125 Back in the 80s they were developing a serious "happy fire" problem on New Years in LA.


The membrane over the concrete dome of the Superdome in New Orleans had to be replaced long before expected.

Residents of the St Thomas Project celebrated by using firearms with the Superdome as target (this was celebration, not target practice).

The suggestion not to do that was very widely advertised in NOLA. but the problem only abated when the project was torn down.

131 He told me if he was on duty for New Year's Eve he would find a secluded area just before midnight and just park there for about 20 minutes. One year he was on a call and couldn't do it. His car took a round in the trunk.

The favorite for the Dallas PD was to park under the highway overpass.

Oak Cliff Bible Fellowship used to have a midnight NYE service, communion at midnight then disperse. LOTS of gunfire once outside the building.

A coworker was getting a roof replaced on an old home in a now upscale gentrified area of the city; roofer informed them on the dozens of rounds he pulled out of the underlying roof material that apparently gathered over the decades.

Everyone of you has helped me, although you may not know it. I needed a place to hang and belong, and this place has certainly been that. Without the horde to turn to, I have no idea how I could have filled time that would have otherwise had me way too far within my own head. The caring attitude that the Horde exhibits to those in need is unbelievable to watch in practice.

So, to those of you who have directly helped, and you know who you are, I thank you. To the rest of the horde, please just keep being you.

Thank you all, and may all of you have a blessed and very succesful 2019.

You can always reload and reprime old 12ga shotgun shells filled to the top with your choice of powder. compress and seal it down. Then superglue a BB to the primer. Cut up some 3x5 cards and glue them to the opposite end of the shell to create a Jart effect.

Then when its time to celebrate, lob them in the air and when the BB/Primer makes contact with the ground you get a window rattling blast.

Closest thing to military equipment used for fireworks I ever saw was back in the glorious USSR, Navy Day in Leningrad. They had mortars set up along the riverbank opposite the Winter Palace, they'd fire red flares - hellacious report, booming echoes bouncing off the buildings, though the glass in our building - right nearby - would break.


Visual wasn't as great as it sounds - August, so, night-time was barely dusky - but the audio was outstanding.

Fireworks were the last justification for the existence of the Hungarian Navy. They kept a few boats on the Danube, from which the fireworks were launched on the national holiday of Aug.20.

After some grass fores on the Buda side, it was realized, finally, that the fireworks should be fired over, not from the river.

Yeah. They had I-10 closed at 43 Ave. I bailed at 59th Ave, went down to Van Buren, one of the suggested detours. It is under construction. Doh! Got to 19th Ave, and there was a wreck, cops in attendance. Hung a right, and went to Lower Buckeye, and stayed on it, going about 50 mph, until it met up with I-10 near the big bend.

And to me, those two Bond movies are and will always be the best.

Speaking of which, watched most of Casablanca on TCM last night. I think I actually enjoy it more now than the first few times I watched it, years and years ago. Hardly a line in the movie that isn't brilliant in some way.

you are good through tomorrow.

you know what is really funny? for some reason I was watching never say never when it cut off last year. when it started this year that same movie was at the top of my list. when I hit start it started from the middle of the movie where it cut our the year before.

305 For those who missed, the Dallas New Year's Eve display at Reunion Tower just put every other city's display (including NYC's!) to shame! 15 full minutes of fireworks shooting out of the ball on top of ReUnion (if you've driven through Dallas, you know what I'm talking about, it dominates the skyline) It was a hell of a show!

Right now I'm finding out how many neighbors I have who like to get drunk and see how many times they can empty clips in their glock in the air. Oh well, happens every year. I don't worry about the pistols, it's the heavy artillery that some people break out of storage that worries me a bit.

Remember above all else the next 2 years that we are Americans, not merely people who live in this country, so that head is held HIGH and PROUD.

It is OUR country and we WILL vanquish the socialist left. There can be no other course.

