My husband's Reserve unit - 79th ArCom - managed to get the better of a detachment of the 82nd in a war games night attack. The CO had T-shirts printed with a skull and the slogan 'DEATH FROM BELOW'. I still have a couple of them, somewhere . . . .

NORTH RICHLAND HILLS---You could say a North Richland Hills woman 'used what she had on hand' to thwart a suspected burglary attempt.
Wednesday afternoon Paula Ollie heard noises at her house on Mapleleaf Drive. "Something just wasn't right. They weren't knocking. They didn't ring the doorbell and they were whispering," the 27-year-old woman recalled.
Ollie reacted by gathering several pool balls and putting them in her son's bicycle helmet. "The balls looked like the most aerodynamic things I could get a hold of at the time," she said.
The woman then went out the back door, clinched the helmet strap in her teeth, climbed a tree and perched herself on top of the roof. "I hollered out 'death from above!' I'm not kidding. And no sooner than I said that, I started chunking pool balls at them."
Staring down at the two people she says were dressed in black, Ollie continued her aerial attack. "I just started throwing pool balls at 'em and they kinda started ducking and dodging and took off putting their hands over their heads," she said.

Awesome. The Rangers need to offer her a contract.
I love Texans.
“Death from above!” — great line in context.

Well, that took balls. ;)
This woman needs to stop watching cartoons and get herself to a gun range.
lol!
“Death from Above!!”
Good for her.
LOL. God Bless her.
And those Jehovah’s Witnesses will never be back again!
Haha! Good one
“Ollie said she grabbed the pool balls only after she couldn’t find her crossbow or pellet gun.”
I am seriously disappointed that she couldn’t find her crossbow.
Excellent! L0L
But I recommend a shotgun
Needs a good shotgun. Crooks instinctively fear the ‘clik-clak’ of a shotshell being chambered.
Friend of mine who was a local police officer used to recommend to the little old ladies who asked what gun they should get to get a pump shotgun -- "you don't even need any ammo. Just rack it, and if you don't hear breaking glass and beating feet there was never anybody there in the first place."

Bet she'll know right where they are from now on - and good luck to any future burglars
Wow...
