Rikkochet wins the Whatziss!

He got it, first up, yesterday. Subcal training round for the PIAT. You guys have nothing to be ashamed of, however. You were sniffing around it with your talk of spigot mortars (which is, essentially, what the PIAT is), K-gun testers (being spigot mortars) and subcal rounds, etc. I figured the spring would cause a synapse to fire for someone who was familiar with how the PIAT operates. Those of you who provided comic relief did well too - Argent wins with "Pelosi's neck" in reference...

Ah, for the days when someone else was paying for the ammo...

This would be a nice start. For what, about 10 minutes maybe, if I was letting the barrel cool...?

First One To Stop Wailing Is A Rotten Egg

Upon watching this video the answer came to me loud and clear: It is the same phenomenon like this other video but only in reverse. In Stalin's time, the first one to stop clapping would be fingered as an anti-communist reactionary. In the early sessions of The Supreme Soviets, clapping would go on for over an hour non-stop. Boq

Food Riot at Occupy Argghhh!

We have our own version of OWS at Castle Argghhh! where ne'er-do-wells demand free services and expect to live catered, consequence-free lives and expect and demand that the bourgeois pay for it. Meet Occupy Argghhh! Shown here bright and chipper and ready to rummmmmmble! This is usually what greets me when I head for the truck in the morning to go over to my cube farm that pays for this farm. They're fat, they're sassy, and they're hungry!

A request...

I don't often do blegs. Anyone who was a reader of this space last summer knows I lost my brother from another mother last year to cancer . One thing Preston had great pride in was his support of Special Olympics by his participation in the Polar Bear Plunge. This year his daughter Tory is stepping into Preston's shoes and taking the plunge for him. Last time you heard from me I was planning a birthday party for my dad, Preston. I'm contacting you again now because this Saturday I'm...

Now they've done it.

Now they've really, really done it.If the rocket had been a little bit over, it would have taken out the generator banks for the FOB.If the rocket had been a little bit short, it would have taken out the fuel farm for the generators.If the rocket had been a little bit to one side, it would have taken out the potable water storage.If the rocket had been a little bit to the other side, it would have hit the DFAC.But it hit where it hit, and, well ---- imagine singing "The Caissons Go Rolling...

Empty chairs at the table.

A metaphor for those who've passed on beyond our ken to the next book of their story. The holidays are when you really notice their absence. Especially when you reach a point between generations when... there's no need for a extra table anymore. Suddenly, everyone can sit at the big table. Well, at least until the next wave of babies comes and the cycle begins anew. Longtime Castle Denizen Bloodspite finds himself there this year, as his Uncle Charley passed last week. It seems to be a family...

Lighter fare...

...from people who can poke fun at their religion without engendering a crisis of faith or an uncontrollable urge to grab large knives... and still feel the G*d is okay with it. THE NUN AT HOOTERSA nun, badly needing to use the restroom, walked into a local Hooters.The place was hopping with music and loud conversation and every once in a while "the lights would turn off."Each time the lights would go out, the place would erupt into cheers. However, when the revelers saw the nun, the room...

Since it snowed last night...

...this seemed an appropriate morning to take a pic of the Castle's two Suomi KP/-31 (Suomi-konepistooli) subguns (aka M31), which between them show off two stock styles, two barrel shrouds, and two different magazine approaches. As well as one being non-functional (the one in the foreground) and the other being a semi-auto conversion (hence the extended barrel to meet legal requirements for a non-NFA weapon. Considered one of, if perhaps not the best subgun design from the WWII era, with the...
