Junior Missilemen


You think the newsreel is scary, take a look at the manual. I had a copy of this when I was a boy and it's a wonder I survived to manhood without acquiring an eye patch and a hook.

Good times.

    Today, they'd all be rounded up by Homeland Security. Hell, the current administration doesn't even want NASA to play with rockets.

    There was once a time when the Jart was not only invented, but sold as a toy. It was a better time, a time before the lawyers had gotten a hold of the country.

    Sergej,
    Sounds like what happened to chemistry sets. The budding science geek kids used to have all kinds of toys like that to explore the real world with.

    You only have fun until someone loses an eye; argal, if the thing ends with everybody's eyes intact, fun must not have been had.

    Analogously, what kinds of fun must be possible when impalement is a possibility!

Rules for submitting comments:

1. No profanity. I maintain the pretense that this is a family-friendly site.

2. Stay on topic. A bit of straying and off-hand commenting is okay, but hijacking the discussion is right out.

3. No ad hominem attacks. Attack the subject, not the other person on the thread and keep the discussion civil.

4. No spamming or commercial endorsements. These get deleted immediately.

Tip: Beware of putting hyperlinks in your comments–especially at the end. For some reason, Blogger interprets these as spam.

Note: Due to the recent spate of anonymous spamming, registration for comments is now required.
