Sit down and pay attention; The world's richest man is about to get some advice from a fork-lift driver.

It's past time for you and President Trump to get over this immature pissing contest. Grow up and get over it and get back to work.
A few suggestions;

(1) End telemarketing. Find the bass-turds and bomb them.
(2) Declare Willie Nelson a National Treasure.
(3) Award Chesty Puller the Congressional Medal of Honor.

I can second the nomination of Chesty Puller, killed on Okinawa. I believe he was a Marine Corps Brigadier General? Something like that? Willy Nelson is kind of a mess, ain’t he?

Chesty Puller retired from the Marine Corps as a Lieutenant General & passed away in Virginia in 1971 at the age of 73. Noted for saying 'We're surrounded. That simplifies the problem. Now we can fire our weapons in any direction.'
Our schools would do well to teach less 'Woke' and more Chesty. !!!!

Say what you want about Willie Nelson but hey, he outlived Richard Simmons !!!!! [Cool]

Okay, I looked it up and you are correct, and I must be mistaken? I’m pretty sure he commanded the Marines on Okinawa. There were some US Army units as well, it was a joint operation.

It’s okay by me. Hey, rename one of those forts for Chesty! It’s the least we can do, right? Or, how about renaming The Cottontail Ranch?

The Chesty & Puller Dreamland on US95!

It could work!

I dunno ................
A couple of decades ago the I.R.S. took over management of the Mustang Ranch over tax issues.
It went broke.
Proving that the government cannot even make a profit selling whiskey and pussy. [Eek!]

Mayhap name a nice rifle range after him ???

I’m thinking more like a line of intimate apparel.

Chesty bras! Puller briefs! IDN?

Let’s brainstorm this stuff! Bring it on!

Good hunting. El Bee

edit: but you’re right, a rifle range is certainly worthy of consideration. Somewhere in eastern AZ? Maybe that little burg you reside in, yeah?

I've got a neighbor that's big on handguns, shoots at our public range and goes to City Concil meetings.
I'll mention it to him.

I don't understand it ...............
The hurreried I go, the behinderied I get.
I'm confused. I used to work full time and have plenty of time to get everything done. Now I work part time and have a wall full of sticky notes around my calendar and that only goes to the middle of next month.
Something needs to be done, I tell ya !!!! [Eek!]

WORK? What’s that like? I remember having a job, somewhere, until I quit. Never looked back. But, the money was nice, as I recall?

This forklift thing; is it off-road? Do it require being licensed? What does a forklift driver actually do, when there is no stuff to lift? You get breaks? Or is it pedal to the metal from clock in to clock out?

What a juvenile response! You are cute!

All I want to know….Are you the guy that is damaging, (with hidden damage) every damned thing I buy at Walmart! I KNOW it’s the forklift driver that carelessly damages practically everything they put on the shelves! Or the stock clerk! They do their share, but it’s the forklift driver that punches two 1x4” holes in the bottom of every flat screen TV box. I’ve seen them do it!

Never mind and don’t apologize. I’m just kidding 🐒

It's usually the night shift stockers.
It's called 'Down-Slamming'. [Eek!] Take a case off of the pallet and toss it halfway down the aisle to about where it goes on the shelf. Blame any damaged goods on the warehouse.

Edit to add;
If you find ANY canned goods, food, beverage, pet food etc. that has any damage / dents to the seams, DO NOT BUY IT. The integrity of the seal could be lost or the inside coating could be exposing bare metal to the product. Either way, really bad things can happen. Botulism or toxic metal poisoning comes to mind.

"Loan Proceeding" ........... [Eek!] ........... OMG !!!! ...... El Bee's going to Disneyland ????? [Eek!]
(A loan on your house is about the only way anybody can afford to go see the Mouse these days )
Hint; They don't sell booze in squeaky clean Disneyland but if you hop on the monorail to the hotel, hit the bar for a couple and ride back to the park the 'wallet rape' doesn't hurt quite so bad.

And another thing; They need to name something after the great R.Lee Emery. Mayhap a street in Hollywood or a strip joint somewhere. Truly a great man.

I have not been to Disneyland in probably 15 years? I used to have a girlfriend and she had a son and daughter-in-law with a bratty son. They bought season tickets to Disneyland consecutively. That seems dull and an unimaginative way to blow a weekend.

My wife was a grocery checker at Von’s for many years until her clavicle degenerated because of the back and forth across the scanner. Anyway, the Retail Clerk’s Union always had an annual day and night exclusive at Disneyland, and we went several times. It was a good deal because of the lack of crowds and long lines to go on the rides. But, an annual pass means those people lacked imagination for recreation! Just my opinion. Some people spend their life at the Elk’s-same thing.

Good hunting. El Bee

There used to be some type of guns and ammo TV show that Lee Emry was one of the hosts. He was nothing like the hard ass drill sergeant in FULL METAL JACKET. I will say this about drill sergeants, in general. They are superbly conditioned and most of them had 20 years on me, for instance, since I joined at 17 years old. The Marine Corps boot camp has no difference between US Army Basic Training. Both are tough and concentrated. It seemed to me that a recruit either gained 25 pounds or lost 25 pounds, depending on their condition upon enlistment. One of my fondest memories was being dry shaved by the first Sergeant on Bivouac. Then we marched 20 miles with gear through an area with Poison oak in the vicinity. Damn! I went nuts! I volunteered to drive the deuce & 1/2 between the mess hall and the campsite, snuck away and went on sick call. They gave me some cream that soothed my face but it still scabbed and looked like shit. Ah, memories!

He was on several programs. Mail Call, Locked 'N Loaded, and a couple of Gunny Time offerings.
All very watchable and a vast improvement over the current info-mercial Pablum most outdoor channels are pushing.

Yes, I’m sure. What I wanted to establish is that Emry was a pleasant personality, unlike the Drill instructor of the movies. But, he sure captured the flavor. And then the Brian Kohberger character shoots him in the latreine? (not correct spelling, but my spell check offers no replacement) Anyway.

I have an old fashioned photo album with Army stuff. My father gave me a decent, for the time, 35mm camera. We had a photo lab at one of the Rec rooms and I used to develop my own film and print enlargements. Of course, it was all black and white film, but again, it was more than almost anybody else in the company.

I developed a friendship with a 1st. Lieutenant, I was a driver for one of the other officers and as it happened, I got in a fist fight with this 1st Lt at the company Christmas party. I thought I was headed for Leavenworth? Actually some observers saw it and believe me, it was big topic back at the company. However, he drove me back to the barracks and we became lifelong friends, as sometimes happens. When he was rotating back to the states, I took a bunch of photos of him and sent them to him after I developed them. Not a big deal, and actually, over the years, Nancy corresponded with him at least as much as I did. He was a family friend and I went back to his funeral in Omaha when he passed away.

We had 2 company reunions of the 25th, one at Lake Tahoe and another in Las Vegas. Nanc and I went to both of them and so did Peterson, he also came out and spent a week as our guest somewhere in those years. There was a bit of a controversy in Tahoe because a few of the attendees thought it was improper for an officer to attend the reunion. Seemed like total bullshit, to me? Pete was my very best friend from Army days, we were planning a trip to Europe to visit all the US cemetaries scattered all over Western Europe. They are well taken care of and quite beautiful. Then he died. But, for many years, he organized frequent trips all over Europe and mailed news letters afterwards. They were quite entertaining and instructive. Jim Peterson was a good friend.

So, another trip down Memory Lane.
Good hunting. El Bee
