This is for strictly mildly interesting material. If it's too interesting, it doesn't belong. If it's not interesting, it doesn't belong.

This is obviously an objective criteria, so the mods are always right. Or maybe mildly right? Ahh.. what do we know?

Just post some stuff and don't spam.

It was in Afghanistan with the Mujahideen. In 1988 they were the good guys, and they had Osama Bin Laden in their ranks.

Fist bumping their faces, in a gentlemanly fashion.

Their fists to meet Vance and Rubio faces instead.
