The USMC Silent Drill Team...badass beyond reason! Those guys are very very impressive.


Triva: The drill team shown at the beginning of "A Few Good Men" wasn't the USMC's team, it was Texas A&M's Fish Drill Team.:)

the rifles are m1 garand and they are drilled and cromed

will not fire



Doing fancy drill with a rifle that is still servicable is a little off, isn't it? Still incredibly impressive. Never mind doing drill with a fixed bayonet, even if it isn't sharp, its hard-core. Have you ever done any sort of real fancy drill, with throws, etc? Not only does the bayonet move the natural balance point of the weapon, but its very very dangerous if you over rotate or under rotate the rifle. Especially in a throw to another member of your team.

I have seen the baby foot around alot, I question it's status. I find it hard to believe that a foot can go through all that tissue and stuff and still show on the skin with such detail. On the other hand 2 people just created that monster which is hard to believe itself sometimes.

At least one of the pics is photoshoped....i think the one with the baby foot, and the one where the cat is being washed.

That is exactly how a persian looks when getting a bath, so I don't know why anyone would bother photoshopping the cat pic when all they have to do is come over to my house to get that exact shot.;)

LOL, what I thought when I saw it: I know that look. And have the scars to show it (although not from a persian...)

I think a wet German Shepherd looks just as sad when there getting a bath. They look at you like your ripping there sould away from them.

OK, I agree this is the look you get on some bathed cats. BUT the pic is definitely photoshoped.
Exhibit A. You do not get the cat completely soaked from neck back and get no water anywhere on the head, not even if you try. (a halfway respectable groomer would bathe the whole cat anyway):S
Exhibit B. THe shadow gives it away....1-there is the shadow of two leashes and 2-since when do shadows have varying degrees of darkness?:o
Exhibt C. Just my professional opinion, but that is the body of a small dog not a cat.;)

And the baby foot thing...further proof children are aliens:S:D

2 shadows = 2 lights.
Varying degree of shadow = 1 light brighter than the other.

You ever watched a footie match at night?

Lighting is normally in each corner of the stand. The players will have four shadows at 90 degs to each other.

if the theory of two lights is correct for differing darkness -in particular the dark leash shadow over the lighter cat head, then why does the one shadow closest to us change degrees of darkness and not reflect the twist of the leash at the top?

Edited to add, I dont see two sets of shadows in the upper portion of the picture, maybe the lights shut off up there :D

I lost a helmet liner that way, when a teammate flubbed a throw... broke it in half. Good thing I have a hard head!

I'm lost, where do you see two leashes? I see one, a red one.

My friend is a groomer, and I've watch her bath a cat. She doesn't get the head wet all the time. She's very talented with that hose:ph34r:
