LOL, they replaced berings ans seals and I'm sure the batteries.  When it sunk it imediatly settled in the the peat and was sealed up.  They said the engine still had the oil in it.  From the discription it looked like it was lost a few months ago.

That is the best way to partake of all my pearls of wisdom;)

I'm usualy in bed for 5 to 7, but I don't sleep well.  I usualy wake up at least once or twice an hour.  Every 4th or 5th day I get a good 7 hours sleep, because I'm so damn tired.  They said it was ptsd when I got home and that it would eventualy get better, personaly I think ptsd gets blamed for crap too often.  Besides that most of the effects are common sense.  But I'm allowed to say that, because I got the T Shirt.  

Anyway I supose I'll learn to live with it eventualy.

Here's an article on a T34 that was found preserved in a peatbog in Estonia.  They actualy got it running with only minor repairs and a major cleaning:

I actualy played Neverwinter nights On my last deployment, until we all got bored and went back to Delta Force:BHD 

Anyway, how did prostitution and porn turn into Desert Storm Part 2?  Are we now hiring prostitutes and pornstars to interrogate the enemy?  Ya know what, if it wasn't probably against the Geneva Convention, that might not be a half bad idea!

"Yo, rag head!  Yea, you!  Who cares about 70 virgins in the afterlife!  We have one for you RIGHT NOW!  We'll even give you your favorite meal and a three hour pass to a Korean Massage Parlor if you just tell us where you stashed the New-Clear weapons!"

Think about it!

Hell, I'd take one for the team.  Not a virgin anymore, but honestly, he's a POW, do you REALLY think he'd be that picky?

That turned my stomach a bit, I've delt with "internees" thats just nasty.  If your going to break out those skills, use them for troop moral.   

but is orion by metalica the best song of the 80's?  and probably ever?

No

I'm not even sure what language you guys are talking

Make with the pics man! 

Definatly sounds interesting, how many games of this have you played?

Your right switch, I should have been more clear...

Speaking for myself...

Rap would be the biggest detriment to modern music.  Modern R&B has NOTHING to do with classic R&B.

And Pop has again been dragged into oblivion, perhaps even more severely than it was during Disco.

There are a few groups out there doing some half decent stuff (Hoobastank mentioned above, I also like a couple of White Stripes tunes...) but by-and-large the only folks BUYING music today are buying trash; and the labels are controlled by either Disney "artists" or gang-bangers.

Music is on a cusp again, like it was circa 1981.  The current era has done all that it can, and each "new" song is only a rehash of what went before.  EVERYONE is waiting for the next Van Halen so that music can "run with the devil" again for a while and grow into something other than the current TRASH.

And you know... it is really SAD that the most trite Hair Bands of the late 80's had more originality and more SKILL than anything currently aired on Top 40 stations today.  It is enough to make me ALMOST long for a return to Bow Wow Wow...

At LEAST they had a good hook...

I tell you what, I could go for a piece of candy about now   80s chicks were so friggen hot...

Nice List DF,
I'll add a few more nice list. 

Here's a few more: Slayer, Guns n roses, The Smiths, The Pixies, The Clash, Kiss, Dead kennedy's, The Ramones, Red Hot Chili's...

Red Hot Chilli's, lmao, that brings back some memories, more 90s for me though.

You also forgot Styx, REO Speedwagon, Guns N' Roses, Don Henley, John Fogerty, Genesis, and it's offshoots Phil Collins and Peter Gabriel (arguably the most talented singer/songwriter in the 80's).

I agree with your list with a few notable exceptions, fish.

AC/DC, Floyd, and Rush did their best work in the 70's, by far.

And Ozzy sucked after he left Sabbath. It irritates me to no end that such a genius could so completely roll over and pump out cookie cutter garbage after being in one of the most defining rock bands of all time. The drug binges definitely took their toll.



Here's a love song for you. Ties in with another thread currently being discussed. UP THE IRONS!

To be honest most of that was from memory, so The AC/DC Floyd and Rush as well as Sabath were probably old stuff that I was just listening to in the 80s.  For that matter I listened to a lot of the same songs in the 90s.  For example I don't think I listend to very much at all that Motley Crue did after 90.

Also, Guns and Roses had some good songs but I could never stand Axl Rose   Also I never got into Phil Collins, but Peter Gabriel made M-TV watchable

you forgot Blue oyster cult, and Emerson, Lake, and palmer

Ah Blue Oyster Cult - love that Godzilla song.  I used to crank that so loud the widows vibrated... Go Go Godzilla!
