I was there in 98 and again in 02. The closest I found off base was a bulgogi burger.
I couldn’t find a ground beef burger either time when I was in Korea except on base.

What was your Korea experience?

I would also call the woke stuff a “mere annoyance” because the show was so good otherwise.

I watched an interview with the writers and creators on CBS Sunday morning. That part isn’t changing.

That was some Galaxy Quest level tribute. It was so well done.


Huntsville AL

In an old limestone quarry and adjoining the city’s cemetery is a public park that has been dubbed the Dead Children’s Playground. There are numerous origin stories of the name. The two most common are that a series of children’s disappearances in the 60s was connected to skeletal remains found in the old quarry when the playground was built, or because the section of the cemetery next to the playground contains a large number of children who died from Spanish Flu.

Both are probably made up completely. It’s surrounded by cliffs on 3 sides and a cemetery on the other. It’s spooky at night.

Anyway, it’s kind of a teenage right of passage in Huntsville to get stoned, sneak into the park in the middle of the night, and try to scare your friends.
So you should probably start a thread to prove your point. Because all the other threads you are mentioning aren’t enough.

Which are clearly started to instigate.

Also, I fricking hate every new character
The little Asian intern is already annoying and she’s hardly said a word.

It was an odd cliffhanger.

Robby doesn’t need to keep being a dick to Langdon. It makes him look bad.

I agreed with the new doctor about the mindset of the doctors and the name “the pitt”. Embracing that “hotel of last resort” mindset may instill some team spirit but it can also be defeatist.

I thought Strange New Worlds had some really good episodes.

I was proud of them. I was almost rooting for them.

Maybe it’s more like the worst shift ever equals one season.
It isn’t going to necessarily be the next day is it?

I could see them swapping out cast members as needed.

Literally the only complaint I heard about this show was the shoehorned in woke stuff. I thought it was there, but not enough to take me away from enjoying the show. I watched the creators and writers being interviewed on CBS Sunday morning and I doubt it’ll be different this season.

As far as last season, I didn’t think sending the black doctor home or the drug abuse blow up added anything to the story. Just my 2 cents on that. I thought it was great though.
I get a weeks vacation during the fall and another during the spring.
Louisiana’s number one export is college degrees. But at least the state taxpayers foot the bill for them first.
I’m going to piggyback on this thread.

If six days is enough, would fall or spring break be better?

The only must haves on my list is biking down the volcano and a helicopter ride around the lava fields.

I was about to bring up Camp Shelby. Plenty of rolling hills.

I had to do something very similar in the parking lot of my lodge to my 04 Tahoe. It was a tiny little linkage and only took about 30 minutes to fix.

YouTube plus owning an extremely popular vehicle has made me a better mechanic than I ever thought possible.
How big of dicks were y’all?

You know that all the apologizing and acknowledgement doesn’t just clear the air for all parties.

It’s about time for another one of these anyway, and all the previous ones are locked.

TIL that Jim Harbaugh has more career rushing yards than Bo Jackson.

I could get on board with this. I would give the same answer for Obi Wan (and a list of other reasons).
What’s context of his “told ya so”?
