    Bladerunner was actually set in Seattle

    Constant grey and drizzle in the winter. Which brings to mind London 2008, Rutger Hauer and "Split Second". I liked Seattle, if I couldn't live here I'd live there. Reet, I will accept bribes to ensure that never happens. :D

    The Adventurer's Gear Thread

    I wonder how many years of calf-denting lacing my (field) combat boots that way would have saved? I'll have to try it.

    Vocabulary Today

    How'd that work out for Kennedy's brain trust? University degrees are not a guarantee of anything, individually monitoring performance and rewarding the superior based on results is the only way to have a chance at getting quality employees in any field. Whether folks are "in it for the...

    In which WWII army should you have fought?

    Foxes dig holes to hide in, men (Marines) dig holes to fight from. Sorry, channeling my inner Sgt. :D

    The Adventurer's Gear Thread

    On this tack, I just got my C&R license in the mail. (Where does one go to sell a kidney?) On page 95 of the most recent Shotgun News I found this vendor with LOTS of surplus, including military boots and shoes. http://www.colbubbie.com/ Be sure to check out the surplus brown shoes and...

    What WWII games really need right now...

    The Russian Front wasn't trench-bound, in the later war even in Europe you have less formal "trench" defenses and more defense in depth. Trench raids are small-unit night "stealthy actions" and the later war German strongpoint defense and stormtrooper infiltration tactics could be...

    How did you find the lounge?

    That's like getting the gospel from Paul himself. :eusa_clap

    Blag time.

    I understood that his comment of: covered the "asking permission" angle. Even if he didn't ask, the simplest course would be to notify those pictured and have them tell him "no". This is beating a horse that ain't even hurt yet. :rolleyes:

    Do you Cthulhu much!?

    Sounds like "WestWorld" without the 'robots run amok' problem. :)

    Handsome Fellas!

    Did you see Clive all paternal in "Shoot'EmUp" with Monica Belluci and Paul Giamatti (as the bad guy)? If you don't mind extreme (though almost cartoonish) violence, vulgarity and sexual situations, it's a fun ride.

    Cheesecake!

    I'm reminded of Connery's Bond line... "That's a pretty looking nothing you're almost wearing."

    Show Us Your OVERCOATS

    I'll have to get a pic but my stupid boss came in gloating this morning wearing a fantastic coat from Nordies with his grandfather's heavy silk, cashmere backed, scarf. I don't know if it would fit me. If I try it on and it does, you all don't know anything about a mysterious disappearance. :D

    Cool, a DUKW. :eusa_clap That's all my momma will allow me to see. ;)

    Reefer Madness- 1936

    Do a little more digging and you'll find most such campaigns in US history, while outwardly justified by "public health or morals or safety" reasons, have explicitly (and only lightly disguised) racist roots. Political double-speak and hypocrisy is nothing new, unfortunately.
