Oops.... errant bats set the barracks on fire!

I'd heard just a tiny bit about this but I didn't know they could do any real damage. Bummer about the barracks.

[SAMWolf]

Seems we're busier than ever, between the store and other things going on in our lives, we hardly get to spend any time at FR and the Foxhole. :-(

Busy is good sometimes though, just a lot going on right now that needs either my attention, Snippy's attention or both of us together. Feels like we're being pulled in at least 5 different directions at once. I may have to see if I can buy some extra hours each day. Got some you want to sell? I can offer top penny. ;-)

[SAMWolf]

I keep telling the wife that I want to be there so I can be sure I have the right kind of coupling for the grease gun

LOL! Morning coffee and a lube?

[SAMWolf]

It's really amazing, some of the "Secret Weapons" that all the sides were looking into during the war. Some actually came about and worked, some lead to other inventions.

[Darksheare]

Alfa's gonna have ot sneak in some special coffee along with the grease gun.
Honestly, he's lucky!
She has a sense of humor!
Me, I'd get strung up for cracking jokes about 'cyborg knees' and 'six million dollar woman' while playing the theme.
I'd be toast, or worse.

So the coffee would be a peace offering on my part.
But considering some have a rather dark view on my coffee, they would think I was being horrible.
;-)


So, if I brought some of my coffee into a hosopital, how long do you think it would take for me to be detained and or ejected from the building?
];-)

[SAMWolf]

They'd probably have the HazMat team out before you got through the front doors. :-)

[Darksheare]

LOL, probably!
End up getting told "Face down! On the ground! Hands on your head! Don't listen to me, listen to my partner! No, this is not RENO 911!"
(I always run across the jokers..)

The night shift might like it??? Or should I notify the local Haz-Mat team???

[Darksheare]

Ahhh.. Gotta bring it in when the third shift is on.
Bribe them with extreme liquid "stay awake".

Islamofascists skipped the bat and pigeon phase and went directly to women and children.

History Channel again presenting story of A-12/SR-71. Confirmed with former chief scientist of AF today it's no longer available.

Karl Rove has strapped a microphone to Chuck Schumer and released him into Senate Judiciary; children cry, women scream, men make rude remarks.

The bat bomb story was shown recently and a principal reported haphazard handling sabotaged tests and demonstrations.

Ultimately journalists with big "flash bulb" bombs woke up the bats who then burned down the barracks. Journalists, it is to laugh.

Some believe nile virus is a present of Carter's good buddy Castro in appreciation for past gifts of exploding cigars and depilatory sucker punches.

Ultimately the Japs were beat by creatures smaller than bats or pigeons, crammed into critical mass with high explosives, producing overpressures greater than those caused by a Barbara Boxer rant.

This pigeon bomb flew 35 missions.

Evening Phil Dragoo

BAT slung under Consolidated PB4Y-2B Privateer

[Soaring Feather]

Good evening, Phil, LOL. You are so funny. That picture of Chuckie Schummer is hilarious. What a dope that guy is.

[snippy_about_it]

(((Hugs)))

[PhilDragoo]

First smart bomb--a great country or what.

[snippy_about_it]

It's been hot and dry here.

[PhilDragoo]

Schmuckie may have caught something from She Who Must Be Oyveyyed--and should be placed under observation.

Meanwhile Iran's mullahs have the pedal to the metal to build nuclear bombs for a nuclear 911.

New York security alert for people with clenched fists, patting their clothing, wearing heavy cologne--

You can't make this stuff up: An alert in New York but the senior senator prepares more have-you-stopped-beating-your-wife questions--

Winds of War: these are the quiet times. . . .

[snippy_about_it]

Strange dude indeed. I study a little of Skinner in my Psych 101 class.

Good to see ya darlin'. :-)

[Soaring Feather]

Those two (cough) Senators, Chuckie and Hildabeast just turn me green. I can not stand either of them.

Absolute jokes both of them, however, she is scary. Very scary.

[snippy_about_it]

Don't tell PE but you're doing a fine job with the F-O-G's while he's gone.

[snippy_about_it]

Hey radu!
