OT Isn't there a promotional drawing for "How I stopped worrying and
learned to love the bomb" that shows someone's stretched out over the
nosecone of missile, arms and leg wide apart, struggling to hold on.

That's the image I keep thinking of Kaddafi is speaking to a crowd
inside a big tent, and a Tomahawk missile comes right though an
opening in the far side of the tent and he sees it cming straight at
him. At the last moment he spreads his arms and grabs on.

Does this sound possible?

That would be Slim Pickens.

I saw "Dr. Strangelove" at the enlisted men's theater at a Strategic Air
Command base at Roswell, New Mexico. I was about 17 years old, about 1965,
and a guest of the son of a Lt. Colonel we were visiting. At the time, SAC
had a fleet of B-52's in the air at all times, and exactly the scenario of
Dr. Strangelove. It took me many generations to comprehend the moment in
history I was present for. Two years later, I saw an SR-71 close enough to
touch, and, again, did not understand that I was present at a historic
moment.

I'd love to see the nose cam on a missile going into a Khadafi personal
party.

If you ever get a chance to listen to an early Cheech and Chong comedy
album, they have a bit they do about Kamikaze pilots being given a pep
talk by their general who tells them what he wants them to do to the
enemy. I can imagine the dolphins having the same sort of reaction. :-)

Cheech and Chong comedy routine in which the World War II commander of a
Japanese kamikaze squadron briefly reviews the day's battle plan for his
troops.

"Today," he exhorts, "you will take your kamikaze airplane high into the
sky, over the Yankee aircraft carrier, then take the kamikaze plane
down, crashing on the deck, killing yourself and all aboard. Before we
have the ceremonial sake toast, are there any questions?"

A hand rises tentatively in the back of the crowd: "Honorable
general-san: Are you out of your ****ing mind?"

He deserves at least one Hellfire missile hand delivered for all those

Weapons

The B-1B is no longer armed with nuclear weapons but is capable of
carrying the AGM-86B air launch cruise missile (ALCM) and the AGM-69
short-range attack missile.

http://www.airforce-technology.com/projects/b-1b/

Cruise missiles can be categorized by size, speed (subsonic or
supersonic), and range, and whether launched from land, air, surface
ship, or submarine. Often versions of the same missile are produced
for different launch platforms; sometimes air- and submarine-launched
versions are a little lighter and smaller than land- and ship-launched
versions.

(From your favorite source Wiki)

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cruise_missile#Categories

The tomahawk missile is ship or submarine launched, develpoement the

The AGM misssile is launched by stratofortress bombers.

Too bad more people carrying arms don't express similar sentiments
today, in the real world. If the powers that be, from POTUS on down,
knew their orders had to pass the common-sense sniff test, perhaps they
would be more cautious in the orders they gave. One of many reasons I
don't think anyone under 25 or so should be allowed to volunteer for
combat duty. Kids are just too damn gullible and think they are immortal.

Well, it's just about the same here. You don't need to be in EVERY

There are many anecdotes about the movie. One was that Slim Pickins
confessed to Stanley Kubrick that he didn't think he could do the job. He'd
never done a comedy before. Kubrick told him not to worry, that he didn't
WANT Pickins to do comedy. "Just play it straight," Kubrick said. "It'll
come out fine."

It did.

AHR is dying for lack of ON TOPIC...... ww



Should be a button someplace in your newsreader to unsuscribe.

someplace. ^_^

Too bad more people carrying arms don't express similar sentiments
today, in the real world. *If the powers that be, from POTUS on down,

That's exactly why they are recruited. They are pre-conditioned by
Hollywood **** ready for induction to the the US armed force's world
battles to support Israel, capitalism and your arms racketeers.

Boeing knows about as much regarding what the Air Force does when it takes

The airforce maintains and flies aircraft. Stop.

No-one is alloweds to change/modify the smallest item on an aircraft
of any sort without extensive calculation and testing.
Not even a screw.

Oh yea, I remember the electrodes the nuns attached to me during the
brain washing sessions when I was a small boy to condition me to be a
robot slave dedicated to protecting Israel. Darned if it wasn't exactly
like what I saw years later in the Hollywood movie "A Clockwork Orange".
People could not believe it because no one listened to us children so
it must have been erased from the minds of most people with amnesia rays
from evil government satellites that orbited Earth at the behest
of The Jews who control the world.

True, there's some of that immorality thinking. But have you ever met a
60-year old (retired) Marine?

The ONLY difference between him and a 19-year old fresh from boot camp is
that the elder Marine just moves a little slower.

Soldiers today, are, in the main, our warrior class. They sign up, aware of
the risks of death or disability, for the opportunity to kill people and
blow things up. It's what they train for. It's what they were born for. They
do it for their country's sake, for honor's sake, for glory's sake.

Silly person. Do you think the military is going to turn over the intimate
and secret details of a weapons system to a civilian company. Further,
Boeing is about as interested in the plane's payload as it is in the brand
of coffee the crew takes aboard in non-certified Thermos bottles.

Surely you don't think the Air Force is worried that the WARRANTY on a B-1
Bomber might get, like, VOIDED, if Boeing detects an unauthorized
modification?

I'm sure the Air Force itself has modification protocols, but I was merely
pointing out the absurdity of your statement that Boeing is a perfect
authority on the weapons systems of the planes. It isn't.

Take heart. Someday the preverts will have to answer to. . . the Coca-Cola

I saw that movie again on tv the other day. Still a fine movie, IMO.

There are many anecdotes about the movie. One was that Slim Pickins
confessed to Stanley Kubrick that he didn't think he could do the job. He'd
never done a comedy before. Kubrick told him not to worry, that he didn't
WANT Pickins to do comedy. "Just play it straight," Kubrick said. "It'll
come out fine."

It did.


Yup. It was funny watching some of those actors struggle to not bust
out laughing at some of Peter Sellers antics. I hope they never re-
make that one. Especially after the crappy job Steve Martin did on the
re-make of the Pink Panther.

I read it was expensive to make movies with him because he was so funny
the cast and crew kept breaking up and they had to reshoot the scene.
It was certainly a well cast movie; one of the best movies ever, in my
opinion.

Yep. Last year I bought a cheap wheelchair off of Craigslist. I already had
a black suit, glasses, and gloves.

My plan was to have my son roll me to the front of my local
congress-critters town hall meeting on the then-pending health care
legislation. At a crucial point, I was to stagger to my feet, scream "MEIN
FURHER! I CAN VALK!", then give the nazi salute.

I envisioned an unforgettable YouTube moment.

Didn't work. My Democrat congress-cretin didn't hold any town hall meetings.

Oh, get it through your idiot skull, already, harry- the government does
NOT control Hollywood. Hollywood merely makes whatever dreck they think
people will pay to see. There's been many a time when the PTB in DC went
on the warpath against Hollywood.

NO 19-year old is aware of their own mortality. They don't have the life
experience to make an informed decision to put themselves at risk. And
recent studies seem to prove the long empirical evidence that
teenager-hood lasts until the mid-20s, when the brain is finished
developing. It has only in recent years that society has been rich
enough, and the lifespan long enough, for the 18-25 year old set to
finish growing up physically and neurologically before they started
having to make a living and cranking out babies. (Remember, mother
nature values reproduction above long lifespan. Crank out the babies,
and count on enough village Nanas being around to raise the orphans, but
keep the birthrate up.)

Humans are merely gene's way of reproducing.
