submariner bubblesphere blog roundup 05-16-08
time again to wander around the bubblesphere, gathering the various posts from our submariner brethren. i've tried to get this started the last two fridays, but being busy with everything else has kept me from doing so. anyway, here's this edition.
first, a new blogger (thanks Joel): welcome to The EM Log. go read his posts. this is a great find, and is now on my daily to do list.
as always, check out the Sub Report for the latest doings in the world of submarines. drop eric an email to let him know how much you appreciate the work he does.
and the big submariner kid on the bubblesphere block has a post calling for seastories about faking news and sports. if you were on submarines back in the day, the radiomen were the conduit of all outside info. and every radioshack had at least one joker. read about some of those exploits.
the brain amongst us has a post about how a certain senator is a nub. couldn't have said it better myself willyshakes.
and chap has a couple of posts that ramp up the wayback factor. a quote from this post
and gus discovers he's a colon in his latest roundup. if you've ever read any Kurt Vonnegut, you will should be able to figure out that when my kids tell me i'm a * they are not referring to a punctuation mark.
as usual, i'm not pointing you to any specific post by Vigilis. reason: too damned many good posts to list. visit, read, read some more.
Rob has an answer for the phone callers asking him for their vote.
the magazine o' Rob has a post exploring the "myth of the pro-military". hmmm. Rob, no smackdown on your take of things, but your political fellow travelers might raise some concern. i suggest you read Liberal Fascism toot sweet. by the way, how you liking civilian life?
digging back a ways, the old man explores "school security". some progress.
Reality Frame discusses "the puppet media". funny how all sides find fault with the media supplying us with news and opinion.
Cookie is another blogger that i'm simply pointing you towards. go, read, laugh. too damned many good posts to pick from, so go read them all.
The Knave posts some tips for gasoline users. that's most of us, i reckon. thanks for the pointers.
Eric of the world renowned Sub report has a bunch of blog entries detailing various submarine classes. if you are a sub buff, wander over and learn something new!
while his mind wasn't wandering, Myron posted a Tommy Cox video about "the dives we've known". then he has an updated list with a ton of links to other Tommy stuff that can take up most of the evening following. i know, because i had to wave off the wife a couple of times, just so i could get through the list. i doubt Tom will remember, but playing guitar in crews mess with him and the other wannabe musicians helped pass a couple of very tedious and very boring (for the nukes) spec-ops in the 70's.
Out on a Limb posts about why it sucks to be the GOP. yeah, it's painful.
the old coot posts about a new Navy ship, and who it's named after. i think the process of naming the Navy's war craft after heroes is not only fitting, but right. too bad they named a bunch after politicians. i suppose that was one way to get funding.
my red headed bud from the old days has posted a ponder in light of California's Supreme Court decision the other day regarding gay marriage. Wick, you are still a shit stirrer. please don't ever change.
two from Nereus: first, he snivels about how busy he is, and then posts about the best way to excavate a pool. he's entering into the land of civilians, and the changes that come from that are plenty. a new pool would be nice!
Mega Munch is pondering changing around the rules for an eating contest at work. my thought? Keep the BEER!. move to a non-work venue, and go for it. gluttony without alcohol? it's just not right.
the A-ganger is pondering putting his daughter in a nunnery. hey, thanks for the link! it was "eye opening"
very sad. DCS, sorry for your loss
Right Mind explores a well known double standard.
the Midwatch Cowboy explores how to spend the economic stimulus check. his take is spot on.
in case you missed it, episode 02-1 is online at Tubedaze. still waaaaiting John. a little something like a backed up sewer is holding things up? shaaaaa.
exploring the Cycle of Life can be tough when it's your boat we're talking about.
Doc explores The Problem with 24 Hour News
Chucklehead is taking an indefinite break from blogging. newborns take up A LOT of time!
yet another blogger that i'm just going to point you towards to explore on your own. the whiner has a number of really interesting posts lately that you might find worthwhile. i did.
Wheels proves that there can be an I in TEAM. damn! i'm impressed.
In through the out door has a post concerning a super secret sub base.
Exurban League posts something that tightened my scrote. not me, nope, no way. i get sweaty climbing a foot stool.
Read an amazing obit for amazing man at the Razorback Museum blog.
Blunoz talks about difficult decisions that might save someone's life.
Bill recounts his time as a Tijuana Tourist. me, i bought a switchblade that the border guards took. easy come easy go.
The Good Donut saw something about the West Virginia primaries that made him ashamed. dude, i can see why. sorry.
Beeb discovers Salt is good for you.
Halibut Hanger has the latest skinny on the Virginia Class appropriations
Dave's got a new pet, and possibly a future dinner. naming it Stu?
EDIT to correct an oversight on my part, let me direct you to Submarines Forever where the Sonarman explores the illegal immigrant issue vis a vis the Catholic church. pretty interesting reading.
That's it folks. happy reading, and don't forget to drop a comment or two while working your way around the bubblesphere.
and before i forget, don't miss the last couple of posts at the geezer's corner.

"I went into teaching full of belief and idealism, knowing that our children had limitless potential. After 5 years I realised that there was no place for idealism in teaching. I left in 1978 not knowing what I would do."and then there is this one wherein he claims the author has him pegged...My first? a 1970 175 Yamaha Enduro.

forgot what I was gonna say--but I know it wasn't a good thing! ;)
Thanks for doing this! I always find a couple of new or missed blogs that are fantastic. Keep up the interesting work gang.
Grassyass (is that how its spelt?) Amigo. I always appreciate when ya do these round ups cause sometimes it jogs me to check some Sub bloggers I haven't been to fer awhile...and of course, I always appreciate the "Hat-Tip"....

Cookie
Nook,
Thanks for the mention, Even though you mention that I am sniveling... Whining maybe, bitching, Yep, sniveling.... well, OK, that's what ET's from the pointy end of the boat do best. So yeah I'm sniveling.
The end of the career in the canoe club has been better than expected. I have found a great job and am enjoying the free time without the "Boat" looming over my head.
Nereus
