Hey remember all those murders and poo poo happening at Fort Bragg?

Panic grips Special Forces community amid investigation into drugs, human trafficking

quote:

"This is what happens when there is no war, no direction, and an 18-month red cycle with no mission," a Special Forces soldier said. "So dudes are loving around with young kids and the craziest drugs. All these lives ruined because people are just bored."

Yes, this is "what happens" when you're bored because there's nobody foreign to go kill or get ready to go kill, boredom makes you traffic drugs and pimp underage girls to your fellow soldiers.

Drug trafficking at Ft. Bragg May have been going on for quite some time, if you want to believe Timothy McVeigh.

I mean if there's one trustworthy source in the world it's Timothy McVeigh. He never got anything wrong.

There's a foundation called deliver fund where ex special forces, ex intelligence and ex alphabet soup agents work to stop human trafficking and their work is incredible.

Before my buddy’s wedding we were holed up in a small room all day so obviously shooting whiskey. We had a bunch of sandwiches catered so there was a pile of pickles that came with them and I was taking a big ol bite after every shot. I probably ate three whole pickles that day.

Well either I invented it or yes, I have heard of it :v: Certainly not as common a concept in LA spots as Chicago/East Coast bars though.

One of the bars that was near my old office threw in pickle spears with every sandwich just so there'd always be sufficient stock of (real) pickle juice. That neon pseudo-juice crap they sell in liquor stores is foul. I wonder why Claussen or the other refrigerated brands don't just sell full jars of it.

We have a tradition that started with a pickle-based alcohol drink.

Two friend/coworkers decided to toast to Groundhog's Day Eve, on Feb. 1, but the only thing they could scrounge up in their drinks cabinet was a combo of Goldschlager and pickle brine, and they called it the Angry Groundhog. The side event to this was 'ice cream cone races', where one person would challenge another to fully eat one of those store-bought cardboardy ice cream cones before the other person could.

After the second year of this, Guam stopped carrying Goldschlager, or any other cinnamon-based liquor, other than Fireball, which was rejected. The challenge, then, was to find a drink combination that was "Surprisingly Not Awful", which would be crowned the Groundhog's Day Eve winner. The ice cream cone races continued unabated.

So contestants would go through the host's kitchen and use whatever liquors, mixers, spices, and other various ingredients that were available to create a Surprisingly Not Awful drink. 5 minutes per round, knockout style, until a winner emerged. Drinks that were too good or too bad would lose. It had to be something that looked or smelled bad, but the taste was better than expected.

I have a few weeks to prepare for the next one.

I tried my damnedest and couldn't find it but somewhere out there is a video of one of the 3D Mortal Kombat games where the fatalities are reversed so they affect the one performing it. Like say Goro ripping off someone's head but he just tugs and tugs until his own head comes off sort of thing.

Searching "Mortal Kombat fatalities reversed," "swap," "backwards," and "wrong person" didn't turn up anything. :saddumb:

One time in college I was at my then-GFs place. City locked down from snow. Not much in the liquor cabinet so I decided to combined Bubblegum Vodka and Butterscotch Schnapps. Sounds awful, but was actually decent. I named it the Bubble Butt.

Pickle juice is an incredible eraser for the worst trailing taste of cheap tequila, and thus it should be classified as a weapon of mass destruction.

Picklebacks own. Taking a swig of pickle brine after a long workout or during a hangover also a pro move.

Saudis have fingers in a lot of pies sports wise. They own 10% of like 50% of sports poo poo out there including racing teams and the ufc.

If there's a low bar to partial ownership and it turns even a mild profit they're in there.

It was just the most insane poo poo you would ever see on a wrestling show and kept topping itself constantly. Like time traveling alien man and the literal actual dragon dude who went from rivals to best friends. And the promoter feeding lovely wrestlers to his caged brother. Helped that the matches were brilliant too.
