Mart has a PIAT. But is unable to operate it, as the spring is too technical.

I think the Polish cavalry used mortar missiles during their head-on charge against Panzer III's in 1939.

Well technically any propelled item via a charge is a missile, but that sort of distinction only matters to the same pencilnecks that get pissed when people use "clip" instead of "magazine".

Well, a Hustler clip and a Hustler magazine are two different things entirely.

:rolleyes: I have corrected Princesca repeatedly on clips vs. magazines.

Yet she continues to say magazines  :mad:

That's retarded to confuse those two. Clips are the short videos you watch on youtube, MTV or Bravo and magazines are glossy page weekly or monthly newspapers like Out, Gay Times or Cosmopolitan. :smarty:

I'll help!   "Mart" is you.  "Has" is the third person singular present tense of have, "a" is an indefinite article that comes before a singular noun, PIAT, is a British anti-tank weapon from WWII, "but" is a conjunction indicating you don't don't know what a PIAT is, "is" is the third person singular of be, "Unable" means something that can't be done, "to" is either a preposition or a number that comes before one and after three, "It" is a pronoun referring to a previously mentioned item, "as" is a conjugation, "the" is an article, "spring" is a coiled piece of metal used to store energy,  we already went over "is", "too" is an adverb indicating something is beyond your capabilities, and "technical" means skill in a mechanical field.

I'm not that good at Grammar so garbon can feel free to change what he wants.  At the very least it's it's a good sketch of what was said.
I've given it serious thought. I must scorn the ways of my family, and seek a Japanese woman to yield me my progeny. He shall live in the lands of the east, and be well tutored in his sacred trust to weave the best traditions of Japan and the Sacred South together, until such time as he (or, indeed his house, which will periodically require infusion of both Southern and Japanese bloodlines of note) can deliver to the South it's independence, either in this world or in space.  -Lettow April of 2011
