You should see the other guy.

Photos of an A-10 Thunderbolt II (better known as a the Warthog) after returning from a mission over Iraq. From the size of these bullet holes, I think that this damage was done by small-caliber weapons.

The Warthog is amazing. During the Gulf War, one had an engine shot off and still returned to base. and one more...

On the left is the pilot of this bird.. a fermale USAF Captain. The guy on her right is her wingman. Her call sign is "Killer Chick" Gotta love it.

Because I'm in a silly mood

A Norse is a Norse, of course, of course,
And no one can vike with a Norse of course,
That is, of course, unless the Norse is the famous
Mthir Red.

Go right to the source and bug the Norse,
He'll give you a thwack and then take your horse,
He's always on the job of course,
Vike with Mthir Red.

Picts all hackity hack alike and make themselves a pain,
But Mthir Red will ever vike as long as there's loot to be gained.

A Norse is a Norse, of course, of course,
And no one should ever unlock their doors,
Unless they're on the run, of course, from the famous
Mthir Red.

So stay on your course and flee the Norse,
or else he'll take all your stuff by force,
The vikings everywhere endorse,
"Vike with Mthir Red."

Every one of the ealdormen look down upon the thane,
But Mthir Red will make them spend their gold again
and again.

A Norse is a Norse, of course, of course,
And this one'll kick you right in the torse,
That is, unless you pay, of course, pay to Mthir Red.

But if'a you want a refresher course,
on ways to turn all your foes to fourths,
or grant yourself a quick divorce,
Vike with Mthir Red.

Jutes and Angles and Saxons storming up and down the lanes,
could never equal Mthir Red, the baddest one of the Danes.

A Norse is a Norse, of course, of course,
And this one'll vike without remorse,
You never heard of this viking Norse?

Well listen to this,

I am Mthir Red...THWACK!!!
