The commander's helmet? Classic WWII US Army Tank Corps headgear, based on a football helmet.

Is that Stalker Girl riding just above the right-front tread?

[DuckofTindalos]

Yes...good point. Here is a close-up. The chap looks vaguely familiar.

Something else anachronistic too.

[DuckofTindalos]

Heh... Dukakis... Is it the headlamps?

It's the "rat"...he or she turned green in Burma[:)]

[DuckofTindalos]

Mold, probably...[:D]

Now that you mention it, I think I already knew that...

[BrucePowers]

Why Mike Dukakis?

And you did't answer my first question[:)]

You don't remember Michael Dukakis riding around in a tank (looking silly) as a electioneering stunt? Probably cost him 1,000,000 votes on election day... [X(] [8|] [:D]

[BrucePowers]

Oh yeah, now I do.[:)]

You mean apart from the bed rolls that have been pasted onto the picture?

Bed rolls??? I will have you know some Allosaurus gave his all to make those "rolls".

Haha...think of the sound effects. "Shake, rattle and roll" is invented a little earlier in this parallel universe. [:D]

******Joint Working Group on Silly or Simply Annoying Operation Names, October 15, 1942, Washington********

Adm. King: <scanning list> Good Lord! These are terrible. I think we have quite a good list of bad names here.

Gen. Marshall: I agree, Admiral. My hope is we will purge the Armed Forces of the United States of pointless or saccharine operation names. I think the Working Group has made quite a start. <also looks at list> For example, "Manhattan" good, "Poughkeepsie" bad. <both men chuckle>

Adm. King: Yes, "Prometheus" good, "Vestal Virgin" bad. <both men chuckle again. Adm. King turns to his secretary and absent-mindedly sets down his coffee cup on the document> Sargeant, see to it this list is distributed to all commands.

So whatever happened to the femme fatale or are you avoiding the question?[:'(][:D]

[BrucePowers]

See above list of names.


General Vandergraft to his staff: "Gentlemen today we start planning Operation Amuck. Now get to it and remember I want you to run Amuck as efficiently as you can. Have the preliminary plans for running Amuck on my desk tomorrow morning. That is all."

I can't remember her name. I have a story idea but I can't remember her cover name [:D]

Ad Hoc Editor's Note: The staff wishes to remind readers that the abusive use of the hyphen to make an adverb out of two other parts of speech as in "Adm. King turns to his secretary and absent-mindedly sets down his coffee.." is not condoned by authorities on the matter. We are also quite sure that "mindedly" is not a proper English wor... <POOF>

It looks to me like the "enlargement" showing Mike Dukakis has the head twisted somewhat to the left of the tank commander's in the "original" (go back a page).

Probably a "dirty trick"

I was in high school when he was elected governor of Mass. A Jesuit Priest at school told the joke about a Greek mother trying to toilet train her son, who wasn't going, so she admonished him "dukakis, dukakis!"
