Question of the Hour

[geo]

Zipperhead is not exclusive to the LSH... it is exclusive to the members of the Armoured corp.
Headgear with zippers?..... that's their head!!
Big stitches (zippers) for the ORs and small stitches for the Officers.

A Zipperhead is a gentleman; courageous, honourable and intelligent (not to mention incredibly handsome). Women want to be with him and men want to be him.

Zipperheads are blessed by the by the Holy Trinity of Armour, Firepower, and Battlefield Mobility.

I don't know, but that sounds mighty fine.

I managed to keep my skull intact and away from crashing into sights and hatches, but unfortunately not from my Flatrack one day pulling out of a Hide.  ;D

(how many stitches?)

 

[George Wallace]

(three or four - those pallets aren't too soft)

 

[geo]

I have something in excess of 150 stitches.........
(bump.... bam!)

 

[George Wallace]

All of mine totalled would never match that.  Out Wrastling with a Grizzly were you?

 

[geo]

nah.....
but a certain Bailey panel had my number (and blood) all over it.

 

[Fishbone Jones]

Zippers are installed after your TQ3. It makes it easier for us to repack the sawdust. ;D

[geo]

Yup....

There was a time when laced in zippers were a popular item for combat boots...... pert much all drivers & QM types wore em..... but they were lousy support for the ankles

You laugh but my ex-husband actually tried this one on me... unfortunately for him, I grew up playing on tanks so he didn't fool me for a minute.  (hmmm... maybe there is a reason he is my EX husband! )

This is why you kept it nice and clean and in your dufflebag, to use on those weekends when you were leaguered outside a town with a Disco.

................those chilly Autumn Bavarian nights strolling back to your track...alone. 8)

Alone?  There was usually more than one of us......that is where the 'carrying handles' came in handy... ;D

Oh!  You meant 'Sans Frauline'.........maybe that was why their fathers plied us with Schnapps?  We would usually get even the next night when we plied them with CC.  ;D

Tanks liked to overlook towns at night and use the Low Light Cameras.  "Gunner.....Traverse Your Arcs!"

You laugh but my ex-husband actually tried this one on me... unfortunately for him, I grew up playing on tanks so he didn't fool me for a minute.  (hmmm... maybe there is a reason he is my EX husband! )

Ummmm!  Did he also follow the "Hundred Kilometers or the First Bridge Rule"?

 

[scoutfinch]

hmmm... is that like the "I am separated" (by a body of water)...line???
