On January 26, 1945, 2nd Lieutenant Audie Murphy climbed atop a burning tank destroyer and held 2 companies of German infantry and 6 tanks at bay, with only a mounted machine gun and field telephone to direct artillery fire, until a counter attack could be mounted. This is just one of several narratives describing his actions which earned him the Medal of Honor.
Just six months earlier then-Sergeant Murphy had earned the Distinguished Service Cross.
Audie Murphy was badass. Read up on him.

Well, we fought and won World War II in less time than it’s taken so far to evaluate this project. I mean, with all due respect, it is an insult to the American people to say that you need more time.
There are 10 other agencies that have reviewed this project and – correct me if I’m wrong, but my understanding is that the Corps of Engineers approved it, the Department of Agriculture approved it, the Department of Interior approved it, the Department of Transportation approved it, the Environmental Protection Agency – believe it or not – approved it, the Defense Department approved it; the Justice Department approved it, the Homeland Security Department approved it and the Department of Commerce approved it. Only the State Department, which I believe, by law is required to look at the International implications since its trans-Canada — only the State Department did not approve it

Do you remember Michael Winslow from Police Academy? You used to love the goofy little sounds he made. Well, here he is doing a cover of Led Zeppelin’s “Whole Lotta Love” and it destroyed my balls with it’s rock-a-tude. I’ve watched it 4 times to have my balls re-destroyed again and again.
WATCH THIS WITH THE SOUND UP AND THANK ME LATER.
holy crap
whoa.
That is insane.
this has been all over my dash today and I’ve watched it every time. Finally had to reblog because FUCK ME!
THIS IS FANTASTIC MUST-WATCH MUST-LISTEN

I guess they are circles, I can’t even tell, this makes my eyes go nuts and I can’t even look at it without getting kind of dizzy. Best optical illusion ever.

This is the same justification I used to buy expensive sunglasses.
Same here. I bought a pair of Maui Jims in 2001 for $200. Still got ‘em. Even sent them in to get fixed, well after the warranty expired, they fixed ‘em for free. One of the best investments I ever made. It’s about time to buy another pair …
