Because it's Iran Defense Week, their military was on parade to show their strength.


Ahmadinejad claimed there were no gay men in the country. Perhaps, but a lot of them resemble Lady Gaga (Scoopy joke).


Uniforms obviously designed to defeat the imperialistic American Gladiator.


That is one impressive color guard.


Iranian offensive strategy altered after consultation with the French Military attache.


Uniforms changed again after Chilean Dictator Fashion Show on E!

A Story Without Words

I can't imagine being disfigured as an adult. I've read articles and seen pictorials of veterans wounded in the war and losing a limb or being disfigured by fire. And then those soldiers coming home to their fiancĂ©es to be married. Go »

Christmas Post # 18: It's The Force, Not An Empty Box

My brother is a collector of sorts. He has various bits of Civil War memorabilia, Washington Redskins gear, and science fiction flotsam from Star Trek and Star Wars. If these toys actually existed, he'd be one of the first in line. Go »
