I have a zombie rifle... just in case

I hope he used sunscreen

An airman at a deployed location saw a picture of a guy marshaling a tanker in his underwear. Gomer decided he could do the guy in his underwear one better.

While white socks can be worn with boots, the pants must be bloused in a manner that conceals the socks. I think this troop might be in trouble.

I like this kid, he's got a sense of humor. Sadly, his commander probably doesn't have a sense of humor. In fact, making the boss look stupid is a surefire recipe for closed-door unpleasantness ending in a reduction in rank.

I happen to think that unit wise guy is right up there with the chaplain in importance. One of the great unit wise guys of all time was Skippy. I heartily recommend Skippy's List to anyone serving in or alongside the Army.

Oh, to feel the wind in your hair...

Truck hits wheelchair, hits road | Chicago Tribune: "PAW PAW, Mich. -- Ben Carpenter is used to being on wheels. Just not in this way.

Carpenter, 21, was taken for a 2-mile ride down a two-lane highway after the handles of his wheelchair got stuck in the grille of a semitrailer truck as he crossed an intersection in Paw Paw."

Ben looks awfully serene in the picture. Maybe he's just patiently waiting for the trucker to get close enough to strangle.

An Australian TV station constructed a Trojan Horse and attempted to deliver it to various institutions.

Cellphones can disable Nissans - Los Angeles Times

Cellphones can disable Nissans - Los Angeles Times: "Nissan North America has a warning for customers: Placing your electronic key too close to your cellphone could leave you stranded.

The automaker is asking customers driving new models of two of its flagship sedans to keep their car keys and cellphones at least an inch apart to avoid disabling the 'intelligent keys.' "

I think Nissan is off to a good start but they need to do more. Perhaps they could get the steering wheel to burst into flame if a cellular phone is used by the driver while the vehicle is moving. That would be good.

"When suddenly..."

A long time ago, I did some volunteer work for an ambulance corps. If these folks had lived in our area of responsibility, I'm sure I would have known the entire family on a first-name basis.
