With the advent of a new meme, the FedEx guy, it got me to realize something: I don't think I'd really care of I saw idiots burning or stomping on a US flag. It would make me think less of them, but I wouldn't charge in there and tackle them or deploy a fire extinguisher. What about you other dads?

it's the idiot's flag too, you know. Better than the idiot turning an 18-wheeler into a bystander destroyer....usually.

I wound up selling it to some high school kid who had been saving from a part time job. Met him and his mom at the Walmart parking lot. Super friendly.

Stuff like that, I'd probably cut a better deal. Let the kid keep $20 to spend at gamestop or something.

Well, if it was a poorer kid rolling up with mom in a beat up minivan. If it was a richer kid whose parents were trying to teach him a lesson, full price.

My red beans and rice starts with the holy trinity, put in the red beans, add some home-blended chili powder, toss in some sausage, stir with white rice and then add hot sauce to taste.

I make the rice separately.

I get the beans in water in the cooker, on high, for something like 10 hours. To that I add a handful of spices like marjoram, bay leaves, pepper, and a block of chicken flavor. I don't add the sausage until about 2 hours before it's done. I've found that putting the sauasge in with the beans causes them to burst and split.

I want to try your way this week. Gonna buy some Julio's special homemade spice. poo poo is full of MSG so it must be delicious.

Best representation of the army in film, has been and will always be, In The Army Now with Pauley Shore and Andy Dick.

Go ahead and lie to me and say it isn't, and I'll back that claim with Sgt Bilko as a runner-up.

Pauley Shore is awesome in his own way. He pretty much grew up in a comedy club slinging beers and cooking and then made bad decisions in film that involved a Baldwin and it was over.

I ruled Stripes out of realistic when Sgt Hulka tagged along past boot. But you can also rule it out for the graduation scene.

In The Army Now nailed the army experience. Desert war, a useless enough unit to be forgotten about when it was lost, qualified levels of intelligence in the actors portraying the military servicemembers, a goddamn kumbaya moment with the whole scorpion on dude's back. The least believable thing about the movie is the interaction with special forces dude at the end and I'm sure way more unlikely things have come about in real life in the army.

Sgt Bilko gets a nod more for representing the shady side of the army, aka, logistics. Aside from the hover tank bullshit, it could read similar to real life. Also because I knew at least one of each personality in that movie while I was in.

Stripes is great, and littered with nuggets of truth, but isn't as accurate as I'd have preferred. Because it would have been nice to smoke in boot.
