Comedians unite:
OK. Silly anti-Trump videos don’t cut it in the real world. You heard it here first.
I predict Trump will get a third term.
You’ll have to stick around a couple of years to see.
Did you know that…![]()

So the Viking really have made their mark, even on modern technology.
And the English language:
There are more to the word window then you think:
Money, money, money:
All wars are banker’s wars.
Anybody here have one of these?![]()
There were no fatsos in my training at the Naval College … and we ate everything we could.
How anyone looking like that got into any prestigious military college prompts questions; how? Who allowed this?
Canada is lost. Canadians have to fix it.
A social media post by Pete Hegseth, the US secretary of defense, body-shaming female members of a Canadian youth development program remained online on Wednesday despite a furious backlash on both sides of the border.
On Monday night, Hegseth posted on X a photograph of two people in uniform with a Canadian flag and the caption “this is real”, an apparent attempt at mocking the country’s armed forces amid the Trump administration’s trade spat with its northern neighbor.
However, the photograph was reproduced from an Instagram post by the Vernon Cadet Training Centre in British Columbia, which hosted a summer camp in July for teenagers learning adult skills on the military base. Its subjects are not members of Canada’s frontline military, and the person whose appearance Hegseth was attempting to ridicule is likely a volunteer instructor, critics said. The girl receiving a medal is a teenager no older than 18.
Ok. My misunderstanding.
The collective expression for a group of cadets was “A mobile famine.”
Learning to tie a knot:

One of the skills of a master of square rigged sail is to be able to tie bends and hitches in a variety of spectacular or humorous ways to create a sense of awe in trainees and junior crew members.
The “flying bowline” shown above is one.
I claim magic abilities to also tie a thumb knot in the middle of a short length of line without letting go either end. The more difficult one is to cut and then complete a long splice in a piece of cord inside the mouth with the tongue. Never fails to amaze.
Irish joke!! (Or is it?)
