Skippy: Yanks vs. Aussies

UNITED STATES VERSION

AUSTRALIAN VERSION

In this particular example, their cans are definitely bigger than our jars, with 40% more beef. You gotta open ’em from the bottom, though, otherwise you clean your ceiling.

Saturday Matinee: Mama Strutts

To my dear Mama Strutts.

Happy Independence Day!

Folks, I’m glad to be back on this glorious day. Marshal Penguin has obviously done an excellent job while I was gone, and I thank him for his professional services while I was relieving the officers in charge of the eastern front. Gramma Strutts is in the early stages of alzheimer’s, and I had to view the frontlines. All in all, it was a successful mission. We have a plan, and it is being implemented.

While on my excursion, I read a book that my lovely wife, Mrs. Strutts, had given me for Fathers’ Day.

I finished reading it in two days… and then read it again.

“Lone Survivor” by Marcus Luttrell is a must read for everyone over the age of 16. Luttrell describes his training as a Navy SEAL in the first half of the book. That training regimen is amazing by itself. These guys are the best of the best.

The remaining portion describes the experiences that he and three other Special Ops warriors experienced fighting the Taliban in the brutal mountains of the Hindu Kush, four against 200 enemy fighters. The true story is a can’t-put-it-down white-knuckle read.

Forget the opinions of CNN, nightly news, BBC, Associated Press, Reuters, NY Times, etc. This is the real deal; an amazing glimpse into the mind of a true warrior, his training, and what he was capable of doing with that training. Honest. Get it and pass it on.

Geez…

I found this here. Very odd…

Hymns are being replaced at funerals in one Australian city by popular rock classics like Led Zeppelin’s “Stairway to Heaven” and AC/DC’s “Highway to Hell,” a cemetery manager said Wednesday.
At Centennial Park, the largest cemetery and crematorium in the southern city of Adelaide, only two hymns still rank among its top 10 most popular funeral songs: “Amazing Grace” and “Abide With Me.”
Leading the funeral chart is crooner Frank Sinatra’s classic hit “My Way,” followed by Louis Armstrong’s version of “Wonderful World,” a statement said.
The Led Zeppelin and AC/DC rock anthems rank outside the top 10, but have gained ground in recent years as more Australians give up traditional Christian hymns.
“Some of the more unusual songs we hear actually work very well within the service because they represent the person’s character,” Centennial Park chief executive Bryan Elliott said.
Among other less conventional choices were “Always Look on the Bright Side of Life” by the Monty Python comedy team, “Ding Dong the Witch is Dead,””Hit the Road Jack,””Another One Bites the Dust” and “I’ll Sleep When I’m Dead.”

Weird…
