#1..."hand protection deemed unnecessary"
12:49 PM Mr. Silver
"Um...where are the gloves?" 
“No gloves, soldier." 
"Why?"
“Project was over budget." 
"Can I wear my own gloves?" 
“Hell no!  Not in my Army, sissy boy!"

12:51 PM Mr. Pink

Haha

Is that because they figure if a bomb goes off, your hands are a goner?

12:53 PM Mr. Silver
I was thinking it was a precision handling trade-off
At least for PR anyway.
12:56 PM Mr. Silver
"Can't defuse a bomb without precise finger control, you know." 
"Yes...I'll admit that...but this way the fingers only really get the one try." 

12:56 PM Mr. Blue

Pic #10

Heavily armed flight attendants

1:03 PM Mr. Silver
Looks like an anime setup for something screwy or dirty...or both
#2...I've heard the French don't bathe, but that's a rather extreme proof. 
1:25 PM Mr. Silver
The #3 writeup is great

1:27 PM Mr. Blue

Can’t see a few of them for some reason

1:27 PM Mr. Silver
Hmmm.
1:29 PM Mr. Silver
Well, basically after 2 projects and uncertain billions of project dollars, they put the project on hold: "Maybe it has something to do with the fact that smartphones can do everything the eight pound Nett Warrior could. "

1:29 PM Mr. Blue

I mean the pictures… I can't see the pictures of the Gadahfi ladies or Iran's women police

That’s honestly pretty bad ass though

Who wouldn't want to be followed around by a harem of hot Arabian ladies packing major heat?

Better than a sausage fest

1:30 PM Mr. Silver
#4 – Oh Gagahfi!  Your ensemble is FAAAB-U-LOUSSS!

1:31 PM Mr. Blue

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Swiss_Guard or these jokers

Their greatest defense is being absolutely hilarious looking

1:34 PM Mr. Pink

You should dress up like that for Halloween

1:39 PM Mr. Blue

I might

1:42 PM Mr. Silver
Could always do Greek.

"They wear that to fight?  Heck NO I'm not messing with them."

1:43 PM Mr. Blue

They look like female oompa loompas

1:43 PM Mr. Silver
There's a certain confidence implied. 
"Go ahead...comment on the back knee tassles...I...dare...you..."
The India/Pakistan elite troops were rather fab too, as I recall.

1:45 PM Mr. Blue

Yeah, with the oriental fans on their head

1:47 PM Mr. Silver
Yeah

“In July 2010, as part of a move initiated by India, both countries agreed to tone down the aggressiveness exhibited by soldiers during the gate closing ceremony because the soldiers hurt their feet and knees performing the goose-stepping every day.”

"Jebus, what are they?  RUN!!!"

3:08 PM Mr. Blue

3:22 PM Mr. Silver
Note – The homemade peanut butter I last made is a potential new fuel supply for planet Earth.
Or for systemic correction of the methane balances of the Jovian planets.

Mr. Green

Hey guys, I'm bailing. I took an hour of vacation. I'm beat. After the initial adrenaline rush wore off, I’ve been going downhill. Talk to you tomorrow.

2:41 PM Mr. Yellow

Wish I could bail, I am tired as well

3:04 PM Mr. Silver
I'm tired too...permanent bailing sounds good.
"I'm calling off for the next 50-60 years.”

3:16 PM Mr. Yellow
