Say Rodge,
I need to, you know, punish myself for all the bad thoughts I've had
about what I want to do with O█████ and those other MFCS████ats.
Do
you have something that will serve as penance but not leave visible
scars?
Thanks, Bob Babiarz, Chicago Try The Winter War Bob. It's
three hours of excruciating horribleness. Be the first person to
watch it all and earn a plenary indulgence.
If
you don't read the subtitles and just make dialog up in your head ...
it's still bad.

Never mind "The Winter War" (which may be worth watching, if you have THREE HOURS to kill). The "Poo-Pourri" commercial that preceded it is classic!

I was among the earliest Poo-Pourri buyers and that's why my s**t don't stink. BTW, if you ever bother to email me, I have a proposal for you.
ReplyDeleteIt's a pity Winter War isn't a better film. It was an important event in history. The USSR invaded Finland, and the Finns held out for some time. The Soviet troops were poorly lead because of recent purges, but political commissars made them press forward despite getting machine gunned in huge numbers. Some Finn machine gunners even had a physical reaction to the carnage they were dishing out, and had to be relieved.
ReplyDeleteThe Finnish Air Force ran up really awesome numbers of kills on Soviet aircraft. The Finns liked the US built Brewster F2A Buffalo, which was perhaps their most successful fighter. We used it a little too, with other results. A squadron, based on Midway, fought one battle during the battle of Midway. Not one Buffalo returned.
The Buffalo had the best score in history due to tactics and a lightened airframe. The Finns
ReplyDeleteactually won WW II for us, as their northern victory gave Hitler funny ideas on the Soviets.
Had Adolf studied the winter war instead of following his wishful thinking, he would have seen
that if the Finns had won in the north, they actually lost very badly in the south of Finland,
in conditions similar to what prevailed on the Eastern Front.
When Hitler came to Finland to beg Mannerhein to join in the war, the Finn wisely refused,
knowing by experience that Stalin's hordes were unbeatable.
Which gave us the "White Death" PBUH
