Government is not the solution to our problem—government is the problem.   Ronald Reagan
The democracy will cease to exist when you take away from those who are willing to work and give to those who would not.   Thomas Jefferson

If you ever find yourself in need of a safe space then you're probably going to have to stop calling yourself a social justice warrior. You cannot be a warrior and a pansy at the same time   Mike Adams (RIP Mike)

Hot lead and dirty talk!

Jesus saves! But Gretzky scores on the rebound!

Dammit Carl!

Toured her a million years ago as a wee lad; pity as I remember zip in details.  Glad to see her still a going.

We can't live under the threat of a c*nt because he's threatening nuclear Armageddon.

I wonder if there's a video walkthrough...

Well, duh!



And a more recent one (last year):

ICEBREAKER THESIS CHRONOLOGY! -- Victor Suvorov's Stalin Grand Strategy theory, in lots and lots of chronological order...
Dawn of Armageddon -- narrative AAR for Dawn of War: Soulstorm: Ultimate Apocalypse
Survive Harder! -- Two season narrative AAR, an Amazon Blood Bowl career.
PanzOrc Corpz Generals -- Fantasy Wars narrative AAR, half a combined campaign.
Khazâd du-bekâr! -- narrative dwarf AAR for LotR BfME2 RotWK campaign.
RobO Q Campaign Generator -- archived classic CMBB/CMAK tool!

Someone was able to do a walkthru of the USS Texas while she is in drydock.  fyi: the video is more of a slideshow with commentary.
