Give him a Trump Camp response.

"This is an Open Forum. A beautiful forum. Here we talk about anything. Everything. Even the Civil War. Which was a beautiful war. And Congress. It's my Congress and they do good things. For me. Buttfucking. Some people like buttfucking. I don't. But some people do, and that's ok. I don't agree with buttfucking but I'm not opposed to the people who like the buttfucking. I only buttfuck Democrats. In a consensual way. You're gonna love it. Buttfucking is a beautiful thing. Just give it two weeks. They will be ready."

We might have to chat about history stuff sometime, bore the crap out of most of the fora folks. >:)

"I came here to talk about buttfucking and you two are discussing some Civil War general who was also a Congressman, pimp and an Ambassador who claimed to have banged Queen Isabella of Spain???? What the hell is wrong with you people?????"

I have the same affinity. Also a deep desire to understand our path, past to present, lessons learned, in hopes of gaining necessary perspective in being a steward of my children's future.

A man after my own history nerd heart, buddy. And I know of a few other regulars on here who appreciate it just as much.

Keep it up. Good stuff.

Thanks. I have an affinity for stories about heroes in history, and that includes the furry and feathered ones.

Myrtle the Parachick is probably where that started. I read Cornelius Ryan's book A Bridge Too Far the first time when I was about 16, and Myrtle was about a half of a page, if I remember correctly. I don't recall if Myrtle was in the movie though.

Fun Fact:

You can bet on almost anything in the United States one way or another. But one commodity has been banned from being traded as futures contracts: onions.

The Onion Futures Act of 1958 was passed in response to two traders cornering the market in order to manipulate supplies and then flooding the market to make money on shorting their positions, bankrupting large numbers of farmers. The story of this is quite interesting and be read on the Wikipedia article.

The act was amended in 2010 to also ban contracts on motion picture box office futures for.... reasons.

Fun fact:

It is an interesting thing when you study electronic patterns... In short, since everything is becoming internet transmission based, there are companies that control the content that gets pushed out over all of these internet based transmission channels. This includes robo-calls to your land line and cell phone, spam or scam texts to your cell phone, spam e-mail and geographically targeted TV commercials. If you become sick and tired of the electronic annoyances of robo-calls, spam or scam texts, find the companies responsible for that content and file complaints... Keep filing the complaints until the annoyances stop. For the geographically targeted TV commercials, the best one can do is flush or delete the targeting I. D. number within your cable provider's service to you. To find that, it is within your cable box's settings.

With studying and then doing this process, I have no more robo-calls on my land line and my cell phone, no more spam or scam texts on my cell phone and lessened the targeted TV commercials. Separately, I have just won a big battle with spam e-mail and got an internet service provider to admit fault and completely delete one of their server's operating systems.

FF: Captain Sage, a yellow Labrador retriever, was the 1st dog to be stationed aboard a U.S. aircraft carrier- the USS Gerald R Ford (CVN 78).

"A female Labrador retriever named Sage has served as a therapy dog on the Ford since 2023, initially as part of a trial of the concept for the Navy. Sage, who holds the rank of captain, is “trained to alert to anxiety, reduce stress, and interrupt detrimental behaviors,” "

FF2: A Navy Captain with <2 years at grade makes about $8,100/month ($97,000/year).

You can buy a lot of dog biscuits and tennis balls with a salary like that.

Good’s contributions read like soft porn.
Ba bow chicka bow bow, cha chicka ba bow.

Enter Good, his shirt open to the navel, neck chains glistening, and a banana in the pocket of bell bottoms.

He spots Molly looking glamorous in a sparkly DVF wrap dress with a daring décolletage…

For proper comparison to the beneficial for more than 7 eggs per week finding, I'd set up my study to eat more than 7 pussies per week.

Not scrambled though. I prefer sunny side up or over easy. I really appreciate the wet. golden goodness that flows as I break in to the center.

For all you people that think the cholesterol numbers are real your DRS talk about its a scam.. do YOUR OWN research and talk with current DRs not trained by big pharma.. its all well documented in the GREAT CHOLOSTEROL CON book!

Drs, Hospitals, Dr Groups all get paid on how much they prescribe and its called kickbacks!

Your body needs cholesterol especially to ward off disease, dementia and other brain issues.

Big pharma's OWN 22 studies they kept from the public.. Even our yearly visit with heart Drs agree with its findings and cant argue the facts! The correlation is clear on the progression of disease with what big pharma prescribes!

Cholesterol is the foundation for hormones.

Do you know how to make a hormone?

Don’t pay him.

I had a widow maker scare in February 2024, when I went to the ER for something unrelated to my heart. Thankfully, a cardiologist had redone the test a week later at his office and stated that the person that did the ECG in the ER had inverted the leads; a common mistake.

So, I understand the mind-fuck that you had gone through in the early stages of receiving that news, Goodenuff. It is not a pleasant experience. Thankfully, you you survived and have gotten healthier after that news.

"The fun fact was that there was a 29% all cause mortality beneficial difference between those who ate more than 7 eggs per week over those who ate two or fewer. "

Trust me, the FF didn't escape me.

FF: 2 days after getting the "your serum cholesterol levels and other tests are fantastic- the best yet. keep up the good work." message from my doctor, I had a "widow maker" heart attack that didn't make Mrs. G a widow.

I had had (and still do have) my cholesterol, triglycerides, glucose/A1C, etc., etc., well within normal range for at least 20 years prior to that message.

To hell with eggs, is there a mortality study on eating pussy? If not, how would you like to participate in one?
