Impressive. Most Impressive.

Cocaine is a helluva drug.

So good. I read the entire series. Loved the original cast, except for Gilbert.

Hey, bruddah- just to keep you squared away, the word I believe you're looking for is 'eluded' as in "eluded the scientific community for a century".

Yeah, when I was at Fort Benning and we went to the grenade range, the weight of it and knowledge of it's deadly power messed with me. My throw was pitiful; it went maybe 25 feet. I don't have a great throwing arm anyway.

It isn't a blue water combat ship? That's news to me, my good man. This platform is being counted as a major surface combatant in every list there is that touches on the subject. The LCS is being counted on to project 'presence' at the very least, to stand in for disappearing Perrys, Ticos and everything else that's…

The Sanxia Business Daily has since printed a retraction: it was not Dr. Dong, but rather a 'dong doctor'. But he was assisted by the attending, a Dr. Wang.

Excellent, a credible source. How do you feel about the new P-8 Poseidons, and their efficacy in taking over from the P-3? I know their loiter time isn't that great; when I pictured something taking over for Orions, I was hoping for an American version of a Tupolev TU-95 Bear. Big, fast when needed but with the range…

I'm in agreement with their NAO; Sweden is something like 1,500 miles top to bottom and yet, more people live in the greater Los Angeles area (where I'm from) than live there- Stockholm has the same population as Honolulu. Their entire active armed forces number about 60,000 personnel, which is roughly the number of…

Actually, I looove RTS games. Thank you, I will definitely look into that. I really dig the S-Tank; such a strange and specific design, like a modern Hetzer.

I guess I'm gonna be that guy. Sweden has one of the best militaries on the planet, bar none, and better balanced for their needs than the US military, which has 60+ pocket battleships (Arleigh Burke DDG) but forgot how to build a frigate for less than $600M. Their gear is accurate, tough and well-made (we use a lot…

How much did it cost to bore out the barrel of that Surefire? You could just get the AW 17670 protected instead; I've given chargers and those Li-ion rechargeables to my friends who use Surefires- they're not a proprietary size like the 18650s are. Also, who'd you go with for the XM-L drop in? I like Lighthound, but…

Taittinger Rosé is solid, and not cheap, come to that. Pretty dry, and sits on the tongue better than most of the brands that these idiot kids are so proudly displaying. I personally bring my own Maker's Mark to weddings so I can avoid champagne altogether, but I used to like it.

Since that number has to do with, uh, popular-cannot-do-this-to-me-kvetch-I'm-awesome-cops are-boring-and-suck-my-daughter-is-pretty-I-do-what-I-want-and-am-special-because-I

Nothing wrong with any part of this story. Even the wrapped up hand: the pain will remind her to use her first two knuckles as her striking knuckles. As to all you mouth breathers that are attacking her for her initiative, I'm driven to wonder: Why are you automatically solicitous of the cockbag who was talking his…
