I love blonde jokes, especially the one about the white out on the computer screen, but since I am a blonde I do not remember how to tell it.

The Community Web Shots has started blocking the images from being posted using their url. When we access it through our browsers, then we can see it posted. Victoria and Susan used to store and post their images from Web Shots, but evidently they just started blocking them a few weeks ago.

Either one, Lynn -whichever way YOU want to do it! I noticed after I voted "for" tonk, that he still felt bad about having his photo there and you replaced it with Jim Rob's.

[Billie]

LOL! Hi, I'm Snow Billie.

[LBGA]

Another question about the lodge pic... you voted (along with Snow Bunny) on yesterday's thread to use the one with Tonkin in the frame. I had already given him another with JimRob's pic in it.

If I put Morgan in the pic with Tonkin's framed pic, he may never post it again, and I don't want to take away his fireplace by posting it myself after these additions are done. What to do????

[4TheFlag]

Beamer is lying at my feet and morgan is in my lap as we all watch the STEELERS come back...that's a GREAT pic SAM!

ha ha...you've gotta watch those old codgers!

[Billie]

I would honor Tonk's wishes. I understand how he feels - I don't necessarily agree with it, but I understand. I felt the same way when davidosborne did a whole thread about me.

[LBGA]

Okay, I'll add it to the one with Jim Rob. Tonkin did feel uncomfortable with his there, although everyone thought it should be. Whoever thought it should be as well, but voted with Tonkin because he was uncomfortable with it.It's his fireplace room so I guess we had better be nice to him. :-)

Cool Piece of Hardware:
The Bunker Buster

The Bunker Buster during concrete wall penetration testing. The wall is a 22 foot thick solid block of concrete simulating a high resistance bunker.

The GBU 28 "Bunker Buster" is a great demonstration of thinking "out of the box" and how the need to get it done can overcome the normal bureaucracy of weapons procurement. In January of 1991 US forces did not have a bomb in their arsenal that could penetrate Saddam Hussein's bunkers. In 17 days the combined efforts of Air Force Systems Command, Watervliet Arsenal in New York, Lockheed Aeronautical and Space Systems, and Texas Instruments produced the needed weapon.

Watervliet engineers used 8-inch surplus artillery tubes to create the bomb casing and matched the casing to a Texas Instruments' guidance package from a GBU 27. The team, thus, created a 4,700 laser guide bomb. Upon testing the bomb was shown to be able to penetrate 22ft of concrete and 100ft of earth. In fact during the sled test the bomb penetrated the 22ft of concrete and then continued on for 1/2 mile.

The first two bombs were delivered in theater on February 27, 1991. Since then, the US military has continued to improve the ordinance package.

Canteen Joke of The Day

=====================================================

Women’s quote of the day:

“Men are like fine wine. They start out like grapes, and it’s our job to stomp on them and keep them in the dark until they mature into something with which you’d like to have dinner.”

Men’s counter-quote of the day:

Women are like fine wine. They start out fresh, fruity, and intoxicating to the mind and then turn full-bodied with age until they go all sour and vinegary and they give you a headache.”
