Feel Good About Marines and Dogs
— Dave in Texas

When Gundlach saw Casey, he put his head in his hands and cried. She licked his face, wagging her tail furiously.
"It was a total surprise," he said. "I owe her. I'll just try to give her the best life I can."

Casey and Sgt. Ross Gundlach served on over 150 missions together. They are together again.

Very sweet.

15 So is this now an open thread? Something weird is about to happen where I live. Whole bunch of women are having some sort of religious conversion next to where I am. Singing, crying, whatever. And they have set up some cloth screen, like a changing area.

I'm guessing that there may be some sort of baptism thing that is going to happen.

Funny thing is, I'm above and looking down on these ladies.

Should be interesting...

Well, the one that slammed into Jupiter certainly broke apart before it hit.

Anything is possible.

43 Though we may be in for a good run of SciFi despite SyFy. (As the BBT guys call it, siffi ) Oblivion was actually pretty good. Seem to be some interesting trailers out there.

44 I wonder what has happened to some of the other dogs from Iraq. Remember Nubs? He was the lab-ish dog who had his ears cut off, who tracked down the Marine who had befriended him for miles? Eventually he got him home to SD. That seems so long ago. Maybe, he's passed on. My big gripe with dogs: They should live longer. It hurts too much when they leave us.

The New Star Trek just isn't Star Trek at all which is fine if you don't like Star Trek but if you don't like Star Trek why make Star Trek?

Personally I think it sucked (the first reboot) but the old ones all kind of sucked in their own way.

59 The thing that broke up and slammed into Jupiter in 1994 was a comet, not an asteroid. Comets are much more likely to fragment than asteroids. Or. it was a squadron of hostile Alien spaceships that a team of human geniuses infiltrated and sabotaged.

61 I disagree on the new ST. However, one problem with all new SF is that they aren't former military on the production staff. So they don't understand crew dynamics. The Captain is the Captain. That's why a crew romance would not be tolerated. And that is where this new one goes wrong, but, hey I guess he needed to have a gay guy kissing a black woman to get past the censors, or something.

I was watching Apollo 18 the other night because why not and the parts of it where they are stuck and trying to fix things were terrifying. The actual "horror" parts of it weren't.

And of course the leader of the hot Japanese female ninja commando team had to do a Kirk to one of the aliens in order to find out how to destroy the invasion. Or she could have read the biology report that said 'just add water.'

80 AlextheChick, I could not suspend my disbelief long enough to even think of watching Apollo 18. Besides after Robinson Caruso of Mars and a few other cheesy movies, what is left? Oh wait perhaps dinosaurs retreated to the Moon to wait out the monkey boys, knowing the apes will nuke themselves so they can reconquer the planet.

Oh, it's not good, I wouldn't recommend it. It's frustrating, actually, because there's a good movie underneath it. The idea of the monsters is interesting and the parts where the astronauts are stuck on the moon with rapidly diminishing air and everything else are genuinely scary. But it doesn't work and not just because I don't like found footage stuff in general.

96 Alexthechick, from what you are saying I am getting vibes of 'where have I seen this before?' Oh wait, there is Alien where the alien literally gets under your skin. For a more docu-drama feel Marooned where Gene Hackman's character goes bonkers while the three man crew of Ironman One deal with rapidly diminishing oxygen trapped in Earth orbit because the SM main engine does not fire to deorbit.

105 Tami at May 18, 2013 02:23 PM - I suspect the horrified ones are older.

I suspect that as well. If true, it will just make my heart sink.

I've traveled the world in my job for about 30 years and I 've always been very, very grateful to come back to this place. I just can't stand seeing its uniqueness slip away.

On the positive side, my azaleas are blooming. The garden is a riot.

119 Hahahah!!! Check out Drudge for the The Hill link: "Treasury Secretary Jack Lew on Friday urged congressional leaders to raise the debt limit and insisted that the White House is not going to negotiate over the increase because lawmakers have "no choice." ROTFL

126 From the Houston article in the sidebar:

"Gayle Fallon, head of the Houston Federation of Teachers, says the Arnolds are misguided in their relentless pursuit of data. "Not everything of value can be measured," she says."

Of course, we must always measure teacher's paychecks substandard.

Fucking History Channel!

Last night...I started watching their show called "America's Book of Secrets".

On H2, the 2nd History Channel.

It was a new episode, about 'Presidential Scandals'.

How timely.

It lead off, with the Benghazi scandal...and mentions the attack and the lives lost.

Then, it shows Barky in the Rose Garden, the next day.

They say "The President condemns this terrorist attack"...and play that tiny portion of his speech where he was condemning terrorism in general.

Gah!

I turned it off. Couldn't take any more.
