If anyone has a spare grand or two, could you send it my way?
I'll let you come over, sit in it and make "Vroom Vroom" noises.

Amazing. It would be very amazing to own as a piece of history, but probably more of a PITA than one of the production cars if you really wanted to drive it. And I would really want to drive it unless I was like Seinfeld or Leno and just had a huge collection. To me they are not as timeless aesthetically as the 911 and 930.

An "Army Tactical Brassiere," designed to give female soldiers enhanced protection and performance, is currently being tested at the Army's Combat Capabilities Development Command Soldier Center (DEVCOM). A prototype team expects to present an initial evaluation of the product to the Army Uniform Board this fall, reported Army Times.

Supposedly there is even a new MOS to support it. 69Houdini, Army Tactical Brassiere Crewmember.
To be selected you have to know about the cup sizes, lol

I’ll second that!

I wonder if any of that research could result in a better jockstrap?

A streaming service just ran an advert for NYC Broadway theatre business. An actress says " you wouldn't expect a doctor to go get a job waiting tables why are we any different?". Wow.

Really? Actress = Doctor in terms of critical function?

I'd love to look her in the eye and say something like "you're different because while I support the Arts, no dancer or singer ever helped me solve a medical issue. We all can live without you".

Sir. She was acting.

But yes, I'd love to know who came up with that. Whatever, if they can sell it to someone, more power to 'em. (I'm assuming they were asking for money). As Barnum said, there's one born every minute.

How in the hell did she get access to an AR? I didn't watch the video, but normally people are put in the back of the car in cuffs. I'm not a cop, but based on things that I've seen, normally, there's a partition between the back and the front. And normally, weapons are kept in the front (other side of partition) or trunk.

I make a pilgrimage to Asbury Park every summer to revel in the pleasures of the Boardwalk.

I always liked the Williams machines. They had the best flipper action.

I've always known about and have admired military nurses but, this story is awe inspiring. I highly recommend it.

My 8 year old grand daughter was playing around on her play set and while hanging upside-down on the ladder, advised she was stuck.
I suggested she might have to stay there all night, to which she asked, "What will you do about the carcasses?"
"What carcasses?"
"The carcasses of the coyotes who die laughing when they see me." She camly replied.
I helped her down.

OOf! This'll tighten your colon.

I'm amazed that the pilot had enough height to recover from that. I'm told that the landings are full throttle but does that translate to enough airspeed?

[svandamme]

ooh, Crew of 5 and noooooo ejection seats on that E2
I bet they were in need of fresh underpants after that
