Who wants a picture of a Bren Gun with tripod?

I went to the Canadian Military Museum in the Halifax Citadel, and guess what they had on display?? A Bren Gun repleat with tri-pod!!! Pics to follow. Welcome back my errant former squire, stikkypixie , I hope you had a wonderful trip back to your homeland.

Greetings, once again from Portland Maine. It is a fine morning as we slowly make our way into the harbor. I am looking forward to the breakfast buffet, but trying to fight your way through hordes of hungry senior citizens is more dangerous than a short walk along the DMZ. (or so I remember), I have already been wounded by several canes, a walker, and a couple of wheelchairs. Enough of that however, cause soon enough, I'll be in the same boat no doubt. (no pun intended) Glad to see you are all still twits and morons, and really have nothing interesting or funny to say. Did I say I hate the San Diego Chargers? I hate the San Diego Chargers... oh, and Noba as well.

So many positions, so little time, eh Nidan? Don't know about everybody else, but that was not a picture I needed in my head. </font>

It's a place I have always aspired to be, rather than being ABOVE contempt so to speak. So NOW, because Boo cries like a little school girl, you take it upon yourself to scold ME!!! You're in a soft mood because its YOUR Birthday!!! and his Anniversary....it is YOU who are beneath contempt Justicar if you allow your personal feelings to cloud your sacred judgement!!!! Happy Birthday, BTW...you toothless twit!

Me and Joe , are just like this!!!!...hmmmmm, maybe like this!!, no that's not it. Me and the Justicar are just like THIS!!!. You get the picture....I am a favored son...there is no doubt about that.

He did say he was eating sauerkraut.

Steve, on a similar LOS note, will vehicles, such as tanks or APCs block the LOS to a unit hiding behind them?

Dear Lady Moraine If you would like a quit meter go here

You do realize that if you get hit by a bus tomorrow, you can't just nip down to the bank and make a withdrawal, don't you? </font>

Actually less than a week...its all done by computer.....I have been quit for 4 Months, 3 Weeks, 2 Days, 2 hours and 27 minutes (145 days). I have saved $1,451.01 by not smoking 5,804 cigarettes. I have saved 2 Weeks, 6 Days, 3 hours and 40 minutes of my life. My Quit Date: 3/31/2005 5:09 AM...see!!!

I have been quit for 4 Months, 3 Weeks, 2 Days, 1 hour and 58 minutes (145 days). I have saved $1,450.81 by not smoking 5,803 cigarettes. I have saved 2 Weeks, 6 Days, 3 hours and 35 minutes of my life. My Quit Date: 3/31/2005 5:09 AM... I did it all for you ladies and germs.

Was this a self imposed exile, or have you finally gotten some semblance of a life that would occupy your time?

OSGF sorry to hear about the loss of your friend, my sympathies.

dalem , so sorry to hear about Sten . What pals they become...we miss them so much when they are gone.

Nay, a capital idea...I suggest we send Boo Radley over there to arrange everything. As moronic as most of the wafflers are, along with Boos unique brand of stupidity..it should take them months to figure it out. By then we won't care about it anymore.

I have heard that astronomers intend to name the new planet "Polyp", because it is on the other side of Uranus.

Consider yourself a lucky ass Yeknod . the less you know about Ohio...the more fortunate you are.

Can anyone answer this question????? Why are news people so stupid???? Is asking ridiculous questions and creating totally inane speculations part of their jobs? Are they trained to be that way? Seanachai alter junge, please answer me.

Clearly you have the intellect of a piss ant, although I feel bad about insulting such hard working insects by using such a comparison. If you had read my post...you could see that I was refering to a time period in the past , words such as last night or time references such as 7PM should have been clues for you that this event I was describing had happened in the past . Are people capable of telling time where you are from, does the constant drizzle cause rifts in the space time continuum in Seattle? Or are you so completely dense that no light or cognitive thought can escape from you? Your assignment for the weekend is to try and re coup your lost brain cells, and also to learn what happens when the big hand is on the little hand.

Dear Idjit...please give me the location of said pilot light on an electric stove...I would be happy to use that. I don't have a seperate hot water heater, and if I did it would also be electric since there is no gas available in my area. Don't you owe me a set up, twit?

Get a gas stove for your flame and cook food, a cooler for your tasty beverages. The brain is what seperates us... </font>

You go through life, living in a country where the standard of living is fairly high and you develop a kind of mind set that says.."I am a 21st Century man...I have a nice home, a family, good health...lots of gadgets...friends, a good job, etc. Sure we are now living in dangerous times....some guy I don't know, who is pissed off at the world, even though he doesnt know why, could blow me up on a bus some morning as I am on my to work. Even though the odds of that are pretty slim, one still thinks about it, but I still have my high standard of living...two cars, a 42 inch plasma TV set, a roof over my head...I don't live in a Third World place, where my biggest concern is how am I going to feed my children, or survive the next rainy season....I am a modern American man. One Thunderstorm comes rolling over my area last night about 7PM. The weatherman said that they could be severe, with high winds and heavy down pours of rain. I watch the weather report, and you can graphically see all the reds and yellows and other bright colors that represent storm activity on the radar display....another benefit of a high tech society...you always know what the weather is going to be...every minute of the day...if you care to look it up. So here I am, one minute watching the graphic presentation of a thunderstorm, and then in the next minute, the storm arrives over my house. It gets quite dark for 7PM, the wind picks up....it starts to rain..there is lightening and thunder...then darkness...the TV blinks off, all motors from air conditioning, refrigerators and water coolers stop. All digital clocks go dark....those CM turns I was planning to play are just a dim memory now....I have been thrust back to the primordial existence of my ancestors, I am without electricity. My wife is still at work...so I have trouble finding candles, forget a flashlight...I cant find matches, when I quit smoking I threw them all away, along with my zippo lighter which was always by my side. So now I am in the dark, and I can't make fire...I am lost....I am no longer 21st Century Man, I am now just another primate with no clear advantage over the rest of the creatures of my neighborhood. I open windows because it has become stifling hot in the house without the AC....I can now hear sounds coming from outside....voices, dogs barking, birds chirping...the faint rattles of thunder as the storm continues moving eastward. I am not alone, there are others in the same boat I am...it gives me small comfort as I sit alone in my kitchen, watching the flickering flame of a candle....how the hell did the human race advance without electrons?

How could you notice? </font>

Two packs or more a day...depending on the day...I think it was nicotine psychosis that first led me here......
