LOL you don’t need a word of Spanish to understand symbolism. Art is a universal language. The only barrier was racism.

They’ve been asked and won’t do it. NFL wants pre-recorded instrumentals only so they said no unless they can actually play.

Next year’s halftime show: Weird Al Yankovic and the Wu Tang Klan. It’s time.

If I wanted to watch an SEC game my ancestors would not have bayonetted so many confederates.

Still think about this one. It felt like the only halftime show that was for Elder Millennials. And they nailed it.

I remember one. They were still finding and convicting them in in the late β€˜80s. This guy was sentenced to death but skates on it.

My wife just sent a text and I fell to my knees in this Costco. I screamed, β€œshe said I can get the expensive air fryer!” All the other dads in the store huzzahed. One pulled out a fiddle and started playing an old timey jig.

The man buried reports (made by Eisenhower) of MacArthur’s corruption in the Philippines? The man who falsified a Medal of Honor citation for that same MacArthur after he was chased out by the Japanese? The man who tried to impose a Wehrmacht style general staff on the U.S. after the war?

Yes. He had a musical number.

Train yourself to focus on your goals as hard as curlers focus on whatever the hell curling is.

Yes and the gunnery doctrine is literally the same publication. Even says both services on the cover.

Some PAO did an amazing job making this look like it was remotely a big deal. Promote above peers.

Army and Marine Corps successfully shared fire mission data at recent exercise - Breaking Defense As part of the Army's Next Generation C2 capability, the services demonstrated how joint interoperability can work, in line with the Pentagon's JADC2 vision.

LOL what? We could do this 30 years ago. Army and Marine artillery units fire together all the time.
