also, if that is part of the agreement rarely cashed in on, that just says alot for the efficiency of the army, not the job description.

yeah, a sable round has a core of spent uranium. if you looked at a tank that has been shot with one, it doesn't look too bad- from what i hear... it just punches a hole in the armor up front and two in the back (the exit) and the fire inside the tank creates a vacuum that sucks all matter inside through the little holes. it could really fuck up your whole day.

i got to fire one from a tank at the last gunnery- it was kind of a thank you for your hard work to the cooks. of course it was a training round- no uranium. but it was pretty cool. it's like a huge (almost 3 foot) bullet. and they handed it to me to carry over to the tank. they were like "don't drop it ok?" hahaha.

firing a tank is a really cool thing. you just look through the scope and find your target on the little pixelated screen, lock it in by squeezing your handles, and then a computer adjust your image for windage, and you pull the triggers. the whole front of the tank lifts off the ground! oh, and when they go to pull the round... the brass, or casing has evaporated.

iraqis don't even have a round that can penetrate our tanks from what i hear.

good god!! who are you hanging out with on the holidays? charlie trotter?
you guys are my heros.... fois gras rules. fresh or tinned?
anyway, you're holding out. i know you had wine with it. spare no details....

Christopher Moore is the funniest author ever. Check out his website chrismoore.com, it has excerpts from all his books. I saw him speak and the stories he tells about writting the books are funnier then the books themselves.

i live by downtown and skate the 4' spine in lincoln heights.
skatelab sounds cool, i've never been there.

i tried to quite coming here for a bit and get into real life... girlblue and i talked about it and she was like "where'd you go?" then when i came back, i saw everybody on my friends list had changed their names. i thought i'd been awol from here for a bit. tada! name change. i didn't really think about it since then. i don't really think it matters too much though.
also thought it would be interesting to see if people reacted to me differently on the boards!

First off your logic assumes that the families make no attempt to save for college at all, and just have 14,000 presented to them.That's way oversimplified. WE're talking 14,000 a year for 18 years.Money which can be invested and as a result increased. The initial transition would be difficult , which is why I like vouchers as a stepping tone.Either way, having that extra14, 000 is going to make it easier than not having it,Even if yo drop it to just 5,000 a year. I fo you had 5,000 a year to invest you would end up w/ a tidy sum by the time your child was ready for college. Finally the questio about slavery still exsisting. I would say that our constitution prohibits slavery, as slavery infringes on the rights of an individual, so that no slavey could not exist. A state wouldn't be able to over turn freedom of speech either.

"We built this city"?

I'm going to get you for that one....


he heh

yeah, i grew up in oxnard- yeah, i am in the army.
yeah, there are skinheads in oxnard (mostly hiding out in ventura actually or camarillo- though those days were probably different-) but most violence in the old days in oxnard was less racial and more localism. not that there's anything cool about that either especially since the violence that followed oxnard bands made it hard for them to book shows eventually.
anyway i do apreciate your comments man, i just still see very little in politics in old punk rock music- particularly american punk rock, except when executed by those "older guys" and "artsy guys" who kinda went over their fans heads till more recent times.
dangerous- yes, counter culture- yes. but political? only as much (and in any direction!!!) as any individual punk was.

Yea, I agree Mike v is getting a little freaky. Kind of like skateboardings Henry Rollins. I respect them both but I think they should have a drink or a smoke and mellow a little sometimes. I'm not against straight edge I just think it might help them to ease up a bit ...

I'm going to be posting more vintage skate shit as I've dug my mag collection out of the garage. I think the 90' Blender interview will be next.

I stumbled across it... If that makes you feel better!!
