I googled Lisa Ling.  The topic of tonight’s episode of This American Life was teaching women to fight like men in the military.  I’m guessing they filmed at Pendleton Airforce Base.  No idea what the brainwashing references.


 I also learned that Lisa Ling and I have the same birthday.

I feel like this was a text to someone that got posted?

Multi tasking gone wrong? I’m so confused!!!

Except it has a subject heading ha? I’m so curious how this will play out.

[pugz]

basilosaurus did you have a lady glass of win last night?

[bugandbibs]

BUT, are you brainwashed?!

[taratru]

What is even happening in here?

[downtoearth]

So did we figure out what Lisa Ling was being a devil about?  Was it about women being just as good at combat? Was it about Pendelton? 

[mcsangel2]

It's good you said this because I got it in my head that Pendleton was that expensive bike thing (i.e., Peleton) that people are cultish about, so I read the first couple posts wondering whyLisa Ling was talking about exercise trends.

That's funny, I was also thinking bicycles, but I had to think about it a bit to realize I was thinking about Victoria Pendleton (a champion track cyclist).

Ambien, with CNN, in the bedroom. That’s my guess for this game of GBCN Clue.

[itsme]

Marine Corps Base, MCT (Marine Combat Training), females. That's what I got from a search on the subject.

I hope there's never an explanation. Like the D.B. Cooper of message boards.

[basilosaurus]

Oh, lordy. There are tapes. Nothing to see here. The worst part is I was completely sober.

Why would you admit this?!?

“Wrong board” would have been sufficient ;-)

[basilosaurus]

I honestly cannot say why I posted. I'm pretty much an open book and honest. It crossed my mind, and there was a keyboard in front of me. That is no excuse. But I do value my sobriety, so I reacted to that.

No one’s mad, just confused! What did your post mean?

[af1212]

Now the post is deleted? What is happening!

Wtf? That was even more baffling. What did the post meaaaaaannn?

Sorry basilosaurus I was just teasing and thought I had missed something. I understand sobriety is important for some and not something I was trying to devalue for you.

I'm curious about the post too because I like Lisa Ling and we are a military family (although not Marine)

This thread is painful. She's making a reference to Comey, "Lordy, let there be tapes."

[RockNVoll]

I saw this post about 20 minutes after I saw Lisa Ling in real life at the airport the other day and I thought, "What a crazy coincidence." Then I actually went into the post and had no idea what OP was talking about and was so confused.
