Who's Denny Crane?

I brain-dumped most of that stuff when I got out and that was five years ago. I'm glad I remember that much. Thanks Knight26 on the correction on the history. One of those "you hear it once ten years ago and try to remember it now" kind of things. I'm surprised I got that much right.

Some info on radiation from my Navy days. What we commonly think of as radiation takes several forms which are designated as alpha, beta, gamma, and neutron. Alpha radiation is radioactive helium that is to say a helium ion. Alpha radiation must be ingested/inhaled to be harmful. Alpha radiation is particulate and can be stopped by the layer of dead skin on the body. Beta radiation is free electrons. Beta radiation can penetrate the dead skin layer, but since it is relatively low energy cannot penetrate a thicker material such as clothing. Again, beta radiation is commonly a inhalation/ingestion hazard as long as you don't go running around in your underwear in the radiation zone. Gamma radiation is photonic radiation. Low to high energy photons or gammas can pass through the body. High density material, such as lead, can shield from gamma radiation, but not completely. Neutron radiation is simply that: free neutrons. Fast neutrons actually do less damage than thermal neutrons since fast neutrons tend to pass through very quickly whereas slower thermal neutrons "stumble" through the body. Nuclear fusion exhibits neutron radiation, although I can't remember if it is fast or thermal. Nuclear fission exhibits both fast and thermal neutron radiation. If radiation was cookies, you'd hold the alpha cookie in your hand, put the beta cookie in your pocket, eat the gamma cookie (because it'll pass right through anyways so you might as well enjoy the taste) and throw the neutron cookie as far away as possible then run the other direction. On a side note: IIRC, the Air Force experimented with a nuclear fission powered aircraft back in the late 1950's, but after the deadly SL-1 accident in January 1961, along with the weight of the lead shielding and the fact that the plane had the potential of radioactive emissions in an accident, it was abandoned.

I'd bet it'll come out shortly after dubbed Macross. They'll pr'ly skip Southern Cross, as the people that cared in the first place seem to be very few. 339310[/snapback] Don't let 1st Border Red Devil hear you say that.

You knew it was inevitable, so I got it out of the way.

Guys, lighten up on SaveRobotech. He's just trying to offer his access to all things Macross to anyone outside of Japan who might be looking for something, which is the exact opposite of what HG wants to allow. That is sufficient in my book to acknowledge that he's not a BankofKev clone. Now I know why I take longer and longer "vacations" from this board: nonsense like what I've seen here. As for the original post: I no longer collect anything Macross related. I even stopped buying Macross model kits, which has been a quarterly habit for me since 2003. So I don't have any Holy Grails. Except Monty Python and the Holy Grail, I have that.

This is just my $0.02, but I think we all need to take a deep breath before a moderator comes along and locks this thread. It's only a cartoon and there's no point in calling each other names over it. So what if HG screws up the continuity of their one big production? It's not like it hasn't happened before in other series. There's no use getting in a big pi$$ing match over whether this is this or that is that. In through nose out the mouth, in through nose out the mouth. There, don't you feel better? Now, back to our regularly scheduled dump on HG, already in progress.

A picture is worth a thousand words. Almost as bad as the Speedo Max Lebatar.

It's interesting that this seller is offering not only a 5-foot tall Max VF-1J statue but Victoria's Secret underwear so you can dress him up.

I never get that far

Maybe 95% but not all garbage

Not to mention nausia, dizziness, and possible pre- and post-cognitive hallucinations 334110[/snapback] That explains the pink: Lick Hunter OD'd on Pepto Bismol. Pepto Bismol To The Rescue!!!!!!!!!!!

Just as long as Tony Oliver and Reba West have absolutely nothing at all to do with the dub, I'll be happy.

And why are they running around in footie pyjamas?

I used to have MW as my start page, but now it's just bookmarked. I currently have Christian Fletcher's website as my homepage at work and My Armoury's website at home.

Don't mind me if I stand way over here, OK? Out of the flightpath for any approaching crap.

Or his role in Bram Stoker's Dracula.

Explain 322652[/snapback] I don't know about Agent ONE, but I don't like them either because they are union. Not that you can avoid it much. IIRC, UPS had a good thing going awhile back. They held lots of contracts with companies across the US for shipping. In 1997, UPS (Teamsters) union decided that the employees were "overworked" and demanded that UPS management hire many new employees (meaning more money in the Teamsters' coffers, BTW). UPS management said something along the lines of, "Go do something anatomically impossible to yourselves." On August 4, 1997, UPS Teamsters union went on strike, sending 185,000 people home nationwide. During the 16-day strike, UPS lost all those fat contracts due to no manpower to handle the workload. UPS management capitulates and hires new employees, but with no workload for them to handle anymore due to the lost contracts. The CEO lost his job over the whole thing. Two years later, UPS goes publicly traded. No, I don't like unions. The state of Maryland forced me into a union once and I got to watch my hard earned dollars go to line someone else's pockets. Bad enough that the Fed's and the the state tax me, why should a union tax me too?

I don't buy action figures.

I assume that this is the Albion Armorers of Wisconsin sword. If so, a review of the sword can be found here. Conan the Barbarian Atlantean All the Conan swords offered by Albion can be found on their Film Swords website at www.filmsword.com/conan Be warned, they are all expensive.

I was assuming GobotFool was already familiar with Macross. Being that this is Macross World and all. 316885[/snapback] I figured as much LOL

I'm surprised no one mentioned SDF Macross.

You forgot one option. The "I don't have cable, satellite, or even good old-fashioned antenna-received TV so I won't be watching it anyways" option. I guess I would probably be the only one to vote in that catagory. I'm sure you all will let me know how craptacular it is, once again proving that there is nothing good on TV.

Hey, it could be worse. It could be the Smurfs. Wait-a-minute, it is worse. The Smurfs in 2008
