Happy Bastille Day

[El Matador]

I asked my very good French friend what is the proper way to celebrate Bastille Day.

Apparently, you run around surrendering to everyone and sucking at football.

What were we talking about??

[cyrus buelton]

I wish I could access and post that video from liveleak of the french army testing a new shoulder fired missile system and when the rocket comes out of the tube, it just drops to the ground in front of them.

I would put their training up against MEUs -- same class, same kind of dedication.

Didn't Cherub Rock join the French Foreign Legion or at least try?

Gawd, that's a name I haven't heard in forever. Anyone still talk to him?

He had a brief stint on sportbikes.net with all of us that got kicked off the DML and then he was on the CDC for a while.


I can't recall why he disappeared..............actually...........



I think he joined the Airforce and passed the flight training entrance exam and wanted to be a helicopter pilot.

Again, this was a few years ago, so my memory is a bit foggy on it.

IIRC, he tried the French thing, but quit. Then got admitted into the Army and was trying to be a choppa pilot. Heven't heard since then. Definitely not the route that I would have expected from him...but good luck to him!

That's right, but I think he got injured in the French deal, I can't see what whacko quitting. He is pretty nuts.
