2023-07-24 20:26:34 +0000 UTCThe GI Joe stuff is on YouTube. Was on EBaumsWorld for me way back. “Alright give him the stick. DON’T GIVE HIM THE STICK.” “Ah ya know it’s weird sometimes people go to sleep and wake up and they’re on fire.” Don’t forget the Power Thirst commercials! Man I miss late 90s/early 2000s internet.

2023-07-24 02:59:04 +0000 UTCThe fucked up part is that during the Iraq War, Korean and American researchers found in the U.S. National Archives several references to the U.S. policy of war crimes during the Korean War and it was buried in the news by the events in Iraq. The scanned documents are online and contains U.S. state department, Navy and Army documents stating that Uncle Sam had a formal policy of attacking refugees approaching U.S. lines with artillery or air strikes out of fear of communist infiltrators. Literally there was a Navy destroyer captain questioning an Army artillery spotter in an aircraft on their request to shell a beach full of Korean refugees and he responded that they were “moving suspiciously”. And the research that led to uncovering this was all started by the No Gon Ri massacre and the subsequent attacks of U.S. troops and anti American hysteria that you guys referenced. Along with the school girls that got runned over. I think you guys need to do an episode on the No Gun Ri massacre and the uproar in South Korea and the wildly unknown U.S. policy of killing civilians that was uncovered later in the U.S. national archives.

2023-07-23 19:35:46 +0000 UTCSo the Paul Bunyan Burger was created in Minnesota and is a jucy lucy with bacon and cheese on the inside. For those unaware, a Jucy Lucy is a burger with a pocket of cheese in the middle and they are fucking awesome.
