What's All This Hub-Bub...

...about armored vehicles?

Neither eye nor ear protection! That's dangerous!

Who knew 55 gallons of Hi-Test Texaco had HE/armor-piercing properties?

And why does Kojak's .30 cal. sound like that?

Is it a groovy real-world custom one-off hand-fabricated suppressed Browning .30 caliber machine gun?

I dunno, but we're gonna need cats like Kojak if tanks and armored cars are on our streets.

Like that could ever happen...

Anyhoo...I seem to recall being taught something in boot camp about a Hell-Bomb, but damned if I can remember exactly what it was.

Where's my Guidebook For Marines?

I never throw anything away.

I know I have it here somewhere.

Getting old and forgetful is hell.

Shit.

Never mind.

I'm gonna take a nap.

Wolverines!

MISSION STATEMENT

This blog contains stories and graphics about auto racing, war, firearms, history, family, politics, the coming apocalypse, and whatever else might interest me.

Most of it I wrote or created. Some of it I didn't.

I try to approach my topics in a humorous and self-deprecating style, and I use coarse language sometimes.

Most of my thoughts here are tongue-in-cheek and satirical. Some are not. You'll figure it out.

Maybe.

I write and create for ME...to blow off steam, to get a laugh, or to get a point across, and I do it in my own demented way.

If you find my creations routine, dull, predictable, pedantic and pedestrian...I really don't give a fuck.

If it ain't your bag, that's cool. Don't read it or look at it. It's a free country.

For now.

Sorta.

Noah Webster

"Before a standing army can rule, the people must be disarmed; as they are in almost every kingdom in Europe. The supreme power in America cannot enforce unjust laws by the sword; because the whole body of the people are armed, and constitute a force superior to any band of regular troops that can be, on any pretense, raised in the United States. A military force, at the command of Congress, can execute no laws, but such as the people perceive to be just and constitutional; for they will possess the power, and jealousy will instantly inspire the inclination, to resist the execution of a law which appears to them unjust and oppressive."
