YAY!!!!

Shit... Larsen AND Adams? The world is a much dimmer, less jolly place today. I shall be raising a glass in both their honor later this evensong. And the song shall be a lament. I'm thinking "Adaggio for strings" by Samuel Barber. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=izQsgE0L450 Did a vocal ver...

Did someone shine the Bat Signal?

After my time as well, of course. Except that I have three rug rats, and all of them LOVED the series. I can do a pretty good Doofenschmirtz impression, as well!

Spoiler alert: A grieving mother and father whose son succumbed to football related injuries got in touch with a rather powerful and twisted wizard who had his own axe to grind against everyday American society in general. He had previously been approached by some soccer executives in a different c...

Good for them.

Not the Cowboys....

American Gridiron football in its entirety.

Wonder who that could be ???????

Uh? The occasion has been judged proper for asserting, as a principle in which the rights and interests of the United States are involved, that the American continents, by the free and independent condition which they have assumed and maintain, are henceforth not to be considered as subjects for fu...

This is truly a sadness for me. I grew up with Dilbert and found it hilarious. Once I got into the work force and realized how little of it was parody and how much of it was just documentation I was... disturbed. He's always been the kind of guy who says what he thinks and didn't care what the media...

A belated merry christmas to all. Hosted my mom for christmas dinner and after her departure, went over to the inlaws for dessert and presents.

A good time was had by all.

I hope the same applies to all of you.

How the hell did they get THAT approved for use on an aircraft? Do the airliner standards not apply to military aircraft? Don't they have standards of their own?

I'd like some of the chaps who do stuff with airplanes to chime in on this please.

Is this a UK or EU only system? I helped my mom order a bunch of crap recently and saw nothing unusual, nor did I experience any issues that were not directly related to me forgetting to change the payment from my card to my moms.

Imagine what the recoil would do to the flight characteristics of the helicopter!

I mean, I'm familiar with the AC-130, but this is taking things a bit too far!

Ok... Here's my take on the publicity shot.....


So the Klingon is holding hands with someone and has a smile on his face.

There is NO WAY he's not planning on pulling her arm off and beating the rest of them with it.

And here I thought that driving to Alaska from New Jersey (twice) was an adventure!

I used to volunteer to run the grill for my kid's Dojo's summer party. Then one year I had to work and was unable to participate. The next year, at least a dozen people came up to me and told me they were so happy I was back, because the meat the previous year had been almost inedible. Hotdogs, saus...

If I can't screw directly into a stud, I go with toggle bolts. Every time.

Pain in the ass to put in, but you never have to put them in more than once, assuming you do it right.

The Backfires aren't just a "Force in being." They fly strikes into Florida and the Southeast with standoff weapons like the AS-4 and AS-6, along with anti-shipping strikes. By the time of Brownsville, though? They've either been shot down, destroyed on the ground, or are grounded due to ...

In 1988? There were still SNAF Backfires in Cuba (stuck there after the liberation of Iceland), and also SNAF Su-24s. The threat was there. So the decision to scuttle would be an easy one. Just get her into some deep water so that any kind of salvage-even a theoretical one-would be out of the quest...

Anyone who has seen you run will attest that you'd be FAR behind!
