"If the midwest is the liver, NY, DC, and LA are out of control tumors."

Actually, they would be better described as oozing puss filled genital warts infecting anything they come in contact with.

DUDE.

Shows how much I pay attention to movies. Guess I am off to the video store.

Well now I gotta rent them both. Is the Jesse James flick out on DVD yet?

Just don't let Him out of your sight around the wimmen.......

I had a friend who ran premix in his 4-stroke quad to quiet the valves, but I haven't heard anything like that with cars. Any luck with Google? He swore it made a difference in the amount of racket his top end made.

Hooray for Teamwork!

Good point about procurement. And yes, the barrels are too damn short. I can't recall where I read that 18" is the minimum for maximizing velocity with the 5.56 nato.

It's not paranoia if they are really after you.

That looks like a grain shovel, someone failed prop school. And let me say for the record, I never wanted to be a pair of jeans before seeing this video.

I believe the modular design of the SCAR, enabling mission specific modification, combined with 90% parts commonality between models offers a huge advantage over current weapon systems. If it doesn't melt like the XM-8, jam like the M-4 or otherwise present itself as a big bundle of FAIL, start equipping the guys on the sharp end of the spear and work your way back to the support troops. Surplus out the M16/M4 rifles modified to semi auto to help pay for the changeover. Not that it would ever happen, but it makes for a nice day dream. Interesting page of info on the SCAR L/H.........

I think I like the one they are playing on the radio a little better. Not to say this one is bad, it almost makes up for "Enter Sandman". Almost.

And don't forget the napalm sprayer for when they get past the incline limits on the turrets. Little furry banzai bastards could possibly get inside the targeting perimeter and would need to be removed from the hull. Most effective way I can think of(other than electrifying the hull) would be a multi-directional napalm dispenser. When in doubt, "Kill it with Fire".

It's not so much the Ewoks, it's the frakking trees they throw at you. About two minutes in, prime example.

"Kill it with fire!"

George, you need to put a weapons grade nasal beverage spray alert on comments of that nature. I'll be cackling about that for a week. I think it would make an excellent motto for the Forum.

Found the Beta testing tape........

I am always reminded of this incident when c-130's are brought up. Metal fatigue and airframe stress combined with gravity are never a good combination.

Hope this works.....

Have you got your scope mounting system figured already? Don't skimp or the money you spend on a scope will be for nothing if it changes zero every other shot. M1A scope mounts run the gambit from unobtainium to complete shite, be sure of what you end up buying. Try shooting it with iron sights too, you might even like it. I have made hits out to 500 yards with the stock sights. (Thanks to Fred and the Appleseed program for the instruction!)

That can't be any worse than the stacks of mags,manuals,accessories and ammo I have for guns I don't own yet.

Appleseed was pretty cool. The Ghost in the Shell series would definitely be worth checking out, if for no other reason than the massive amounts of gratuitous gun pr0n in the later episodes. I have the first season on dvd, and plan on picking up the second when it is available. It makes for some pretty good story telling with all the little intricate subplots intertwined with the story. Good stuff. Of course, copious amounts of appropriately applied violence always make for a good time too.

What is your take on the Ghost in the Shell movies and resulting tv series "Stand Alone Complex"?

You can't go wrong having a copy of "The Encyclopedia of Country Living" by Carla Emery. It is currently on its ninth printing.
