Skinarian Bling

Say it with fake fake teeth



You have to love this grillz phenomenon. If there's a better way to say, "I'm a mixed-up young man, with poorly-thought-out priorities" I sure don't know what it is.

Moondog, you can also get yourself a new pimp cup at this site.

Loving you is easy, 'cause you're beautiful...

So I was trying to find pictures of a UAV recovery vehicle, to show Gnat that everything old is new again. I dropped by fas.org, which is about as interesting a site as the DirtyBird could ever hope to find. Got sidetracked by an interesting article about where our nukes are currently being stored.

Turns out, we've still got 10,000 nuclear warheads. Regional chauvinists will be pleased to note that the single largest concentration of them is right here at home, at Sub Base Bangor. Say WA!

Lots of interesting stuff in the article - a google maps tour of the storage facilities, lots of background on where we used to keep our nukes, and a terrific Q&A section at the end. Well done, Mr. Kristensen.
