Lee Ermey has died he was 74.

He joined the Marine Corps in the 60s choosing service over jail time and was deployed to Vietnam.

After His time in the Marines, he found fame in the movies best known for his break out roll in Full Metal Jacket.

And others...

The internet can't get enough of this guy, now he's made street art.

If you're curious about what he was covering, it concerns the February 7th battle between the US and Kurdish forces and Syrian Regime and Russian Mercenary forces. A large column of regime troops including tanks and artillery approached a US-supported forward base, fired on it and... well. According to Reuters: "The U.S. military has said that in its effort to repel the attack on Feb. 7, U.S. forces on the ground called in coalition strikes for more than three hours, involving F-15E fighter jets, MQ-9 drones, B-52 bombers, AC-130 gunships and AH-64 Apache helicopters."
Yeah. It was revealed afterward the attacking force included a large number of Russian mercenaries from the Wagner Group, a private military contractor with ties to "Putin's Chef" Yevgeniy Prigozhin. 
Russian reporter, Maxim Borodin, has been reporting on the incident. He also took a five-story header off his balcony and died in hospital on Sunday. His friends deny he was suicidal.

Farewell, Professor Hawking. As you always used to say, we have this one life to appreciate the grand design of the universe. And, what a remarkable life you have spent unlocking the mysteries of the universe and sharing the wonders of scientific inquiry.

This guy went to Folsom Prison under a fake name to see what his district prison was really like ( he had committed no crime he was a low-level politician). When he became a congressman he went to Newfoundland to investigate animal abuse, he fought against extensive surveillance that violated our rights through the Hughes-Ryan amendment (in the middle of the Cold War!!). Unfortunately, he was shot and killed while personally investigating charges of mass kidnapping in Jonestown, Guyana.  This is what a congressman can be, today we can’t even demand congress can read a bill before they pass it, he is a standard we should hold Congress to.

SOME DAYS ARE BETTER THAN OTHERS


One of the oldest images on the internet and still brings delight to all who witnesses it.

Oh to be 65 again.

Let's take another look at this leary bastard and his evil housemate.
That makes me smile every time. I think it should go into a Cuteness Hall of Fame or some such.

This thing has a plan.

That night was the most horrible that any member of the motor launch crews ever experienced. The scattered rifle shots in the pitch black swamp punctured by the screams of wounded men crushed in the jaws of huge reptiles and the blurred worrying sound of spinning crocodiles made a cacophony of hell that has rarely been duplicated on earth. At dawn, the vultures arrived to clean up what the crocodiles had left... Of about one thousand Japanese soldiers that entered the swamps of Ramree, only about twenty were found alive.

Damn.

DISQUIETING OBJECTS

===0===

I call it a childish distraction.
You guys call it every evening of your lives.

And that makes sense to millions of American men.


I just wish a pastime like gaming could lean toward the educational. Like having to know some facts about chemistry, or history, etc to survive. The smarter you get the stronger you become. There has got to be a way to make that fun.

Hahahabananahaha!

I would change my route to work to avoid looking at that every day.
