Real Live Nukes. Film at 11.
I originally posted this as a comment on gmskarka's blog entry on the same topic, but I might as well repost it here in my own domain...
I grew up in the Air Force. My father, who at 70 is still the hardest working man I have ever known, was a flight mechanic and crew chief who worked primarily on B-52's and the KC-135's that refueled them. I spent my ( Read more... ) -
When Surly Fannish Curmudgeons Attack
Huh.
Something has been brought to my attention that deserves to be addressed; first, a recap -

Into Her Web
Once upon a time, a youthful, cheerful, good-natured man filled with great enthusiasm for the female of the species was enjoying a girl-filled yet complication-free life when a close friend tried to set him up on a blind date with her aunt. He said "Sure!" and joined her and her husband, also a close friend, to meet this relative at dinner ( Read more... ) -
A day of days
On this day, an undisclosed number of years ago, a baby girl was welcomed into the world. She immediately took issue with the world, and set about trying to hammer it into the shape she thought it should have. Over the years she managed to mellow somewhat, but she can still get her bad attitude on when the mood takes her... and usually make it ( Read more... )
