Somebody alert Tim the Yowie Man, because Yowies now have assault weapons.

They resemble the swamp thingy that starred in one episode of The Nightstalker.

that you, cousin Itt?

Ha! I just met the actor who played Cousin Itt at a convention a couple of weeks ago...

But my reaction to the photo is: GET A HAIRCUT, YA DAMN HIPPIES!

Those must be the female snipers.

Chewbacca??

So, isn't it, like, 178 degrees in Iran? I'm sure the snipers will be comfy in their fuzzy coats.
(You can find them because they'll be lying under sprinklers)

Allen, you are such a nerd! I met the American Werewolf(David Naughton) at one ;-P (ok..it was a Horror film convention).

Siouxie, are you a Pepper, too?

KASHYYYK -- A new Wookiee defense force made its first public appearance today...

Ugh. Not a Pepper...but loved his "Making It" disco song ;-P

Are they there to enforce Sharia law, or Ape law?
Posted by: KJP | April 23, 2009 at 09:56 AM
These could also work as winter burqas.
Posted by: Siouxie | April 23, 2009 at 09:58 AM
Those must be the reject snipers since they are carrying AK-47s, which are not very accurate.
Posted by: Snarky Comment | April 23, 2009 at 10:04 AM
They must be smoking themselves over there.
Posted by: Margaritaville | April 23, 2009 at 10:25 AM
They don't want the goats to see them coming.

Is this the Iranian version of the Chia Pet?
Posted by: nursecindy | April 23, 2009 at 11:12 AM
Doesn't make for a great action film when our soldiers defeat the Iranian infantry by hosing them down with RoundUp weed killer.

A Ghillie suit is a Ghillie suit, no matter who's wearing it. (And one can be yours for the low, low price of about $100.)
And they better hope those suits work really well, because they won't be sniping much of anything besides the broad side of a barn out beyond ~300 yards using an AK with a 40-round banana mag.

Besides the AK-47s, does anyone else see the oddity of bushy woodland Ghillie suits in the desert?
Curiously, the "How not to be seen" skit is running through my head.

She is there. She stopped shaving.
Posted by: Horace LaBadie | April 23, 2009 at 12:35 PM
Those ghille suits might explain the many sitings of Big Foot in the South.
Posted by: Margaritaville | April 23, 2009 at 12:46 PM
Chris I think 300 is a stretch with an AK. More like 100 yards with no wind.
Posted by: DaninIA | April 23, 2009 at 01:43 PM
AK-47 are a weapon of choice because they can be (and are) dropped, slammed, dirty, greasy, and soaked--and still work. One of the closest-to-idiotproof guns ever made, which is why they're popular in lands of idiots.
Posted by: Allen at Division | April 23, 2009 at 01:56 PM
Never looked better. Just don't let them get in the way of the Lawn Rangers. Dead clippings.
Posted by: Loudmouth | April 23, 2009 at 04:24 PM
What do you call a pissed off Wookie with an Ak-47?
Boss.
