Didn't know the Reds used the Jawa's landcrawler during Bagration. Learn something new every day.

We're getting a new shop in the building, only thing we know so far is: "Vinyls, books, gallery, food"

I foresee a hipster invasion.

The Russians are miffed that Germany does not commemorate it.

A big Barbarossa parade complete with huge pictures of Fedor von Bock being carried along like holy icons. I see it now. Line after line of Leopard 2's covered in Iron Crosses.

I just got hard.

I feel the Russians are seeking another excuse to rape some more German women.

Swans.
The gayest of birds.


Always look like they're smiling don't they?

What are all these lights?

[Admiral Yi]

I know squid fishermen light up their boats.  Think shrimpers do to.

Right along the halfway point between argentina and the Falklands

Google backs up Yi:

"About 300 to 500 kilometers (200 to 300 miles) offshore, a city of light appeared in the middle of the South Atlantic Ocean. There are no human settlements there, nor fires or gas wells. But there are an awful lot of fishing boats.
Adorned with lights for night fishing, the boats cluster offshore along invisible lines: the underwater edge of the continental shelf, the nutrient-rich Malvinas Current, and the boundaries of the exclusive economic zones of Argentina and the Falkland Islands.
The night fishermen are hunting for Illex argentinus, a species of short-finned squid that forms the second largest squid fishery on the planet. The squid are found tens to hundreds of kilometers offshore from roughly Rio de Janeiro to Tierra del Fuego (22 to 54 degrees South latitude). They live 80 to 600 meters (250 to 2,000 feet) below the surface, feeding on shrimp, crabs, and fish. In turn, Illex are consumed by larger finfish, whales, seals, sea birds, penguins...and humans."

A teacher asks the class if they had any relatives that fought in the war.
Little Johnny puts his hand up.
"my grandad was in the war and got a grenade shoved up his arse by a german miss"
the teacher replies
"rectum Johnny, rectum"
Johnny says...
"rectum miss?....it nearly fucking killed him!".

Wrecked him.

[PRC]

Had a major rain and hail storm come through.  Water found its way through the roof in one corner of the house and down through a light fixture.  Nothing major, but will need to deal with it as soon as possible.  Obviously not going to use the lights in that part of the house and will need to call someone asap to deal with it as i'm not handy enough. 

Any advice from the homeowners who've been through something like that before would be much appreciated.
