That is Priceless by Steve Melcher for March 25, 2021

Franz was the anti-helmeter of his platoon.

Damn, that’s some wind!

Germany’s 48th Infantry dabbing

The battle for the last donut at the craft table.

The Germans taking a knee before the start of the big match against the British

Tryouts for the Austrian Olympic limbo team were brutal.

Actually, all of the Austrian pools were frozen over, so the swim team had to simulate their workouts.

The Stormtrooper leader silently cursed, and grudgingly admired, Yoda for choosing a planet with four times the gravitational pull as the Empire’s home planet for the upcoming battle. The green Jedi would undoubtedly be floating on the Force while his men could barely stand up.

Spring breakers trying to practice social distancing at Miami Beach…

ach, fritz, how kannst du practice der shneaking mitout dein helmet…?

Blue Meanies in training for a game with the Apple Bonkers. That scene was nowhere, man!

Brutalist art?

Germans deploying a gas attack.

“Nobody move, I dropped my contact lens.”

First glance: ‘What are all of those dogs in the field running from?’

Second glance: ‘Oh. Oh!’ 8^0

Just weird – perfect for regular readers of That is Priceless

Everybody sing: “♩Oh when the krauts, come marching in…oh when the krauts come marching in…I want to be in that number, when the krauts come marching in!”

Germans preparing to execute the daring “Moon over the Western Front” maneuver. Advance, about face, bend, Drop trou"

Everybody’s doing a brand new dance now, come on baby do the………

In the next war, they decided goose-stepping might bring better luck than a lunge march.

We must have skipped this position in yoga class.

Ish, oh Ish…wherefore art thou, Ish?

The German sergeant then yelled, “on 3 yank your pants down, it’s called mooning, the French will never expect it and will surrender”

It’s difficult to march while staying under the waist-high machine gun fire.

ahh the ‘good old days’ of manly warfare

By the light of the silver moon/and hopeful of victory soon/ the Regiment/ into no man’s land went/ .. and returned as a ragged Platoon.

“That contact lens is around here somewhere.”

With cat-like tread, upon our prey we steal……..

With all the steel being devote to the war effort, plowing had become a bitch.

With catlike tread upon our prey we steal/ but rising sun our presence will reveal/ and wires concealed will detonate their mines/ and send us reeling back to our own lines…

Are you sure this is how the Brits play cricket? Something doesn’t seem quite right.

“I’ve got the Potato Masher, men. Now it’s up to you to find those potatoes!”

In Escher’s early work, he always messed up one figure.

In case there’s the slightest doubt/ as to what this painting’s about/ the looks on the faces/ quite swiftly erases/ any question that this is a rout.

The Colonel ( so it is said)/ with courage incredible led !/ The medal he’ll wear/ will be handled with care/ by his children. The Colonel is dead.

This season’s crop of Germans is coming along nicely.

Germany had the right idea, solders plowing and fighting at same time, good old meth.

You put your right foot in, you put your right foot out …

… and there is always somebody who does it wrong.

The day Gunther’s platoon flunked flank. :>)

Forget all this killing, lets have a dance-off!
