In this case, I'll give you the two previous pieces in context with each other and add another element. whatziss22.jpg

Some sort of Landship, WW I era.

Soviet Armored Train.

 Looks real Panzer-ish. Like an early cousin to the LKII Cavalry Tank.

 Hmmmm... perhaps we need input from Baroness. She'll be at my place in a few hours for a Gang of Reprobates confab. We shall consult.   *Before* we crack the JD...

There was some sort of ginormous Russian(?) aircraft with something like 12-16 engines mounted pull-push fashion that had lots of armament.  Don't remember more than that.

Knowing John, it is probalby something entirely different, but that's my guess.

John (Not The Armorer):

That was one of my early thoughts but, it does not look right.

Why? The answers that pop up *after* are a lot funnier.

OH! OH! OH!

I know!

It's that thing that does that stuff in that place where things get done by stuff!

What'd I win?

Mind you, DJ  - I *wish* that multi-turreted fortress plane had existed!  It would have made a B36 seem small...

 It's strange, dangerous, and incomprehensible.

Early amphibious assualt vessel.

Or perhaps a armed, hedge penetrating, vehicle.

Though the thought of  an older, huge, bug smasher does have a certain appeal.

Whatever, this ones a good one John.

We did such a thorough J.D.-crack that we forgot to look at the pic. A couple of medics showed up for an abuse-of-booze-ahol report, but they were real sluggish from a previous call, and the next thing we knew,  we all were trying to land rubber bands & Scrunchies atop the Burmese opium weights while looking through a rear-view mirror.

*shrug*

The Baroness flings a mean Scrunchie.

...while looking through a rear-view mirror.

Doesn't the metal plate on the back kinda make that difficult?

"The Baroness flings a mean Scrunchie."

Does that mean there are nice Scrunchies?  And where, exactly, is the line drawn between a nice and a mean Scrunchie?  Inquiring minds, yanno.....
