It seems it's getting hard to find any hired help that speaks English now a days.

True.
Also makes voice over net internet games almost amusing.
Some of that may actually be English, but one can never be sure.

The dent in the armored belt is still visible

Now I get it. From the perspective of the picture from above it looked like the plane was headed for the gun pits, but it actually hit below in the armored belt. Lucky for those guys.

I played Panzer Elite online with Germans, Italians, Aussie, Brits, canadians and Americans from all over the US. We all spoke "English" but it was real interesting sometimes.

It hit just at the top of the armored belt. A couple of yards higher and it would have hit the gun mounts. Real lucky.

Is this the official flag of the bicyclespankentruppen?
Say, that's a great idea!
So moved. Up to Snippy to decide if the motion dies for lack of a second ;)


Down boys. No simply pretty faces in my spankentruppen. My troops need to know how to fight. I've got your ladies but they are resting right now. Sam spotted them and sent them our way.

Of course you are free to keep recruiting. ;-)

Good for you. Mine don't :)

And don't you think that a beautiful woman like that would have to know how to fight? I mean, she could probably beat me away with a stick or something ... ;)

I just got this, it's too good not to share...

"Dick Cheney raised six hundred thousand dollars at a Republican Party banquet in Milwaukee Friday. The all-time one-night record for one dinner is five hundred million dollars. That was the night John Kerry proposed to Teresa Heinz."

That would be one AWESOME site.

I get goosebumps watching the flyovers at the start of Nascar races.

To witness a flyover like that would probably give me a coronary. ;)

Oh they so totally screwed the op up that theydeserved it.
It was like, "Centurion, get them!"
I'd said notto take the squad down a certain path.
(path was rigged to go, they were supposed to flush the other guys down it.)
Wat does wingbolt do?
He takes the entire squad down the rigged path and finds that, gee, there's tripmines everywhere.
He SO deserved it.
