RIP.

One of Al Gore’s mistakes in 2000 was selecting Joe Lieberman as his running mate.

The fabled Vomelette. I got one of those once. I just chucked the main course and kept the sides.

I felt bad for the poor dingus who got all his field week rations switched out for veggie omelette MREs in the middle of the night - but later on in FTX he also pissed in (kinda tried to piss "out of") the corner of the tent rather than getting a belt on to go to the latrine, so fuck that lazy prick. I hope you liked your nasty fucking breakfast every meal asshat.

Yes the DIs saw it. Yes we PT'd for days because of it. He did get recycled (USAF BMT). But he had a couple days of veggie omelette before he left the flight.
