The old song by Peter, Paul, and Mary.
What's it about?

Ur imagination can wander on that🥴

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Douglas_AC-47_Spooky

Come on wabster

Don’t he live by the sea

It might be it's about what you want it to be?.

Smoking weed.

L.W.

Wabi yuo evr been hi?

You’re tripping balls, Richard.

It's about a little boy who grows up and leaves his childhood behind, not realizing how much it hurts those he outgrew.

Richard,

Are you ok? Type 1 for Yes, 2 for No

You being a ‘retired’ “staff sgt” figured you’d be referring to Spooky.

Spooky was an AC-130.

Puff was an AC-47.

Seeing as how you got all butt hurt about the 4 seat Apache I figured you would want to be set right.

You may thank me later.

Drug induced lyrics.

I’m sure you’d know it well being the fuel jockey and all.

But thanks for the clarifique!! And thank you for your service.

Xoxoxo

Fatfuk shows up LOL

Thanks for the Thanks.

Don't worry I'll try and keep you straightend out on Military stuff.

Wabi, are you growing magic mushrooms??

See what happens when you bring that chit out? Burns fat ass appears lol

[img][/img]

I got your Magic Dragon right here.

This was "Puff", but many refer to it as "Spooky". Pretty cool plane.

LSD

The burning question is- - - - -did Paul Peter Mary?

Peter might a been puffn Paul 🤔

Used to be some blotter with the pic on it

No one who knows calls the AC-47 "Spooky".

Slummy has been corrected so lets not dwell on his mistake. We need some understanding here.

Ever smoked the devil's lettuce Wabi???

You guys are naive, it's totally about a guy who likes blowing reptiles.

Haven’t tripped acid in thirty years.

Puff would fly over and put three bullets per square foot the size of a football field. The Green Beret movie with John Wayne had one fly over an overrun outpost. Nothing in the open lives. Bad ass. Edk

LOL.

That would require 144,000 bullets not counting the endzones.

Movies are not real life.

C-130 Gunships were also called “Puff the Magic Dragon” as well as having the “Spooky” name. They replaced the AC-47’s.

Mmmmmmmm!!!!! Da Baptist Booze!

Dude, you just ruined my childhood.

Well, googler says they could carry 55,000 on average, so the man isn’t all that far off. Call it an antler.

LOL.

I am not saying in the past some has not mistakenly used the the term "Puff" for the AC-130 just like Slummster mistakenly refered to the AC-47 as "Spooky".

Just because a few get thing wrong does not mean the rest of us should not correct them so they too can be correct going forward.

Thanks to all for their attention in the matter of correctly refering to US Air Force Gunships.

Fat fugg Burns- - - -is not old enough to have ever worked on Puff. Just another stolen valor liar!

Well I suppose someone of your limited mental ability would score 38% as not that far off.

You seem to have a fixation on homosexuality


With 54 posts yesterday, you might want to get out of the house and get some fresh air

It may help

Only a phaag would count my posts congrats

Its mind boggling

You have a problem

Technically one can't be the EarlyDrunk if they don't start early.

Her keyboard is slurring.

I’m not sure she can blame it on that

I’m positive she’s an illiterate dumbfuck

Fatfuck Jonny and his boi frind cumligia LOL

And now more homoerotic fixation

Confirmed

So that’s what happened to the New Testament Saints when Jesus died?

John the Baptist[note 1] (c. 1st century BC – c. AD 30) was a Jewish preacher active in the area of the Jordan River in the early 1st century AD.[19][20] He is also known as Saint John the Forerunner in Eastern Orthodoxy, John the Immerser in some Baptist Christian traditions,[21] Saint John by certain Catholic churches, and Prophet Yahya in Islam. He is sometimes alternatively referred to as John the Baptiser.[22][23][24]

I see you are feeling frisky with numbers tonight. What’s the approximate percentage off of kill zone to strike an antler?

This video answers all your questions, young Padowan, but I suspect you will score in the low 30th precentile for reading trace.

The AC-130 was tagged with several names, depending upon model.

Cataract surgery is in his immediate future

So once again johnnys full o’ schit?

Beats rectal prolapse repair.

There are none so blind as those who will not see.

It more of a Sand Packed VeeJay issue than shitty eyeballs. But she probably has shitty eyeballs in addition to the Sand Packed VeeJay.

JC, you too with the homoerotic fantasies?

I guess that the people that modified some of the gunships (Vietnam bound) in Greenville, TX obviously didn’t know as much as you.

🎯

Rush Limbaugh played a song very similar to that.

Well at least you're now speaking to your experiences.

That's a good start.

LOLOLOLOLOLOLOL

it’s OK Rick. You only have to use the doughnut for a few weeks.

If she gets that lil hinny issue fixed up, has a sand flushing of the VeeJay, and the clouds removed from her eyeballs she will be right as rain.

It's all up side from here.

Nope.
Peter liked little girls and democrats.

From Wikipedia:
Criminal conviction and pardon[edit]
In 1970, Yarrow was convicted and served three months in prison for taking "improper liberties" with 14-year-old Barbara Winter, who went with her 17-year-old sister to Yarrow's hotel room in Washington, DC seeking an autograph. Winter stated that Yarrow answered the door naked and made her masturbate him until he ejaculated. Yarrow served three months of a 1–3 year prison sentence.[47][48][49][50][51] He apologized for the incident, saying that "it was an era of real indiscretion and mistakes by categorically male performers. I was one of them. I got nailed. I was wrong. I'm sorry for it."[48]
Yarrow was granted a presidential pardon by Jimmy Carter on January 19, 1981, the day before Carter's presidency ended.[47][48][52] For decades, Yarrow avoided mention of the assault, but by the early 2000s, it became a campaign issue for politicians he supports.[50][53][54] In 2004, U.S. Representative Martin Frost of Texas, a Democrat, canceled a fundraising appearance with Yarrow after his opponent ran a radio advertisement about Yarrow's offense;[50] in 2013, Republican politicians in New York called on Democratic congressional candidate Martha Robertson to cancel a scheduled fundraiser with Yarrow.[53][55] In 2019, he was uninvited from a folk music festival when the organizers were informed of his conviction.[56]
In May 2021, The Washington Post wrote that "[Yarrow's] pardon by Carter — perhaps the only one in U.S. history wiping away a conviction for a sexual offense against a child — escaped scrutiny when it happened. It was granted just hours before the American hostages in Iran were freed, which captured headlines for weeks." The same article details other allegations of sexual assault of minors made against Yarrow.[47]

Sounds like Pedo Joe would have welcomed his support- - - - -"birds of a feather- - - -etc."

Interesting history.


Spooky, Puff, and Spectre

They never said. It's been debated for 50 years and no one knows even now. Those who say it's about smoking grass are just guessing but It's as good a guess as any, I guess.

RE: “slummy being corrected”

AC 130 would began to assume the Specter moniker

Puff and Spooky seem to harbor interchangeable with AC 47 affectionate naming conventions.

Ho hum, 4 passenger Apache gunship would be pretty cool though

LOL.

I had a pretty good run and you folded like a cheap suit.

Uhh naw



LOL

LOL.

I made you my bitch for funnsies.

It's about a little boy growing up and leaving behind his imaginary friend (a stuffed toy dragon named Puff).


The lyrics tell a story of the ageless dragon, Puff, and his playmate, Jackie Paper, a little boy who grows up and moves on from the imaginary adventures of childhood, leaving a disheartened Puff on his own. The song's story takes place "by the sea" in the fictional land of "Honah Lee".
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Puff,_the_Magic_Dragon


Speculation about drug references

After the song's initial success, speculation arose—as early as a 1964 article in Newsweek—that the song contained veiled references to smoking marijuana. The word "paper" in the name of Puff's human friend Jackie Paper was said to be a reference to rolling papers, the words "by the sea" were interpreted as "by the C" (as in cannabis), the word "mist" stood for "smoke", the land of "Honahlee" stood for hashish, and "dragon" was interpreted as "draggin'" (i.e., inhaling smoke). Similarly, the name "Puff" was alleged to be a reference to taking a "puff" on a joint. The supposition was claimed to be common knowledge in a letter by a member of the public to The New York Times in 1984.

