THURRRSSSDAY

Today is Slovak National Uprising Day (Výročie Slovenského národného povstania), a public holiday in Slovakia. This public holiday commemorates August 29th 1944, which marked the start of an uprising against the pro-Nazi government of the time. In 1938, the Munich agreement established the independent Slovak state, led by Jozef Tiso. In June 1944 Tiso declared martial law allowing the German army to occupy the country on August 29th.

Up to that point, there had been limited and sporadic guerrilla resistance operations across Slovakia. To counteract the planned occupation, a formal military plan was put in action by the exiled Czechoslovak government, Slovak partisans and deserters from the Slovak army. Headquartered in central Slovakia, the forces of the uprising consisted of several armoured units as well as part of the Slovak Air Force. Along with the Warsaw Uprising, it was the largest uprising against Nazism and its allies in Europe.

Today is Slovak National Uprising Day. This public holiday commemorates August 29th 1944, which marked the start of an uprising against the pro-Nazi government of the time.

In 1938, the Munich agreement established the independent Slovak state, led by Jozef Tiso. In June 1944 Tiso declared martial law allowing the German army to occupy the country on August 29th.

Despite some limited support from the allies, the uprising was crushed by the German forces before the end of October 1944. After the defeat, the remaining forces of the uprising continued with small guerrilla actions until the end of the war.

Combo business…

Bada Bing!!

Running feels great unless you compare it to not running.

I told my suitcase no vacation this year. Now I’m dealing with emotional baggage.

Never try and give an introvert the silent treatment. You will be in their wheelhouse and you will lose.

Sorry I’m late. My alarm didn’t go off because I didn’t set it because I don’t like coming here.

Your inability to grasp science is not a valid argument against it.

Them: You need to listen to your body more. Body: You’re old and you want pizza.

Whenever my wife is upset, I let her color in my tattoos. She just needs a shoulder to crayon.

I watch so many crime programs that when I turn the TV off, I wipe my fingerprints off the remote.

Boss: This is the third time you’ve been late this week. Do you know what that means? Me: It’s Wednesday?

Sometimes people come into your life and they need to stop doing that.

I’m a person who wants to do a lot of things trapped in a body that does not.

Bada Bing!

I read the nutrition facts on a box of cookies. I found out I need to eat 83 cookies to get 100% of my daily protein.

I got drunk last night and decided to do my own taxes. I’m getting back four million dollars this year!

If you’re 40+, it’s time to leave the young girls alone and get a woman that understands the signs of a stroke.

For her birthday, I took my wife to an orchard and we stood there looking at the trees for half an hour. Not the Apple Watch she was expecting apparently.

A lot of people don’t realize that the actor that played Wilson in Castaway is the same actor from the volleyball scene in Top Gun.

The English language is so crazy with silent “K”s. One silent K in “knot”. Two silent K’s in “knuckle”. Three silent K’s in “republican”. Four silent K’s in “knickknack”.

I, for one, like Roman numerals.

*airhorn sound* *second airhorn sound *Me: This isn’t deodorant!

Person giving me directions: You can’t miss it. Me: You wanna bet.

I wasn’t planning on going for a run today. But those cops came out of nowhere.
