I'm actually kinda suprised how many military guys we have here. Webcomic about videogames doesn't exactly line up with most of the service members I've met in person.
How often did you actually work with the cavalry in your army career, Joker
That is, how often did you work with them at Fort Sill
At basic training
Except all the complaint's ive heard have come from guys who have had multiple deployments. One was a lifer.
My favorite story was from my sisters boyfriend about taking friendly fire from some Cav-Scouts, and they ended up calling in air support on them because they thought they were Insurgents.
I mean i dont want to have a no true scottsman arguement here, but it seems like your experience is the exception not the rule.
What leitner? Man most of the US serviceman I met were hella game players. And PA has the right kind of humor to hit on those duders.
There's playing bit of COD4, and then there's 'oh have you played final persona five, the dwarf is clearly the best'. I don't know, seems the site is for good or bad aimed at the latter.
Justin is having early 2000s pop punk nostalgia hour.
I love Blink-182 AND YOU CAN'T STOP ME.
I'm currently listening to the Dropkick Murphys cover T.N.T. from a live performance in '97.
I'm with you. I went and saw them and Greenday at some huge tour back in the day, it was sweet.
Also love Dropkick.
The Pop Disaster Tour in 2002. I remember that because when they played at the Comcast Center here, it was a week after high school graduation when I had been on that same stage for the graduation.
Yup that was actually my first concert. My dad had to go with us because our parents didn't trust us to not get murdered or something, but he was cool about it.
Aw, you went to your first concert with your dad.
When I was 14, my first concert the WBCN 1998 River Rave. A big mish mosh of bands. I think '98 was headlined by the Red Hot Chilli Peppers. I went with 2 friends. During Pennywise, they announced they were gonna have a signing at a booth. So I told my friends I was gonna go over to the booth and wait for them to show up.
I was first in line. I waited for 45 minutes. Then I see my friends running around in a panic and I'm like "Heys guys, what's up?" "WHERE THE HELL HAVE YOU BEEN!? WE COULDN'T FIND YOU AND FREAKED OUT AND CALLED YOUR DAD ON A PAYPHONE!" "Um, I told you I was gonna go over to this booth and wait for them." Turns out, my dad was at the gate trying to be let in to look for his kid but they wouldn't let him.
I missed the signing and the end of the show because my friends dragged me out of line and to my dad and we all left. My friends are idiots.
CONCERT STORY [chat] GO!
I was at warped tour one year, walking through some massive crowd to get close for some band, when I stepped on something squishy. I look down and see some unconscious young girl face down on the ground. No idea why she was unconscious or why nobody else was doing anything, but I grabbed her and started dragging her out of the super-tight crowd. Some other skinny high school kid saw me struggling and came and helped out, and we carried her together. Eventually some hulking musclebound guys took over and did a much better job carrying her to the EMTs.
Then my friends were all "where the fuck were you?"
Doubly relevant concert story. I was at Warped once (say 99?) and was watching Dropkicks. Some asshole starts crowd surfing with spiked boots. There's a commotion behind me and then he opens a gash on the side of my head. I start punching him in the side of the head as some kid who had to be under 13 is bleeding like a stuck pig next to me until he gets pushed away and I think gets dropped into the pit on his head (perhaps not my finest moment but fuck guys who crowd surf with blades/spikes/even big studs on their jackets/belts/boots). Security starts yelling at me from 40+ feet away, with easily hundreds of people between us. I yell back "what are you going to do?" gesturing at my cut head. They obviously weren't doing their job protecting the crowd since they let the guy in with huge spikes on his boots in and then didn't do anything as he hurt multiple people and there was no way he was going to push through the crowd to get me. He literally shook his fist at me. Then one of the songs DKM play that everyone sways to came on and I lost sight of the guy

haha what?
Everyone plays video games in the US military.
What I don't get it why games like Modern Warfare are so popular with soldiers. It would be like me coming home and relaxing with a copy of RPG Maker or Sim Code Monkey or something.

Most people in the military are not trigger pullers
But a lot of them have a fascination with the whole idea

4 ounces flour
1/2 pint of milk (or filtered water)
1 egg
1/4 teaspoon of salt
Mix until thick and creamy. The rest of your recipe is fine though.
The dude has never made pancakes at home. I was being nice.
Also, don't completely write off top shelf pancake mix. It's premium flour, salt, and powdered egg (the only non fresh ingredient)
oh uh
this is good to know for when I actually have a kitchen
but I was actually asking for the story. See, he showers first the morning after they cuddle each other to sleep, and she's trying to make something that will be done in time for him to eat after his but still be good for her when she finishes hers. Pancakes seem to fit the bill. Thanks!

He shook his fist at you like a Scooby Doo villian. That's fantastic.
I, uh, I know I've made this point to Pony before. Shoulda been more clear in my summisation, my point was this place is pretty damn nerdy lets be honest.
On the pancake tangent, my wife loves banana pancakes but I find this often makes them mushier than I expect. Maybe it's just too much banana but is there anything about Banana's which make them particularily bad for making a good pancake?
also, I am mighty glad the russian didn't invade us like in world in conflict
we'd be screwed, if my dad's perception of the military has anything to do with the state of the whole
he claims he never saw or heard a working radio while on exercise.
Now I'm no soldier and I don't know that much about war, but I feel like I'd rather have a working radio than a working gun. So maybe making sure more than half of your radios work would be a good idea.
Oh and also, we'd be damn easy to defeat by simple electronic warfare. In one exercise a unit was banned from it because they screwed everything up by simply sending false orders to the "enemy". Everything was a complete mess.
So if all the russians would need to send us running around like a bunch of chickens on cocaine is a guy who speaks norwegian and a radio, well, we'd be fucked.

Um, most breakfast foods would work for that. Eggs, French Toast, etc.

My one experience with pre-mix was unpleasant. Also, my mum was always baking, so I have an appreciation for home made stuff. Sorry for any offence.
oooooh
opps?
haha what?
Everyone plays video games in the US military.
best results for pancakes is always on gas ovens
preferably in one of the self-service cabin somewhere in the mountains after walking for eight hours
best pancakes ever.
