Read All Things Must Fight To Live (I disremember the author's name). The author spent some months deep in the Congo during the truly bad times earlier this century... apparently, the Congolese gunboys (his term) wore gaudy outfits such as prom dresses and women's apparel to signify they were the hardened killers of the bunch. And they proved it any time the opportunity arose- which was as often as they wished.
A good book, if a bit hard for Western sensibilities.

Not exactly off-topic:  OMG! we, both of us, forgot to celebrate Saint Barbara's Day, which was last Saturday, I believe.

Maybe we can make up for it at Christmas with some kabooms and that wonderful black powder smell, as well as indulging the acquired taste for the smokeless powder smell.  I swear, every time a car drives by with wrongly-adjusted emission controls, and its exhaust smells like smokeless-powder combustion products, I just go sigh! and awww!

P.s. I'm the same way with Chinese restaurants. Somehow, the waft from their exhaust fans smells very like half-burnt glow fuel from model airplane engines, one of my earlier smell memories. (prolly the castor oil)  It's been too long; all my scars from propeller cuts have long since healed. 

If you've never had a nice sharp nylon prop kick back on your finger in cold weather after having primed the motor too much, with glow fuel in the cut, you haven't experienced all the fun there is in model airplanes.

4 December, JTG.  You may have forgotten.  I didn't. I just didn't write about it.

And yes, I have a few of those nicks on my fingers and know the smell whereof you type.

I still have the scars from nearly losing my thumb on the metal blade of the fan I was using for my science fair wind tunnel project.  However, the patch of hair on my head did grow back.....after a while.

There is entirely too much fairy talk around here.

For 1idvet:

They're just getting used to the new military that SecDef is so anxious to develop:
