Norks Launch Missile

[LongBlade]

OK, bets on who shoots it down first?

Or will it blow up in launch phase like all the others?

Wish I could find out what the name of it is so I could poke fun at it. Taepodong was just too much fun to ridicule.

[LongBlade]

Whoops. Reports are now emerging that the test may have failed.

You may imagine me wearing my shocked face.

It is unclear at this time if the launch was successful. U.S. officials tell Fox News that early indications signal the launch may have failed.

Oh noooos! Guess they should steal their technology from the Chinese, who of course got it from us. :P

I was really hoping the Japanese would get the chance to knock it down with one of their Aegis destroyers, but I guess NK would have to successfully launch it first.

I was hoping Godzilla would rise from the depths and snatch it in his mouth.

But that is probably asking for too much coolness.

[mirth]

Yeah, I forgot he was in charge of defending the home islands.

[mirth]

They really should name their next class of ships the Godzilla-class. That would be coolness.

I too was looking forward to a Japanese muscle-flexing. But not too much, you know.

That's right. Remember they killed Danny.

[Gusington]

Yeah there's Danny to think about. Not to mention Nanking, Nagasaki, Hiroshima, Fat Man, Little Boy, Unit 731 and world history from 1870-1945.

Yeah but Danny comes first.

[Gusington]

Yeah I guess he does.

[mirth]

Back to the actual topic, I'm sure that in NK they're celebrating the successful launch of their 'communication satellite'.

[OJsDad]

The US shot it down with this.  It's not really cancelled, it just went black.

Don't forget...they also unleashed Hello Kitty on an unsuspecting world.
