Backfires, Kitchens and Vegetarians

[CaptCarnage]

Decades ago this gear was airborne and possibly armed with nukes - but today there's beer and food sold next to them!
It's quite fitting the food is sold next to a Kitchen, I suppose

Its a shame and they're in a real spot now.

Well thankfully I never had to "brace for impact" when I was in the Navy, due to a load of these mothers coming for us. What made it worse, was that I would play Harpoon in the library in my off time, and then we'd have general quarters drills and it would all get a little too real, sometimes. I mean, I'm in a canary suit with a gasmask, or a steamsuit down in the plant, and I'm leaning over something or holding onto a rail with my knees bent, thinking about a few of these monstrous things coming, and the long swim home...

Ah brace for impact, I'd nearly forgotten the 'bent knees, mouth open and wait'. I wonder how much difference that would have made if my FFG or MHC got hit by a Kitchen or Sunburn.
