Wow.

Slayer dead and Bearcat wounded. I suggest we send a group of about a dozen soldiers to go search for their remaining brother to get him out before he gets hurt. The Secretary doesn't want to write another letter to their mom.

:LOL:

If alamn hadn't been carressing Bearcats bunions, he wouldn't have been wounded.

What a marksmanship display there, fellas. Redneckraider barely broke up the no-hitter.

I am impressed though. Cannibal loses half his thumb but keeps on shooting at the enemy! He should be put in for a medal for that show of courage!

We're next, LETS KICK SOME ARSE!!

HOOAH

so you are ready for our first time together :D

I don't think the thumb is the finger he uses the most anyway.


Wait.. that is kinda tragic. Without an opposable thumb, he won't be able to grasp his favorite things.

Oh yeah baby, lets do it!!

:shake: :redface:

Um, you do realize that you're on a replacement crew right now, rednfeisty? Morphius' threats to kill lazarus have drawn attention.

Maybe morphius can tape a picture of you to the copilot's yoke until you can actually get on board.

What are you shaking your head at?

Yes, but I am having fun playing along.

At our rather weak showing :banghead:
