I have only done it when Dustin has asked for more, and never got even close to as carried away as he did. But yeah not doing it now that the mods have tightened up the thread, but now it is so slow.
What are you in the mood for ?
I think regular talks are fine. Crossing 1024 is more like good to have. Thread has already broken all previous records I think
I posted my best stories early in the thread when others were posting jokes, so now I don't have many good stories left I can tell on a open forum.
RBMK reactors cannot explode.
Here is a first hand story.
Before the Cuban missile crises in 1962 the US navy base in Guantanamo Bay Cuba hired most of their civilian workers from a little town on the other side of the North East Gate called Boqueron aka GITMO city. Afterwards they still allowed the old workers to work on the base, but did not hire any new Cuban workers. New workers came mostly from Jamacia after this. By the 1970's the number of these workers had dwindled to less then a hundred, but still each morning these old men came in the North East Gate from Cuba to go to work on a US Navy base. It was from the Jamaican workers that I learned the slang "bumbarasclot" the meaning of which has changed a bit over time.
There is also a lot of land crabs there.
thanks

That’s what she said

Interesting story

Please give me double traffic, thank you
We have iguanas like this here.
But in Guantanamo Bay Cuba I have seen these big tan colored ones that are as long as almost two meters, and must weight over 50 kg. This is just a low estimate as I did not actually weight one because they look kind of mean.
woah, thats a big one!
Hi! I would like to double the bandwidth.

Thanks in advance!
are kids in your area scared of this?
Are they…aggressive ? I’m just imagining them deciding to attack humans one day
Here is a first hand story.
Operation Eagle Claw, the failed attempt at the rescue operation of hostages held by Iran in 1980 was originally scheduled as a US Marine Recon operation, but mainly due to politics between the Army and the Navy it became one of the early Army Delta force operations. I expect that if the operation had been allowed to stay with the Marines it probably would have been successful and Ronald Regan would have never become President of the US in 1981.
From ChatGPT
Operation Eagle Claw was a failed military operation carried out by the United States in 1980 to rescue American hostages held in Iran. The operation was mounted in response to the Iranian seizure of the American embassy in Tehran and the taking of American hostages. The operation ended in disaster when a helicopter collision caused the deaths of eight American servicemen and forced the aborting of the mission. The failed operation was widely seen as a major embarrassment for the United States and led to the creation of a new special operations unit, known as the Delta Force.
i feel like they steal food
If they decide humans are food then it’s gonna be so lit lol. Planet Iguana
People, including kids, respect them. Dogs get eaten by them. The government posts signs warning about them. They are a protected species so we no longer can fuck with them or make them into boots and belts.
Armed iguanas army mounted with lasers.
The ones here look mean but are pretty shy and normally run away. If you corner the black ones and they bite you they can give you a very nasty infection due to some gland they have in their mouth.
Well that’s a relief. So no chances of one randomly pouncing on you while you take a walk at some park ?
The part about it leading to the formation of Delta Force is probably not correct. I was scheduled to be on this operation before it was handed off to the Army. We called it "The Disaster in the Desert"
Ok info available on public domain might be different or the bot’s A.I isn’t that accurate
I clarified the part I feel is not correct above.
No, you do not need to fear ninja iguana attacks here.
