  1. Can you imagine if they reported cold or flu cases, like this? Because that is what 99% of the "cases" actually are. Media hype to do their part in helping the Dems? Damage President Trump? Is NJ, NY, CT overreacting to conceal a more sinister plot? These are thing outside the Box, but it's good to look outside the box, sometimes...
  2. What if all this "Stay Home " and shut down the state is bullshit? After all 99% of the cases is more like a Cold or worse, the flu. Aside from those immune compromised people. 18000, died from the flu this year in the US and we have 3 deaths in NJ from COVD-19? All three had a laundry list of ailments. Is this just a way to crush Trumps sizzling economy? The flu cold season ends in mid-to late april, consistantly.
  3. To all the Benny's and Shoebies that own a beach house:
  4. The rats in Trenton are biting their nails, as they should be. A SCOTUS ruling could blow up all of NJ's Gun Laws.
  5. It was the punch that went too deep, trying to fill in that bald head with those Plugs! Just a few years ago: And Voila!
  6. Yes, Asian Fusion, you never heard of that?
  7. My go to BBQ sauce is Gates outta KC, I gotta buddy that ships it to a case at a time. you can put that on a sh!t sandwich and make it taste good!
  8. I TELL PEOPLE, THOSE PEOPLE IN TEXAS AREN'T RIGHT AND YOU JUST PROVED ME CORRECT!
  9. He he he, I wish that was actually my ammo! And certainly no basements at sea level, but we have an ocean full of fish!
  10. I live on the water in Ocean Co. The notion of Preppng has always been our mantra. We are vulnerable to high tides, Nor Easters and the very unlikely repeat of another Sandy. We have BOB's in the garage for 5 minute evacuation, 1/2 hour and 1 hour, Depending on the urgency to leave vs time to load more gear We have stored vacuum sealed foods to last us a year. We have water filtration and cooking capabilities. We have ammo and plenty of defense tools. We have another unique thing, 75% of the houses around me are "Summer Use" only so there's always the last resort foraging, that could be very easy. The downside, it is a virtual impossibility to cordon off an area as the lagoon system makes it a virtual impossibility. I tell people, if you are starting to "prep" now, you're too late. Prepping is a long term build-up not a quick trip to the store. And yet, I am positive, none of this will be needed.
  11. Don't worry! this young man caught the eye of super Lawyer! Evan "The Attention Whore" Nappen That's like winning the Lottery F-U Nappen!.
  12. This story will answer some questions that we 'of a certain agemay have been wondering about for a long time! Check it out! Kilroy Was Here ! He is engraved in stone in the National War Memorial in Washington , DC- back in a small alcove where very few people have seen it. For the WWII generation, this will bring back memories. For you younger folks, it's a bit of trivia that is a part of our American history. Anyone born in 1913 to about 1950, is familiar with Kilroy. No one knew why he was so well known- but everybody seemed to get into it. So who was Kilroy? In 1946 the American Transit Association, through its radio program, "Speak to America ," sponsored a nationwide contest to find the real Kilroy, offering a prize of a real trolley car to the person who could prove himself to be the genuine article. Almost 40 men stepped forward to make that claim, but only James Kilroy from Halifax , Massachusetts , had evidence of his identity. 'Kilroy' was a 46-year old shipyard worker during the war who worked as a checker at the Fore River Shipyard in Quincy . His job was to go around and check on the number of rivets completed. Riveters were on piecework and got paid by the rivet. He would count a block of rivets and put a check mark in semi-waxed lumber chalk, so the rivets wouldn't be counted twice. When Kilroy went off duty, the riveters would erase the mark. Later on, an off-shift inspector would come through and count the rivets a second time, resulting in double pay for the riveters. One day Kilroy's boss called him into his office. The foreman was upset about all the wages being paid to riveters, and asked him to investigate. It was then he realized what had been going on. The tight spaces he had to crawl in to check the rivets didn't lend themselves to lugging around a paint can and brush, so Kilroy decided to stick with the waxy chalk. He continued to put his check mark on each job he inspected, but added 'KILROY WAS HERE' in king-sized letters next to the check, and eventually added the sketch of the chap with the long nose peering over the fence and that became part of the Kilroy message. Once he did that, the riveters stopped trying to wipe away his marks. Ordinarily the rivets and chalk marks would have been covered up with paint. With the war on, however, ships were leaving the Quincy Yard so fast that there wasn't time to paint them. As a result, Kilroy's inspection "trademark" was seen by thousands of servicemen who boarded the troopships the yard produced. His message apparently rang a bell with the servicemen, because they picked it up and spread it all over Europe and the South Pacific. Before war's end, "Kilroy" had been here, there, and everywhere on the long hauls to Berlin and Tokyo . To the troops outbound in those ships, however, he was a complete mystery; all they knew for sure was that someone named Kilroy had "been there first." As a joke, U.S. servicemen began placing the graffiti wherever they landed, claiming it was already there when they arrived. Kilroy became the U.S. super-GI who had always "already been" wherever GIs went. It became a challenge to place the logo in the most unlikely places imaginable (it is said to be atop Mt. Everest , the Statue of Liberty , the underside of the Arc de Triomphe, and even scrawled in the dust on the moon.. As the war went on, the legend grew. Underwater demolition teams routinely sneaked ashore on Japanese-held islands in the Pacific to map the terrain for coming invasions by U.S. troops (and thus, presumably, were the first GI's there). On one occasion, however, they reported seeing enemy troops painting over the Kilroy logo! In 1945, an outhouse was built for the exclusive use of Roosevelt, Stalin, and Churchill at the Potsdam conference. Its' first occupant was Stalin, who emerged and asked his aide (in Russian), "Who is Kilroy?" To help prove his authenticity in 1946, James Kilroy brought along officials from the shipyard and some of the riveters. He won the trolley car, which he gave to his nine children as a Christmas gift and set it up as a playhouse in the Kilroy yard in Halifax , Massachusetts . And The Tradition Continues... EVEN Outside Osama Bin Laden's House!!!
