Picture says a thousand words. The modern Marlboro Man, aftermath of Fallujah in Iraq. 

I’m not sexist (my other posts to the contrary). I’m sure my female friends on this will vouch for me! But can you believe this was in school textbooks for girls forty or fifty years ago?:L I love all the little details.

More Peanuts and Cthulhu.

The joys of mixing cartoons and Lovecraftian horror! Beach holiday in Innsmouth.

Dead right Fass, keep the Kerry flag afloat!

On a sidenote, he actaully shows up the odd time in a bar I drink at in Killarney! Highlight has to be last Christmas where a drunken friend went up and assured a tipsy Michael that he was his all time favorite actor and described how he went to the same school as him:L

Haha so true!

Boer commandos firing on Ladysmith. 

One last pic, because I can’t resist! Not sure what offensive but its definitely in 1918 in the last great German attacks. 

More stormtroopers. You can see how speed is of the essence. Their weapons are slung to enable them to dash quickly across the dead ground. It wasn’t unheard of them to bypass the first few trench lines if they had to, just dropping grenades in as they went. They were the first to get submachineguns and lighter man-portable flame-throwers to add to the havoc.
