Jason Everman was kicked out of Nirvana just before they got huge. Then he joined Soundgarded who was already getting big, and he got kicked out AGAIN.

So, then he joined the army, became a Ranger and eventually Special Forces.
He had three drill sergeants, two of whom were sadists. Thank God it was the easygoing one who saw it. He was reading a magazine, when he slowly looked up and stared at Everman. Then the sergeant walked over, pointing to a page in the magazine. “Is this you?” It was a photo of the biggest band in the world, Nirvana. Kurt Cobain had just killed himself, and this was a story about his suicide. Next to Cobain was the band’s onetime second guitarist. A guy with long, strawberry blond curls. “Is this you?”

Everman exhaled. “Yes, Drill Sergeant.”
A fascinating story.

I read this months ago, and it's a great read if you're at all interested in Nirvana and/or stories about soldiers with a nontraditional backstory.

So many questions. I may have to go back and read that AMA. Assuming they both work, if he wanks one, does he jizz out of both? I didn't look closely, but one looked circumcised while the other didn't. Interest experiment should be conducted on this guy.

They were a lot funnier, too.

When I attended high school classes in Russia, I was shocked at their ignorance of geography. In a class equivalent to sophomore or junior year of HS, they had almost no knowledge of Europe. They could all find Russia, Finland, Germany and Italy, but beyond that, they couldn't find shit. While one kid was at the map, another student yelled out France, and the whole class laughed, as if it was hilariously impossible. I guess extreme isolationism took its toll. The Americans looked at each other in shock. Meanwhile, they take 4 years of physics and chemistry, and I'm sure our knowledge of those subjects is equally hilarious to them. The discipline was sick. If you get sent the principals office twice, you are expelled and destined to a life of blue collar labor. And they had to do military drills with wooden rifles.

Suddenly Aldridge was flying backward, tumbling across the deck toward the back of the boat, which was wide open, just a flat, slick ramp leading straight into the black ocean a few inches below. Aldridge grabbed for the side of the boat as it went past, his fingertips missing it by inches. The water hit him like a slap. He went under, took in a mouthful of Atlantic Ocean and then surfaced, sputtering. He yelled as loud as he could, hoping to wake Sosinski, who was asleep on a bunk below the front deck. But the diesel engine was too loud, and the Anna Mary, on autopilot, moving due south at six and a half knots, was already out of reach, its navigation lights receding into the night. Aldridge shouted once more, panic rising in his throat, and then silence descended. He was alone in the darkness. A single thought gripped his mind: This is how I’m going to die.

Wow. Powerful stuff.

I had an incident in the Pacific about 30 years ago. This article sure sends me back. My survival required giving up hard-won temporary partial respite -- like Aldridge's perch on the first buoy -- to reverse course back in the obviously dangerous direction I had used up most all of my strength trying to get out of. But that direction was the only real chance I had. No one was coming for me. Kicking off, back towards where I had come from was one of those little existential moments that never leave your memory.

I'm not sure how the Swamp missed this site.
The obvious question, then, is what makes a good dick pic? I’m often asked this, and I consistently repeat a few key tips: don’t send a log. Realize the power of your hands to transform a dick pic from ordinary to wettie-inducing. Pay attention to the background and setting of your picture, and understand how off-putting a visible pile of dirty laundry or extremely mundane collection of shower gels can be. Be aware that even a very small amount of thought and consideration for the desires of your receiver will set you apart from most dick pic senders, and take advantage of that by putting more than three second’s thought into the pose, composition and lighting of your picture.

Women who suffer stress during pregnancy increase the chance of their child being gay, according to a controversial new book.

The lifestyle of pregnant mothers affects the sexuality of their unborn child, altering their hormones and the formation of their brains, it claims.

Smoking or taking drugs can also result in a child who grows up to be gay, according to the book by Dutch neuroscientist Dick Swaab...

I don't like that one a much. I enjoy a good snarky troll as much as the next guy, but it helps if the victim is an asshole neighbor with a floodlight, rather than a distraught cat owner.

I believe that in most cases these exchanges are written by individual contributors, as it were. It's kind of a fantasy "how I'd like to deal with this annoying [fill in the blank]".

Not unlike the fake office trolls by David Thorne.

Remember that one from Vancouver a month or two ago? The stringing along of a Nigerian 419 scammer? There is a link in the Fuckface thread circa December. The perp behind that was challenged a number of times as to its authenticity and he never denied it was fake; he'd just deflect every question suggesting it wasn't. "Yeah, but it's funny! Right???" Maybe. Funny don't make it real. Not that it matters much; the Aussie floodlight bit would be no less hilarious if inauthentic.

I always assume these things are fake. Like Scottie said, doesn't make it any less funny. Well, maybe a drop, as it is amusing to know that someone was all shocked and pissed off at the exchange.

I always assumed that at least some of them had kernels of truth. Like maybe a situation arose, and he wrote a piece about how he would have liked to have handled it. Either way, his stuff is hilarious, and I love how it pops up here and there for years as if it's new content. It's good enough for that.
