Marine: Cut My Finger Off, Rather Than My Wedding BandOkay, I guess this is where I'm supposed to say "Now there is a man" and all that. But dude, please. You can always get a new wedding ring. You can't get a new ring finger. For crying out loud. Grand romantic gestures are wonderful, but one must draw the line when it comes to permanently maiming yourself. That's my rule, and so far it's kept me out of a lot of trouble. posted by Ace at 02:15 PM
Commentshttp://www.usatoday.com/news/world/iraq/2004-12-11-marines_x.htm .... Boyd graduated from high school on a Friday, celebrated on Saturday, and left for the Marines on Monday. He says Fallujah is "10 times" as dangerous as the Iraq invasion, during which LAR lost one marine, who stepped on an artillery shell. "It's a lot faster combat, a lot more deliberate. Grenade, grenade, rocket-boom! You're in," says Boyd. For luck, he keeps an Ace of Spades in his helmet. "I love the adrenaline of it, the fast pace," Boyd adds. "I'm breathing in plaster and composition B from the grenade, choking on it — spitting out black stuff as I'm clearing the room out. It's great!" ... Posted by: NRAYee on December 12, 2004 02:29 PM
When I was engaged to be married, I got a little tipsy one night with my husband. Went into the bathroom and noticed that my diamond engagement ring was looking a little dull and needed cleaning. So I gave it a quick scrub with a toothbrush and slid it quickly back on...the wrong finger. The jewelers took care of it the next day. They have a special tool for cutting the band and fixed the ring in minutes, no problem. But in war, far away and homesick, I can see how one's attitude would be different. But where is he going to wear that ring now? Posted by: lauraw on December 12, 2004 06:53 PM
How traumatized do you have to be to think this is the right thing to do? Posted by: TechMount on December 13, 2004 09:51 AM
The really sad part is that the f'ing doctors then lost the ring! Poor guy. I can't criticize him for it, though. God knows I could have never been a Marine. Posted by: SWLiP on December 13, 2004 10:18 AM
Man, is his wife gonna be pissed or what? She's already doing the work of two people, and now, when he comes back, he's coming back voluntarily without a finger? I suppose his best defense is that it could have been worse; save the ring or his whole hand! Posted by: Xenocide on December 13, 2004 11:27 AM
Ace-- As always, thanks for the link! Cheers, Posted by: Dave at Garfield Ridge on December 13, 2004 01:20 PM
Somewhere in this Marine's immediate chain of authority should have been someone to tell him what I would have; in the last two years I have replaced one engagement ring which my wife flushed down the toilet as well as having her Claddagh wedding band cut and resized twice. As a Marine Staff NCO, I can tell you that this Marine's immediate leadership should be smacked down hard. I seriously frown on a corporal who allows a subordinate to lose leave because he neglected to take it before it expired. But, this is ridiculous and I'm starting to doubt its veracity. If it's true, the physician on the case should be removed from the service. Posted by: Dear Johns on December 13, 2004 05:57 PM

ANOTHER LEFT WING ASSASSIN ATTEMPTS TO KILL TRUMP
If I understand this, the left-wing Democrat assassin attempted to get into the White House Correspondents Association dinner, and was stopped at the magnetometers, which detected his gun. I guess he pulled out the gun and was shot by Secret Service agents. Erika Kirk was present.

Important Message from Recent Convert to Christianity and Yet Super-Serious Christian Tuq'r Qarlson: Actually Muslims love Jesus, it's Trump and his neocons who hate him
Tucker Carlson Network Trump's trolling tweet was ill-advised, but Tucker is just lying when he claims the Christianity-hating President of Iran was "offended" by this. He's one step away from announcing his official conversion to Islam. He literally never stops praising Islam. Well, he suddenly became Christian two years ago, there's not much stopping him from converting again. You can track Tuq'r's official conversion to Islam with this Bingo card.
People say that the bearded man in the video of Fartwell molesting a hooker looks like Democrat Arizona Senator Rueben Gallego, said to be Swalwell's "best friend" and known to take vacations with him.
@KFILE 21m So the campaign is collapsing due to the truth of the sexual harassment allegations. That hissing sound you hear is the air going out of the Swalwell campaign. UPDATE: No it wasn't, it was just Swalwell one-cheek-sneaking out a fart on camera Eric Swalwell more like Eric Farewell amirite thanks to weft-cut loop.
This is the dumbest AI bullslop I've seen in a while: the CIA can use "quantum magnetometry" to track an individual man's heartbeat from twelve miles away
I wouldn't click on it, it's not interesting, it's just stupid clickslop. I just want to share my annoyance with you.
Oil prices plunge on bizarre realization that Eric Swalwell may actually be straight. A rapey molester, allegedly, but a straight one.
Classic Rock Mystery Click
This is super-obscure and I only barely remember it. Given that, I'll give you the hint that it's by the Red Rocker. And I guess you think you've got it made Oh, but then, you never were afraid Of anything that you've left behind Oh, but it's alright with me now 'Cause I'll get back up somehow And with a little luck, yes, I'm bound to win Now twenty people will tell me it's not obscure, it was huge in their hometown and played at their prom. That's how it usually goes. When I linked Donnie Iris's "Love is Like a Rock," everyone said they knew that one and that his other song (which I didn't know at all) Ah Leah! was huge in their area.
