Donating to NYC

That won't happen, unless you're a pretty blue eyed blonde female.

Another lame shot in the dark...

Almost. ;-)

Only an idiot would find that funny. Why the hell would anyone want to go to a place like that, in the first place. Pay outrageous prices for soup from an asshole?

Did any of the troops "get it" and start to pack in some supplies? Or did the Lawn Guyland types just transfer their dependance to you?

"Go see Col. Terrell, he's got all that kind of stuff."

I've met too many 'New yawkers' that brag that they never cook anything, since there is never a time they can't find a restaurant open. "I can just by a slice, anytime around the clock! Why keep food in the apartment?"

It was fun watching a couple guys from that area suffer through cold weather survival training at the US Army Cold Weather Test Site. It's a good thing they were given some old rations or they would have died. Then the fools were begging everyone for the two cigarettes that were older than they were. Ever see a fool try to light a cigarette from a roaring campfire at -40F? Not a pretty sight.

This is last year's dehydrated onion eating champ:

Pucker up!

I'm not in the dark. I've got night flashlights.

You were issued these items:

1: Arctic sleeping bag. 2: Tent half. (Canvas tarp) 3: Arctic insulated boots w/pressure release. 4: Folding Shovel. 5: A couple matches. 6: Korean war surplus rations.

You sat through a four hour class that told you what you had to do to be safe, and to survive three days at under -20F. Even then, some thought they were smarter than the instructors.

I wasn't a Col. The only Col. on base was the commander.

Silly rabbit! I use them in soup, chili and sauces.

So, none work during the day? How sad!

When you really NEED something, you do like the officers and find a Sergeant.

Or an engineer who knows a general, and isn't afraid to knock him down if he gets in the way. :)

It was a sitcom? It was said that the show was about absolutely nothing. O_o

TDD

I think you are missing a letter in that last word.

Full of absolute zeros?

Speaking of which..I have a brand new pair of those Mickey Mouse boots..the inflatable Arctic boots in size 9 that I picked up at a yard sale. Bata made (makers name..good maker). These are true GI issue, and as far as I can determine..absolutely brand new.

Anyone want them? $10 plus shipping at cost.

Winter is indeed coming.

Anyone? They go on Ebay in 2 days if no one wants t hem.

Well, of course, Argon is a Noble Gas. SO of course the gas will last.

Oh, what? You meant the other stuff in the jar? "Never mind!"

p.s. I find myself in Costoc, etc, looking at the square jars and thinking "I want that jar, but I don't like peanut-butter stuffed pretzels - not that much."

Not me. Why wait in line for bad service?

Those would have fit me, 40 years ago. :)

I have the same problem. It would be nice if one could find the maker of the jars and buy some.
