The General Musings of Falkie2013 (George Senda, The Guy From Pittsburgh)

[Falkie2013]

Whoa!  The Falkster must be in the hospital (again). Look how long it has been since he posted.  Get well, brother.  Love the back and forth in your thread.

I am reluctant to say anything for if I do, I get the usual bs of giving TMPI.
But knees went out for 3 days, incredibly hot and humid here and was going to do videos last night when my kitchen sink which has a leak flooded the floor. And somewhere is my broken glasses which I can't find and am wearing my broken broken glasses and wondering where in hell the other ones went to.
And MY glasses are NOT ones I can get off the rack like I can buy a tire. Not $ 100 either. Frames $40, Transitions $40, etc.
Astigmatism, trifocals, nearsightedness, scratch free coating and Transitions because I'm light sensitive to sunlight.
Every two years eyes change and need new exam and new glasses. Tried contacts but could not see Imac screen.
Some would say that would be an improvement. 
Video after nap. Just got done putting animals in ark ... Cleaning up floor after taking Kathy to lunch.
Would also have done video last night but it was like an oven in the bathroom.
Knees feel much better and tomorrow will walk to Starbucks with Ipad and IPhone and do a video there.
And I've not talked to the serial bs artiste Little Chris in weeks though I did talk to Drone last night & hope his kid is ok.
First video will be on a 50 year anniversary & it has nothing to do with me except through my observations at the time.

Thank God for global warming.

Holy hell, you'd have done an installment in the shitter?  I concur, thank God for global warming!

Your next video should be one of you sipping on your $10 coffee while sitting on the shitter, and bitching about how hot it is... and how broke you are while talking with your new pal Dave. Sweet baby Jesus, that would get a shit ton of hits on the tube.

come on Nick.  I wouldn't begrudge a man a cup. 

10 bux for a cup.  Come on Falk, really?  What are you getting?  A Venti Triple Caramel latte with extra whipped cream and triple shotz (be sure to leave room for a 1/4 cup of sugar)?

No, I go in and get a plain, normal cup of coffee with no scalded milk, caramel or other perversions.

Now to digress. MY internet provider had a server crash that covered ALL of Northern California. Their network is maintained by AT & T.
I talked to Paul who has AT & T and his net crashed as well.
Service was down for about an hour. I could send but not receive emails.
Did anyone here have similar problems ?
I don't know about Comcast or satellite stuff.
Nothing in the news about it as yet.
Had to delay nap as I had to call the provider and wait with 14 people ahead of me.
And first site to load properly :

Fox News. 
Liberal SFGate wouldn't work at all.
IS Obama plot.

It may just be me, but I think that if any service you are paying for has an outage, they should deduct something from your bill.

Your first video should be one of you testing the flush capacity of your toilet with your head stuffed in it about 10 times.

[3OctaveFart]

Falkie and I are cool and I want to apologize to him in this space.
I am the son of a Marine and opt for tough love by default.
Falkie knows I have good intentions.
Look forward to more videos.
And more entertainment on this thread.
As you were.

No apology needed. We're cool.

Downstairs neighbor and friend retired Marine 14 years.
Kathy's late Father WWII Marine.
One time disc drive repair partner John D. former Marine
Semper Fi & thank your Father for his service.
Before there were seals & the UDT, the Marines got sent to do the jobs the Army wouldn't or couldn't do.
First adopters of tough love.
Once a Marine ...

Do you believe in reincarnation? Don't come back as prey. You'll bypass the stalking/chase/kill stages and simply look for the hunter..You're that easy to wind in after the bite.

[coaster]

My father broke his neck in the navy. They said he would never walk again. This was in the early 60's. Took him awhile but other than the six inch scar on his neck and the one on his back where they harvested bone, you'd never know. The guy just turned 71 and still works full time. Made a full recovery. From a broken neck. Yeah, our military folk are tough as nails.

Are we invited to come down and be anonymously part of the audience?

Is this you basking in reflected glory?  Before there were SEALS there was the SAS and the SBS. And Commandos. For someone who is a self professed polymath, your grasp of the basics is woeful.

I concurr.  Those maggots at Ass, Tounge and Toilet make money hand over fist.  They are quick to charge you and slow to serve.  You better push those assholes, Falk.

I am more curious about why you didn't join the Marines yourself, than read how you and the falkster are cool.

[Who]

Falkie,

Today is Giorgio A. Tsoukalos's birthday.  How do you intend to celebrate? 

Maybe you could wear this t-shirt in your next video!  I heard Giorgio wears a Falkie t-shirt.

[Yorkshire pud]

Falkie,

Today is Giorgio A. Tsoukalos's birthday.  How do you intend to celebrate?

