  1. Tell him he can go find the aisle for candy and load up on black licorice, nobody eats that shit. CHIEF
  2. Replacing 1000 of your personal staff after invading a sovereign nation under false pretenses is a bold move. It's like a triple dog dare, like he wants to be poisoned. CHIEF
  3. It's even scarier than we think. This is from 2017, and has warning at the end stating all of the technology already exists. FIVE YEARS ago. CHIEF
  4. Love ours. It's "cadillac'ed" out with gunracks, insulation, and a shooting table aka the buffet table. CHIEF
  5. Dyess AFB in Abilene, and Carswell/Lockheed plant in Ft. Worth would probably be 1b. and 1c. to Ft. Hood. Would probably be on the same warhead just different MIRVs. CHIEF
  6. Even better, it would probably be the truth. CHIEF
  7. Well its been there a few million years. Maybe we can get some Roquefort, Gorgonzola, and Stilton. A pasty, sharp, and germy blue is right up my alley. CHIEF
  8. We all know the moon is made of cheese. So if gravity pulls it to Earth, do we get delicious cheese? Or will it all become queso from the heat of reentry? I would hope for a bit of both. Get cheese from countries where the cheese fell at night, then, queso from the countries where it was daytime. CHIEF
  9. That's what I'm thinking as well. If Ukraine wins this, or eventually causes the Russians to abandon the campaign and go home. Putin will be neutered for the rest of his life. He will never live long enough to see war production ramped up enough to try this bullshit again. Russia will never again have international supply lines that will send military components. Their ability to wage conventional warfare will go the way of the dinosaur. He will be in power, but this will be the end of the saber rattling. CHIEF
  10. I've been thinking about this. Pretty much any Russian in a tank, APC, or fuel truck taking an RPG or Javelin is KIA. In an aircraft, getting hit by a Stinger, KIA. There has been very little infantry, which would tend to be wounded. The Russians don't really have the logistics to remove their dead, or injured. So the injured my end up KIA sitting right where they were WIA, and bled out. The number might only be 1.5x, or 2x, possibly. CHIEF
  11. Bronco Comfortably Numb (wish I liked Thunderstruck more). CHIEF
  12. If Russia objects over the MIGs being sent. The argument should be that humanitarian corridors are being attacked even though a ceasefire has been enacted. The MIGs have been sent to help enforce the ceasefires agreed upon by both parties. We are sure that Russian forces are acting on their own, and not under direction from Moscow. Surely their Superiors in Moscow would want these corridors "enforced" at "all costs" to prevent humanitarian catastrophes. The Ukrainians flying these aircraft have been instructed to only enforce humanitarian corridors, but we have no say in what missions are conducted, if any, between agreed upon ceasefires. CHIEF
  13. AB, I'll trade ya five $500 cats for your $2500 dog. CHIEF
  14. Sweet and Bread and Butter only, those Russian bastards aren't good enough for Dills. CHIEF
  15. It was from his first solo album Dream of the Blue Turtles. First time I heard it was sitting in front of a Four-plex I lived in, with my parents, after oil went from $30/bbl to $9/bbl in 1985. Powerful song, and pre-wall crumblin'. CHIEF
  16. Putin's only flawed belief was how willing the Ukrainian people were to fight to remain under Ukrainian rule, no matter how shitty or corrupt it was. The highly irrational political decisions have all come after that. He is a gambler. He tried to make a run to Kyiv and topple the government, and install his puppet regime, but did not have the logistics to get it done. Now, here we are. CHIEF
  17. When you are gonna go off the reservation, don't make up elaborate stories. LEO is always going to be skeptical. Would have been better just turning up at a psychiatric facility at the end of the three weeks and say she had a nervous breakdown. What a tangled web, and what not. CHIEF
  18. Embarrassing enough, my tractor is a Kubota, and my skid steer is a New Holland. My saving grace is my John Deere lawnmower. If a motorcycle can boost a 120mm mortar, I could too. Just give me a 45 minute headstart to get out of sight. CHIEF
  19. I used the 800kt model shown to be in the Russian arsenal. Using that, I am just far away from Lockhead in West Ft. Worth to not have any damage. If, for some reason, they hit Comanche Peak nuclear plant, It might blow my windows out. I guess putting in tempered glass on the side of the house that faces the golf course has other benefits. What was the least depressing thing I saw was the casualty counts. Only 3100 in West Ft. Worth and only 656 at Comanche Peak. I have a cousin that is a big wig at Comanche Peak, might go sit with him in the reactor building. I worked over there the summer after I graduated high school. The walls are 40 ft. thick and more rebar than concrete. If the plant was hit, it won't do anything to it. Being built in the 70's, having it hit with a nuke was a real possibility, so it was designed to withstand being hit. CHIEF
  20. So you don't have to order a Russian/Ukrainian bride by mail any longer, just drive down to Del Rio and pick you one out. CHIEF
  21. A buddy of mine that was a Vietnam vet, that drag raced. He would puff away in his tow vehicle till he was about two cars from the registration table, roll down the windows, and smoke would roll out like a Cheech and Chong movie. He never could figure out why his reaction time was so slow on his time slips, I always knew the reason. CHIEF
  22. Or Ray Charles. CHIEF
  23. No, no not really. I originally tied it to that, but the edit is reality. A crop duster would have many more hours. I would have to suck in my gut, and loose 30 lbs. to check my six. CHIEF
  24. Amen. Drink a half gallon of whiskey a week, smoke a cigar nightly. Last flight physical was 15 years ago, on BP meds, and statins. Single engine land (so F-16). VFR only, so minimal night time, and stay away from clouds. Got 300 hours flight time, what could go wrong? CHIEF
