A hoot

We've been talking lately about missiles and and such. How about this new torpedo? Should we worry about it, or go for the tried and true repartee, ah don't worry, have more ouzo? If it can really go 223mph (even half as fast), it would require a massive shot of ouzo to dismiss this...

Tecumseh said...: Good point -- we should have some democracy here, not rule by fiat imposed by the East Coast elites. So, what should be the optimal time zone for this blog? Mountain time? If all fails, we could settle for GMT...; 4/02/2006 10:21 PM
