Posted on April 9, 2014 by asknod

I can’t believe the Army promulgated this new regulation. Hasn’t anyone been keeping up with the Navy and Marines for the last 70 years? They invented the tattoo-especially big naked women with big naked boobs. And now the Army has … Continue reading →

I apologize for my absence. I have been birthdaying, April Fooling, and repotting over one hundred-odd tomato plants. In addition, I have been selling them to benefit our local, non-aligned Veterans Services Organization- KPVeterans– or Key Peninsula Vets as we … Continue reading →
