Pure speculation, but do you think the bombings were a home brew terrorist group? With it being the last day for taxes, and Boston having been the historic site of the tea party fighting over taxation without representation? Last I heard on the news there hadn't been anything new, if things have changed forgive my ignorance.

Is the dog wearing a black bandana, or does she have a black ring around her collar? The coloring there looks a little different to me.

Probably some Tea-bagger or other pissed-off individual I'd speculate. Hell Reagan's speech-writer, Pat Buchanan is calling for "Civil Unrest"- Should put his ass in Gitmo for inciting Terrorism as far as I'm concerned. Poison letters, all kinds of amateur gak going on today. We're either nearing another enlightenment, or another Dark age.
Bean is wearing her new harness, better for walking her, if she darts onto the road at the last minute, you can pick her up by it if necessary without hurting her little neck.

Harnesses are always better for smaller animals.

Yeah, if no one has stepped forward and claiming their group did it, they are very gutless.

It is one thing to protest as that actually is American Patriotism. faceless bombings is cowardice

Then there is the gun debate, which I think is just a diversion to piss EVERYONE off on both sides while they turn us into a Nation of Rich Aristocrats and poor peasants without even a fight.

Yep, and there is a crazy bit of info that European news has latched onto that has been kept out of our media., the Police transcripts mentioned 4 individuals sighted at these mass shootings 4 individuals who are never caught, always one doped out or dead patsy.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fireteam

Put this all together, and you get a bloodchilling pattern and agenda making in the works

Private Corporate Spec Ops??

Theory: Special Ops Fireteam willing to commit attacks on civilian population to help push the issues of "gun control" placing the blame on individuals, even when spotted and mentioned in Police radio transcripts, these fireteams are never arrested, just a corpse of "Suicide by Police fire" type taken with convenient note, or one so doped as to give no fight when taken in, and the one they said was the batman shooter did not match pics of the named individual, making more a case for the happy pills not keeping folks happy more than guns are bad, but the idea that anyone would commit to such an agenda to push via the very thing they claim is bad is insidious, and shows how inhuman the authors of such an act or acts actually is.

Personally, if caught, both the fireteam and the ones who commissioned these acts would be all riveted into little metal leaky boxes and dropped in the Marianas trench

Now when moving to here I did see a Apache hovering over and aimed down the Highway which I felt a bit odd. And the black helicopters only come out at night don't you know? the white vans in day, black vans at night. Filter your water!!

You should check the conspiracy theories about the Port Arthur massacre that happened here years ago, 30+ innocents hunted and killed face to face by one man! that was the tipping point for Aussie gun laws.


Aaaaaaand on a lighter note...... a feather!


hmmm Rivet is looking pretty chilled happy and adjusted! (I will continue to call her Rivet until ..... well... I just will o.k!) and the 1:1 fence looks the goods :-) also the rust weathering effect on the bumper of the Jeep looks almost as real as your models! speaking of, are you working on anything even with the distraction of a new child?

Nonononono, don't be distracted by the helicopters, look out for th......... (We now return you to your regular programming)

Haha, There are always conspiracy theorists

Ahh the Bumper..One of the sore spots I have from the Gentleman who first owned the Jeep and performed the "restoration" himself. But remember, this is Indiana, the climate here is not very kind to steel, but he must not have prepared it properly before painting it, it has bubbly rust spots here and there, just done poorly IMHO. However, he bought the Jeep new in 1986, and was the original owner, so he loved it well and made all the modifications himself.

No, no furless children are in our future, guaranteed

terrorism is gutless per se... bombing innocent can´t ever be called justified... killing a soldier in mid battle or putting down a dictator for being a ruthless animal is one thing... killing elder, kids and females... that is like shooting a dog...or cattle... it has no honor... never...

faceless bombings is cowardice

yup... that!

Well, messing with people from Boston is just a bad idea in general. Mix big, Irish Catholics with the techno-wizards from MIT...these people will wish the FBI catches them first

Seems like you guys are really having a sucky week over there so far. First that then the Texas thing and how I've heard about some flooding as well.

Big storm coming my way right now, tornado watches. Yeah, not the best week.

Their over us right now, front sidewalk is flooded. Last year drought, this year flood, next year nurgle of khorne. Well at least I haven't had to water the landscaping we did two weekends ago.

I have border bushes that soak up water like a sponge, so hopefully flooding won't be too much of a problem..hopefully.

I was outside raking earlier.I'm kind of glad I had an excuse to quit that mind-stimulating activity
Oh..check this out

Hope the brushes are not needed.

Well, it is cloudy here, so am expecting we will get some of that harsh weather.

That was well done! loved how they did that all.

Listen, of course there are conspiracies, and Mysterious mysteries of mysterious stuff, but they proved Chickenfoot was a hoax!

Theophony, I read the Mississippi is flooding near St. Louis after being quite low all winter?

Honestly I don't watch the news that much, but all the rivers I pass are really high. Our old house (still in the process of selling it) flooded a few weeks ago, sump pump went out. Still the buyers want it, just got to get to closing on it. This sale has been nothing but a horror story. Affton is part of St. Louis, but for us to flood it would take God going against his word of not using a flood again. I think my house is at an elevation where the arch would have to be underwater for us to flood.

eah, or the "BIG ONE" earthquake, that one is gonna tear gak up this way too.

loved that ford scene...! chewie was the best....i wasn´t the b**** that couldn´t keep his '*(/&(U in his pants...

he has no pants...

i rest my case....LOL...brilliant... at first i thought harrison ford would be able to take a joke...and then he came up with that... awesome guy!

LOL, and then the "see you in Hell" was perfect

yep... a good finishing line!


and mightily macabre to think these two former friends would now be fiends...

The guy dressed up as lea....."are you hungry?"

I was thinking "not anymore"

But agree the wookie was the best part.

Oh!..you'd like that wouldn't you!

Think you got it wrong there Dave, I was more of the retching persuasion than the .

Still it was a good sketch, but not as good as the old William shatner sketch at the comic convention. "Have you even kissed a girl?" And "that was obviously the evil Kirk from episode...." Classic

I know, I was quoting the first thing Hf said to Chewey

Yes, that old SNL skit was priceless

I'll have to rematch it, my kids were going nuts while I watched, only heard parts. Just rewatched the snl sketch, just as good now, I knew guys like each of them, one had all the tech manuals and spoke Klingon fluently, just in case the future Trekkers came back to our timeline.
