#3. Me in basic training in 1983. Battlestar dorm rooms at Ft. Sill.
Nightly buffer rodeo championships. Divided in teams of two. One guy was designated to lead out the cord as the buffer spun and rolled the line around itself while his buddy rode the bull.
The crowd counted the seconds together. Buffer becomes more unstable as cord wraps around the buffer pad. Need to be sitting down though, not standing.
#3 I was a night custodian at a high school in the 70's. Had a great crew of fun loving guys. We used to do the buffer waltz, have the water based fire extinguisher ambushes from the rooftops and so much more. We had the job so dialed in that we could finish in 5-6 hours and go get drunk at the Capri Deli until quitting time. No cameras, no cell phones. Best of times.
1 thru 10: Just another Parade of idiots.
ReplyDelete#3 A scene repeated endless times in Tech Schools across the country.
ReplyDeleteAnd basic and AIT and so on. Works better if you sit on it though.
DeleteEvery time his boot hit the floor, he added another scuff mark. 1SG is gonna be pissed.
Delete#7. It's impressive how quickly the guy moved in for the rescue. But, considering the demographic, it's not surprising at all.
ReplyDeleteIt's probably his 4-wheeler. Forget the chicks, they're a dime-a-dozen. 4-wheelers are expensive.
DeleteMight have been his quad getting hydrolocked

Some of the best laughs of the day. Thanks I needed that 😊
ReplyDeleteI must be special or just blessed. Non of my bad days compare. Good laughs, better to laugh at others than to suffer the pain and indignation.
ReplyDeleteNumber 4 looks like closing time at a vodka bar.
ReplyDeleteSo much fun!
ReplyDeleteWow, they are needing some brains

ReplyDelete#1 looks like the mail boat on Lake Geneva, Wisconsin. Maybe Wisco Dave can confirm?
ReplyDeleteThat’s what I thought.

9 &10, I always wonder, well what did you think would happen?
ReplyDelete#5. There appears to be that Wile E. Coyote moment when gravity is suspended and then down she goes.
