Food Riot at Occupy Argghhh!

We have our own version of OWS at Castle Argghhh! where ne'er-do-wells demand free services and expect to live catered, consequence-free lives and expect and demand that the bourgeois pay for it. Meet Occupy Argghhh! Shown here bright and chipper and ready to rummmmmmble! This is usually what greets me when I head for the truck in the morning to go over to my cube farm that pays for this farm. They're fat, they're sassy, and they're hungry!

Where have all the milblogs gone?

David M at Thunder Run wants to know.I think he hits at most of it. Some of it is fashion - blogging is old hat now, and has been impacted both by ubiquity (gone are our days of 10K+ visits) which lead to niche choices - just like the proliferation of cable channels reduced the no-other-choice artificial numbers of the big tv nets. Social media has changed dramatically, with Facebook and Twitter being much easier to use (and tailor who recieves the data) than maintaining a blog.Plus, DoD has learned...

Gotta love PDO...

Property Disposal Office. Oops. Just dated myself. What the Major *meant* to say was, "DRMO. Defense Reutilization and Marketing Office." Because we know that name change made things so much clearer than PDO. Someone somewhere got a medal for that. Yanno, because the name-change just forced a culture change. We can't be *disposing* of excess property. Why, people might think we're throwing it away for something. But I digress. Apparently Fort Leonard Wood has been doing some sprucing...
