Only 65 shopping days until Munitions Eve

With Munitions Day fast approaching, shoppers are scrambling to find just the right explosive for their friends and loved ones. There are now just 65 days, 16 hours until the crack of Midnight on Munitions Eve - when the gunpowder will have been laid by the fireplace with care, and the grenades will have been carefully strung by their pins on a dynamite fuse tied oh so carefully into a bow.

You can just hear the squeals from the children when they crawl from under their beds and go scampering into the basement to see what Rupture Carp has brought them. Look, an unexploded bunker-buster! A shrapnel tattoo for Timmy! And a sun-roof in the house for mom and dad! (Due to time zone differences, Munitions Day arrives earlier in Iraq).

Now, praise Rusty and pass the ammunition!

Growing up on the tough streets of Chicago, my friends and I would often shoot bottle rockets at each other; we drew the line at Roman candles though.

Coco, I'll show you how to do it at the next Rusty Sessions.

I think I may have found a video for the best Munitions Day TV special: Praise Lord and Pass the Ammunition=
