CROWS EVERYWHERE posted:We folded our flag up like that at the end of the day in primary school and given as that was in an Australian state school with an Australian national flag I don't think it's some special "dead soldier funeral caskets ONLY" flag folding style. Either that or we were Very Serious about our flags. Given that we actually took our flag down when it rained and were told it's a mark of high disrespect to have a flag up in the rain, which doesn't seem to be a thing in the US, we may have just been Very Serious about flags. I'm not trying to say there's only one reason that a flag is folded that way. I learned how to fold a flag in the military, but the military is very traditional and has a historic reverence for the flag that you won't usually see in daily life otherwise. But I don't think the military has a monopoly on flag-folding or anything. It's just the perspective I know best from which to comment about it, I guess.

I hate to be that guy but when I was a bartender I was serving a guy at the bar and he asked me to put on the Bruins game on the TV next to the Caps game that was on. I asked him if he was a fan and he said offhandedly, "yeah, I used to work for them" and I nodded and went on with my night. The next day my cousin (who worked at the bar with me) asked me how I felt serving "hockey royalty" and I was like what are you talking about? She told me that was Rod Langway, whos number is hanging from the Verizon Center and also worked for the Bruins' development squad as a coach.

I'm American and it's also considered disrespectful to leave flags up in the rain here, at least by Very Serious About Flags people. I actually recall being told by an elementary school teacher that if a flag got wet in the rain, it would have to be burned. Admittedly I live in Southern California, so leaving things out in the rain is rarely an issue.

For me, it's not that he has a flag folded up that like, it's that he has it folded up on his dashboard where it will get dusty and be subject to excessive amounts of sunlight. I can't think of any proud military person abusing the flag like that. Like mentioned previously, the only ones I've seen are in shadow boxes from either retirement or funerals and they are given places of prominence inside the home.

Also, the only weird thing about it is that somebody edited the Wikipedia article to say G. Robert "Bob" Evans III. Chris Evans's dad actually is a dentist named Bob Evans.

Apparently that is a Congresswoman so I can kind of believe that happened. Also she recently switched from the Republican to the Democratic party. Edit: When you can't even come up with good 's in your fake stories. Trebek has a new favorite as of 15:38 on Aug 17, 2017 |

I used to get really old copies at the doctor's office and from my mum's friend clearing out her collection (in the UK). I liked all the dumb jokes but also have never forgotten a sad story about a premature baby who was so sick that her whole guts were all mush and she died. And also a kid with Mobius syndome, probably? Who had an operation so she could smile

There was a tiny Readers Digest/Womans Own (Something like that) pull out pamphlet in a storeroom in Primary School when I was a kid that sometimes during recess I'd hangout in there and read through it. It was all paranormal stories like "A ghost saved my daughter from a rogue badger!"

IME Reader's Digest stories are mostly obviously meant to be taken as jokes, or at least aren't as smug as a lot of the stuff that gets posted here. Now and then you get a forehead smacker but they're not as obnoxious most of the time.

Best readers digest was the one about the radioactive boy scout that was published years before the book was written. For those that dont know it was about a kid that tried to build a nuclear reactor in his back yard.

The helldump I mean this guy is the goat. angry bee dance posted:Well, that probably started when I was very young. I grew up in a small town of about 1200 people with a big family, and I'm the smallest out of 2 brothers, 3 sisters. I used to get beaten unmercifully. Then I started going to school, and fighting was pretty normal. Nothing particularly nasty with what you see people getting their heads stomped on in youtube these days. Bloody nose, busted lips, maybe a baby tooth knocked out, cause back in the day, if there's a fight and someone went down, you waited till they got back up.

This is definitely just posturing to hide the fact he stabbed him self in the hand like a dumbass with an added bonus of trying to make people who don't like neo-nazis, look bad because lol free speech Why miss an opportunity to make sure you don't look stupid to people for stabbing yourself and then make someone else look bad by espousing your obvious political beliefs and racism
