RE: #2980
DEATH BLOSSOM

Wasn’t someone talking about the “Death Blossom” here within the past few days using this very analogy?

https://thelaststarfighter.fandom.com/wiki/Death_Blossom

The “Death Blossom” is a protoype weapon system with which the new Gunstar, designated Gunstar One, is equipped.

The Death Blossom system had never been tested till Alex Rogan employed it when fighting the Kodan Armada.

Grig, who had installed the weapon and was also serving as Alex’s navigator, had concerns that the weapon could overload the system and blow up the ship. But fortunately, the weapon functioned properly when Alex employed it.

When so employed, the Death Blossom proved to deliver one massive volley of laser blasts at close range as the ship was propelled into a rapid spin in all directions.

death blossom
American military slang from the war in Iraq: the tendency of Iraqi security forces, in response to receiving a little fire from the enemy, to either run away or do the “death blossom,” spraying fire indiscriminately in all directions. Reported on Globalsecurity.org
Those policemen heard one gunshot and opened up a death blossom on the whole street.

“Death blossom” = dems’ last, flailing attempts to attack everything and everyone. Including themselves. Basically, emptying the magazine (fruitlessly) before they succumb and are exposed.

I think the Anons or "Q" looks at FR.

Were were talking about "Trump" in cards games based on drop # 2936
"At what stage in the game do you play the TRUMP card?"

I made a reference to a now obscure 1985 movie The Last Starfighter and Death Blossom

The ideal the ins to take the lead and take their minor cast offs until one can lead the rest of the way in the trump suit while forcing their winners onto the table in a losing cause.

zactley !
I said "run the table" but you are way more elegant.

I am reminded of the movie, "The Last StarFighter".
The enemy has him outnumbered and thinks they have him surrounded when he is actually waiting
until all his enemy is within a certain reach, then unleashes the "Death Blossom" and kills them all.

Here's to Operation Death Blossom...
