My butchers comments what are you feeding a army

So I stopped around Saturday to place a order for Labor Day. And I replied yes actually I am we will be having guest from the 82nd four young paratroopers my old alma mater so we need meat and a lot of meat. So I went to pay the bill so the butcher knocked off his profit anything for our men and women in service was his comment . Really cool I thought and I’ll pick it up Saturday after I get done with work.

My wife already has their room ready clean sheets and pillow cases and blankets as two of the young paratroopers will be crashing here. Plan is to burn burgers hot dogs steaks chicken or pork maybe even a slab of chocolate lab Saturday Sunday. Then leftovers Monday before they head back to Bragg. Even though their ages range from 18-20 I even bought 7 cases of beer for them. Even though I’m eating naltrexone for booze and it’s working. I get off work after a turn straight home no stopping to pick up my usual two quarts. And the one time in 5 weeks I did try to catch a buzz I noticed after like 8 beers my mind was telling me I’m satisfied tanks on full and I stopped.

Now to quote dash one in humor yes will hide the good silverware and china dishes. I’m still wondering if I should put in a piss tube in backyard for them. Boys get out of the flower beds and will slop them with sporks and plastic cups and paper plates 😁 men do not use the decorative bath hand towels or the teddy bear soap that’s all decorative. And come on guys would you stop drinking out of the dogs water bowl the sink is here for water. I do not want my furry boys to catch anything from you 82nd STD’s from the sky.

You guys will have a blast. I am sure that the Boog will be the main entertainment. You better warn the guys to watch their food around him though. That is a very thoughtful thing you are doing for these guys, TEB. Have a wonderful Labor Day.

I’ve found that Dales Seasoning goes well with lab if you don’t let it sit too long. Sounds like you have to meat and beer covered.

Y’all know you have to declare the house as a PLF free zone. I definitely go with a piss tube with chem lights around it.

Don’t leave any hand towels out, you never know where they end up. Just a roll of paper towels. That way no one will be tempted to fall in love with one. May want to declare it a fap free zone too.
