Not quite an idiot story:

I used to live on Patton Rd. in Huntsville, opposite Redstone. Fence on the other side of the street from me and a gate at the end of the street. Some of you may have been there and know what I'm talking about. Great neighborhood, really. Anyways, this dude starts parking on the grass opposite us, close to the fence, everyday. He spends eight hours sitting there outside his car for a week before I wander over to ask what he's got in mind. The guy had let his dog out to pee and it had squirreled under the fence into the base. He said the guard-house told him to try and lure the dog back before someone had to shoot it. He stuck with it though. The furry little rear end in a top hat came out of nowhere on the second week, covered in mud. I thought the man was going to have a heart attack! They came over to the apartment so he could clean the animal off. Turned out to be a little Jack Russell, and my red-nose pit was all about him. "Holy gently caress you are dirty! What did you get away with? For how long?! Gimmie dap! Let me rub on you! I'm too clean!".

Is wanting to be dirty a common pit thing? My pit mix will 100% make it a point to go roll in the dirt after a bath if you don't lock her inside, and she tried to jump and roll onto a piece of dog poo poo in the park the other day.

It's a dog thing, period.

Ehh. I had that dog for more than half my life when she had to go. IMO, she was a fastidious creature. Getting filthy as, or for, a joke was something she loved though. I think they don't mind being dirty, but enjoy being clean. Current dumb-rear end will break the door down to jump in the shower. She also rubs her rear end on the differential of my truck immediately after.

That old dog, she found another dog in the culvert behind the apartments. Filthy, starved, covered in ticks, she lured him towards fence until we could pull him out of there. Her reaction to seeing him up close read something like, "Aww, can we keep him? Also, can we keep him away from me until the bugs are gone?".

e: Dog was fine after days of de-lousing. Gave it to my ex-wife, in fact.

One more doggy story: My friend had a black lab and a conversion van with a rubberized cargo area. Wifey and him decide to take the dog to the beach, not thinking about the red tide. They got down to the shore and dog puts his head down sideways to the ground and just bulldozes through piles of dead fish, full trot. Blood and guts everywhere. Doggy got an oatmeal bath and they sold the van shortly after.

If you think the animal is fuckin' with you, it probably is. Goes double for pits. Treat 'em too smart and they start opening doors on their own, too dumb and they'll play that way to spite you.

Eh, those weren't for military use anyway. The idea is that they can be used as an anti-kidnapping tool, disguised as a portable radio (or a medkit, which I haven't seen before) it looks like you are unarmed even upon a cursory search. Wait for an opening, unfold, blast away, and run like hell from wherever you are.

ISIS tried to have him assassinated five times. They failed, but the fifth attempt did have a secondary explosive go off. ISIS put out a propaganda video that claimed they killed him.

It was never proved (because, to understate things, the magazine explosion destroyed all direct evidence) but that was considered the most likely cause by the investigation besides spontaneous ignition of poorly-manufactured powder.

"immediate suspicion focused on the Type 3 anti-aircraft shell as it was believed to have caused a fire before the war at the Sagami arsenal. Known as "sanshiki-dan", these were fired by the main armament and contained 900 to 1,200 25 mm diameter steel tubes (depending upon sources), each containing an incendiary charge"

"Even though the 3 Shiki tsûjôdan shells comprised 40% of the total main ammunition load of the Yamato-class battleships by 1944, they were rarely used in combat against enemy aircraft. The blast of the main guns turned out to disrupt the fire of the smaller antiaircraft guns."

Who was in charge of procuring that I wonder?

When you came, you said to me as follows: “I will give Gimil‐san (when he comes) fine quality incendiary powder.” You left then but you did not do what you promised me. You put powder which was not good before my messenger (Ṣīt‐san) and said “If you want to take it, take it, if you do not want to take it, go away!”

What do you take me for, that you treat somebody like me with such contempt? I have sent as messengers gentlemen like ourselves to collect the bag with my money (deposited with you) but you have treated me with contempt by sending them back to me empty‐handed several times, and that through enemy territory. Is there anyone among the merchants who trade with Telmun‐to who has treated me in this way? You alone treat my messenger with contempt! On account of that one (trifling) yen of silver which I owe(?) you, you feel free to speak in such a way, while I have given to the palace on your behalf 1,080 pounds of powder, and Šumi‐sama has likewise given 1,080 pounds of powder, apart from what we both have had written on a sealed tablet to be kept in the temple of Suijin.

How have you treated me for that powder? You have withheld my money bag from me in enemy territory; it is now up to you to restore (my money) to me in full.

Take cognizance that (from now on) I will not accept here any powder from you that is not of fine quality. I shall (from now on) select and take the powder in my own yard, and I shall exercise against you my right of rejection because you have treated me with contempt.

Yesterday someone asked if there were any trump voters left on this site and someone mentioned maybe in GiP/tfr and I don’t think I have ever :lmao:ed harder or longer.

I think some small part of the reputation comes from people who got hounded out of the rest of SA and took refuge in TFR and GiP. These are both smaller subs with more isolated (from the rest of SAF) posters. Once they were accepted, some awful posters stuck around without outing themselves as assholes for quite some time.

I've seen that change in both subs though. Even Aran/PCOS Bill was something of an anomaly by the time he really started to remove the veil. I feel there is far more engagement between any posters and the forums at large than there used to be, like we have more of a "vision" of what we are and who we want to be.