Hair care products? As for what he'll get Giorgio; who knows? Falkies latest book?

[ACE of CLUBS]

Falkie .........Today is Giorgio A. Tsoukalos's birthday.  How do you intend to celebrate?  .......

Ask Giorgio for money ......

[Falkie2013]

Is this you basking in reflected glory?  Before there were SEALS there was the SAS and the SBS. And Commandos. For someone who is a self professed polymath, your grasp of the basics is woeful.

Putz, you're an idiot. SAS founded in 1941.
Commandos founded during WWII.
Marines 1775.
Deployed Dominican Republic, and first ampibious operations were long before those men were in diapers.
During the Spanishâ€"American War (1898), Marines would lead American forces ashore in the Philippines, Cuba, and Puerto Rico, demonstrating their readiness for deployment. Between 1900 and 1916, the Marine Corps continued its record of participation in foreign expeditions, especially in the Caribbean and Central and South America, which included Panama, Cuba, Veracruz, Haiti, Santo Domingo, and Nicaragua.
Don't ever try to school me in history because I and my friend Maroney know all about it and particularly military history and you'd lose every time.
I've wargamed multiple  scenarios and even gamed with active duty troops when I used to hang out on military bases using sand tables and other methods of the day like Fletcher Platt's naval rules ( which Maroney hass acopy of somewhere ).
I, Maroney and our wargaming group gamed hundreds of scenarios when our wargaming group met when I used to live in his building. We fought battles of the civil war, Napoleonics, WWI & II and many other battles and we knew the history of those battles and I would read up on the side or commander I was running in the wargame. We did that once a week for years and Maroney and I would play individual scenarios in our off times hen we weren't working.
IF I don't know about a subject I look it up on the net or go buy a book. Before I lost my storage in 2001 I had thousands of history and military history books ( and paranormal books ) that I had collected since the 1950s. And a lot of Army, Air Force, Marine and Navy manuals and official histories like Samuel Elliot Morrison's on WWII and multple editions of Janes.
If I don't know about something he does and I ask him about it. He has thousands of military history & history books stacked up in his apartment.
My original major in college was history and except for ethnic studies courses I took every history course offered by 3 colleges and got A's & B's while doing it.
But one can't expect you to stay on topic with yet another ad hominem attack, can one ?
I was not interested in ethnic studies because the courses are so radicalized by liberal & ultra Leftist professors.
I was referring to Marines being deployed all around the world in amphibious operations promoted by two Commandants.
I have books on the history of the Corps and the Army in my apartment and gave one to my neighbor as a Christmas present and his nephew is shown in one of the pictures in the book.
He, too, is a Marine and I have great respect for them & I am not basking in their glory but was making a statement that I knew and know Marines who have been my friends.
And someone criticized me for listing my books on my forum and blog.
I do it to show people what's out there, what I am reading and to give them a sense of the history of a topic, like UFOs, cryptids and the like.
Just got a new book yesterday where the author thinks ALL UFO reports and encounters are based in fantasy which is patently ridiculous.
I'll do a review of it once I finish it.
I've wasted enough time dealing with your idiocy.
I have videos to do.

[3OctaveFart]

  I am more curious about why you didn't join the Marines yourself, than read how you and the falkster are cool.
Semper Fi.

I regret not joining. Too busy chasing ass and being selfish.
America is the greatest story this planet has ever told and the Marines are part of that.
You fight with Falkie and you can't help but want to buy the big lug an ice cream afterward.

A Feisty Falkie, and I sure do like to see that.

I said SEALS Dumbfuck not Marines. I'm well aware when the Marines were formed. You're like a wind up toy..perceived slight and you go into overdrive rant mode. And as for splashing out on the 'idiot' pronoun, you really ought to look in the mirror before having the temerity to use it on others. Get someone to tell you what temerity and pronoun means.

[Falkie2013]

I regret not joining. Too busy chasing ass and being selfish.

You fight with Falkie and you can't help but want to buy the big lug an ice cream afterward.

I second Octave's remarks about America and commend him for it.
Last thing I NEED is ice cream. I'm trying to lose weight.
Now if you want to buy me an iced tea, that's a whole different matter.
It's hot here. I've got to find the receipt for my portable a/c so I can get the part and sit here in 61 degree comfort.
3 videos on the way with a 4th after I go to Starbucks. It's too damned hot in this bedroom to stay in here & 2 for 3Octave Fart himself with more coming later tonight once it cools down.
Video one is at the 1/2 processing stage. Will post it upon my return while I see if Aldous is lurking in downtown Martinez.
And a very special one about a certain clueless & idiotic  troll poster on here as well.

[coaster]

Doesn't Falkie live in Martinez? Weather.com says its 71 there. That is not hot. Throw a fan in a window..
