Short, concise and funny. Made me lolful!
)
I second that. Brilliant!
The shortest are the best. All you other stupid lolcaptioners who attach long ass lame captions, make this a lesson.
I enjoy the variety, me. But long asses aren’t my favourite, so yeah, captions about them are probably lame.
I’m not a fan of anonymasses myself.
An essay (and a caption) should be like a woman’s skirt: Long enough to cover the topic, but short enough to be interesting.
I like the way you think…
Actually, you like the way I parrot a good professor…
For that which we are about to film, we are truly grateful. :^)
Reminds me of the Ender’s Shadow series, Shadow of the Giant iirc. Where the Indian rebel movement was started by villagers ‘blocking’ the roads like this. Wasn’t effective, it just sent a message.
Message being: “You aren’t getting back into this village until you meet our demands. We want hookers, some hash brownies, some Skittles, and milk. Or we will insult you once again.”
And some more E and ginger too please.
“Elsewhere, a rogue group of wanton females have been raiding ginger farms all over. Police still baffled to motive.”
Wonton females?
Only in Asia.
In bed.
I only wanton(e) female myself. That should leave enough for the rest of you.
Really? What soup with you?
Miso horny.
I hope you find good fortune, cookie.
Nothing like a good food pun thread for hours of chow fun.
Dim be sum good times all right.
I eggroll with you wholeheartedly.
Tsao chicken are you, in General?
Chow mein-y roads must lo mein walk down
before you call it lo mein?
I’ll take the cream of sum yung guy
Oh, I shit you guys not, there is someone walking around out there named “Wing Wong”
You, waxing philosophical, in song, no less?
I’m going to have to take your tempura-ture…
The other day I went to buy some fertilizer,
only to find they had run out.
Soy says to the moo-goo gai, Pan,
“Get me some fried rice!” (or less.)
I hope the Pu Pu is well composted, or it will turn hot and sour.
If you knew Sushi like I know Sushi…
in a bed…of noodles.
WIN
I’m gonna add a bottle of whiskey and some decaf cola to the list
Yeah don’t want to get all hepped up on caffeine before you get all slowed down on liquor.
Yeah the caf does weird things to me, shakes and lumpy boobs I am not a fan of.
Mmmm hash brownies…
seconded.
“turn back, or I shall taunt you a second time!!”
/agree
That’s EXACTLY what I was thinking! Orson Scott Card writes GREAT books, and it was a powerful message =]
Nice someone on here has a good reference!
Good job these guys are too dusky looking to be an American troop, I don’t think I could face another thread full of caps-lock outrage
Oh that’s just battalion 5.
Not up for them unleashing the fury? Me either.
Those are odd looking weapons…
Definately not the M4 Carbine or the M-16…highly doubt those are our troops.
Its the AUG.
Fugliest thing EVER
Obviously not our troops since we stopped segregating our soldiers over 40 years ago.
The Steyr AUG is quite simply the most advanced assault rifle you’ve never heard of. It’s older than you’d think and it *still* looks like it dropped off the alien mothership.
It’s a cousin of Lee Harvey Oswald’s gun… and quite the piece of engineering.
Looks like the A1… possibly the A2. Hard to eliminate the 9mm variant, since the magazine is hidden. I favour the A1
*passes Unc the A1 Steak Sauce*
That’s funny…I thought you would go for the Worchestershire…
I’m an HP man actually…
I’d a have thought that gun fetishist like you would be all over this… >:¬>
Fetishist? That would be my dad. I just have the one .38
One more gun than I have. I somewhat lost the taste for them.
I just have it for things that go bump in the night. I’ve lost more cats that way…
You’re quite knowledgeable about guns, at least of the modern automatic ilk. I used to have several handguns, but they were all older. One of them was a British Pepperbox. Are you familiar?
Not really… I know it was one of the last common flintlocks. WW2 ans after
Was it functional?
That should read WW2 and after is more my area
Although things like Winchesters have a fascination…
IF your dad is a gun fetishist… Click behing my name for Messers Purdeyy’s gun stuff.
The quintessential English hunting iron… with sordid ‘pink’ shots of the innards.
Some of the guns are works of art…
The parts moved, but I never developed an interest in learning to load a flintlock. I’ve never killed anything with a gun, so bird shootsguns aren’t my Earl Grey.
Though I don’t own any, I’m fond of the older Winchesters, especially the prettier ones (gaudy case coloring, engraving, fancy sights, etc.). The good ol’ Colt Single Action Army is fun, especially with pearl or ivory grips. I hate Bisleys, though. Something about the curve on the upper part of the grip pisses me off, and they’re a b!tch to take apart.
Oh I know the Steyr AUG now that you said the name, just didn’t recognize it from that angle. It was in a few video games back in the late 90s.
I’m only accustomed to seeing it down the gunsights rendered in crummy last-gen graphics.
It makes me think of Starship Troopers…it’s THAT cheesy looking…
It’s a pretty nice piece of kit. Jams and misfires less than the equivalent US or UK kit. It’s the sort of thing you can drop in a muddy puddle, reverse a Land Rover over, stick it in a bucket of water over night and it’ll still empty the clip without killing the operator.
