In other SCIF idiocy, last week someone got their badge pulled for typing in their team's chats "They won't be laughing when I bring a bomb to the ops floor."

But they would be laughing, which makes it funnier.

Citadel cadets kicked off the Civil War.

Uh, correct?
http://www.citadel.edu/citadel-history/war-deaths/war-between-the-states.htmlOn 9 January 1861 Citadel Cadets under the command of the college's Superintendent, Col. Peter Stevens, fired what many consider to be the first shots of the War Between the States when the battery at Morris Island opened fire on the federal ship Star of the West that had been ordered to re-supply the federal garrison manning Ft Sumter in Charleston harbor.

Wow, brings back a memory of a cop that thought a great second date would start with HIS kids serenading my friend with PA and sirens. It turned out GREAT, a touching ending!

She had enough connections to make sure that he never contacted her again.

I worked a gun range that had a rental Deagle in Gold Tiger Stripe. After being a Range Safety for a renter firing it, I told them to quit charging by the box, because nearly no one fired more than a mag through it.

We went from charging 30$ a box to 20$ a mag.

Still rented so much it was clapped out within 2 years.

Was this the one at Don�s with the bitemarks?

Kidding aside, "grey man" is an aspirational goal for all kinds of soi-disant ~*aMeRiCaN :bAdAsSeS*~ who like to think they look unremarkable while going about their Very Important Bad rear end Business. I first encountered the term reading an interview some retired CIA-gull gave about his career where he said that was what all the spies were like. Sure, the 30-year old Ivy League frat bro who doesn't know any local language besides "one more" absolutely can't be picked out of the crowd.

Aha, the only actual actual PI that (I know) I�ve met was a slightly attractive, slightly fat back woman, and and she was amazing at fading into the background. I called her a bullshitter on this, as it was a neighborhood bar (one of two then, one of one now) and for a couple of years she took great amusement in tapping my shoulder and saying hi, even after I obviously scanned for her every time I entered the place.

Yes, her wig game was part of this, even so it was pretty fun. She told me she could be ignored anyplace, and then took cellphone pics of every couple in the place. I took one then got threatened, lol. I should drop by that place again, it�s been a long time.

Terrible bar otherwise, except for her having the only pinball machine within 5 min of my house. Oh, it had that guy named �Dave� that could have won a David Cross lookalike contest. He never knew why I remembered his name, as he had no idea who David Cross is.

I was told going low key was the goal in basic, but I got hosed immediately by the first sergeant. He was retiring, and the first afternoon just as he was knocking off he asked for me by name, and said he was going to Australia for 3 months during terminal and he wanted to talk to me while we were all getting smoked so... gently caress me I guess.

Oh poo poo now I know how my Viet Nam novel is starting.

When I think of �brilliant but utterly stupid� Ben Carson jumps to mind. Amazing brain surgeon. Dogshit in every other way.

I�d dispute this, you would think that a brilliant surgeon would care more about what happens during the full period of care not just the time under the knife, but he didn�t seem to. Even the German conjoined twins that made him famous, somehow, never had normal lives, due to bungled post-surgical care.

Dude is like an AL* pitcher that never had to bat, but also never knew how to handle a bunt, a dropped pitch, or a pop fly.

Prednisone absolutely gives me rage control issues. I can recognize it now, and do some breathing exercises to calm down. Because I�m on Prednisone A LOT unfortunately.

When I was in my early 20s I lost a job because I was so insane on it, and for decades I avoided it.

We've bombed more, and the Chinese embassy wasn't an accident. We hit it with multiple GPS guided munitions in an attempt to destroy or force return of downed F117 material.

Johnnie was also the KKK in �The KKK Took My Baby Away� and IIRC the only Ramone that could stand him was CJ, whom he hired, and even he remained bitter about merch sales.

Johnny was also a fan of the second Bush, which is frankly insane. Unfortunately, it�s on-par for Ramon�s insanity in general.

I�ve been doing embedded software for a long damned time and I�ve been lucky enough to avoid gigs where my work kills or hurts people when it�s correct, aka �defense�, or when it isn�t: health, vehicles, aerospace, �defense�. Because the number of comprises required to get a product out the door may be reduced in these industries but not nearly enough.

Google hasn�t turned up a follow-up from that 90�s article on quality software.

When I was a kid it was possible to drive through the local Army base, the now-closed Fort Benjamin Harrison, accidentally. I talked to a dude that told me got a DUI there and because he was a civilian on a military base it hosed his life even more than a normal DUI.
