Polish 40mm

Yes it has returned from the graves of those frozen battlefields of Scandinavia. Its waiting for you and saying "I dont really have any recoil, come on touch my 7.4 pounds per square inch trigger...."

Bigger Bang

Above is a B-61 Gravity Fall Nuclear Weapon in various stages of assembly. It is configured to be dropped from the B-1B Lancer, B-2 Spirit and F-16C Falcon platforms. A new model was updated in 1997 and kicks more ass than I ever want to know about. There are currently 750 Model B61-7 weapons in the U.S.A.F. stockpile. The mission-specific 1,200-pound B61-11 "bunker buster" replaces the B53, a 8,900-pound, nine-megaton bomb that was developed as a "city buster" and was later designated as a substitute for an earth-penetrating weapon.

The B53 was deliverable only by vulnerable B-52s; in contrast, the smaller and lighter B61-11 can be delivered by the stealthier B-2A bomber, or even by F-16C fighters. The B53 was the highest-yield weapon in the U.S. arsenal. Although not a true earth-penetrating weapon, it was believed capable of taking out underground targets through brute force. When fuzed for a ground burst, a small percentage of its energy would be transmitted through ground and rock to buried installations. Even a small percentage of nine megatons is a lot of destructive power. In contrast, the B61-11 offers a variable range of yields, the highest of which is only a fraction of the B53's. But because it can pierce deeply into the earth, "ground coupling" its energy output to efficiently produce a shock wave, the B61-11 is more efficient at destroying heavily fortified underground structures, enabling it to threaten the same deep targets as the B53.

Meanwhile, the B61-11's lower yields enhance its credibility as a deterrent. The B53 was too big and too "dirty" to use. Its use would have caused a massive amount of collateral damage above ground. The new B61-7, from which the B61-11 is made, has a selectable yield ranging from 0.3 to about 340 kilotons. It was first placed in service in 1985, and super-modified in 1997. (The original B61 entered the stockpile in 1968.) The B61-7 can be fuzed for air or surface bursts, and has a hardened ground-penetrator nose system with a retarded contact-burst fuzing option. It can be dropped with or without a parachute, making it deployable from B-1B, B-2 Spirit or F-16C aircraft. Delivery would be made from aircraft traveling at near supersonic speeds to avoid heat and shock effects. It is assumed that F-16C Falcon pilots would be able to start afterburners and accelerate far enough away from the impact site to survive the detonation of the weapon despite their small size.

And you know darshs like this are just bound to get their hands on them sooner or later...

Tis the Season ( Beta Verison )

....trying to get my holiday job with UPS (cus they pay well!). Just wanted to know what you people think.

Tis' the Season
when all through the land
people get packages
in North County lands

Its not Poway
or even Carmal Mountain
it has a rich little church
with a beautiful fountain

I speak of RB
I can taste the night
of delivering packages
with furious flight

Onward steadfast driver
we haven't a moment to linger
these packages must go
we drop them off with the ringer

All have been delivered
all packages gone there way
we sit back and wonder
what will come the next day

I hate tech support...

Not the wonderful woman named Dana from Lincoln, Nebraska on the other end of the line easing me through the most basic tasks of hooking up my DSL. No the hatred that I speak of is when I call Microsoft to bitch about needing the Microsoft CD (which I don't have because I have a pirated copy of Windows) to install drivers for my NIC. Now if I have the have-disk with all the mother-fucking drivers on IT, why the fuck do I need the damn Windows disk. This shit pisses me off. But that's not the point I'm trying to get to. The thing that REALLY pissed me off is that the "Tech" I "spoke" to couldn't speak English to save his life. Now before everyone asks "do you have a problem with people in another country trying to make a living by taking AMERICAN jobs?" I want to say FUCK YES! I want my Tech Support done here in America by Americans. And for that matter I want my McDonald's served by Americans (I know its a shitty job but that's what High Schoolers are for) not Mexicans. That makes me think of a funny story. Right before I left from Colorado my mom asked if I was racist, I said "No, the older I get the less people I like". But low and behold the world will not change to see things my way I fear, so I say to you bothers and sisters of America, BUY AMERICAN MADE!!!!

I'm Sailing Awayyyyyyyyy!!!!

If Styx said it, it's gospel. I find myself on the tiller sitting astern of my family’s boat. I haven’t seen such a beautiful day on the water since 4^th of July ’02. These are just some of the pics of the summer that was......

Doesn't deserve a title

Damn, she looks like trailer trash shit....hahhaahahhahahaah
