MikeForsythe 0 #13 July 22, 2008 Wow, I hope that is not how they are doing it. As for the camera, that has been done for years. Time and pressure will always show you who a person really is! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
JohnRich 4 #14 July 22, 2008 Quotethe picture associated with it cracks me up Yes, the photo-shop graphic depictions of what this might look like were very entertaining. And that's why I chose "The Sun", because they had the best mock-up picture. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

buff 0 #18 July 22, 2008 It must be true because just this morning, I heard a parody song about it to the tune of the Green Beret song. "Fighting canines from the sky........" "They look so cute under parachute"It's called the Hillbilly Hop N Pop dude. If you're gonna be stupid, you better be tough. That's fucked up.

squarecanopy 0 #19 July 23, 2008 HEEEY YOU GUYS. Don't be dissing the Brits and their doggone good idea. They will get all butt hurt and not let us copy them. America will not be able to take advantage of their visionary and astute military planning.... But I did hear that song! Fighting canines from the sky... Fearless friends who bark and cry Dogs who fly and work for food They look so cute under parachute Bad ass hounds who know just what When they land, they'll sniff your butt Dogs who jump and are the best They work and earn that green jump vest... Chorus Place silver wings upon their vest Make them one of Britain's best They'll fly and work and earn the right To get dog bones and beef pasty pie Just burning a hole in the sky.....

yarak 0 #22 July 29, 2008 the americans have developed a new program that uses poultry. These are special forces chickens that are trained in ninja combat. These chickens like two things: kicking ass and F@cking P@ssy. Also these chickens have been infected with syphilis so if they are captured and eaten, the enemy gets syphilis of the stomach and dies. the UN is saying this is fowl playI'll huff and I'll puff and I'll burn your fucking packing tent down.
