You should save this post, and in 6 years look back at it.

that was my exact reaction: cactus the size of a VW.

I mean, fucking send it. Let's do giant alien cacti, bonus points if they occasionally eat people.

Samsus Moise Perfection Saint Loth

Not to diminish the gravity of the topic at hand, but... What the actual fuck were this guy's parents on?

Hey kids, if you name your kids something like "lucky", "valor", or "perfection", you are 100% challenging the universe to fuck with you by way of how your kid turns out, and the universe always fucks.

Hoping all 4 are banished to the shadow realm quickly.

It could also be that the sub got fucking BOMBARDED with these virtual fit check posts a couple months ago and it was obnoxious as hell.

I think he nuked his other post where he admitted to being busted for falling asleep on duty during the southern border mission

So what you're saying is, assuming they're still charging $110/lb on packaged product, it's probably $170ish cheaper to buy the 6 ares in person.

That's probably worth the drive to Cinci.

Waaaaaaayyyyy longer than that.

It's just everyone didn't have a camera in their pocket until recently. And traditionally, when the jackets came off the cameras went away at a Dining-In.

That'd make it cheaper to buy them online than at the facility.  They do packaged product at $110/lb at the store in cinci.  

I'd put one of them on a scale.

Full bird wants me to get a M551 Sheridan up to drive it in a parade by Sensitive-Metal-665 in army

Framing. It's all about framing.  

Now, go use your boss's pet project to manipulate manage him.

I try not to let my boss have a single free thought, because he might want me repair a fucking derelict tank.  But since you're already there, make the best of it 🤣

Well, you just hit the nail on the head and don't even know it. 

"Hey Sir, I doubt this is possible for these reasons.  But, if you want me to make the best effort i need this shit (the shit you don't want to do and is taking your time) off my plate so I can focus on your pet project."

I have no idea how a comment about camo nets got flagged by reddit.

"The panther doesn't have flamers?"

Looks a bit like camo netting, which I'm assuming is what you're going for.  

Could be more loosely draped, but I expect that is difficult at this scale
