So it seems that Silly String might be helpful to our Soldiers in Iraq to find IEDs [Improvised Exploding device] that have been caused a good bulk of the deaths since major hostilities ended. So a soldiers mother in NJ has started a campaign to send Silly String to the boys.
Unfortunately, sending silly string in the mail is not really recommended by the military:
"We appreciate this generous show of support of our troops, but we encourage citizens to do so by sending other non-aerosol items in care packages, as aerosol items are considered hazardous materials and are costly to ship," according to a statement from the U.S. military's Combined Press Information Center in Iraq.
Now the silly string solution seems like a great idea, but I have a feeling it's just going to be used for practical jokes:
According to HammRadio sources, we've heard that our soldiers are using silly putty as emergency condoms:
HammLinks: Around The Web Today
- Olbermann presents the Nexus of Politics and Terror
- Does the Bush administration reveal terror plots and alerts when it's politically beneficial??? Seems like it.
- David Pogue discusses the Surface Computer
- I think we're all asking the same thing. What does porn look like on this thing. And um... what happens if the surface gets um... wet.
- This lady has hit 13 hole in ones....
- According to HammRadio sources, not one... NOT one entered the clown's mouth.
- I realize he's upset
- But he's gotta still be an A$$-Hole, right???
- iPhone will connect to Google Maps!
- Am I talking myself into buying an iPhone??? I have no idea. I'm a sprint guy... so if they had it... and they gave it to me for free... what would I do??? Note to self, might be a good time to look into upgrading the old phone to see what kind of deals are out there.
- For those who don't believe this never happened.
- I'm pretty sure this is proof. Also, that the Ukraine is WEAK!
- Minor League football... with a College flair
- I thought of this idea 10 years ago... No fooling. That and 1.9 percent financing on a Toyota One Ton. DARRRRRRRRRREEEEEEEEENNNNNNNNN
- Interesting... VERY... interesting...
- So the father of Allison Stokke, who we revealed here on this site last week as one of the 316 women to hold the title "Hottest Women on the Planet", is a defense attorney who defends men who let's just say are perverts. So it might make sense that this guy would be a little reticent to see his daughter plastered across the internets as a sex object. I mean remember what Tony Soprano did to Phil's guy who made crude advances to his daughter Meadow. And let's just say Tony isn't quite a saint when it comes to how he treats women. In the mean time, here's an interesting game about the Sopranos from HBO.
- Imagine you are in critical condition... you need 5 organs to live
- And they are coming from Milwaukee... on a plane... and that plane crashes into Lake Michigan. I can only imagine what he/she would be saying to themselves... "It what? It crashed where??? Just tell me this... Were the organs housed in the same material as the black box??? Mother HUMPER!!!" According to HammRadio sources, the patient's name was Charlie Brown.
- Sports Guy does commercial for ESPN Classic....
- Remembering John Havlicek...
- Pop Candy talks Fast Food
- She treats us to these photos of a Fast Food products and their advertisement dopplegangers. Um... Not quite the same are they. The Filet o Fish, they can't do much to enhance that thing can they??? They might as well just put a picture of a Jesus on the cross, because Lent's the only time I see people eating that crap.
