This is the coolest dead thread ever.

Bloody William: I brought a 12-pack of Bass to my friend's July 4th barbecue. He took all the Bud and Miller Lights out of the fridge to make room for it.

I am Newcastle Brown fan currently. My roommates won't touch it, opting for coors light. I am a "freaky beer" fan according to them, which is fine for me........

Sgt Otter: Jackson goes on to call for the impeachment of President Obama -- "There, I said it" -- then does a handstand on stage that she dedicates to the men and women of the U.S. military.

I didn't think it was possible to come up with a more empty gesture than a yellow ribbon sticker on your car, but she managed to find a way.

Sargent, you are my new favoritest person. I've been saying that about the god-damned yellow sticker for years. Nice to hear it from one of the Armed Services.

Manic_Repressive: globalwarmingpraiser: I want your opinion. Definately had good replies. (new window)

Real farkin' funny asshole. I expect links from 4chan to run scripts, but not from Fark. DIAF dickhead.

I'm sorry, I when I put a WOT, I usually blog on that subjext already so I link to it. Forgive me.

Dumle: Sgt Otter:

We had the new, factory-armored (as opposed to the bolt-on aftermarket armor) M1151 Armored Humvees, and they still got thrashed by IEDs.

I'm only posting these photos because everybody walked away with a few minor bruises.

/Gunner was lucky he had his turret rotated to the side.

I can't even begin to understand what it's like to go out and having to deal with IEDs...

Not aspiring for an armchair expert title or anything, but it seems the troop compartment took the blast pretty good after all? So it seems to work as designed (?), a smashed humwee is a small price if the passengers walks away? If you had that kind of armor all over the engine as well, how heavy wouldn' that be.

It went off too early. You see that long metal pole with the black box on the end of it in the first photo? It sticks out a few meters in front of the truck, and it can set of IEDs with a certain triggering system early.



This is what a direct hit looks like.

Nail the doors and windows shut and torch the building. Problem with TEA parties solved. Whiny white people.

In late, but wanted to say thanks for the great stories. Pretty interesting stuff.
