Thou ar't too kind! My .30 M1 carbine has three of those properly stapled: 1 down, two up for the full ninety with muzzle flash cone; serious yet still timely support for the poor fellow with AK or MP4; and all the parts(ejector springs) are readily available at any gun show. The cone is actually highly collectable and repros are available at BIG 5. In dense brush(wicker) against feral porcines(considered a pest here), with a .357 Python for close work, the duo of choice. Wear firehose trousers good antitusk protection in case of nerve failure or an overly cunning brute. BBQ with marmalade/ginger glaze and serve with East India Pale Ale...or Hamm's:up:.

Update by the BBC five minutes ago and still way behind the outcome:

This will be a good time for debate and discussion on car control. :hmmm:

I see your bet, and raise you one. I vote we turn this into a thread of Northern Aggression.

In before Jackson's foot cavalry can move.

McClellean balks.

I bet the have the hydraulic ram powered barriers.They sit at ground level but a button gets pressed and it flys upwards it can lift tractor trailers even hell they are designed to stop one going 70 MPH cold fully raised or while deploying.

In Germany a guard at the gate tripped the rapid deploy button by accident a German cab driver had the bad luck that his car was passing over top the barrier well it flipped the car and the guy was hurt badly.Bet that guy got a nice settlement from the US government now he owns the cab company I bet.Wonder what German expletive he used while in flight..... Fahrzeug defekt ist, was zum Teufel bin ich dabei wie Johnny Knoxville?

I wonder if that MP secretly thought "Great Success" when he saw that cab flip.That was before Borat though.

it was reported that shots were fired at the capital building today but it turns out it was just a big misunderstanding as nancy pelosi had just farted and the panic that ensued after it was falsely reported as gunfire.

That's 'Stonewall's Foot Cavalry', you irreverent northernphyle:arrgh!:

Did any of the shots hit a congressman?:yeah:

:haha::haha::haha:

Really all you need to know in Germany are 3 things
1) Never make an "O" shape with you finger and thumbs unless you wish to tell that person to that they are an ..............
2) Never bring a German woman white flowers.
3) Never recite the lyrics of German heavy metal songs to Germans until you know what the words mean

Ok. Women don't have any.:O:

Never been there. What's the symbology? A marriage proposal? Or something deeply insulting?

It pays not to lose control of your vehicle in DC. They'll shoot you dead for it.:-?

White flowers traditionally symbolize death in Germany.So a woman might see them as a symbol of disinterest or desire to end a relationship.Our SNCO he gave some white flowers to his future wife's parents luckily they just laughed about it.


I think it may be specific to German and Polish Catholics.


Anyway depending on various factors most types white flowers might get you an innocent laugh or a vase smacked upon your head.:doh:

Kind of funny how in one culture something can be offensive but not in another.

That is interesting. I would have never associated white flowers, or anything white for that matter, with death. But yeah, i've been around enough to know about odd social quirks; I've just never been to Europe. Always PACAF or SOUTHCOM.

I heard that there are some interesting cultural differences in Korea.


You might have missed by edit I think the white flower bit is more specific to German and Polish Catholics.

Already seeing people complain because there was a kid in the car and the police opened fire.



Hello! Public safety do these people want a person whose intent is unknown just running around endangering everyone else?The driver ran over cops thus using her car as a deadly weapon and not to mention endangering the kid in the car anyway.In this case you have no choice but to be as careful as possible and aim with care so that the kid and who knows how many other people get hurt by the actions of the suspect.Sure you do not want to hurt innocent people but you also do not want to cause an innocent person to get harmed by inaction.

I mean sometimes cops do have to use deadly force for a very legitimate reason.

Yeah, there are, but it's been awhile so it's not all fresh in the noggen. Some stuff I probably did so reguarly it doesn't even register anymore. Aside from things related to body or verbal language, the only specific example i can give you off the top of my head is soap. I have only heard this, because I was never invited over to someones house, but I have heard that if your ever invited over to someones home, bring some detergent or soap that makes a lot of bubbles. Bubbles being associated with happy things or something like that.

Oh yeah, i just remembered something else. Never saw it myself, but I have heard from female Airman that used Korean public toilets that Korean women toss all the TP into a corner for some reason rather then flush it. Kinda disgusting, but from a country that has open sewage ditch's (aka Binjo ditch), hardly surprising.

They also don't have toilets like ours, They don't sit, they squat. Floor commodes. I've seen (and used) those first hand. I've heard they're actually fairly common in many parts of the world, but I can't say for sure.

As an aside, if you were to ask me about central/south American people, i can't tell you much except that it's very third world, buddy of mine was propositioned for his boots, kids "mow the lawn" around their huts with machete's, and most people seem like their of mayan decent. Also humid. Think steam oven. Not fun.

:hmm2: Honestly I'd rather squat or "hover" than sit down to uh expel solid waste on a public commode and the need would be very very high for me to even do that.I recon it is cleaner but aiming might be an issue.

This thread is a real gymnast.

When I give dead flowers to The Frau, I always get her white roses. White roses are a symbol of purity. I like it more then the cliche red roses.
