the REAL american hero

good news!!! GI JOE is returning to its old style of single blister packs of the original style bad ass action figures! no more of this 8 inch tall, dis-proportionate, japanese anime-style bullshit they have been shoving at us for the past years! (see the thing that says "sigma" on it next to the real ones? thats the stupid crap im talking about) These new ones are EXACTLY how i remember them from back when i used to play with them. with guns that resemble real guns and not space blasters and tiny ass details on every last piece. no more of this 4 point articulation on these monster figures so you cant move them, its back to the 12 points where you can move every last feature for the ultimate badass pose!

if you are a parent of a little boy right now, do yourself a favor and get him these. in BULK. FUCK spongebob and pokemon, bring your kid up right by NOT turning him into a little pussy. if i find out that you bought him the "fireman bob playset" or something equally as queer, ill come over and stomp the piss out of it as i throw GI Joes at your son's head.

burning

saw this on the way home from work yesterday and had to get a couple shots... these garages were burned down completely by the time i left. I dont know what caused it or any other info.

some people....

this is why i get aggrivated at my job sometimes... this sign was there months ago and i go through this EVERY day.

sunRISE

ok first time ive ever been up to see the sun RISE instead of always seeing it set at night... I messed with the contrast in the pic to give a better representation of what i saw this morning because my camera couldnt quite capture it on its own... plus the silhouette of the trees just looks cool as hell....

pantera

jsut a bad ass pantera (italian muscle car) i saw yesterday. this thing is VERY fast.

air show!!

Ok, here are pics from the airshow that me and my GF atended on August 19th. It was at Volk Field in Wisconsin, about a three hour drive from the cities here. It was WELL worth the trip just for the stealth fighter alone. anyways, here are the pics:F18 Hornet:

F16 Falcon:

C130 Hercules (from Minneapolis National. Guard):

KC135 Tanker... the big boom on the back swings down and re-fuels aircraft in flight:


T38 Talon?... trainer aircraft:

A10 Warthog / Tankbuster... This thing has a large gatling gun on the front that fires bullets bigger then coke bottles. They rip apart tanks in a matter of seconds as you can see in the other pics:




UH60 Blackhawk:

CH47 Chinook:

CH47 inside:

F-117a Nighthawk / Stealth Fighter... There were two of these here. One took off as we got there and did a couple flybys and then left to do flybys at some other airshows and returned and landed three hours later:












second aircraft after landing:



Humvee... I am getting one of these eventually (minus the troop carrier cargo top):








HEMTT (High Expandable Multi Task Truck):

M35 Troop Carrier:

Volk Field also has a national guard museum in the middle of a field where you first come in...A10 Warthog:
