may say thank you to all my fans here and tell them I love them.
I told you that was my quarter dammit!!!
Dag gone it Cale, you need this here helmet!!
That was my bubble gum--MINE-MINE-MINE!!!!!
This is a funeral procession for 19 Italians slain in a terrorist attack in 2003.
Did somebody do something right?
Heck, I don't know, but I heard somewhere that Dale Earnhardt loved John McEnroe
just for his competitive spirit. John won 7 Grand Slam Single Titles----
Machine Gun, Grenade, 40mm, MK19 Mod3 (Heavy Machine Gun Team, AMSTA-LC-CSIH). A self-powered, air-cooled, belt-fed, blowback operated weapon, the MK19 is designed to deliver accurate, intense, and decisive firepower against enemy personnel and lightly armored vehicles. It is used in offensive and defensive operations and will be the primary suppressive weapon for combat support and combat service support units. The MK19 is mounted on the HMMWV, M113 FOV, 5-ton trucks, and selected M88A1 recovery vehicles. The MK19 was originally developed to provide the U.S. Navy with an effective Riverine patrol weapon in Vietnam. A Product Improvement Program (PIP) was initiated in the late 1970s resulting in the MK19 Mod3. MK19 Mod3 40mm grenade machine gun (U.S. Army photo)
I will be quick, blunt, and to the point------US ARMY SOLDIERS told me our government is taking this weapon away from our troops due to the fact that "IT IS IN-HUMANE". Exact words from soldiers preparing to be deployed back to IRAQ. They also informed me that their 50 caliber machine guns were being taken away from their unit due to budget cuts. When I asked them what their unit commanders thought, they said "They are pissed off!" From the Captain on up to the Colonel. They will make do. They will improvise. They will find a way. "That's all we can do" was the answer to your and my questions about how to cope.
This was at a parade which I attended. When I asked why they were wandering around in the circus festivities, they simply replied, "For PR, you know the drill, the recruiter asked us".
ABOVE-A MARC bot for detection
It's every Soldier's nightmare, and a favorite of insurgents everywhere -- the Improvised Explosive Device (IED). Almost anything that blows up will do, from grenades to plastic explosives to leftover mines. The most everyday of electronics -- a cellphone, a garage door opener, a child's remote-control toy -- can be recast as a trigger. And the hiding places for these handmade bombs are everywhere: in the ground, aboard a truck, even inside an animal carcass.
In January 2005 alone, guerillas in Iraq have set off 974 of the jury-rigged weapons - forty-one percent of the insurgents' attacks, the New York Times says. More than half of U.S. casualties in Iraq are from IED strikes, according to estimates from the Lexington Institute.
I'm a vet-I'm tired of this stuff-Of course this all goes on what the soldiers said-I have no documents or orders-It just brings me down a bit folks.
A couple's car broke down in the Wal Mart parking lot. The husband told the wife to do the shopping while he fixed the car. Once the shopping was complete, she returned to find a crowd encircling her car.
Upon closer inspection, she saw a pair of man's legs protruding from underneath the frame. Although wearing shorts, the lack of undies was glaringly apparent to all.
Embarrassed and shocked, she dutifully reached up into his shorts, tucked in and re-arranged his private parts. As she stood up victorious, her glance went across the hood and found her husband staring questioningly. The mechanic ,however, had to have 3 stitches in his forehead.
More to come.
I'm a vet so no offense meant-------
MILITARY INTELLIGENCE-NOW THERE IS A CONTRADICTION IN TERMS!!!
BULL RIDING IS THE MOST FUN U CAN HAVE WITH YOUR CLOTHES ON FOR 8 SECONDS!!!!!
Now that JR is going to be partners with Jeff Gordon, will Pinkerd & Bowden redo their song, "JEFF GORDON'S ####" ??????
BE BACK-NEED MORE BEER!!!!
If a cowgirl rides the bull, which one is the steer?
PLEASE RE READ THE TITLE FOR THIS ONE-PLEASE!!!!
#### Poetry----This is a take off from a joke from somewhere that never happened to me.
The National Collegiate Poetry Contest was down to a Harvard Grad and some #### bull rider that got a judge drunk whom was seated on the ruling committee-No Affiliation-
The Harvard guy was first to have at it---
Slowly across the desert sand
Trekked a lonely caravan
Men on camels, two by two
Destination Timbuktu.
The preppies and yuppies went crazy!!! Applause thundered, and screams of approval sliced the auditorium!!! Now the bull rider slowly limped his way to the mic---
Me and Jim a huntin' went
Met 3 gals in a li'l pup tent
They was 3 and we was 2,
So I bucked one and Timbuktu.
-----------------------------
A seal pup walked into a club!
A hunter got shot by a skunk.
The last act of defiance- I hit a possum with my truck late one night-the next morning I had a flat tire-the mechanic showed me what caused the flat-A TOOTH!!
MILITARY CADENCE-VETS UNDERSTAND, PLEASE, THE REST OF YOU TRY TO KEEP IN STEP.

For those of you who know me, you know that I have shown a silly and stupid side of headlines in our world today. Yes I am still new at this bloggin' thing, even if PHOTO released my rookie status. I have never met the man but I respect his views, comprehension, and humor. I wish more people could be such an inspiration. What I am about to write has absolutely no humor involved. The last Flag Raiser has Passed On.
CHARLES W. LINDBERG--ONE OF THE FIRST FLAG RAISERS IS GONE-THE LAST OF THE FEW, THE PROUD, THE MARINES THAT TOOK MT. SURIBACHI.
Do you have any idea of what this picture means? Portrays? The significance?
The answer is coming below.
Easy Company had been fighting four days. They had 40% casualties to date.
THE FIRST FLAG RAISING-- MT SURIBACHI FEB 23 1945--Hank Hansen (without helmet), Boots Thomas (seated), John Bradley (behind Thomas), Phil Ward (hand visible grasping pole), Jim Michaels (with carbine rifle), and Chuck Lindberg (behind Michaels)
THE FIRST FLAG COMES DOWN AS THE SECOND FLAG IS RAISED
THE SECOND FLAG RAISING
THESE ARE THE BOYS THAT MADE IT TO THE TOP--- SEMPER FIDELIS
FOUR OF THE FLAG RAISERS (BRADLEY, HAYES, SOUSLEY AND STRANK) appear with their jubilant buddies. STRANK AND SOUSLEY, and many of their buddies would soon be dead.
CHESTER W. NIMITZ--- OF THE MARINES ON IWO JIMA,
UNCOMMON VALOR WAS A COMMON VIRTUE.
I am a Marine veteran of the 1991 Gulf War. I dare not consider myself in the ranks of these heroes. I only wish to enlighten you to the sacrifices which the military endure so you may speak your mind.
Charles Lindberg spent his life explaining that it was his patrol that raised the first flag, not the Rosenthol photo which has gone into history. SEMPER FI MARINE
