LZ CORK–THE DeLOREAN CFR BACK TO 1970

Posted on October 12, 2019 by asknod

BRIAN KOLFAGE–SAUCE FOR THE GANDER?

Posted on December 23, 2018 by asknod

As most of you know, I am not one to detract from other Veterans outfits-or Veterans themselves, for that matter- unless they become rude, crude, socially unattractive (or boorish) and embarrass the collective Veteran community. I have always been consoled by … Continue reading →
