Time is a bastard that comes for us all, if we are lucky.

Arguably the most brutal events of WWII. Respect!

I saw the best, the worst and the spectacular!

This is peak 90’s crushes for me.

You must have seen some interesting things!

no not a fond memory for anybody. my grandfather hated every minute of his military experience but it’s history nonetheless.

i don't mean it in a bad way, you look like Rambo 😊, great pic! :3

This is not the fond memory you think it is.

And after the footage of Tyre no less...

When I went through U. S. Army basic training, we had 2 weeks of riot control training tacked on because we were eventually being assigned to the NJ National Guard in 1970.

Yes but the mustang gt has 300 lbs of torque. I had one too, loads of low end power. I put 3:55 gears in it and it woke it up.

Got to listen to that song now.

funny story. a friend of mine from high school told me a long time ago (mid 90s era) a lisa loeb story. he finished school in nyc and tells me this story about a woman he meets at a party. she's all "don't you know who i am?" "no, not a clue" he tells her. "i'm lisa loeb." he tells me she's miffed and for decades i chalk it up to "wow she's full of herself."

fast forward to a few years ago and this oral history of the movie reality bites. so it turns out that lisa loeb got her break through ethan hawke, who lived in her building. something like how she passed him a demo tape, he shared it with the producers and they picked up her song for the movie, giving her a big break.

this was the missing link. my buddy mitchell was a dead ringer for ethan hawke, and when i read that story i began to think "maybe she really thought it was ethan and she felt like they should know each other and he was snubbing her."

mitchell, and lisa, if you're out there i wonder if that's what happened.

The car everyone wanted 🏁

that may be it then to be honest he didn’t have exact year either he’s always been a little hazy. but after his departure from vietnam due to bayonet he healed and got sent back to the guard so sounds right.

Not 1970, but the 1967 Newark race riots had the guard called out eventually. I can’t find anything about them in 1970, most of the big social upheavals were winding down by then.

Doesn’t look like much going on. What is a Quiet Riot? 🥁ba-dum-dum🥁

Their biggest hits are sad songs, one was used in a very sad dog shelter commercial. It was so sad i took back the $10 i donated to St .Jude and gave it to the shelter.

"Please tell me again how the shifter got stuck up your butt." 😂

Why sad?

Don’t apologize, understanding and accepting reality is old school cool.

These humblebrag photos are all a bit uncomfortable, “my mom/dad was super hot 40 years ago, and young”

But you’d be waking up in the aaaaaaarms of an aaaangel….
