They Still Didn't Like Each Other Very Much

Some wingnut troll found naked pictures of Barack's mom on a vintage porno site and posted them. I don't know who originally found them, they're all over the Righty Siteys. Surf around a little, you'll find them.

I don't think they're photo shopped. It looks like her. They're not bad. Clearly taken by a man who could center and focus a picture and not one put off by short, pale girls with large, slightly lumpy buttocks. Very nice breasts. Pointy and perky, though they don't look like they are built to last. The setting is a tawdry, drab, swinging sixties bachelor pad, with a trimmed Christmas tree off to one side and a suitcase stereo with jazz albums strewn around, on the other. The only apparel the young woman has on in the picture, are a pair of dated, gaudy, high heeled platform pumps. For the record, she doesn't look the least bit coerced or uncomfortable. Good for her. This could be a little awkward for Barry. If he's smart, he won't even comment.

This reminds me of an episode that occurred on the Seawolf, late on one long Summer deployment. A couple of forward ICs were standing in the chow line, a young 3rd and his leading 1st. They didn't like each other much and the 3rd was always dogging the senior man. The kid turned to the guy and hit him with the oldest one in the book.

"Jesus we've been at sea for a long time, I'm as horny as a goat. Say, do you have any naked pictures of your wife. That would a very nice thing to have."

The 1st grumpily replied that he certainly did not, in a tone that implied he found the idea repugnant.

Then the zinger from the 3rd. " I could let you borrow some of mine, they're nasty, I've got a shitload."

The 1st class' mouth fell open then clenched. He flushed bright red and went for the other guy's throat, thumbs punching brutally down on the other guy's prominent Adams apple. He was in a blind rage. He would have killed the guy.

We pulled them apart. After we watched for a little while. This was in plain view of 20 to 25 guys, right outside the goat locker.

Normally, shipboard violence is not tolerated on subs. There are good reasons for this. They try to screen out the guys with this potential and send them to bird farms, where they get great evals and advance quickly. There could have been serious consequences, for something like this. It was an act of deadly force. Nobody that saw it happen could deny it. The 1st disappeared into the wardroom for a few hours.

In the end, the 1st was made to apologize, publicly, to the 3rd. He sounded like he meant it and by then, I bet he did. The 3rd accepted the apology and apologized himself for a joke that was in poor taste, at the wrong time, in the wrong place. There could have been a court martial and DD. There wasn't. There was no NJP, no reprimand in any service jacket, not even any lingering concern that he would do anything like this again. The 1st made Chief after that and since he was already in a Chief billet, stayed aboard. The two guys worked together from that point on, with no problems. They still didn't like each other very much.

I don't know what this has to do with naked pictures of Obama's mom. It just reminded me, is all.