I would remind many of you about the oath we took that has no expiration date. We're going to be called on to fulfill it, so be ready. I can't say what form fulfilling it will take, only that events will demand it.

We'll prevail, as we have in other perilous times, so never despair or doubt. We will prevail because as Americans, we are denied the option of failure.

Never forget that.

Her first question was "Who said 'Give me liberty or give me death'"

No one answered except a Japanese kid who said "Patrick Henry, 1775"

Her next question was "Who said 'Four score and seven years ago'?"

Again, no one answered except the the Japanese kid who said "Abraham Lincoln, 1863"

The teacher said to the class; "Aren't you kids ashamed of yourselves? Little Hikuru was born in Japan and he knows more American history than you children who were born here do!"

Little Johnny yells "Fuck those Japs!"

The teacher demands; "WHO SAID THAT!"

When she finally got to Little Johnny he chose "urinate"

The teacher sighed and said "go ahead Johnny..."

"Urinate.. Urinate but if your tits were bigger you'd be a ten!"

Here is the Palestinian version of that joke, from a Grauniad article about the superbug epidemic currently in Gaza:

One of the Gazans dealing with the double impact of injury and superbug infection is Fahed Zuhud, 29. He was throwing stones near the border in February when a bullet shattered his leg. He was rushed to hospital for surgery, but his wound became infected and he developed osteomyelitis, a serious infection inside the bone which can often lead to amputation.

"Doctor, when I assault Israeli soldiers I get shot in the leg and it gets all gangrenous"

"Don't do that!"

I think the Grauniad meant for us to feel sorry for him, but it's not working for me.

493 This is nice, from the previous thread. I don't recognize the nick:

708 The scene, New Year's party:

Then the hands of the clock started to race like a tortoise and the hare and both reached midnight at the same time. The clock struck along with every clock in New York, and church bells, fire works, and ships whistles sounded all at once,turning the entire city into a hurdy-gurdy.

It soon got so cold that the men rushed to close the doors. When they had shut them and the room was again silent, they saw that several women had begun to cry. The women said it was because of the numbing air that had washed over their bare shoulders, but even strangers embraced sadly as they coasted into the new year and felt its strength commencing. They cried because of the magic and the contradictions; because time had passed and time was left; because they saw themselves as if they were in a photograph that had winked fast enough to contradict their mortality; because the city around them had conspired to break a hundred thousand hearts; and because they and everyone else had to float upon this sea of troubles, watertight. Sometimes there were islands, and when they found them they held fast, but never could they hold fast enough not to be moved and once again overwhelmed.
-----

Keep looking for your island, don't stop, never stop, and when you find it, hold fast.

Actually, if you believe in the validity of Milankovitch cycles, it does change sometimes into a more elliptical orbit. There are three separate cycles Milankovitch identified. Interesting thing is if all three align in the worst possible way the planet goes into an ice age. There's no scientific dispute about that. It doesn't happen overnight of course. But gradually the temperature of the planet lowers. Very naturally.

But if the temperature of the planet naturally rises after the end of an ice age, very gradually, it's entirely caused by mankind and cause for panic.

That's actually kind of alarming. If the gradual convergence of the three cycles was the cause of the ice age, then the gradual movement away from that convergence should raise temperature. Entirely naturally.

My personal theory is that all of the particulate matter that China is putting into the atmosphere is causing increased rainfall in the northern hemisphere. Which is lowering our temperature in this area and setting near records for rain.

Yup. A bunch of years ago I put an indoor/outdoor antenna into my attic area, directed at Philadelphia even though it was on the edge of the antenna range. Lots of sunspots then. Charged particles put a 'blanket' over the area and kept tv reception locked in. Really great reception.

Now? Can't get one single channel.

Once again the cognitive dissonance on the left; they know damn well that it takes a ratio of around three workers to one social security recipient to fund the system. But at the same time they don't give a fvck that millions are working 'off the books' and taking jobs away from people who would actually fund the system.

The answer? As always, higher taxes or reduced benefits for Americans.
