Ha Ha You snagged one with Your Thames gaf. Thank you Mason. Fascinating as always !:-)
I once stepped inside of a large marine mammal. You can too, ask me how!!!
Also, all of your beliefs are wrong, fight me about it.
Terrific video! Thank you
Very interesting
Interesting stuff as always! I think this is one of the most underrated YouTube channels around
And yet here in Connecticut it is the Thames. Th-Ames😅
You were in Air Force?
Oh, you would have gotten me with the Thames troll if I commented before I finish watching a video. But Hellen Keller stressing the importance of logistics? 😂 Another unexpected site and I pity the poor souls stationed there. Thank you yet again for another WTF place on earth! You are true to your mission, sir 🖖 P.S. The sponsor link doesn't work…for me at least. I was curious.
