Do you have a broadband internet connection?

I have a bazooka.

I just wanted to type bazooka. I haven't heard the word bazooka in years. The bazooka was my favorite army man. Then, it was the machine gunner. The radioman just sucked.



Rifleman, cool.
Minesweeper dude, sucked.
Dude with handgun, cool.
Guy crawling on the ground, sucked.
Sometimes the Jeeps were cool, often times they had crappy tires and sucked.

Guy crawling on the ground, definitely did not suck. Without him we had to cut the feet off the radio man when we poured the red wax candle all over these guys to get the "real" effect. Okay, okay he sucked, but he was necessary.

Flame thrower was the best., We used Ronsonol lighter fluid and a book of matches to really make things interesting. We buried mouse traps and match books in the sandbox, set up our army men and let the flame thrower go to work!

shaka khan had a bucket of soldiers he used to play with. It included an Alan Alda bobblehead, six Peace Corps members, a hippie and a VW Microbus.

I was just joking, shaka.

The cat turds in the sandbox made for some sweet bunkers! The real trick was to melt the guy without bending his rifle -- completely ruins the effect when the rifle bends. Which brings me to Mr. Grenade Tosser. That dude looks perfect when you cut his stand off, lay him down, heat the rod of a blowgun dart up and stick it in his heart, and then drip a pool of red wax all over his chest. "Aaaahahgggg"

All in good fun, of course! Seriously, though, I am the only person in my family who isn't eligible for USAA insurance, so I guess the shoe fits.

Brother and sister who proudly served as Air Force officers. Brother was ROTC at WSU, graduated in '67, got his 3rd bachelor's degree in meterology from A&M. Sister who was a surgical nurse in the Air Force. I was the resient hippie!

That absolutely brings back my youth! Kids don't do that stuff anymore.

I remember, not to be politically incorrect, making "Polish Cannons" out of beer cans and duct tape. You can't do that anymore. Cans are aluminum now and not shaped right. You used to be able to use a can opener and take off the tops and bottoms of five or six cans and tape them together. You would leave the bottom on the last can and use a church key to make an opening to fill it with white gas and also light it. A tennis ball fit perfectly down the tube. You lit the son of a ***** and it sent the tennis ball like two blocks. It all ended when one of the guys also put gasoline on the tennis ball! The thing was a fireball that set a garage on fire almost three blocks away! Yeah, I got beat up pretty bad by my parents on that one!

And if I ever catch my kids doing it, they'll get a beating, too!

Ran across this on my LinkedIn feed. For those of you who hate huffpo, hold your nose and read the article. Comcast has a 97 percent profit margin (I would call it more a contribution margin - profit after subtracting variable costs but before deducting allocated fixed costs) on its broadband business.........
