OK, it's a statue and not functional, but you'd totally want this as a lawn ornament, wouldn't you?

If you could make it so that the top "turret" could track movement, THAT would make an excellent addition to my front yard.

Very cool.  If WWII had had mechs in it, this is what they would've looked like.

The Cult were soooooo not a hair metal band.  And "Fire Woman" is sooooooo not a power ballad.


go sit in a corner!  >:(

The Cult (AKA Southern Death Cult, or Death Cult) had some good songs, no argument. Sonic Temple was in my car's cassette deck for quite a while.

There were defintely some 80's metal bands predating the Cult that worked the word 'Fire!' into their songs. Back in my time in EMS we used to joke about yelling it into an open mic. Maybe I'll troll through youtube later and find a few.



EDIT: autocorrect is really pissing me off. Not even amusing corrections, just lame.  >:(
