Like this one?

[Centurion2000]

5th Bn, 10th Marines: Engineer detachment (HQ Battery) : Digging in SP 155mm / 203mm guns and breaching minefields :-)

I remember that berm fondly and not so fondly.

Barry has NO time when he spends his days doing this....

I always knew that Obama was a pathological liar, and up till I read your reply I had no idea that there was a rational explanation for it. Thank you for the explanation.

BTW, what should we be watching for as Obama continues to melt down?

[ExTxMarine]

Heck, I played football for you guys at Camp Lejeune! We didn’t have enough people interested to make our own team, so I (and a few other Dragoons) went up the road to 10th Marines and played with you guys! I still have the football jersey!

Thank you for your service - we obviously chewed on some of the same sand! I can appreciate your feelings about that berm! LOL!

So I’m guessing you guys wore boots like Obama and not bedroom slippers?

And cool map on the soda/pop/coke. I grew up with “pop”, moved and learned “soda”, moved to a “pop” place again but have stuck with “soda”.

I wonder what some of the “others” are? (Soda-pop was also used as a kid).

[Helen]

He has stated that he “has a gift” regarding his speechifying. I think he thinks that “gift” overshadows everything else, as convoluted as that thinking is.

[Political Junkie Too]

Only millionaires, billionaires, and corporate jet owners wear bedroom slippers. They probably match their smoking jackets.

I wonder what some of the “others” are?

“Soft drink”?

[bushpilot1]

In Knoxville some called a soft drink “Dope”. This was years ago.

[spankalib]

Thank you. Glad it helps someone.
Let’s just say such understanding was hard-won, when it was somewhat of a matter of survival that I *understood* rational explanation(s) for such crazymaking thing(s).

[workerbee]

I know he was speaking to the CBC, but I also believe by extension he was talking to black Americans. March with me!

[bushpilot1]

Denver is in Wyoming.

[workerbee]

No, but he said in college that’s what everyone called them. Besides, he grew up in rural Kentucky, apparently not a hotbed of flip-flop wearers.

[21twelve]

Of course! (I feel like we’re playing “Family Feud”!)

[COUNTrecount]

Last time I visited Denver it was in Colorado.

I guess it hoped to change and wound up in Wyoming.

[Kenton]

I called both Coke and Pepsi "coke" when I was a little kid back in the 50s. That changed into "pop" when I was a teenager and "soda" (or SODER as the New Englanders said it) when I joined the Navy and was home ported on the east coast. Then I kind of changed to "soda pop" when I got home, just so people would know what I meant.

[Semperfiwife]

“over yonder”, “sit a spell”,

[chris_bdba]

LOL I wish the deems would decide what they want to do....they are the ones who made them into victims now they complain about them acting that way? *eyeroll* You made your bed....
