They'd better keep practicing until they hurt someone, d@mmit!

Well, thank God the jet landed safely! Wouldn't want something falling out of the sky, would we?
What? They dropped a what?
Oh. Never mind.

i'm so thrilled to be living here. we have the worlds largest navy base and all the bombers and jet fighters anyone would ever want. makes me feel so secure. used to be i'd worry about the terrorists targeting this area. now i'm worried about us targeting this area. i'm thinking about moving to the Dakota area or maybe even farther north.

Wickedwitch --
Before you move, check to see if anyone in the Air Force misplaced a nuclear weapon nearby. Supposedly they don't stray into Canada, but you can't always believe the press coverage when we invade a country.

But the Navy didn't say whether alcohol was involved.
We need to know these things.

Just a little warning shot to remind the rebs that the South will not actually rise again.

And now I bet they find out Virginia,indeed, did not have any weapons of mass destruction.

SNORK@Lizzy. i feel so secure right now. i'm directly under the Langley AFB flight path, not to mention the local airport is only 3 miles away. i'm starting to think that Chicken Little was correct. The sky IS falling.
Posted by: wickedwitch | October 31, 2007 at 03:07 PM
Navy = boats. Something is very wrong.

My great aunt lives in VA Beach and is right under the flight path to Oceana. She hates it--you can't hear yourself think half the time. But then she remembers that those noises mean we're safe then she tolerates it. Based on my last visit there, I'd wonder if the bomb came from a plane or if it was part of a gang fight.
Also, Wicked, before you move north remember: your nose hairs freeze up here. Frequently.
That is all.

OY! That is so very true. Your snot freezes, too. And God help you if you have pierced ears and forget to NOT wear earrings. OW OW OW!

Can I investigate the pilot? Please! I'll be happy to do a breath test and in-depth probing into this disaster...... for the good of the country, of course.
Posted by: Meditrina | October 31, 2007 at 03:20 PM
Med, you tramp!
(can I do the co-pilot?)
Posted by: Very Easy Cowgirl Siouxie | October 31, 2007 at 03:22 PM
Yeah, you ... um ... "bad" girls!
(I once got to fly an F-4 Phantom ... wanna investigate me?)
As to the "practice" bomb ... mebbe they wuz merely "practicing" to set up a "practice" investigation, by "practice" investigators"?

"Minutes later France surrenders"
While Italy rushes to the aid of the victors.
Posted by: pogo | October 31, 2007 at 03:35 PM
Med - not sure if you'd want him. I heard that he has the same 'oopsie-bomb' problem at home. IYKWIM.
Posted by: Annie Where-but-awoooooooo!!!! | October 31, 2007 at 03:40 PM
Annie, the American Navy is the World's second strongest Air Force.
Posted by: Edgar Greenberg | October 31, 2007 at 03:43 PM
thanks for the warning gjd, i have multiple piercings that i really don't want to have freeze up on me, IYKWIMAITYD. possibly i'll have to reconsider a move farther south.
Posted by: wickedwitch | October 31, 2007 at 03:47 PM
You dropped a bomb on me, baby. You dropped a bomb on me.....
What? Just practicin' for the "investigation."
Posted by: Meditrina | October 31, 2007 at 03:48 PM
EG - then they should shower more often.
Posted by: Annie Where-but-awoooooooo!!!! | October 31, 2007 at 03:54 PM
If the Navy were smarter, they would have little tags on their bombs that say "If found, please return to ___________".

Just curious.... Was Slim Pickens seen anywhere in the area?

Those navy pilots and their Halloween pranks...
Posted by: Just Ducky | October 31, 2007 at 04:08 PM
Thank God! At least it wasn't the Air Force this time.
Posted by: blurk | October 31, 2007 at 04:19 PM
Given some of the kids I knew when I was in Annapolis I could probably put together a list of suspects for those investigators.

Thanks, O the U!
I was starting to wonder if anyone got that....
Such a great scene!
Posted by: Adult Delinquent | October 31, 2007 at 05:39 PM
I have a story about a Navy practice bomb. I'll spare you, this time, if you give me lots of candy.
Posted by: CJrun away! | October 31, 2007 at 05:42 PM
Well, thank god it was inert. Now what the
#%$# does inert mean anyhow?
Posted by: Kathybear | October 31, 2007 at 06:08 PM
It's like an innie, kathy, which we all know is better than an outie. :-)
Posted by: Eleanor | October 31, 2007 at 06:12 PM
[practice bombs have a small charge that (theoretically) allows fliers or cameras to spot where they landed; I wouldn't stand next to one, but they aren't hugely explosive; inert doesn't seem like the right word]
