Gerrit vir die oorwinning!

If I owned that hat, I don’t know if it would ever come off my head! It would certainly be the lid of the “King of mdwest fest in Dallas”…

I was 6 in 1976 and I remember that whole summer being one big BBQ. What is happening today is shameful…

Speaking of “drank the water at Camp Lejeune”, I may or may not know a guy who drank the water in the Shit River at NAS Cubi Point. I wonder if there is a VA rating for that intestinal mess? For those that aren’t familiar with said body of water, it tries to keep the young Marines and Sailors...