The authors of the song have repeatedly rejected this interpretation and have strongly and consistently denied that they intended any references to drug use. Both Lipton and Yarrow have stated, "'Puff, the Magic Dragon' is not about drugs." Yarrow has frequently explained that the song is about the hardships of growing older and has no relationship to drug-taking. He has also said that the song has "never had any meaning other than the obvious one" and is about the "loss of innocence in children." He has dismissed the suggestion of it being associated with drugs as "sloppy research".

Very interesting - thanks for posting.

Good article but it didn't include any photos of the AC-119.

Call them what you will but the AC-130 gunships hammered the NVA trucks and armor on the Trail for a couple of years towards the end of the SE Asia Unpleasantness until the war dogs called them off.

Only the greatest political parody EVER.......Barack the Magic Negro.......featuring white comedian Paul Shanklin as "reverend" Al Sharpton!

My numbers on Puffs firepower came from a military film from around 1970 when I was 17 years old. It’s possible the military might have exaggerated a little.
On a different note I believe my draft number that year was 312 so no Vietnam for me. I had two older brothers who had already been there for the fun and games.
One was a door gunner in a Huey. They took out the 30 caliber guns and installed 50 cal for [bleep] and giggles. Edk

Holster sniffing wing wiper dreams of being perceived as a warrior again, and again, ad nauseum.

Im so glad youre here to start these stupid ass trolling threads. What would we do without you

Since we are being so correct, "referred" is properly spelt wid 2 of these, "R"

All while the POS Dimocommie, Walter Cronkite, chortled nightly the US could never stop the influx of the VC (and North Vietnamese) because of the Genius of the myriad of avenues of advancement afforded them by the Ho Chi MinhTrail.

JB is right about everything.

Putin has no chance against the quueerr Zelensky.

Either way, no team ever hated hearing one above running racetracks in support of a ground movement. They are one of the AF's best piece of kit..

Well, they had excellent chow halls as well

Ah yes Wikipedophile .The bastion of all modern knowledge that anyone can edit and change content at anytime . For sure the place to go to get honest information.

Majac?

It’s part of the shtick.

Couple of things. We have at least one guy on the 'Fire who flew in AC-47s. Flyboy Flem, I think. That "cover a football field" line came from a PR film and has no relation to real life. These are not area weapons. It would have much more accurate to say they can put 1,000 rounds of 30-cal into a truck in five seconds.

We still fly and use AC-130s. They're smoking (no reference to Puff) bad guys in the sandbox today.

Lastly, Cronkite was right about that. The Ho Chi Minh Trail wasn't like an interstate highway. It was more like your circulatory system, with ever- smaller branches of "arteries" fanning out everywhere from the "heart" in North Vietnam through Laos and Cambodia to destinations in the South. Trust me, I know. And we never stopped them. Hurt them a lot, slowed down the deliveries, but never ever stopped them.

It’s been 35 yrs since I’ve heard that thx😪

Watched them at work on more than a few occasions , . Very impressive

The lady doth protest too much, methinks.


🧚🏽‍♀️

😂😂

You're correct regarding Flyboy Flem. He flew in support of another Campfire member, EvilTwin, one night. There is a great thread on that from years ago.

Lol, tater head gets his head handed ta him, again, by slummy.

tater, maybe ya better stick ta deducin rocket ID from craters.

No, that won't work.

Maybe try analyzin the Constitution as it applies ta bump stocks.

No, that won't work.

Ya could try hittin the vitals of a elk, steada the antler or guts.

No, that won't work.

Your special purpose could be predictin whether Russia can take cities in cuckraine?

No, that won't work.

pears your only actual talent is gettin other qwertys ta follow ya around on threads.

Jonboi must be puffn peter this evenin 🥴😂

It’s about a magic dragon named Puff. It says so right in the title.

Always thought Puff was not the right name. Should’a been Burrrrrrrt.

🤣🤣🤣

Or Burrrnnnnt

As for the HCM Trail, there were places where most wouldn’t think you could drive a truck, yet the next morning after a rain there would be multiple deep tire tracks from heavy loaded trucks. And detecting tank or truck movements on unattended ground sensors was an immediate call for an arc light strike or a gunship run.

^ killer of Puff for little Jackie Paper.
