Please have mercy on us dial up limited FReepers! Limit the big graphics, post links instead. A brief description of what the graphic is would help:

To all who helped this get started, thank you! Special thanks to null and void for keeping these threads running on the weekends, Mo1 for the screamer, the AdminMods for their tolerance, mhking for the video links, and, of course,...

I am not knowledgeable on arresting cables, other than to know that if they snap they can and have cut sailors legs off and killed them, very dangerous job on deck..here are some nice pics and short explanation...

check the one pic of the jet hanging on the edge of the deck...looks like a good landing to me!

[Mo1]

WOW .. you really know your MRE's

[SoldiersGirl]

Isn't that one of the most dangerous jobs there is? I remember watching some show on discovery about those guys...

[texxie]

an excellent post and a great read

[AFPhys]

Sounds like the media is still getting disappointed at the popularity of the war --- CNN reports 72%, and that seems to be the lowest I've heard. They have to spend more time digging up civilian casualty stories, preferably with children.

[Centurion2000]

I've got a webpage with more info on MREs here

Got a link for your MRE links page .... www.cheaperthandirt.com

Really good prices on MREs and stuff.

[Mr.Crimson]

So is there going to be a grudge match between Gerry and Arnett or what?????

[Nam Vet]

"Oh gee whiz .... You prematurely ejected a thread before midnight ... and them mispelled it as well! "

Ya know why women don't blink during foreplay?

They don't have the time!

HAVANA — A man claiming to be armed with two grenades tried to hijack a passenger plane from Cuba's small Isle of Youth to the United States late Monday, but was forced to land in Havana because of insufficient fuel.

[Mo1]

I hope CNN tanks in their ratings .. I HATE CNN

[AFPhys]

I just woke up. Anyone care to give a quick rundown on what went on during Iraq night time?

[Fledermaus]

They are, Fox News is killing them.

[spectr17]

I thought I knew my MREs. That webpage came about after some research to learn more about the newer issue MREs. I was weened on C-Rats.

[blastbaby]

Well, Bagdad is still there, cars running around, Achmed might have a cold developing....next

[Armed Civilian]

How are you? Another day another bigger bomb dropped.The S&A campaign is really about to begin. By the way how's the jelly?

[spectr17]

Thanks for the link. I've got them listed elsewhere, just need to add them to MRE page.

[Mr.Crimson]

Its gelatinous....In bombs....Size does matter

[texxie]

lol I hope so

Gerry is still there and so is Peter the Mirror in London hired him after NBC, MSNBC and Nat'l Geo. fired him

can you believe that?

[AFPhys]

I hate CNN, too. It seems to be the only thing I can get reliably here at work, though, so I'll listen for y'all and report only the essentials.
