Weird Shotgun Loads

I went on a link-clicking spree and ended up watching the effects of slugs on various materials. I have some, but I haven't fired them yet. When I saw what they did to 4" fence post, I was impressed.

I saw a Mythbusters episode in which they "armored" a car with phone books. It actually worked. The only round which penetrated was the 12ga. slug.

lol, I found a few of them funny, but everyone's sense of humor is different.

Here's a gem I found, it's Stephen Fry in Alabama for a college football game.

For those not familiar:

Stephen John Fry (born 24 August 1957) is an English actor, screenwriter, author, playwright, journalist, poet, comedian, television presenter, film director and a director of Norwich City Football Club.[

After he sort of sighs at how silly we can be, his reaction to the fighter jets flying over at the end are priceless. :)

Merry Krampus!!!!

It's time to celebrate the correcting of bad children with birch branches!!

The Germanic peoples have always understood that you have to scare the crap out of children to keep them in line sometimes, and for that they use Krampus. The best part is that he's approved by Santa Claus to instill his brand of fear in the hearts of bad children.

On the night before Christmas, Krampus goes around before Saint Nicholas does and starts to clear off his own list. The list of the naughtiest kids. How else would someone do this than with a switch and a basket? He goes around and takes them, throws 'em in his basket and they go with him to the pits of hell."

Edit: Had to re-watch the episode I had planned and guessed it might not be so appropriate lol. Here's a parade of Krampus though

As a kid, that would have scared me enough to keep on the straight and level lol.

No doubt. When I was in school, my German teacher gave us all a copy of this bedtime story from Germany. Basically, it says you're going to be murdered in your sleep by a horific monster and there's nothing you can do about it so sleep tight! :evil:

Never let the facts get into the way of a good story ... but you realize that this is a song of the punk rock band "Die Ärzte" ("the best band in the world!"), relatively modern, and a part of their series of songs to create a maximum of controversy in a saturated, bourgeois society (like "Claudia hat 'nen Schäferhund", "Geschwisterliebe", ...).

Weird...I wonder why my German teacher presented it as such. Maybe something was lost in translation (she was a native German)...or maybe it was like that movie, "Final Cut", and all my memories are not quite right.

I suspect a little of both.

And when you say "relatively modern", I thank you. You make me feel as though I just left school. :biggrin:

Edit: In my (and Gisele's) defense, the song is listed as a lullaby on the album's wiki page. :debile2:

MOSFILM, the old Soviet film studio, just pushed out another Russian language big budget war film. Trailer:

.

Got some gear porn going on, not bad, story is a bit "take a shot every time Greater Russian Nationalist Folk Motif occurs" (which is the new version of "take a shot every time Socialism prevails" for Soviet films), I'll sum it up as: Comrade Captain Ahab (with overtones of a Russian Orthodox Christ-figure in tanker coveralls) hunts a White Tank.

If you enjoy it for the visuals alone, not bad.
