Kinda tells you about the conditions and hazards of being on a U-boat.

I read the book, the title escapes me,but there was a big swastika on the cover, about how the nazis were sending their subs off the coast of the US and basically having a shooting gallery with our supply ships. The author went into detail about the cramped and crowded conditions of the U-boats of the time. Given a choice, I guess I would choose the Kami-kaze pilot and just fly back to base saying, Sorry! I missed!'

Hey, spammy, I gave you fecund fucks your own thread. Son of a whore, I wish ONE of you miserable pieces of shit would just post NEWS TOPICS OF THE DAY. I'd let you include your Google Bombs in your signatures and everything if you'd do ONE USEFUL SERVICE.

Jesus Christ, you lazy fucks really are the worst humans of the 21st Century.

My top five are probably, as of 2010:

1. Brick
2. Chasing Amy
3. Get Lamp (uncut main feature)
4. Re-Animator
5. Sunshine

And really, I love Sunshine BECAUSE it turned into a cheesy slasher flick at the end. I'd like that noted on the official record.

The other five would be some combination of Solaris (Clooney), The Fountain, Highlander, Wrath of Khan and Shaun of the Dead.

Wait. Shit. I said Sunshine is better than Wrath of Khan. That can't be. FUCK. I don't know what to think any more.

Sorry Ben, the MST3K-ing of your comments was just too good to pass up.

Speaking of MSTing it, I missed adding ICJ's remark, "Why don't I put it in and we see what happens"!

1. You'd be horribly disgraced and expected to commit hari-kari.
2. Your plane would not be given enough fuel to return.
3. You can't even get out as the planes were so tight they were almost sealed in. They had to be helped in.

You do not want to do that.

I can't believe The Usual Suspects isn't in this list; I mean, the twist ending is even better than that in Fight Club, it rivals the twist endings in some really great old movies like Psycho and Citizen Kane.

Unlike Fight Club, once you know the twist in Usual Suspects, there's no reason to watch it again.

pinback doesn't have an iPhone. How much is Silent Hunter for the iPhone? Maybe I'll buy it and let him borrow my phone for a few hours. He can also field calls.

So, I finally got the American Express card I'd been trying to get for ye- well, mon- weeks. I thought I was going to have to sign up for Malaysia Express, which is like ours because they ripped off our flag.

I have gotten a TON of calls from spammy fucks as a result. I don't know what it is, but the two times I've had this phone and gotten a different credit card, the calls just start raining down on me. Everyone involved in credit cards and banking is really the worst.

Also, has Wikileaks totally ruined that one ad for Chevy or Ford or whoever, that has the voice over from Dexter? You've probably seen the one. The Brits are lining up to shoot muskets during the Revolutionary War. And then George Washington shows up driving a Dodge or a Zenith or something. Dexter says, "Here's a couple things America got right. Cars and freedom." Haha, not any more, Dex.

I object to the preview video for that game, since it spends 80% of the time showing you shooting planes with the deck guns.

THINGS YOU REALLY ALMOST NEVER, EVER, EVER EVER DO WHILST CAPTAINING A WW2 SUBMARINE: SHOOT PLANES WITH DECK GUNS.

Shooting planes with deck guns LOOKS exciting and fun! So the advertisers would have you watch that part.
Isn't that sort of a last resort for a submarine? I believe the proper response to an airplane attack would be to get the fuck under the water as fast as possible. That maneuver, however, does not sell phone apps. It's funny how the biggest asset for a sub commander is patience. Something that is being evolved out of the human species.
