I just caught this over Brady’s Facebook:

Clifton McCree and Mark Barton were both spree killers, one in Florida and the other in Georgia and apparently Mike Summit worked in both locations. According to his LinkedIn & Facebook profile, Mike now lives & works in San Diego and I am not planning on dropping by anytime soon just in case.

Dude is seriously jinxed.

I suggest investing in aluminum, I have the feeling a heavy amount of it will be used in the next year by the headgear industry.

The latest hissy fit from the Laddittes.

I pretty much doubt that the Glock used in the attack has left evidence control. But hilarity ensues nonetheless:

What can I say? Birds of a feather…..

I’ve been watching an old Sci Fi show from 1970 called UFO which I was an absolutely and dedicated fan of. One thing led to another and the Missus and I ended up going through memory lane revisiting TV shows from the 60s that we liked. I realized that some items that I wouldn’t mind owning can be tracked to those damn TV shows.

The Man From Uncle Pistol Carbine was a modified & modular Walther P-38. Mr. Solo would carry it in its shortened version but when a longer shot was needed, he would produce the stock, extended barre, High Cap mag and scope out of thin air and assemble it.

McHale’s Navy is the only thing that would make me get in the ocean but only in a PT Boat. And of course, it has to be fully armed.

Daktari’s Land Rover seemd to be able to deal with any terrain in any condition. It got me interested in Off-Roading which I did for many years and until my back complained. But I still want one.

I did mention I did Off Road and here is the other culprit: Rat Patrol. A fully desert-decked WWII Jeep is in the eternal wish list.  Also I have a spot reserved for the Kubelwagen but only if it follows the original Afrika Korps specs.

OK, so I am old…. but not too much 🙂

…the first thing that came to mind was this:

And both gave me chills.

These guys give Standing Behind Your Product a new meaning. Click here for article & video.

“It was the Dawn of the Third Age of Mankind, ten years after the Earth-Minbari War. The Babylon Project was a dream given form. Its goal: to prevent another war by creating a place where humans and aliens could work out their differences peacefully. It’s a port of call, home away from home for diplomats, hustlers, entrepreneurs and wanderers. Humans and aliens wrapped in two million, five hundred thousand tons of spinning metal .. all alone in the night. It can be a dangerous place, but it’s our last, best hope for peace. This is the story of the last of the Babylon stations. The year is 2258. The name of the place is Babylon 5.”

Babylon 5, Season One Intro.

“Summoned, I come. In Valen’s name I take the place that has been prepared for me. I’m Grey. I stand between the candle and the star. We are Grey. We stand between the darkness .. and the light.”
-Delenn in Grey Council in Babylon 5:”Babylon Squared”

If you wonder why, it is just because no matter what the Firefly freaks say, B5 will always be the best. 😛
