Crap Throwing Monkey

That movie sucked. I had low expectations for it...but they were still higher than watching the Kido Butai bomb modern American destroyers.

Yeah, there is that... An analogy worthy of Darin. And one thing no one ever seems to mention in regards to the military casualties is that they're running at an attrition rate of about 2-3% per annum...which by most measures is pretty damned good, actually.

Who is?

It's going to be fun to watch everyone scramble to pick up a new back for their fantasy teams, though...

Depends on what your definition of "science" is. It apparently varies from state to state.

Worse...powerful engines with very large props/rotors set widely apart. In case of engine failure, even a partial one, you've got bad asymmetric thrust problems and a very large torque issue that the flight controls can't overcome. Basically, resulting in some very fancy gyrations leading to an inadvertent intersection of flight path and terrain. I wonder how the beast is in unpowered flight. Probably glides like a brick.

Coming up next: the Kansas State Legislature legislates pi equal to 3.

As Denver proves damn near every year.

It only seems that way, I think. Strikes me as a nice blend of RTS-feel ("nice" in a marketing sense; I hate RTS games) and turn-based strategy play.

She made up for it in Wild Things, though...

And Bennie Anderson's a lock for the Hall of Fame, I suppose?

That's bull sh--, and I can prove it: if that list did exist, it would be a hell of a lot longer than 10,000.

I do. No, not that I've seen. Most of the "lefties" here (aside from the few "It's Bush's fault!" lunatics that can be safely discounted as lunatics) I've heard haven't been upset at the mention of ethnicity being a factor in the Paris riots. Just the French.

The capability of the V-22 has been needed by the Corps for a while (as evidenced by the copious number of CH-46s they're using in Iraq right now). The actual piece of equipment that is the V-22...well, that's still open to debate. The Osprey still has, and will continue to have unavoidably, technical issues that may make it ultimately unsuitable as a transport system. At least, that's according to the rotor-heads I've talked to...

Uhhh...with Starship Troopers?

Typical dumb blonde. Cows, deer, and horses do NOT all eat the same stuff.

Wife works with mortgage brokers on a daily basis; I know more than I care to, and she knows more than most mortgage brokers. Shoot me a PM...

Maybe they were all at the locker room door, hoping for a chance to play cornerback for the Pats...

That's just beautiful..."...certainly to blame on a certain level for aggravating a situation..." In other words, "We don't know how, but Bush Bad!"

And Defense News yesterday had an article on the Army's plans to acquire a four-rotor design to carry the FCS...to replace the C-130, even though the FCS spec no longer requires that air transportability. Yeah, that's going to work well. No asymmetrical thrust problems there, I'll bet. FCS is a program badly in need of cancellation.

Doesn't mean a damn thing, who starts at QB, until the fix the damned line.

Yeah, must be something about the initials.

Then what WERE you trying to do? Is there anyone who didn't learn that in second grade?

Really? Thanks for clearing that up.

Actually, I was thinking of Democrats.
