yep Garands, my bad ( dang small screens ) not MAS' anyone wearing a tutu, marching like that ( yes ha ha Pythons ) and fixed bayonet m1's mite ought to be left alone
Greek fighters had very little and fought hella tough in WW2
What does your enlightened peta perspective have to say about people who own teams of sled dogs left outside in the snow, tethered to a pole all winter?
so if you can make lightning strike where you need ... install a bigass battery right there - that can handle the 1.21 giggawatts and save it for later ?
Some old soldier said that you can tell how good an army is in combat by how they march... the more showy and extravagant, the last effective in combat.
#1 - I have a good buddy who was a US Marine at the Khe Sanh combat base in 1968. His bunker was at the end of the runway. Several times resupply planes would drop of their cargo like this C-130 is doing in the video. His bunker was demolished a few times when pallets of things like cans of orange juice slid into it going 50 MPH!!!
I was a Rifle Platoon Leader in the 82nd Airborne, a buddy was a Tank Platoon Leader (M551 Sheridans) in the 82nd's Tank Battalion. He said that they lost an average on one out of 5 every time they LAPSEd a tank.
I think it might be a wild peccary. my dogs would have most def killed it. 5 Heelers and 2 Filas, nothing lasts long near my house. Except the roadrunners/ground cuckoos,.. those fuckers turn on a dime. Funny to watch though. I always root for the road runner of course. Road Runner!,...7 dogs after you! Road Runner! If they catch you, you are through!
#5, We had a neighbor who owned a white colored German Shepard, that was like this dog. One time a farmer had a pig in his truck in our small town, and he went into a restaurant for lunch. The pig, a huge sow, got out of the truck somehow and wandered over to the German Shepard whose name was Caesar. Caesar tried to get to that pig at the end of his chain, like a crazy mad dog. The pig didn't care, and came close to the dog. Caesar went to the opposite end of his chain trying to get away from that pig! The two neighbor boys, who must have been 8 and 10 at the time, used to ride on Caesar and basically bother him to no end. But Caesar was actually a sweetheart, he would not hurt a fly. My twin brother and myself would go over and play with him quite often, since we played sandlot baseball right next to him. I do have to say that the woman in #7 looks like a sweetheart as well. With a sense of humor to boot. I wonder if she works at that dental office, and was messing with the dentist who was doing an exam on her.
(2 Had a tree fall on my truck while going down the road two years ago. Lucky it hit the top of the cab, half second sooner would have been right thru the windshield. Made a wading pool on top of the cab and shattered the back window. Jacked out the wading pool and replaced the window with a piece of plexiglass.
Gotta add my remark about the much-neglected #7: She’s awfully pretty, with a good smile and eyes. I could deal with seeing that mischievous smile directed up at me.
I know I am real late commenting on this. LAPES hes an Achilles heel. It depends on tying a knot in a reefing line on the small parachute that is dropped out first. The line keeps the chute too small to pull open the large extraction chutes. There is an electrically fired cutter on the line that allows the chute to open full size, pull out the large extraction chutes which finish pulling out the load. If this knot is not tied properly or comes undone for any reason the load will extract very early (like a quarter to a half mile short) and way too high for the load to hit the ground horizontally. Don't ask how I know. Long ago and far away I was a Loadmaster
#3--Dang! I need to read the blog earlier in the day. Too many people got in ahead of me. I was going to ask which Monty Python episode this clip came from.
Totally limp-wrist gay, but then they may be Greek soldiers, so...........
#3 are Evzones from the Greek Presidential Guard, and have similar duties and responsibilities to US Sentinels of the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier. They guard their Tomb of the Unknown Soldier. Their march is a VERY old tradition and each man is a highly trained soldier. You wouldn't want to call one gay to his face. (At least I wouldn't.)

Anyone that's chains up their dog is a fuckin piece of shit.
ReplyDeleteWhat does your enlightened peta perspective have to say about people who own teams of sled dogs left outside in the snow, tethered to a pole all winter?
DeleteEver had a dog run out into the street and get creamed by a car hauling ass ? A chain keeps that from happening. Dumb ass.
DeleteI've had dogs that would dig out of any pen unless it was on concrete in which case they would try until they bled.
DeleteEver wash off skunk at 10 30 pm when you were all ready for bed and have to get up at 500 am?
DeleteYou're a clownass.
Deletefairplayjeepguy
@Ruggles so does keeping the dog inside the house.
DeleteDon't mind me, I disagree; also, you're shitty at punctuation.
Delete--Tennessee Budd
So.... his handle is "don't mind me"... so.... don't mind him.
DeleteThe guys in #3 look like idiot clowns.
ReplyDelete#10: Rocket is trailing a wire.
ReplyDeleteIt is done in FLA ( or used to be ) dissipate storm energy, a few ft tall model rocket trailing a mini copper wire - launch and ZZZap
Deleteso if you can make lightning strike where you need ... install a bigass battery right there - that can handle the 1.21 giggawatts and save it for later ?
Deleteall of the lightning will fry the air nitrogen as a local area bonus - that is free sky fertilizer kiddos, also the vaporized copper wire -
Deleteso you are out the price of the Estes model rocket
#3 Paging Monty Python.

ReplyDeleteLooks like an M551 Sheridan, so probably from the ‘80s.
Delete4). Looks like heaven.
ReplyDelete7 looks like heaven. if it rhymes it must be true
DeleteThose steps have a meaning in #3 there's a you tube video that explains it, they are guards of the tomb of the unknown soldier
ReplyDeleteSome old soldier said that you can tell how good an army is in combat by how they march... the more showy and extravagant, the last effective in combat.
ReplyDeletethat thousand yard stare they called it in WWII - those troops saw the worst
DeleteWW
Even odds on Wiley E. Coyote riding on that rocket that got hit by lightening!

ReplyDelete#5, my Blue Heeler would have killed the piglet in a heart beat

ReplyDeleteNobody's commented on 7?

ReplyDelete#2: Buy a lottery ticket. Right now.
ReplyDelete#3: Damn, leave some pussy for the rest of us.
#7: I think I've seen this movie.
