If I didn’t know any better, would swear someone at Ranger Up read a recent post here desiring Outlaw’s aviator weapon of choice on a shirt. Pre-order the below here, the latest piece of apparel sure to rile your thin-skinned friends.

When they designed the Apache Helicopter they pretty much decided to design a [...]

That is what they want, this is what they get

Ranger Up’s awesome team, at it yet again with their latest shirt, now available for pre-order. However — and completely sucking up to Outlaw — rather they’d used an Apache firing the kill-shots.

Either:

a) We made this shirt to mock the bastardization of an inane verse in the Koran by Islamic fundamentalists to [...]

The Fellowship of the Ring

Above is Lt. Cdr. (USN) Minter Dial who died in a Japanese POW camp in the Phillipines in 1945. He gave his Naval Academy ring to a fellow POW to give to his wife Lisa after the War… well… Smithsonian Magazine has the story of this ring…. and it’s a helluva ride. Thank God [...]

Aside from Tracy being born, much earlier than that in 1945 THIS happened…

This Citation was awarded to Audie Murphy for “Conspicuous Gallantry and Intrepidity Involving Risk of Life Above and Beyond the Call of Duty In Action With the Enemy”, 26 January 1945. The citation reads: 2d Lt. Murphy commanded Company B, which [...]

Occupy This, Reality Version

Eric — Tue, 17 Jan 2012 15:35:39 +0000

The latest shirt from our friends at Ranger Up, tellin’ it like it is. Pre-order as necessary …

There are a lot of ways to change the world.

The only way to actually accomplish anything of note, including the “change” this Occupy Wall [...]

Do you see the light?

Eric — Tue, 03 Jan 2012 05:28:53 +0000

For my fellow Threedonians who highly recommended I finally watch Band of Brothers as my Christmas vacation homework, mission accomplished and I cannot thank you enough. For better and worse, as the WWII veteran family members to whom I was closest (my grandfathers) served in the Pacific theatre as Marines and Navy, my interest [...]

3D Weekend Five: End-of-the-Year Dartboard

Wankette — Sat, 31 Dec 2011 15:30:30 +0000

Closing thoughts on the Year That Was: 2011. Fabulous new TV shows/movies/books/music you discovered? joys? irritations? anyone leave us this year you’ll especially miss? resolutions? regrets?

5. Downton Abbey (TV show): It’s soapy goodness in Edwardian England, pre- and during WWI.

4. TCM’s Robert Osborne: His time away was too long, but it made me appreciate [...]
