Courtesy of Dan Dudley, we've got Marines fixing the red ring of death. I know I'd trust 'em.

He also sends actual footage of Jay McClement blowing up the Thrashers.

The Sunday links may be changed a bit. I'm toying with the idea of putting together an open thread with just some of the scores and a topic to discuss and then throwing the links up around 1 or 2, giving Prospect Sundays a bit more of the deserved spotlight. Like it? Don't like it? Let me know.

Either way, you've got AverageJoe tomorrow. Send him stuff at gametimelinks (at) gmail.com

Man I miss asploding stuff

Uncle Sam paid us to blow things up so we did our best to find kewl shit to vaporize. The duck fleeing for it’s life reminds of one demo shot we did at Fort Hunter Liggett in CA near Monterey. We wrapped a shitload of det cord around this big old dead oak tree to sheer it off at the base to drop it across a road to block access. Along with the det cord was a couple lbs of C4 to kick the big tree the right way. We get in our hole and KABOOM!!!! but the tree doesn’t move. WTF? We peek out and only one kicker charge went off, blowing the second charge all over the dry azz field, setting it on fire. As we start to stomp out the fire we realize we’re stomping on lit C4 also so we head back to the Lt to ponder the growing brush fire and how to tell the fort commander his fort is about to burn down.

Right at the height of what the fuck can go wrong next with fire engine sirens approaching we hear the fluttering of wings and out pops a snowy white owl from the top of the dead tree. His feathers are smoking and he gives us the fuck you look and flies off, trailing smoke the whole way like a freshly shot down WWII fighter. The poor owl musta been taking a nap in that hollowed out tree and we rudely woke him up.

Our team was called Combat Control but many knew us as Calamity Control.

Just a chew toy for the hockey gods
