I thought I was agreeing with you?

But Rocky did beat Tommy's ass, so...

Anyway, I think you're making a hell of a point. If someone can't sing or play an instrument, are they a musician or a composer? I'm thinking you are right and they're composers.

Does rap count?

This is cool, but wouldn't that be unhealthy? BPAs and whatnot?

In 1983ish we (boy scouts) boiled water in a paper milk carton by placing it directly on hot campfire coals.

I would certainly think so.

This is excellent policing

Bear spray takes the fight right out of you.

Between wilding and shoplifting, pretty soon there won't be any businesses within 5 miles of a >50% black neighborhood, and everyone will pretend to not know why beyond "racism."

Don't cheat!!! If you do you're pretty sad because this shit is easy.

#1 is the right answer.

But the best answer is what the top response points out: None, they're all blue.

This is really cool, super tacky, and makes me wonder how long before they're broke.

I've always been good at those since the Tapper days.

I don't know, but how do I get an invite?

Great pull.

Read online that the incident the Americans call "The Battle of Mogadishu" or "Black Hawk Down" the Somalis call "The Day of the Rangers"

Which a way more badass name for that engagement and we should all use that instead.

Were they all rangers? I thought the one guys were SEALs?

You might be thinking of...................................... zero dark thirty? There was some other movie where a rando SEAL was helping out a squad of newish... Marines? on patrol.

Had to go to Google.

5 SEALs were on the ground in Somalia. Delta Force was there along with lots of Rangers. (I will have to watch the movie again because I thought SEALs died in the movie and according to my surfing the 5 SEALs all died, but 6 Deltas were lost.)

Based on light surfing, I cannot figure out Rangers versus regular soldiers on the ground. Were ALL the guys not SFs, Rangers?

From what I recall - Rangers were the security for the operation, initially setting up a 4 point perimeter. Seal/Delta were doing the prisoner scoop and also providing sniper cover on helicopters. Think it was all special operators, from the SOAR dudes, to the Delta snipers. At least initially. They rang
up the UN/10th mountain for armor to pull everyone out.

Thank you Troy. Also...I had a BIG typo below. All 5 SEALs survived. All earned Silver Stars too.

Pro Tip: Let go.

I always thought this was urban legend.

Sadly people really do pee in pools.

But yes, afaik, the blue is fake.
