July Bombing...a Red, White and Blue Extravaganza!

DELIVERED!

Haha! I'm sitting near the front door and I didn't even hear the guy come up on the porch! Yep, sure enough. Theo's more aware of my surroundings that I am. Ok, gotta start taking some more photos.

On truck for delivery as of 6:36am today.

Mine finally arrived in the right town this morning (at 6:21 am local time); no clue if it will be going out today or tomorrow....

supposedly now out for delivery -- I'll believe it when I hear the explosion! :bom:

It was a... silenced bomb???

Ah, yes. Fun with the postal service. Now that the targets are declassified, I can tell my own tale of postal woe. First of all, this is the second month in a row that I've predicted a target. The day before BH sent out the PMs, I sent a bomb out to Zach. Manistee is roughly 170 miles from Kalamazoo. Tracking that package, I watched it go to Grand Rapids (regional hub) to Luddington (quite near the destination) then overshoot 60 miles north to Traverse City before heading back to Manistee. Altogether it spent 4 business days in transit. When the official bomb went out on Wednesday, I mailed it from Coldwater (50 miles FURTHER AWAY from Manistee) on my way to the first stop on my work trip. It went straight to Traverse and was delivered on Thursday! :x I think I was the only one to hit early. When I saw what had happened I PM'd Zach with a cover story. Since his package included a fat baggie of Squadron Leader with "compliments of the squadron" written on it, I told him I had picked up some things for him while running the actual mission. I think it worked.

Ah, yes. Fun with the postal service...

Also, I don't know what it takes to be an Ace in this squadron, but I think Kaiser deserves at least a "Mention in Dispatch" for his astounding accuracy with "binary explosives". He sent a letter bomb from Afghanistan and placed a third-party order with a stateside vendor and had them both arrive on the same day!

Post more pictures, Zach and George!

 

[GuitarMyFriend]

I'm at work... as soon as I get home ill get some pictures going. I already got 10... I'm not sure how many to expect...

Secondary detonations:



Wind-up model airplane (yes, it's a shark mouth P-51!), Bulleit Rye, Solani ABF, Larson Signature, Suspiciously named "Beard Lube", Storm Front, possible federal offence, North Woods, MM cob, and Lux Bullseye Flake.

And if you piss him off, he'll call in an Air Strike on your house. :twisted:


Seriously, Yes - his timing and accuracy from his location in unprecedented!

possible federal offence

Not as long as we abide by the Geneva Convention. :mrgreen:

Congrats on the Shark Mouth P-51!

Suspicious packaging:

 

[George Kaplan]

Cob, rye, and possible federal offence. That's one of those new 5th Ave Diplomats. The bottle and noisemakers are REALLY huge!



Ok, maybe I'm totally lying and that's really a mini cob.

 

[George Kaplan]

One of these boxes was very well "padded":

 

[Blackhorse]

re: Kaiser...he is a model of not only accuracy but of what can be accomplished given proper motivation. When someone WANTS to accomplish something...bends his will toward researching what it will take to get there...and follows through regardless of obstacles...the liklihood of success is significant. Having his items arrive on the same date, with one having been sent out THREE WEEKS in advance? PLEASE! CAN I GET A WITNESS? This guy IS THE BOMB!!!

Good to see that bottle of rye in tact. 8)

Winner in the category of "Strangest Compliance with Red, White, and Blue Instruction":



Pen, paper, and blown-out capacitor. :scratch:

Darn, they could've at least sent you a good capacitor. :mrgreen:

If it had cracked, at least the packaging was "extra absorbent".
