Canute Posted November 26, 2020 Share #694 Posted November 26, 2020 You do know eating large amounts of turkey can put you in a tryptophan induced coma, don't you? 😁 Ops normal for the day. We'll all be in the TV room with some football game on and everyone will be snoring in their chairs. Been in that nap time game a time or two.

CW_Tom Posted November 27, 2020 Share #696 Posted November 27, 2020 I thought this was a good place to share this. Some of you may be familiar with it already. One of my instructors in AIT, over 13 years ago, shared this with my class. How to Tell the Difference Between the Branches of the US Armed Forces! If you give the command "SECURE THE BUILDING", here is what the different services would do: The NAVY would turn out the lights and lock the doors. The ARMY would surround the building with defensive fortifications, tanks and concertina wire. The MARINE CORPS would assault the building, using overlapping fields of fire from all appropriate points on the perimeter. The AIR FORCE would take out a three-year lease with an option to buy the building.

Canute Posted November 27, 2020 Share #702 Posted November 27, 2020 Aw c'mon, it's only 1 day a year to pig out. My conscience is clear on the pig out. The Admiral made a great sausage stuffing, candied yams, broccoli, cauliflower and a bone-in turkey breast with gravy. Had some friends over and I think we have half the turkey left. Urp! I've been on a diet since mid April and have lost 38 pounds, so far. Want to drop at least 12 more. Started on a 1200 calorie diet back then; I'm up to 1500-1600 cals now. Plus walking 3+ miles, 4-5 times a week. I burn about 500 cals per walk. It's doable; although the washboard abs will need somebody else's expertise, Alan. mtaylor, lmagna, popeye the sailor and 5 others 8 Quote Ken Started: MS Bounty Longboat, On Hold: Heinkel USS Choctaw paper Down the road: Shipyard HMC Alert 1/96 paper, Mamoli Constitution Cross, MS USN Picket Boat #1 Scratchbuild: Echo Cross Section Member Nautical Research Guild Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
