Pentagon officials have confirmed that they once developed plans for a weapon that would cause enemy soldiers to become gay.First considered in 1994, the proposal suggested using chemicals to "induce" homosexuality. In theory, the soldiers would become ineffective fighters due to their sudden attraction to one another. Officials say they are not ( Read more... )

That song brings back memories.

The first time I heard it was at my supervisors small X-Mas party. It was her, her boyfriend, myself, my roomie Jenny, and our friend Kevin.

Her boyfriend put on their record and skipped right to that track, "Ya gotta hear this guys!"

It was also the first time I heard anything by Modest Mouse. He put on one of their old records after that one...

Her boyfriend's name is Richard Loven. I swear to Jebus... Dick Loven. Man, we had fun with our supervisor after meeting him.

Now they're engaged and living in Seattle.

Whoa dude. That's an inspired tangent right there.

...of the article i read about the gay bomb was:

"The Ohio Air Force lab proposed that a bomb be developed that contained a chemical that would cause enemy soldiers to become gay, and to have their units break down because all their soldiers became irresistably attractive to one another," Hammond said after reviewing the documents.

I can't imagine anyone ever saying/writing that with a straight face... maybe they meant it to be funny...

From farm boys to Tom of Finland pin-ups in booty shorts in under 10 seconds.
God bless the U.S. military.

Only in war; during peace time they go home to their bomb wives.

Tee hee. No, I hadn't, but it's so appropriate I might just have to amend this entry so others see it and it doesn't get lost in the comments. ;)

The longing glances at one another make me tear with laughter every time I see them.

Clearly, these numbnuts have never taken a fucking Western Civ class. From a history website: Sparta, even with its relatively free women, had homosexual relationships built into the structure of the training all young Spartan men received. And those dudes kicked ass - the idea being that if the men are 'bonded' - er, take that as you will - they're going to fight twice as hard to protect each other.

Gay bombs. Heh.
