Very simple, make a joke or a pun or anything you find funny. Let's start: -2 guys are fighting sea, not far from land. They fight about 10ft deep near the SEAFLOOR and during the fight guy #1 pulls out a "sticky bomb" and kills guy #2 with it. As you can SEE FOR this situation, guy #1 killed guy #2 with C4. -Imagine a person name Zest (c-est), now imagine you telling him to play a particular game. "Zest, GO play CS: GO please for me please." -"Ay! Kay, 47 is my favourite number. You want to know why? Because it's in the name of the AK 47.

So what (if anything) are you wanting/hoping to get for Xmas? I would like a day off work, a new trapgun and a Corvette..., realistically though just being able to put together all the stuff the kids get in less than 2 days is gift enough for me (there isn't much I need which ticks Rose off cuz I don't want anything).

Just remembered how I became friends with a friend of mine. It all started 3 years ago in junior high, during lunch, I was minding my own business until I saw him playing around with a toy robot. I remember vividly because I chuckled after he sended off the ledge after winding it up and then he noticed me and that's how we became friends. -I bet that toy robot is either: -at the dump -in the hands of another student

Domestic Battery was founded as a gaming crew for couples. Somewhere you could happily blow your partners brains out and not worry about the long arm of the door knocking on your door. Other couples have been formed after meeting on this site. Dani and Jesse were the 1st and are now in an international relationship, they were soon followed by Wraign and Ern who now live together. Many of our other members have been happily married for years. All great stories but what about the singletons of the crew? In the last 5-10 years the world of dating has been turned on its head. Of course I'm talking about online dating. What used to be seen as a strange and des…

Fur Traps

Some asshole in our community is placing these fur traps in our neighborhood. They have been found on our walking trails, washes, and paseos. Two of our neighborhood cat's have been trapped in these this week. We also have children who play/walk on the walking trails and paseos. Trapping is legal in Nevada, however, it's illegal to do so in a residential area. We have an agency coming out to investigate, but in the mean time, I'd like to find more of these (a lot have been found already!) and get them to clamp shut so I can remove them before more animals or children get injured. Since I know nothing about hunting, and I'm sure a few of you here do... what's the bes…

Advice needed
by xChaosxSniperx19- 8 replies
- 923 views
A couple days ago I was told by my brother that he is going to get me something for my birthday which was 2 months ago. I am faced with 2 choices. Choice #1: Get Destiny: The Taken King Choice #2: Get my PS3 back that I had given to him at the beginning of this year. (I needed the money he gave me for it) The reason I need advice on which to choose is because on my PS3 I had some games I loved playing, including GTA 5 which means I would be able to play GTA with both PS3 & PS4 members if I choose to get it back. But if I was to get TTK I would be able to join the Destiny clan and play with crew members who also play Destiny. I've been weighing the pros …

Sirens, Helicopters, Police dogs running around! It's the LSPD!

Nope. Its the Devon & Cornwall Constabulary! I was in the middle of Gunmanmark's racing PL this evening when my friend/neighbour called me to say that the police had just knocked on their door. A few garages and sheds in the village had been broken into. I had to quit the PL to check on my garage and cars! luckily no problems. The police have been crawling around the whole village and had a helicopter out looking for any undesirables. Very unusual for this area. I would not be happy if anyone managed to brake into my garage, my pride and joy is in there! Plus a lot of expensive tools!

Getting older but not wiser?

So, very off topic. Closing in on 40. Thougths about existential stuff, family, relations, job, living situation is not uncommon. One self is easier to handle, but significant others a bit different. Even though the main reason for something are these reflections and not a actual need. Should one give in and act upon it? Pros; If something is beleived to add something it might just do it. Cons; Everything rational. We dont have the time to take care of another (summer) house, and I couldnt play GTA there. Also, have you had and/or acted upon anything like this? Excuse my spelling in topic, meant to be "Getting older.."

I was just curious, what bugs you? Whether it be in the game, at home, at work...let it be known here. Most recently I was cleaning probes at work that were covered with ash from the power plant. Now, after cleaning them, I smell like a huge pot of sulfuric dioxide (what dreams are made of). Fuck this stinks!

249Rate the Last Film you Watched 2: Electric Boogaloo
Operation Mincemeat (2021) dir John Madden A WWII film focussing the efforts of British intelligence to trick Germany into thinking an upcoming major operation was going to happen somewhere else, so that they diverted defending forces away from the actual location. The basics are a true story. The characters are mainly the real people who were involved. It has a great ensemble cast. The main characters are two officers working for MI5, one from the navy and one from the air force, played by Colin Firth and Matthew McFadden, with Kelly MacDonald and Penelope Wilton playing their civilian assistants. It also features Johnny Flynn as the young Lt. Ian Fleming who narrates some scenes in a style that could well have been passages from his James Bond novels. You could, at a big stretch, almost class this as Bond film since it features characters referred to as M (head of MI5, Jason Issacs) and Q-branch (the gadget inventor, James Fleet). Simon Russel Beale also puts in a great performance as Winston Churchill. I have heard of Operation Mincemeat, knew the basics of it, that Ian Fleming was involved and what the outcome was. I don't think it's a spoiler to say the plan worked, as various characters in the film say that if it doesn't the allies won't win the war. The plan was to take the body of recently deceased man, a Welshman living rough in London called Glyndwr Michael, dress him in an officer's uniform, attach a brief case containing fake, but apparently top-secret documents, and then release it from a submarine such that it would wash up on a Spanish beach. Spain was neutral in WWII but under the regime of the Fascist, pro-n*zi, General Franco. So British intelligence knew that the contents of the brief case should find their way into the hands of German agents, before being returned to Britain, and thus the fake information would find it's way to Berlin. The operation they were planning for was the allied invasion of Italy, then Germany's ally. The fake information was one part of bigger plan to convince the Germans it was occupied Greece that was going to be invaded. The subsequent invasion of Italy is one of the lesser known parts of the war. Much is made, quite rightly, of the D-day landings, but that was not the first invasion of German controlled Europe, it was this invasion of Italy, nearly a year earlier. So it's nice to see a film about this aspect of the war, because there aren't very many of them. The film shows the meticulous level of detail the agents went to, creating a whole fake identity, Major William Martin, along with personal letters, a photo of a fiancé, etc. The plot does come across somewhat unbelievable at times and includes a completely unnecessary romantic sub-plot. Even if some of that is what actually happened, the way the films portrays this comes across as if the producers wanted to “s*x it up” and add these elements in because they thought the story of the planning and execution of the operation was not interesting enough. I was all set to give this a lower score than I did, but the last 30 mins or so redeemed it a little. What I found really interesting was, after the the plan had been put into action, the role British diplomats in Spain then had to play to make sure that the brief case of fake documents did indeed end up in German hands. Because after all the detailed and careful planning, it could have easily been undone by a Spanish official simply handing the brief case straight back to Britain, as was technically the correct thing for a neutral country to do, but not what they were supposed to do according to the pro-German Fascist regime in charge. There's almost none of the action you usually get in war films, until right at the end when we see an American infantry sergeant, a minor character introduced earlier, on board a landing craft, storming a Sicilian beach which was taken and held with relatively light causalities. All due to the success of Operation Mincemeat diverting German forces hundreds of miles away. 6 / 10- 2
