    I haven't seen a commercial in a long time. When I used to watch those channels I'd always mute commercials the second they came on.
    It's hard to be a ACLU hating, philosophically Libertarian, socially liberal, fiscally conservative, scientifically grounded, agnostic, porn admiring gun owner who believes in self determination.

    Chuck, we miss ya man.

    Oh no, not even on her best day. Too many high quality reds out there to waste it on Boones Farm strawberry.

    At work I've been hearing about getting or adding "logos" when signing new customers.

    “Real quick” (proceeds to speak for 10 minutes while adding nothing)
    “Walk the dog”
    “Kabuki dance”
    “Mute point” -anytime someone subs the wrong word into a common phrase, really.
    “Adjust fire” when not conducting a CFF.
    “Prep the battlefield on that”

    I despise pretty much anything that catches on with staff types that they feel the need to inject into everything they say. Especially if its something they borrow from grunts, and even worse when their use of it demonstrates a lack of understanding of the phrase. Its like trying to speak to a freaking parrot.

    Anything a senior leader feels the need to say constantly. Polly want a cracker. Bawk. Real quick.

    Bwahahaha!
    It never ceases to amaze me that some folks think every problem has a solution and that every solution hasn't been tried already.
    They sit in meeting after meeting and all they really need is to hand out a training calander and get out of the way.

    Imagine a version of hell wherein you have to discuss ITAR and EAR with some of those dudes, via VTC with a shit connection, and you don’t speak lawyer and they don’t speak arms, armor, and optics.

    LOL, we'd play 'senior enlisted bingo' with key phrases and words...."behoove", "shipmate", "mute point," etc.

    People who end every sentence with the phrase you know. Every f'ing sentence. Drives me crazy.

    The word anyways. The word is "anyway". There is no "s" at the end.
