THE BROWNS BOARD

How would you like to wake up with this mother fucker crawling on you?


Recommended Posts

During a mortar attack one night I dove into a bunker where the next morning some guy killed one of these giant forest scorpions. From then on I decided to take my chances behind sandbags in a hootch. No more pits where creepy crawly things can go to live. Ironically a few days ago I got stung by one of our local 2" brown scorpions on the torso when he crawled up inside my T-shirt. Just checked webMD and used soap and water followed by ice pack on and off every 10 min. for 2 hours and two Benadryl. The ice made the stinging stop by numbing everything pretty quickly. I was not allergic to the sting fortunately.

The Guinness book of records has the largest centipede at 10" so unless that is something else you can file it under "fake as fuck"

Try millipede. 15" is the longest.

Sounds like a Blumenthal story.

Nope. It is not. If you have paid any attention here you know I'm pretty straitforward and don't make shit up unless I identify it as made up for the fun of it. 

And BTW I didn't have to create fake bone spurs to keep me out of that situation. I just went. Dear Leader is an armchair warrior/coward. End of story.

Again millipede and centipede are different arthropods.  An elephant can grow up to 12' tall, so therefore a hippopotamus can. After all they're both gray mammals from Africa, right?

I really did not like John McCain as a politician. As a human being I questioned his pettiness when he went after Sarah Palin and did not even want her to attend his funeral when she always remained loyal to McCain and even to this day will not say anything negative about him. Apparently he was ashamed of her conservative beliefs and he was talked into putting her on his presidential ticket as VP for political strategy reasons while he really wanted democrat Joe Lieberman instead. He was delusional believing if only he had picked Lieberman he would have won in 08.

All the problems I had with McCain had nothing to do with his military service and he deserves to be honored for his sacrifice to our nation and  for spending 5 years as a POW in North Vietnam. Trump who could have served in the military (I agree the bone spurs were likely just something a person of means could use to keep out of the draft) had no business in attacking McCain's military service. While Trump was living a good life in New York McCain was being held under terrible conditions as a POW. 

There is a reason though many veterans support Trump and that is he supports them and he has shown that.

True. But the original post did not claim either. So if a hippopotamus can't reach 12', can a giraffe hippocampus? They are both hippos after all.🤠

speaking of hippos, your constant hateful 100% unsubstantiated lashing out at Pres Trump is like you lefties hating EVERYTHING about America because you lost the last election.

It makes you look like:

With much respect for you sucking it up and going where you didn't want to for your country!!!!!!!!

Knowing what you do now...would you go again under the same circumstances? 

Maybe Trumps family circle new of the fucked reasoning and the no good to come from this war.   Was/is Cassius Clay even more deplorable than Trump?  He used his belief.......

But I need to point out again with utmost respect ....you was following crazy leaders then and you're following them now.  Trumps not that dumb...shame on him?

"Mohammed Ali" said "aint no vietnamese never call me no N*****"....thsts why he didnt go. He concientiously objected to an immoral war. This was back in the 60's, with how black people were OVERTLY discriminated against back then...thats a dubious call expecting them to go fight a war against other brown people who just wanted to run their country how they saw fit.

Quoted from "people asked" page......You are the funny side...correct....

He converted to Islam and became a Muslim after 1961, and eventually took the name Muhammad Ali. He won the world heavyweight championship from Sonny Liston in a major upset at age 22 in 1964. In 1966, Ali refused to be drafted into the military, citing his religious beliefs and opposition to the Vietnam War.

Due to the Sullivan act I kept my older brother (AF Pilot) from going to Vietnam since he received orders for it while I was there and they changed them when he informed them he had a brother in Vietnam already. So the answer is still yes. And it was not that I didn't want to go. I volunteered to become an Infantry Lt. Do that and you pretty much just asked to be sent to the war. They reinforced that notion the first day in Infantry Officers Basic so we would get it through our heads the war games we were learning there in school from real Vietnam vets would some day save our lives if we paid attention to their hard earned wisdom. They were right. 

And Trump did not earn the right to say he preferred soldiers who weren't captured in reference to John McCain, as if he had any choice after being shot down in N. Vietnam. And McCain actually was disabled by that event,  unlike the bought and paid for bogus bone spurs.

I was 11 in 1970 and not sure it it was the mind of a child or feeling that I just didn't want to die but I found myself thinking how my father would disown me if I scrammed to the ~A~ country.  What to do....not a lot of freed minds during the war.   You are brave indeed!

Trump was wrong for that statement but I feel he's trying and that can make up for some disagreement in venting.  He is crying for some positive media that would bring out the true American dream.....and its not always easy!

Just now, hammertime said:

Service doesn’t give you a license to be stupid, ignorant and lazy.

not you Diehard but the Texas trans.

and he never explains WHY he says stupid things again and again and again and ....etc.

He feels great emotionally, but it's nonsense. Surely he has some kind of idea it is.
