Bird joins in.

Old but fun.

Dogs getting in on cats' roles as Chaos Agents.

Noses in.

The fundamental flaw with cat toys is that cats are demons. They speak in strange tongues.

Honoring the veterans of the meme wars.

We need the Ludarcis "Move bitch, get out da way" clip here.

Battle-lambs.

Well-dressed gent.

Owl upstages family.

Vulture wants a lift.

Alien paw syndrome.

And on top of that, he was naked and late for a test he didn't even know he had to take!

13 I'll go ahead and say this: I don't care if you're a veteran or not. If you held elected office then you shouldn't be buried in Arlington. No veteran deserves to have the headstone of a filthy swine cast a shadow on his.

Bury politicians in a potter's field. No headstones. Use it to dump used crankcase oil, so nobody will ever set foot on it. Once the ground is saturated, set it alight.

39 The crusty Navy Master Chief noticed a new seaman and barked at him, "Get over here! What's your name sailor?"

"John," the new seaman replied.

"Look, I don't know what kind of bleeding-heart pansy crap they're teaching sailors in boot camp these days, but I don't call anyone by his first name," the chief scowled.

"It breeds familiarity, and that leads to a breakdown in authority. I refer to my sailors by their last names only; Smith, Jones, Baker, whatever.

And you are to refer to me as 'Chief! Do I make myself clear?"

"Aye, Aye, Chief!"

"Now that we've got that straight, what's your last name?"

The seaman sighed. "Darling, My name is John Darling, Chief."

"Okay, John, here's what I want you to do ...."

91 I'll try to describe his silver star because it's a great story.

He was near a North Vietnamese ammunition dump. Sporadic gunfire. He got a phone call from a colonel not in his line of command telling him there were nine men trapped there, please don't return fire, we can't figure out how to rescue them.

Wendell (I did say we were twins) said, call and tell them I'll drive my jeep as fast as I can through the dump, and then turn and drive it as slow as I can back again, and it's their job to cling to the jeep however they can.

The colonel said, The general will never agree to that!

Wendell said, Well, then, don't tell him.

And hung up and did exactly what he said. He was holding a couple on, others were being held by buddies, not even touching the jeep. He got them all back.

I should probably mention that he was 6'6" and three hundred pounds. That may have made things easier.

100 The bullshit on Chappelle's comment just being about setting up a counter to Tony Hinchcliffe ignores that Chappelle spins for a couple of minutes on how Kirk's being dead brightens up his life: He's driving and he wonders why he's happy. He's not trying to be happy about it, it just has put him in a good mood.

And he realized what it was!

108 Also, Chappelle is saying people weren't supposed to have phones at his "concert". They have them lock them in bags they can't get them out of, you see.

And that going forward, they are going to have to figure out how to squelch more technology.

Wasn't it that in the middle of the cancel wave when progs had all the power, they said that if you have to hide what you're doing, then it's something you must be ashamed of? And that means you're a bad person?

112 My grandfather and his two brothers served in WW1, my grandfather and one brother in the army, the youngest in the Navy; all came back. A few years back I traced his travels, and it turned out at one point he was stationed just 40 or 50 miles from where his paternal grandfather was born in Lorraine, France...and probably never knew it.

Dad was inducted in September of '44. Although the troops he did basic with were shipped to Europe, he ended up in the Philippines (due to the Army losing his vaccine records and forcing him to revaccinate, making him sick long enough to not leave with the guys he trained with. Dad saw some combat in the Philippines.

115 The most prominent historical figures and claims associated with him include:
Hillary Clinton: His wife of over 50 years.
Gennifer Flowers: A former Arkansas state employee and actress who alleged a long-term extramarital affair with Clinton in the late 1970s and 1980s.
Monica Lewinsky: A former White House intern with whom Clinton acknowledged having an inappropriate relationship during his presidency in the late 1990s.
Other historical allegations and accusers from past decades include figures such as Paula Jones, Juanita Broaddrick, and Kathleen Willey.
For an overview of the former president's marital and relationship history, you can review the Bill Clinton Dating History on Instagram or explore historical context via the Ranker Guide to Bill Clinton's Relationships.
(Note: If you were instead asking about the 2024 internet drama involving musician Clinton Kane and his ex-girlfriends like Brooke Schofield or Mia, that refers to a social media controversy rather than the Clinton political family).
