STORMBRINGER: V-22 Osprey Update

V-22 Lies Exposed
"G2mil's March article, V-22 Alternatives describes why V-22s are not shipboard compatible. This has been known by those profiting from the V-22 program for a decade. This is why they avoided deploying V-22s with naval task forces. However, all the CH-46Es have been retired from the East Coast, so V-22s were forced to deploy last month with the 22nd MEU. They deployed only 10, rather than the standard 12 with the CH-46E, because V-22s are twice their size."

Five Questions Most Feared By Men
Question # 1: What are you thinking about?
The proper answer to this, of course, is: “I’m sorry if I’ve been pensive, Dear. I was just reflecting on what a warm, wonderful, thoughtful, caring, intelligent woman you are, and how lucky I am to have met you.”
This response obviously bears no resemblance to the true answer, which most likely is one of the following:
•Baseball.
•Football.
•How fat you are.
•How much prettier she is than you.
•How I would spend the insurance money if you died.
Perhaps the best response to this question was offered by Al Bundy, who once told Peg, “If I wanted you to know what I was thinking, I would be talking to you.”

Funny: Top Gear Of The Pops Comic Relief Special - Final song
This is from 2007 and I had never seen it so I thought you guys might like it.
Pierre - A brave French fighter pilot
Pierre, a brave French fighter pilot, takes his girlfriend, Marie, out for a pleasant little picnic by the River Seine. It’s a beautiful day and love is in the air.
Marie leans over to Pierre and says: “Pierre, kiss me!” Our hero grabs a bottle of Merlot and splashes it on Marie’s lips.
“What are you doing, Pierre?”, says the startled Marie.
“I am Pierre the fighter pilot! When I have red meat, I like to have red wine!
She smiles and they start kissing. When things began to heat up a little, Marie says, “Pierre, kiss me lower.”
Our hero tears her blouse open, grabs a bottle of Chardonnay and starts pouring it all over her breasts.
“Pierre! What are you doing?’, asks the bewildered Marie.
“I am Pierre the fighter pilot! When I have white meat, I like to have white wine!”
They resume their passionate interlude and things really steam up. Marie leans close to his ear and whispers, “Pierre, kiss me lower!”
Our hero rips off her underwear, grabs a bottle of Cognac and pours it in her lap. He then strikes a match and lights it on fire.
Marie shrieks and dives into the river. Standing waist deep, Marie throws her arms upwards and screams furiously,
“PIERRE, WHAT IN THE HELL DO YOU THINK YOU’RE DOING?”
“I am Pierre the fighter pilot! When I go down, I go down in flames!”

The Facts of Life
Truly, the Facts of Life are Conservative, as Margaret Thatcher famously said, and I have no doubt that as medicine and biology advance on all fronts, many a sagging feminist will become a fierce defender of traditional positions. Thus is the way of all consciousness: from something for nothing, to nobility of purpose. Even fools like Kos have to grow up.
MIA's REMAINS DISCOVERED, ID'd

Prayer to St. Nicklaus
Our Father, who art in Augusta,
Nicklaus be thy name,
thy kingdom come, thy will be done,
on greens as it is on fairways.
Give us this day our share of birdies,
and forgive us our gimmes
as we forgive those who gimme against us.
Lead us not into the deep rough,
and deliver us from sand traps,
for we drive for power and we putt for glory,
forever and ever, Amen.

Three C's................from 45 Govt
Think about this:
1. Cows
2. The Constitution
3. The Ten Commandments
------------------------------------------------------------------------
COWS
Is it just me, or does anyone else find it amazing
that during the mad cow epidemic our government could track
a single cow, born in Canada almost three years before, right
to the stall where she slept in the state of Washington?
And, they tracked her calves to their stalls. But they are
unable to locate 11 million illegal aliens wandering around
our country. Maybe we should give each of them a cow.
------------------------------------------------------------------------
THE CONSTITUTION
They keep talking about drafting a Constitution for
Iraq . Why don't we just give them ours? It was
written by a lot of really smart guys, it has worked for
over 200 years, and we're not using it anymore.
------------------------------------------------------------------------
THE 10 COMMANDMENTS
The real reason that we can't have the Ten
Commandments posted in a courthouse or Congress is this --
you cannot post 'Thou Shalt Not Steal' 'Thou
Shalt Not Commit Adultery' and 'Thou Shall Not
Lie' in a building full of lawyers, judges and
politicians ..... it creates a hostile work environment.
