May be an image of text that says 'Wife: What is this pile of clothes doing on the floor? Me: I struck down a Jedi. Wife:... Wife:... Wife: I hate you. Me: Good. Let the hate flow through you.'

Some caption needed. By the outfit I'm guessing she is some kind of athlete...

Quite possibly the greatest female gymnast ever, 30 medals in international competition, 5 Olympic medals, 4 of them Gold. She should be in first place in medal count after these Olympics(needs 4)

I am missing the significance of the goat.....

 

Probably because it was not capitalized.

Ah. I guess I could ask more questions but that would only derail the thread further. Going back under my rock now. Somebody please let me know when the new Oldsmobiles get here so I can go take a look.

Don't tell a submariner that. Submarines are boats not ships.

I actually typed that first, but didn't feel like searching if any men had more medals.

I'm sorry for assuming the goat reference would be sufficiently apparent. Language is something that's constantly evolving and changing. 

I'm not normally a big follower of sports, there's certain people that deserve attention. In particular, I also really like the photo.

So much of elite level competition in any sport is psychological.

I can only imagine what it would be like to show up to a competition as a highly talented and accomplished 16 year old and looking over there and see this.
 

And speaking of language:

Not a meme, but semi related. Spotted at the Carlisle Import show last month:

Is that...driven of the PTO?!

 

Oh man, I think I saw that at the Ottawa Land Rover "Birthday Party" in 2001.

The thing that keeps bothering me about this, is if the ENGINE IDLE SPEED is the speed at which the blender is to be run, then the BLENDER SPEED (14:1) would be 10,500 RPM, not 14,000.  Did someone do their math wrong, or is the engine supposed to be idling at 1000 RPM for proper Land Blender operation? 

Maybe that's blender max speed. You might have to increase the engine speed depending on your ice.

I toured the USS Midway aircraft carrier in San Diego and the dude said one time the men had hot bunks.  

You got your 8 hour shift then the 2nd sailor got it for 8 hours onto the third guy.

That's like where I lived on the USCGC Acacia, except it was a pale green color.

Later, I became an Officer in the Army thinking it was a step up. Most of my time in the Army I lived in tents, plywood shacks, and shipping containers.
