Study Break

Wednesday, September 7th, 2011

I know I have been very remiss in posting but I have a very good reason: I am back in school and I am swamped. I am back at my history work and my Russian work and my pre-law work. Yes, all at the same time. I have time to take a crap, but I only have time to wipe every other time. That’s how swamped I am. I will try to post as I can, but I have to warn you that it will be spotty at best despite my best efforts. That being said, I just wanted to share a few things with you headline-wise:

Canada’s health agency on Tuesday warned would-be parents not to purchase “fresh” semen online, saying it may be tainted with infectious diseases.

Health Canada is reminding Canadians of the serious potential health risks of using donor semen for assisted conception obtained through potentially unreliable sources, such as the Internet,” the government agency said.

Donor semen obtained through “questionable means,” it explained, may not have been screened or tested, and therefore may not be safe.

Translation: if the delivery vehicle for the aforementioned “fresh semen” is an old sock, you should probably avoid it. I have a sock from my time in the Army that is worth millions.

BALTIMORE (AP) — For years, William Hillar’s tales about his exploits as an Army Green Beret and a puffed up resume helped him land jobs teaching counterterrorism and drug and human trafficking interdiction, but the scheme has now earned him 21 months in federal prison.

Hillar, 66, of Millersville, pleaded guilty to wire fraud earlier this year and was sentenced Tuesday in U.S. District Court. He must pay $170,000 in restitution to the law enforcement and first responder organizations and schools that hired him believing that he had spent 28 years in the U.S. Special Forces, reaching the rank of colonel. He must also perform 500 community service hours at Maryland’s veteran cemeteries.

Translation: His war stories used to start out with “no shit, there I was…” or “so I was a Colonel in Iraq…” and now they will start with “so I dropped the soap in a prison shower…” or “so I was my cell mate’s bitch on C Block…”.

Soulja Boy and his management team are SCRAMBLING to remove all traces of the rapper’s army-bashing song from the Internet — and they swear … it won’t come anywhere near Soulja’s new album.

A rep for Soulja’s management team, Debby Coda, tells TMZ, both the rapper’s management and his record label have been working nonstop since Friday to take the video down off the Internet.

Debby tells us, the song “Let’s Be Real” was hastily and foolishly posted to the Internet — and was never approved for any album, including his upcoming “Respect My Hustle.”

Debby insists, the song will never be available for purchase.

We’re told Soulja is willing to do whatever he can to make up for the song – which contains the lyric “f**k all the army troops” — including free shows for the military, and meet-and-greet sessions.

Translation: “Holy fuck did I fuck up and bad. Now I have the entire US Military that wants to beat my ass to death. I know, I’ll do a free show for them!” Holy shit dude, how stupid can you be? They don’t want to hear you and they sure as shit don’t want to see you and, trust me on this one, you don’t want to see them because every single one of them wants to beat you to a bloody pulp you little bitch… myself included. I know I didn’t like the name you chose to give yourself considering you never served a day in your life and now this? I usually don’t wish ill on anyone, but I can guarantee that if I read that little bitch’s obituary in my morning paper I wouldn’t be surprised and I would probably smile.

And finally, TSO tipped me off to this little tidbit of sanity:

Investigators have not ruled out foul play in the death of a young Arkansas man whose body was discovered in an empty bathtub next to a sleeping TV meteorologist, a police spokesman tells FoxNews.com.

Dexter Williams, 24, of Mountain Pine, Ark., was found dead early Monday inside the bathtub — naked and wearing a silver dog collar-style chain around his neck. The man’s friend, 33-year-old Little Rock weatherman Brett Cummins, was asleep and lying next to him at the home in Maumelle, Ark., according to police. The homeowner, 36-year-old Christopher Barbour, reportedly made the discovery after hearing loud snoring coming from the master bathroom. 

Translation: Holy batshit! WTF?!? Dude, this is really, really effed up. Really. If by some reason ANYONE EVER wakes up next to me in a hot tub or bath tub or whatever and I am dead, naked, and waering a silver dog collar, please do me the courtesy of AT LEAST taking off the fucking dog collar chain before you call the cops!!!

Ten Silver Stars? Eh, No Big Deal

Friday, December 12th, 2008

At least that’s what the guys who got them are saying. By the way, they all got them during the same fight.

FORT BRAGG, N.C. – Capt. Kyle Walton remembers pressing himself into the jagged stones that covered the cliff in northeast Afghanistan.
Machine gun rounds and sniper fire ricocheted off the rocks. Two rounds slammed into his helmet, smashing his head into the ground. Nearby, three of his U.S. Army Special Forces comrades were gravely wounded. One grenade or a well-aimed bullet, Walton thought, could etch April 6, 2008 on his gravestone.
Walton and his team from the 3rd Battalion, 3rd Special Forces Group had been sent to kill or capture terrorists from a rugged valley that had never been penetrated by U.S. forces — or, they had been told, the Soviets before them.
He peered over the side of the cliff to the dry river bed 60 feet below and considered his options. Could he roll the wounded men off and then jump to safety? Would they survive the fall?
By the end of the six-hour battle deep within the Shok Valley, Walton would bear witness to heroics that on Friday would earn his team 10 Silver Stars, the most awarded for a single battle since the start of the war and possibly the most since the Vietnam War, although Army officials couldn’t confirm that. An Air Force controller who was not formally part of the unit but supported the mission by guiding air strikes from the ground also earned a Silver Star.
Walton, a Special Forces team leader, and his men described the battle in an interview with The Associated Press last week. Most seem unimpressed they’ve earned the Army’s third-highest award for combat valor.
It must have been hard to hang on to a cliff wall AND conduct a fire fight while your balance is thrown off by brass balls the size of coconuts. Good job guys.
That’s right… the guy was missing his own leg, treating another soldier, and then carried his own leg off the battle field. You ever heard of Billy Badass? Well Billy Badass pisses himself when he sees John Wayne walk around the corner.
