Goings on
This is a close up of an M1 Abrams main battle tank, a truly fearsome weapon.
This is an Abrams tanker.
What enemy of F
reedom could fail to be scared witless by this?
Billy Banana, dauntless defender of Things that are Good
And the crew that made it possible.
This crew, at the risk of a very stern talking to, managed to occupy Sageant Major Smurf (SMS) long enough for me to properly affix these fearsome magnets to one of their tanks. Time was of the essence, so we didn't get very far. Don't worry though. Stay tuned and see what happns next. The first annual Brassfield Mora Open golf tournament and car and fashion show. All made possible by The Other Sargeant Major (TOMS) who is not an a-hole.
WOOHOO!!! FEAR THE AWESOME POWER OF MAGNETISM!!!
Looking good, doc! Much more exciting than the Footlocker of Dumb. How many bribes did you have to offer the tankers to let you do that?
BTW - Another package is on the way to you right now.

Oh! I have a perfect Horace Mann banner that would look marr-velous on the other side of the tank. (It was "liberated" from the gym after the owner forgot it during a workshop. *purely innocent grin* )
Is the standard bribery material sufficient for the tankers or do they require special care?? I'm willing to help pay the "fee".

Love the new art form - I'm sure a lot of stealth was involved. Good job! By the way, when will we see a photo of Frank?

Well Brian, normally, since tankers' hearts are as big as their backsides, it would have cost me nothing, but these are strange times. As it was, the fee was a couple of golf clubs, a box of range balls and the rest of my tonsil tonic. Fair price.
Mainer, I look forward to the banner. I will take care of the fee
Dave, Happy Birthday.

That's looking pretty bad ass. I keep trying to spot one of my magnets in those pictures but still haven't been able to pick one out.

I think I just heard Zarqawi screaming in terror and then running into a wall. It made kind of a squishy, "ripe-watermelon-hitting-the-supermaket-floor" sound.....

If you can hear Zarqawi, the temperature must be mighty hot...

Doc I think you should consider finding corporate sponsorship for the Dumvee.
(or the tank?
There's endless possibilites for profit.

You might want to get the Orkin man or Roto-Rooter as sponsors--or the Grucci fireworks company. How about Advil Migraine, Imodium, or Cruex?
