"The great irony is that Strahan is on a ship surrounded by men and women who would willingly sacrifice their lives to defend hi

North Korean Troops Get Sent To Bolster Russia's War On Ukraine, Immediately Begin "Gorging On Pornography"

1,000LB Truck Bombs, Pressure Plates & Rooftop Firefights: Celebrating Chaps' Alive Day

The ZeroBlogThirty podcast has nearly 620 episodes now, and I've been round for most of them. That paired with all the work trips we've taken and time spent together in general and you'd think I'd know Chaps & Cons' stories like the back of my hand, but honestly we don't talk about our own time in s

"No Thanks": North Korea Returns The U.S. Soldier Who Ran Across The DMZ Back In July

Quick refresher:  Back in Fall of 2022 Army Private Travis King got an assault charge for punching a fella in the face at a South Korean club, and then a couple weeks later he got into another conflict & proceeded to cause a bunch of damage to the back of a police car. A classic E-2 tale.  Apparentl

Veterans At This Flooded VFW Post Refused To Give Up, So Now Dave Portnoy Is Matching All Donations To Save It And Rebuild

Last Fall Hurricane Ida ripped through the Philly area & destroyed homes & businesses along the Schuylkill River (don’t ask me how many tries it took to spell that right).

NSFW: Blowjob Party For Vets At 'The Sausage Castle'

I realize we're well past Veterans Day & that I already gave a verbal recap of this event for ZeroBlog30, but I'd be remiss not to take advantage of this dreary, rainy, post-holiday Monday in NYC to brighten things up with a little reminiscing.. Thus, the video from my trip to The Sausage Castle's '

Michael Strahan, ZeroBlog30 & PFT Commenter Team Up For A Veterans Day Surprise

And thank you to the staff at Men's Ware

Fat Shaming Is Back In A Big Way

There are moments in Zero Blog 30 where Kate comes off as a big ole softee. When we start talking about the fats, that really brings it out.
