    I’m sure the smell from the reporter messing his pants was like field dressing a gut shot elk.

    God bless Marine Snipers

    LOL! That reminds me of a similar story about a reporter speaking with an old Finnish soldier. The reporter was asking him about shooting the enemy soldiers; some of whom were in their teens. “Do you find it difficult to kill them?” asked the reporter. “Oh, yes,” replied the old Finn, “The younger ones move faster and sometimes hide behind things.”

  8. Gravatar JJ Says

    I didn’t know there was such a thing as a Finnish soldier. :lol:

    Kinda like french soldiers, they do exist, but their purpose is unknown.

    From Full Metal Jacket:

    Door Gunner: They ougtha write a book about me.

    Private Joker: Why?

    Door Gunner: For being the greatest soldier out there? I done killed me 157 Viet-Cong and 50 water buffalo.

    Private Joker: How do you know who to shoot?

    Door Gunner: Anyone that runs, is a Viet-Cong. Anyone that stands still, is a well-disciplined Viet-Cong.

    Private Joker: Are there any women or children?

    Door Gunner: A few.

    Private Joker: How can you shoot women and children?

    Door Gunner: Easy. You lead them less.

    You climb obstacles like old people f*ck! SLOW!

  12. Gravatar .470 Nitro Says

    Oh that’s right, Private Pyle, don’t make any f**ing effort to get to the top of the f**ing obstacle. If God would have wanted you up there he would have miracled your a** up there by now, wouldn’t he?

  13. Gravatar Evan Egger Says

    BULLS***! I BET YOU COULD SUCK A GOLF BALL THROUGH A GARDEN HOSE!

  14. Gravatar me Says

    ONLY STEERS AND QUEERS COME FROM TEXAS AND YOU DONT LOOK LIKE NO STEER!!!

  15. Gravatar .470 Nitro Says

    Looks to me like the best part of you ran down the crack of your mama’s a** and ended up a brown stain on the mattress. I think you’ve been cheated!

  16. Gravatar me Says

    THIS IS MY RIFLE THIS IS MY GUN, THIS IS FOR FIGHTING THIS IS FOR FUN!!!

  17. Gravatar Chad Says

    I’m sorry me, but you were way off on the steers and queers quote. Allow me.

    Gunny: “Where you from private?”

    Private Cowboy: “Texas.”

    Gunny: “Texas?!?. Only steers and queers come from Texas, and you ain’t got not horns, so that kinda narrows it down.”

  18. Gravatar me Says

    I dont know what movie I was thinking of, but I got the two confused, there is another movie with the quote that I made, almost the exact same, but now that you say it I remember that is what Ermy said.

    JJ-once again……..you relish in the sweet state of not knowing anything. Let me tell u about the finns u finnish racist sassa-frass!

    In the late winter of 1939 the Soviet union had by far the largest army in the world. In they’re seeking of buffer zones against the growing capitolist and facist threat they sought after 2 finnish provinces north of Leningrad, -Viipuri and Sortavala. The defiant finns rejected the Soviet Ultimatum and decided to fight. The Soviet forces crossed the border the next week in numbers nearing 1.3 million(81 divisons) with tanks and an unlimited amount of planes. Not to mention the 245 divisions lying in wait to get there chance to get into the fight. The finns had nine divisions……..:neutral:. Using molotov cocktails on tanks and ski troops to sweep into they’re flanks the finns killed over half a million soviet troops and even captured whole divisions…..and they did it over the course of 2 months of wave after wave of Soviet troops. The only reason the finns had to give up was because of huge hunger problems all over the country. It wasn’t because they could’nt kick ass anymore. So Technically no army in the world has ever accomplished anything greater on the battlefield. That means that the finns are really the toughest soldiers in the world.

    Anybody that doesn’t know they’re history is part of an alliance of nazi french bastards who are destroying the nation

    P.S. I really don’t give a damn about the finns……I just like pissing JJ off with my superior skills:cool: So when is mud and guns 2 gonna be ready, do we still need more footage?

  20. Gravatar Chad Says

    I’m pretty sure that we need more footage, and the finns can sit on my face.

  21. Gravatar JJ Says

    RW, your fat and ugly and becuase of that I will be your friend. You make me feel better about myself.

    And as far as Mud N Guns II is concerned: we need more footage. I also think we need some scripted stuff too. I wanted to take some pics and never did it either. We just didn’t have enough time up there cuz Chad is so friggin slow. He was movin like pond water. Also, I have to go to the doctor because my hearing in my left ear isn’t back yet. Take heed all ye gunslingers: WEAR EARPLUGS WHEN YOU SHOOT! I forgot mine and subsequently I will be learning sign language to communicate with the rest of society.

  22. Gravatar Chad Says

    dang. I didn’t think it was that bad. I mean… I’ll get a bit of a ring in my ear now and again. but i don’t lose hearing. :???:

  23. Gravatar JJ Says

    I think it was the straw that broke the camels back… all that hardcore music I have bombarded my eardrums with over the years. It sucks, it feels like I am under water. I m gunna be that annoying old man that always yells, “WHAT? WHAT? SPEAK UP SONNY!”

  24. Gravatar Stevil Says

    Can someone send me a quicktime or mpeg version of Mud n’ Guns I, cos I can’t get past the opening titles on the existing link, it starts buffering then freezes… please!

  25. Gravatar Chad Says

    Stevil - Try right clicking this link, and selecting “save as”. that way it’ll download completely to yer machine, and won’t have to buffer.

  26. Gravatar Badass(Roadwarrior) Says

    :shock:Dude JJ………I am fat and ugly………but u are short and my mom said u look like your 12. And because of that I would take a bullet to the face for u. Its to bad ur sissy ears can’t take the manly sound of gunpowder. U should stop listening to ur Hardcore Rap music. G-G-G-Get some balls.

    “Straight outta Compton! Crazy motha f—er named ice cube! In a band called niggas with attitude! poor a-s nigga got it bad cus I’m brown! Thats right…….cus I’m straight outta Compton!” -Ice Cube
