Detour- I always loved this guy's work. RIP. Lived to a ripe 89. https://www.washingtonpost.com/local/obituaries/ga han-wilson-cartoonings-master-of-the-creepy-and-th e-macabre-dies-at-89/2019/11/23/42b1a22e-0e0f-11ea -8397-a955cd542d00_story.html | ||

My favorite cartoonist. I have his book "I draw what I see". Playboy magazine for me was always read in the following order. First, check out the centerfold. Then the cartoons. Then the interviews. Then the pictorials. Then the fiction. If I was really bored I'd get to the lifestyle crud, which never really had a connection to a kid. I still don't need a $100 martini set. To be honest the centerfold check was cover. I wanted to see the latest Gahan Wilson 'toon. ( not that I didn't appreciate the female form, but a macabre laugh, that was precious. ) | ||

Both of those end with ‘to’ finish the race, so I’m unsure what the point was. (Message edited by hootowl on December 02, 2019) | ||

I used to like reading Shel Silverstein in Playboy. | ||

There are words in Playboy? | ||

There are words in Playboy? And air brushing. | ||

There was brushing, Nair'ed away. | ||

Playboy had a lot of interesting content, words, images, and great cartoons. And boobies. | ||

"To be honest the centerfold check was cover." There was a cartoon in National Lampoon, I think, where a frat boy hid his Physics textbook in his Playboy, so he could study without being hooted at. ( know, bad grammar, but do you want 'at whom being hooted'?) | ||

I don't know... All I heard was "YOU BITCH!"  | ||
| Hootowl |
Hooted at is correct, since the preposition is not redundant. | ||

I guess you are our resident expert in all things Hoot. | ||

Very cool story... the accompanying video shows some extreme talent on jazz guitar. Might have to track it down later tonite, pipe it through the TV/hi-fi system. https://www.npr.org/2019/12/04/784706473/evgeny-po bozhiy-russian-prodigy-wins-international-jazz-gui tar-competition | ||

Although I've a backlog of books to be read, I may have to add this guy's sometime. https://www.npr.org/2019/12/04/784702588/the-best- thing-you-can-do-is-not-buy-more-stuff-says-second hand-expert | ||

Can’t be. Military bases are gun free zones. | ||

Sheldon said,"The only sin in Mathology is being stupid." Military bases are gun free zones. Not gun free if you are a security person there. | ||

In 1995, only two years after the worldwide web was born, Bill Gates tried to explain ‘The Internet’ to David Letterman https://9gag.com/gag/aDg78rw | ||

Cops can carry on school grounds. That doesn’t mean schools aren’t gun free zones. Similarly, military bases are gun free zones where the base cops are allowed to be armed. Seems fairly straightforward. | ||

Seems fairly straightforward. Not trying to be mean or(  ). My point will be evident if it comes out that it was a security force person that did the shooting. | ||
| Hootowl |
Gotcha. I hope that isn’t the case. | ||
| Ourdee |
I really hope it isn't. Those guys put up with enough crud. | ||

The shooter “opened fire on shipyard personnel with his M4 service rifle and then turned his M9 service pistol on himself,” the report says. https://www.foxnews.com/us/pearl-harbor-naval-ship yard-shooting-details | ||

Is it too soon to ask if there will be a push to take weapons of war away from our government? Sad to see this. Sounds like he was part of the security. I wonder if they will piece together what really happened. | ||

In port, a sub will typically employ a roving watch for security using a young enlisted sailor, as well as a petty officer of the watch and an officer of the deck on the quarterdeck to check ID cards of crew members and visitors attempting to board and disembark. It sounds like he was simply a sailor, who was posted on guard duty at the time. What they are required/authorized/forbidden to carry when on guard duty, I'm sure we'll find out soon enough... |
