Nice Navy flag-o-gram today, thanks PE.

[snippy_about_it]

So that's why I'm here at work.

Still feeling yucky? Drinks gallons of orange juice.

[snippy_about_it]

I like your observation Matt. Thanks for posting it.

Hiya, Snippy. Recruit any bicyclespankentruppen to work in your new store?

[colorado tanker]

LOL!

If God had intended man to be vegan, he never would have made the Ribeye steak taste soooo good.

Evening Grace Snip & Sam~

Happy Treadhead Tuesday.

The solution should have been a "heavy" tank, the P 26/40, which started to leave the production lines in 1943. But it was not heavy neither as far as weight was concerned (with 26 tons, it was a rather light medium tank), nor as to the armor, nor the armament.

I don't understand . . . the country that brought us pasta (and my love handles) can't make a heavy tank?!? ;^)

Evening everybody.

They had to modify existing tank chassis with captured guns.

I think the Marders came in a variety of flavors. Marder I were mainly French bodies (various captured French tanks) with German guns. Marder II were German PKW II with German guns or Russian guns.. Marder III were German PKW 38 with German guns or Russian guns.

So you could get German guns on captured bodies, captured guns on captured bodies, or captured guns on German bodies.

LOL. I would if they'd work for free. Now if I hired the kind PE recruits, Sam would never get any work done!

[snippy_about_it]

I don't understand..

Perhaps they should have let the cooks of Italy design a tank.

I'm not dead yet. /python

You say that like it's a bad thing.

[snippy_about_it]

LOL. I'm happy to hear that.

[snippy_about_it]

Good evening Victoria.

Over-reacher of The Week to Viktor Yanukovych for stealing the Ukraine election, then offering Viktor Yuschenko the prime minister post.

Satan offered Christ a similar proposition; in each case the key is in not accepting the premise.

After three steps forward it is time for Yanukovych to take four steps back--Aeroflot to Moscow, door, ass, "Empire Strikes Back" up to close.

Vukovich won Indy in 1953 and 1954. I saw his car after 1955.

Insert numerous wire stories of Vladimir Putin "toasting" Stalin. So let it be with Yanukovych, toast.

Men in black with hammers beating journalists to the contrary notwithstanding.

The chow on Thanksgiving was decent. The roast beef and pecan pie were especially good. They are still trying to feed us pumpkin pie.

One would think a turkey sandwich would be available the day after Thanksgiving. No such luck. But I did see a real loaf of bread this morning, so I guess the bread famine is over.

The Kandahar Diet is working for me. I've lost three sizes since I got here. By this time next year I will be as skinny as a Somali.

Because you're sick? :-)

Good to see you here.

Don't worry about the weight loss, it is normal. Just a shortage of beer.

Got down to under 30" waist myself in your shoes, long ago. REAL long ago!!!