It may be dumb looking, but it’s reliable. From a field maintenance pov, I’d stick with the AK or Uzi in production guns. I’m afraid my heart belongs to the Sten… reliable at medium range and you can fix it from tractor parts. No other combat weapon is easier to keep going, even though it lacks the finesse and technological reliability of modern guns.
The Australian army have been playing around with Steyr products for quite some time now, and sodiers I drink with seem to be well-pleased – certainly a good cut above the old M-16. They look like someone ripped them from the console of an arcade game, and initially there was some “urg – plastic gun” noises… but they’re well-liked, takes adverse conditions in its stride and has good hitting power. Only criticism seems to be that field-strip / clean is a little more like cranial surgery; don’t wanna lose fiddly parts.
The M-16/M-177 do have the benefit of being quite easy going to strip and clean.
Yep. Not US – while I don’t know the age of the photo, we haven’t been wearing that uniform for the past couple years for the most part.
Definitely odd looking weapons.
*screams*
“Look out! They’ve got ROCKS!!”
From the Evil Overlord list: “I will keep a special cache of low-tech weapons and train my troops in their use. That way — even if the heroes manage to neutralize my power generator and/or render the standard-issue energy weapons useless — my troops will not be overrun by a handful of savages armed with spears and rocks.”

That’s what your comment reminded me of.
I LOVE the Evil Overlord!! Isn’t there also one about, “I will keep the boiling lava pit covered when not in use, and put a proper walkway over it, instead of a rope bridge”?
One of the best links I ever got from one of Seth’s posts.
Can we create a Seth Fan Club? Seriously! I don’t agree with him as far as I can throw him usually, and since I’m a weenie I can’t throw very far, but I LUVS me some Seth!
I think it would embarrass the tar out of him.
*evil grin* Let’s do it.
-
No, but seriously, I love Seth. If he were on my school’s academic team, we’d pwn everyone.
Kuro, how do you set up a fan club on Facebook? I see a Seth Lovers club on the way *evil laugh*
Yes. Yes it would. (realizes this would just encourage such silliness) I mean, NO, I’d LOVE that…
Too Late!!
*tackle hugs*
What can I say, the PK regulars bring out the best in me. Seriously, I’ve been posting in forums since the early 80s, and I haven’t found a single place on the Internet more welcoming, more intellectually stimulating, or just plain fun. Ilove you guys, no joke.
Few posters get an “Oh-Goody-Goody” out of me. You ROCK!
I like PK because it allows everyone to be as silly or as serious as they care to be.
Great, now I am getting that odd feeling that I need to hug you. Must… resist… Must… remain… Bitter mote… of… bittery… bitterness…
Ah screw it. *hugs*
>_>
<_<
*dons shades and Neuralizes people into thinking Uncle Fester spiked their drinks and violated their social mores with a random bit of pastry*
Which is far more appropriate than having him randomly violate your pastry.
*hugs DWN, OMG, and violated pastry*
But… but I did do that…
Have a soggy biscuit…
Seth is the greatness…
I don’t do well in fan clubs. Something about my ego, it’s insufferable or something. I hear there’s an ointment or drink or pills or sex therapy treatment. I haven’t given it much thought but when I do, I am so there.
Trying to get me to follow the pack is like herding cats or knitting with fresh squid parts…
However, I confess, Seth is the most consistently readable and well thought out posters on this ship of fools, mountebanks, blackguard, braggarts, and floozies.
lol man why didn’t we think of this?
Well, those are FAMAS, or French Assult Rifles, and they are wearing the French camofloge. And they still think stone walls are applicable to modern military manuvers, so yup they must be French. Just hope that whoever they are fighting aren’t nearly as cleaver as the Germans and drive around it!
They do look like FAMAS. But it’s not just France that uses them, they’re also used by Chad, Kuwait, France, Senegal, Djibouti, Philippines and the United Arab Emirates.
Also, doesn’t have to be a fortification, might just be a checkpoint.
They look awefully tanned for french soldiers.
Thank you. I was convinced that no one else noticed.
Wrong. Those are Steyr Augs. Famas are black, and bulky, and ugly. Aug is win.
You are correct, sir.
the rifles look odd because they are a “bullpup” design where the firing mechanism is in the stock; it allows full length barrels in a shorter weapon.
fuzzybutt
As in the Doctor Watson ‘bullpup’?
“Mercenaries are useless” http://au.youtube.com/watch?v=-CZ06Lq_mUw&feature=related
Without Mercenaries the Italians would never have invented the Bonds market…
Worthwhile thought, that… incidentally, if anyone has been burned recently in the bonds market, you can blame Italians. And mercenaries.
Most things in modern finance you can blame on the Medicis, the Patriarch of Venice, the First Crusade, or the conversion of Italy from City State collection to country…
I like learning the more obscure lessons of history.
IF you want to know my real obejction to the Iraq war, look up ‘Operation Barbarossa’ sometime, then read ‘The Prince’
lol, Steyr AUG ftw!
when one comes across a row of rocks like that in Iraq, it is because there is an IED along that next stretch. The locals would go just out of sight of the bomb, and set that up to warn our troops about the trap.
Don’t know where that is (I don’t think the french are in Iraq. . . luckily for the Iraqis) but they did have a few troops in Ashcanistan and they are in some “Peacekeeper” forces elsewhere for the Useless Nations
