they still had them blacked out when I was in '88-'92 I worked in the metrology lab at Barbers Point HI and we had to periodically go to sub base down near Pearl. Some calibration equipment is really expensive, so when we had gear that needed that machine, usually me and Jimbo loaded up the Navy van and took them down to sub base and borrowed their gear. We had the same sort of deal with the Marine base at Kaneohe I had some buddies that were on sub duty, too, and when they got back from patrol, we'd hit the bars. Submariners are absolutely nuts. but that's how I learned about the hull numbers

notice how we don't put hull numbers on our subs? that way if you see one and then later see another one, you really don't know if you just saw 2 subs or the same one twice a man's got to take every advantage he can

I thought that was the hiway patrol, not the Sig Eps!

exactly. The Russians aren't our enemy. They were for a long time, but that was a long time ago but for the old hippies, the Russians are still the "boogie man" the Russians are being demonized because Trump has a good relationship with Putin and Obama didn't. They also are still in denial as to why they are out of power. somehow they have convinced themselves that rural, redneck America voted against Hillary because of Russian interference in the election

something tells me "Den mom" doesn't want to actually be winter camping

just buy 2 boxes of chocolate mints and get it over with its faster in the long run

so why are they manning the guns? in case they run into a party barge from Oklahoma?

I think he might just be rating this parody as a "1"

I'm sorry, I see then now...front and back I thought the guys at the back were just chuckin dynamite

looks like a pretty classy place did you have to wear shoes and everything when you were there?

I can give you an arbitrary rating of 9.8 the guys at Parody Metric staged a walkout earlier when reports surfaced that the Parody Ratings they published were just made up numbers they took it pretty hard. Its a very dedicated bunch over there, tirelessly rating their little fingers down to the bone for you guys

only Texans would go bass fishing with a pair of machine guns

this isn't political unless the idea that the Russian navy has operated like this since the end of WWII somehow offends you. all I am saying is that this has gone on for decades, we do it to them, too.... and its never reported in the press. so if you see some news stories about the "Spy ship off the coast of Delaware" that sucker has been there for a while. The Navy yards in Philly and the sub bases there just about require a Russian spy ship to be sitting in that general area

we don't have a Navy base at Adak for nothing

when you play with somebody else, its always easier because you can work together. A quartet is probably the optimum for having help without getting in each other's way. Your brother was free to sing and didn't have to keep the strum rhythm going, so he was free to sing. You didn't have to sing, and so you could lock in with your brother playing the chords and your brother was singing in his natural register, too, like we were talking about last night playing solo is always harder. If you have some help, if you are having a rough night of it, your guys can pick you up, bail you out, even cover for you if you really fuck it all up when you play solo, there is nobody that can help. You not only have to carry the whole tune yourself, but if you get in a bind, you have to dig your own self out

this isn't political...I was just wondering if you knew that Russian spy ships sit off the coast of all our Naval facilities all the time. We do it to them, too. When I was in the Navy out in Hawaii 25 years ago, we always saw the Russian "fishing boats" sitting on the horizon outside Pearl Harbor. They are just fishing, you know. That and radioing in the hull numbers of every ship that goes in and out of Pearl Harbor SOP for military planes back then was to dump their fuel before they land. A lot of pilots would "douche" the Russian ships with JP5 on their way back to the barn When I was in, back in the late 80s we sat the USS Constellation battle group on the horizon outside of Vladivostok. The Ruskies about shit themselves when they woke up that morning and saw the Connie's task force sitton on the horizon. Imagine going to the shore and seeing a Rusian carrier group right there I had another buddy who had done a tour in the Mediterranean on a cruiser, and one time their task force went into the Black Sea to test the Russians. They say International waters is 25 miles. We say it is 12. So they went and sat 12 miles off the coast of the Russian Naval works at Sevastopol. The Russian can't shoot them, that's an Act of War. so the Russian saif they wer going to be doing maneuvers and the US really should clear the area. Then they rammed my buddy's ship! The Ruskies claimed they were trying to avoid the collision, but since they aren't very good sailors (the Russians are the only Navy to have the distinction of being even worse sailors than the Spanish) they couldn't get uot of the way. They were real sorry about the damage to the ship, but they warned us to leave and all...and this was in 1991, after the Berlin Wall fell and the Soviet Union broke up thing is, the Russian Navy never changed the way that they operate, so we are out there playing fuck-fuck games with the Russians all the time just giving some perspective on the stories of Russian "Spy Ships"

if you ask me we already have driverless cars out on the road....anytime you got a millennial behind the wheel, THAT' s a driverless car!

if you were doing power clean and chins, you were working your bicep plenty if you never did any arm work, then the shock of doing anything is going to make them grow. Most people have a body part that grows easier than everything else, too. Yours might be arms but you need to put the tape measure on them. You might be getting more definition and tone, but your arms really haven't really grown in diameter. just think how buff you would be if you supplemented with protein before you went to sleep

when I play this Sunday, I am near the end of the program. So I will be sitting there off to the side for about an hour without being able to touch my guitar, and then I have to play dead cold mind you, clean and clear because everyone is there specifically to hear us play music. No beers, no snacks, turn your cell phones off time. That's real pressure, actually and that is why I have to practice until there is no way I can make a mistake, because that is a very difficult performance situation the most difficult, in a lot of ways Even a solo Bach recital is easier because I can be warmed up when I hit the stage no such luxury this Sunday

I never heard that about Trek, but I wouldn't put it past him. In the early 2000s, on Lance's way to his 5th strait, the cycling market in America boomed. The TV ratings for bike racing boomed. The sport boomed like never before But the European fans knew there was something going on when Lance would be no where to be found for most of the season. They knew he was doping. Lance, to be fair, could look you right in the eye and say "yes, I took EPO. that was one of the miracle drugs that saved my life" so he never had to deny ever taking EPO. there also was not a direct test for EPO when Lance was winning those first Tours. They detected an elevated red blood cell count, so as long as you stayed under that, you could take EPO to recover and even top off your cell count when you needed it. And then Basso's mom had cancer and he asked Lance about doctors for her. Yea, right. Then Basso is busted for doping. I always felt that the officials at the top of the sport always knew, but as long as Lance could beat the tests, they really did not want to know. He was making everyone in the industry too much money and having America be a cycle happy nation like Belgium must have been really tempting. But that is why anyone who spoke out was run out of the sport. and then when Lance was done winning and couldn't make them another dime, the truth comes out

I would call Parody Metrics, but since JSharr thinks I just make this shit up, I'm going to arbitrarily rate this parody a 9.5

if that's not the hippy, then I'm a chinaman

listen, think about this from Greg' sside for a second...Greg LeMond is the REAL American cycling hero. 3 Tour wins is right there with the all time greats. And he beat one of the all time greats for one of those wins, too. The Badger was looking for #6 nevermind what he said he was doing. Greg also won the closest, most incredible Tours ever in 1989 and nobody knows him everybody knows Lance, who was doped to the gills Greg even won in 1989 after losing a year to getting shot in the chest with a shotgun I see the Greg LeMond hating as a part of the Lance era. Greg was right, but the American fans just saw it as some old has-been trying to get some of Lance's spotlight.

make up scores??? why, you silly bitch, we don't make up scores here at Parody Metrics. We hand craft finely calibrated parody ratings based on metric analysis and a lot of other math things that we won't bother your pretty little head with now but next time you are making sandwiches for the boys, just remember: the hard working men at Parody Metrics are using top shelf mathematics to bring you the most accurate parody ratings on the Interwebs!

don't worry about your organ shortage. Electronics are the first system to shit out on a car, so those things will be self crashing cars before you even have them paid for
