You opened this can of worms sausage fingers.. I don't hesitate to go anywhere.

What can of worms did I open? The fact that I shared with another member of the forum that he and my dad have the same hobby?

Yeah, my dad always has some interesting literature. Have you ever been to any of the reenactments? There's a big one he goes to in Pennsylvania every January for a week. They've got a huge militaria sale and some good presentations and guest speakers.

I have never been, but it sounds really cool. Im a huge WWII nerd, so this stuff is really fascinating to me. haha

By talking shit.... Whilst being a complete douchebag in real life, no matter how cool you try to be with your pseudo intellectual wannabe persona online.

War reenacting is for fucking nerds. Your dad is a nerd, you are a nerd. It's a valid question I asked, and a fair assesment that you come from a long of dorks. I imagine somewhere down the line some ancestor of yours would be ashamed.

Random factoid. My Grandfather was one of the first Americans to cross into Germany as part of a scouting/recon party.

Random Factoid II. My family technically fought against each other in WWII. My great-grandfather was a German sailor and my grandfather was a freedom fighter in Yugoslavia fighting the Germans/communists. lol

You're a funny guy 90% of the time but you're just being a dickhead.

Yeah, I have all sorts of crazy fucking stories of his.

I also have a pair of German sniper spotter binoculars he took off a dead kraut. My uncle has some of his other stuff, including a Nazi medic helmet.

I wasn't trying to be funny, I'm trying to be a dickhead.. aka honest.

I don't think he was trying to be funny when ridiculing my tatoo dedicated to my dead grandmother that played a large portion in raising me either.

Why didn't you come to my defense? For ****'s sake rush, get it together.

So essentially when somebody trolls you, you get butthurt? Seems about right. Like I said, kudos for you dedicating something to the woman who raised you. That's admirable. In the end, it's still a shitty tattoo. You're still an asshole.

Do I seem butthurt? Did I cry about it, or simply point out that you look like a troll.. (a real one, not the internet type) with your fat fingers and dopey looking face?

Rush is coming in to defend you, because I've made you look so stupid. He says I'm being too mean.

Your trolls weren't really that great, it's just that you're a loser in real life, that tries to be cool, and intellectual on the internet.

And you're fat and look like a dope, trying to make fun of the way somebody else looks.

The issue is you coming in dicks-a-swingin derailing this thread.

If you're interested, I can hit up my dad and get the names and numbers of some of the guys he knows who're militaria collectors. He's also got a friend, Rollin Curtis, who owns a business called At the Front. They specialize in original militaria sales, as well as US, German and Russian reproduction militaria. Here's a link to their website.

Sorry to interrupt, boss, but a couple of posts up he kinda did ridicule the tattoo :lol: Although I don't think it was brought up before that. But who's keeping track of these things? :D

Outside of sports, I like movies and comic books. (I also play rec sports for fun but I guess that's not really outside of sports)
