Wow, these are great! I'm a little old for a couple of these, but man do I relate. Adulthood sucks!

If that ain't the Mr. D bat signal, I don't know what is.

I can't believe Mr. D, Rex and Ryan are still boycotting. We know you are still lurking, pussies! Come out of your basements and show yourselves!

Pretty cool, except for the fact that this video proves that the majority of people in America clearly don't understand that the Air Force is its own branch and separate from the Army.

So we should call them "air force boots"?

I think that's more indicative of "army" being the catchall name for camo or boots, than people not knowing the difference.

We only care about flyboys. If you can't fly a fighter (cargo planes can suck a dick), you are "Army." The jury is still out on bomber pilots.

An actual conversation I've had a few times:

Person/Friend: "So how's the Army treating you?"

Me (sometimes in uniform): "Pretty awesomely since I'm in the Air Force." ::Points to "United States Air Force" patch on uniform::

Person/Friend: "Oh, so do you fly planes or get to fly?"

Me: "I've been known to pilot an M-16 on occasion."

Person/Friend: "Oh cool!"

Me: ::Looks around for anyone to get the joke or witness the exchange::

ETA

And you should call them...boots. Or "Assault boots" if you're a heathen Lib'rul.

Dammit.

Assault boots don't kill people. Shoelaces kill people.

I don't get it. Why do you need camo in the air force anyway? As the retired military guys say at the Legion... You have a big problem if you are down to the Air Force holding weapons.

wlu_lax6 · Post by **wlu_lax6** » Mon Jul 29, 2013 2:51 pm

Well at least the Navy gets their own "Blueberry Camo". Airforce gets the same color treatment as the Army. That is confusing. Maybe you should get your own color scheme. Like Red or Nike Volt Green. That will help.

That's kinda funny. Not completely, but kinda.

Realistically, it's so some colonel can make general under the guise of making the force more rapidly deployable or something. When I came in I was wearing the Battle Dress Uniform -- just like the Army and Navy at the time. The Marines, according to the link, moved away from it in 2001.

Then I think there was a push in 2007 in the Air Force (because the Army was doing it) to have a single uniform both for being deployed and for home station that was wash-and-wear and easily managed. (The previous deploying Air Force uniform was the Desert Camouflage Uniform.) The military, being full of people who are so self consumed with image, starched, creased, and ruined the intent of the BDU to the point that having creases, pockets sewn down, and walking around looking like a box was the norm. The best part was the wash directions on the label specifically said to not starch/press it. But...you had to. Or else you were a douchetastic shitbag Airman not living up to "standards." In tech school I was using hair spray (yes, AquaNet) to maintain creases. Some mixed wood glue with water and soaked overnight. Some melted fishing line into their creases. Hell, some even went the Stitch Witch route. It was madness. All this bullshit to look "professional." I realized quick that professional/professionalism are the most subjective terms in military history.

Side tangent: When a new uniform was being brewed and we were asked "What do you want?" the overwhelming response was "Wash and wear, PLEASE!" Miraculously, the Air Force listened-- but almost went with this monstrosity until everyone gave a massive amount of negative feedback to those and we settled for what we have now.

Now, even with Airman Battle Uniforms -- very, very easily confused with the Army's Army Combat Uniform -- being a deployable uniform, the standard that everyone is deploying with are Multi Cam uniforms.

And 'round and 'round the circle we go. Just think of the money and manpower wasted in all these shenanigans.

Thinking of Air Force guys with machine guns reminds me of this joke ... apologies if it's been posted here before.

A Navy captain tells his lieutenant to “secure the building.” The lieutenant has his men unplug the coffeepots, turn out the lights, lock the doors, and leave the building unoccupied.

An Marine Corps major tells his captain to “secure the building.” The captain assembles the platoon and mounts an assault, taking over and capturing prisoners.

An Army major tells his captain to “secure the building.” The captain orders an artillery strike that obliterates the place and kills everyone inside.

An Air Force major tells his captain to “secure the building.” The captain immediately negotiates a two-year lease with an option to buy.

I don't know how that video ran for 4 minutes. Before I even got 60 seconds in I would have been spraying that bitch with a hose.

Whatever the musical version of Razzies are, this video deserves it. Stick with it until the end. That is where they really turn on the racist stereotypes.

Does this qualify as a bear flash mob?

Pruitt · Post by **Pruitt** » Fri Aug 02, 2013 9:41 am

Based on the evidence presented in the previous two videos, I'd say that bears are better than humans.

Want to watch a 7 minute video of one guy passing a basketball? Sure you do! (seriously, it's pretty awesome.)

Post by **Shirley** » Fri Aug 09, 2013 9:55 am

Done with 7 minutes of passing? How about 9 minutes of a making a chair?

(This one is beautiful. I can't even imagine the patience it must of have taken to film this this way. Watch and you'll see what I mean.)
