[Gunning down of Giffords]

...But having said that, people trying to tie others directly to this happening is unjust and unhelpful. The kid is a clear lunatic....But Dems trying to claim Palin caused this to happen are only adding to craziness. If they want to help, they need to calm the fvck down because politicians trying to tar the other side as evil is the problem. That and obvious lunatics with guns.

For damn furhner, you make some good points.

[Stumps]

Safe travels.

[German use of captured French tanks.]

Same for pretty much anything "exotic".

Steve

'Exotic'?!?!? Like Boo Radley in a thong?

[Nato Vs. Warsaw Pact]

I am just testing the waters and asking if there is any interest in a combat mission/Theater of War type game with a cold war theme?

Does the Pope sh*t in the woods? Of course I am interested.

[Toys that you wonder about]

They are like lawn darts for the pool. Sweet!

[The Peng Challenge Thread Has Lunch and it's Dutch Treat]

[Solve the deficit]

Not an option here but tax revenue alone would be $382 billion, if equal to booze, in 2007....according to page provided. Not sure about the LE (law enforcement) savings, if any, because we still need X amount of police for dumbasses....and I don't see that segment shrinking.

Might be that tobacco would be a better number to compare?

[Solve the deficit]

Whoa, whoa, whoa. Easy there big fella. Those kinda thoughts could lead to in reduction in reliance on fossil fuels, increased education and quite possibly a better planet.

Who wants that?

[Solve the deficit]

Like this link?

Even in this exercise I found it hard to cut military...so I cut the Navy and Air force instead.

Seriously, I can't see how we can't solve the deficit issue. This took me all of about 10 minutes the first go through and less than 2 to go back and recreate. Granted there are unforeseen ramifications to all of these issues beyond the little blurb provided but that is the job of those jack-wagons in Washington to figure out.

Anyone crying poor and making 250k+ per year is not going to get a lot of sympathy from me.....until I am in that boat.

[Solve the deficit]

Can you?

[STEVE, Normandy/Market Garden Question]

Well it is guaranteed that we'll get some snowy terrain for the Bulge.

In an attempt to make a snarky comment, I googlesed snow globe eyeglasses....but they don't exist? Wha......? We need an engineer on this NOW! Then BFC could just ship said glasses with all that pesky coding. Problem solved.

[The Peng Challenge Thread Has Lunch and it's Dutch Treat]

'Dutch Treat' but no Sturmy?!?!?!?!? WTF???? This thread is broken.

[US$ 3.3Bn on campaign spending.]

What a waste.

[Food & Liberty]

Caught this on the Colbert Report. Bunch of stinking hippies. Shoulda tazed the lot of 'em. Look at the name...Rawesome Foods? WHA DA FOOK?!?!?!?

By the by, as Stalin's Organist points out, there are ways of doing this. This pack of mongrel did not do so.

[No AK-47?]

The Russian SKS is really beautiful with the dark deep rich finish to the wood, knife blade bayonet and the star on the receiver with CCCP engraved on the side just sets it apart.

That's the reason I bought one. Refinished the furniture but I have never fired it. That's the cheap-o Chinese is for.

I have to agree on the SKS over the AK (or what ever you call it). I have a Yugo Sporter (KBI) and I prefer my cheap SKS over it for accuracy.

[British Helo Pilots...]

Wow. Gotta love those Brits. Unflappable.

[No AK-47?]

And the SKS. Don't forget the SKS. Other than the trigger, firing pin/ block, and receiver layout....they are IDENTICAL!!!! Oh, wait....the stocks are different too. But they both shoot 7.62x39 therefore they must be the same...right?

[How is CM:SF regarded?]

Since we care only about the income to effort ratio, we don't really care about how many individuals are playing or not.

Steve

I just dropped $71 to have the latest CoD dropped on my door 2 days after release. Can't be bothered picking it up this time of year and all that. I would easily go the same for CM:N.....if it was available so let's work something out here.

[When we get back to the Eastern Front....]

...can we have these?

Please?

[How is CM:SF regarded?]

you are all tempting me to buy NATO now ..... just need to dig out that copy of SF ... could be anywhere by now

Send me a SASE and i will send you mine. Even got the mouse pad to boot.

That genre/ place/ time/ etc. didn't do it for me.

[Just when you thought you've seen it all....]

Great. Those things don't look like they could hold up to small arms fire, never mind a RPG.

[Who doesn't need gently used, surplus Czech military vehicles?]

As seen here.

Get that BDRM you've always wanted. Be the envy of your street....until your track vehicle destroys said street and all of your neighbors turn against you.

Also, please to be enjoying the copy on the ads.

[This is brilliant.]

Which leaves you somewhat exposed old chap.

Not since that unfortunate incident at the petting zoo but that was long ago and every one agreed it was an honest mistake although that goat never quite recovered his lust for life.

[This is brilliant.]

How can you say 'Funny, funny stuff!' and not get the 'Parp' reference? Did you lose your gentle readers and were just amused by the pretty colors? Did your caretaker read it and laughed so loud that you just assumed it was funny?

[Anyone have a red dot sight?]

Here on the Left Coast, we have various laws governing what you can, or can NOT, own. Mostly cosmetic and anything that holds more than 10 rounds of ammo with the capability of a detachable magazine. But, of course, the wily citizens of the People's Republic of Kalifornia have found ways to still own AKs, ARs and the like.

Sadly, one third of the guns I own can not be passed on to my child(ren) unless they live out of this state. Nevada is starting to look pretty good right about now.
