  1. Sorry Doug, that page was unreadable when I tried to access but I do remember memoirs mentioning the employment. Nevertheless, the fact it was used doesn't make it a good idea, see the recent photos of those Philipino APCs with wooden extra armour.
  2. This is going from bad to worse. I opened a watermelon today and the stones were playing scrabble and forming words all by themselves, such as "hi whitey", "racist" and others of the same ilk. The watermelon was delicious and the stones were great for annoying the cat!
  3. Was that the same Maria as in West Side Story?
  4. I remember that subject being discussed in the past in The Grate Sight, and opinion was that it is not the best option if it was a practice at all. Veering a it to one side is a pretty idea in theory for adding some degrees slope to your front armour but in practice if you don't know the exact whereabouts of the Disloyal opposition you run the risk of decreasing the slope angle of your paper thin side armour offering more flank surface as a target. Lie zig-zagging, good if you're caught on the zig, bad if you're on the zag. Better to leave this to the confines of Sven Hassel memorialism. Gosh, it was decades since I wrote this name the last time
  5. It took me a while but I finally traced this quote to an address to the Audubon Society by Lady Bird Johnson in March '64.
  6. Yes it is, a kind of a mix of the old and new, the old fart is holding his mobile! The first photo in Jason's #3 is very good too, all skinny kids taken from their first job, no Fat Nazi Syndromes! Yes, I do like it very much this spirit of remembering and honouring the Great Old Ones.
  7. But as the leadership of the CPC (Capitalist Party of China) is atheist how can they christen anything?
  8. Pipe down, crackerboy, I live closer to Africa than you do. That is, if that means anything, otherwise I am prepared to say the opposite
  9. Aha! Fookin' Jooz cannot into Nazi Maskirovka!
  10. That would be good, but in fact more like Moby Dick, with emphasis on the Dick.
  11. Mention of a Russian ship named Kiev sounds somewhat awkward nowadays.
  12. Any threadjack is per definition a good threadjack. A threadjack involving beer will point you the way to heaven!
  13. That was too many voters! Why don't you do the simple thing and restore the Electoral College with a strict number of Kurfuersten as in the good old days? Easy, much less people to buy off! Free vote, you say? But of course, you could set up popular assemblies to ratify the Kurfurst vote and they would then cast their votes as the Prince had told them, otherwise the Lansquenets have those big and heavy swords!
  14. One hell of a big fat bacon eatin' duck! This duck would feature in the remake of Run Silent Run Deep as the Milk Cow U-Boat that sez they went thataway
  15. Police a threat to the public here? In the past yes but that changed a lot in the last couple of decades.
  16. Holy shit! I'm very much hard of hearing myself but I'm not blind! If I saw a lot of rotating blue lights close by and a loot of blue uniforms looking in my direction I'd be very still where I was and dropping whatever I had in my hands while trying to make others understand I'm deaf as a roof tile!
  17. Actors playing for an audience.
  18. Fooking Gringos and their gas guzzling SUVs were already screwing the environment and killing all the wolly mammoths in the Sahara! Same for the Spinosausrus Aegypticus found in, well… Egypt. This Spinosausrus thing got its name from a guy named Espinoza who chopped all the agave plants to make moonshine vodka. And I don't know about the Russians, something killed all the mammoths buried in the permafrost, most likely all those Future-Americans racing across Siberia to jump to Alaska. Racing causes environment warming, therefore q.e.d. the funny part was some of them had bad brakes and only managed to stop at the Tierra del Fuego! Takeaway fact: when the fault is not Trump's then it must be Bush's.

    Aa2 is bad? Shit, it's past 20y since we last rated that high and I believe it was a typo!
  20. www.car-luxury-agency.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2013/09/DS-Général-DG1.jpg ---ETA--- Damn, I'm on this Android tablet and I can't recall what the image code is! Sorry!
  21. I'm sure the pupils were deeply traumatized.
  22. Beats ignorance every time except when it doesn't.
