Ask the Colonel Anything

[Colonel Frank Grimes]

Have you ever visited Sopranos Landmarks?

OMG you really need a butthurt cream.

This is not Palestine vs Israel and my question is not even slightly related to that topic.

In no particular oder:

The Doors
Pixies
Clutch (first four albums)
Ministry (1986 to 1993
Metallica (first four albums)



My father tried to teach me the piano when I was 8 or 9 but I had no interest. My father's family is musically gifted but I inherited my mother's tone deafness.



My uninformed opinion is... I don't know but if I have to take a guess it would be Ali.

However, styles make fights and I don't know if Ali ever fought someone who used the Peek-a-boo style and I don't know if Tyson's stamina would hold up. Ali won his fights by allowing others to wear themselves out and when he saw they were fading he'd turn it up on them.

I read this post before but honestly I forgot about it.

I'm familiar with The Doors and Metallica's music but not with Clutch, Pixies, and Ministry until tonight. I listened to some of their songs (watched videos) on YouTube. I don't like the Pixies, Ministry is really extreme, I didn't like it, that is more for guys, and Clutch is good but more for guys.

No.

I don't recall ever using AmTrak.

I answered that question a few pages back.



I think his life in hockey was funny.



Normally people idolize superstars: the guys who score all the goals, etc. My favorite player was Ken Daneyko: a tough stay-at-home defenseman who is referred to as Mr. Devil because he was the NJ Devils first ever draft pick when they moved from Colorado to New Jersey and he played his entire career (20 years in New Jersey).



A close second is Mike Peluso because he went from being considered just a goon when he played for Chicago to a decent player when given the opportunity. I like hearing of players who have limited talent make the most of an opportunity to prove hard work can make a difference.

Unfortunately, Peluso now suffers from epileptic fits and other health issues because of his playing days.



MMA is my favorite sport.

I don't watch hockey anymore. It's a different game from when I enjoyed watching it. It's more like European hockey now.



NJ Devils but I couldn't name 90% of the players on the roster in 2024.



NJ

Thanks for answering all my questions. I watched the hockey video. Lots of fighting. MMA is mixed martial arts. I have never watched that before. You like violent stuff. I'm a bit surprised by that but I feel that that is okay because you are a man.

from Wikipedia:

Mixed martial arts is a full-contact combat sport based on striking, grappling and ground fighting, incorporating techniques from various combat sports from around the world

What's the context behind this image?

What's the context behind this image?

It's from their discussion on the Israelis and the Palestinians in another thread. I can see how it would look like a non sequitur.

And why Colonel became obsessed with this image? Lol

You'll have to ask Frank. Maybe it was his "gotcha" moment in his debate with Kess.

Because Kess keeps annoying CFG in his Israel vs. Palestine Rebirth thread. CFG ignores him with that image.

Say that you're trapped on Mars for five years in the future, and you can have only one book, one CD, one movie, one TV series, one drink, one food, and one woman. What/who would they be (pretend that this could really happen)?
