A gift to our dear Gentleman Jesse as he travels off to Dublin in search of Adventure. Please feel free to consult this before deciding whether or not to abandon your plans:

I’m quite happy with how this picture turned out, mostly because of the explanation I got when I presented it to the other Gentlemen. Someone mentioned matter-of-factly what was happening in the picture, at which point an entire discussion occured regarding what everyone else thought was going on. No two people had the same answer and that was exactly what I wanted out of this. So please, if you enjoy this piece, feel free to post your first thoughts on what you believe is happening in this picture. Doesn’t have to be epic or poetic, I just really love to hear the story that people come up with in their heads when they look at this.
Sorry for the lack of artwork on the site so far. My recent schedule had made it difficult to get these done as regularly as I’d wanted to. Still, here’s the latest piece and it’s even vaguely related to our latest adventure: guns!
I profiled this amazing little piece of Cold War history recently, as those who have already listened to our Guns & Ammo meeting know, but I wanted to go ahead and put up some pics of it as well. After the jump is the full text of that profile as well as some additional pictures of this bad idea just waiting to happen.
It also occurred to us after the podcast that this portable nuke launcher (which was quite capable of killing its own operators) was named after Davy Crockett. A man who died in a hopeless last stand at the Alamo… Whether this name was intended to draw parallels between that moment and the use of this weapon is unknown, but frightening nonetheless.
As promised on our Slapdashery podcast, Jesse and I have come up with a graph for the possible outcomes of slapdashing. We hope you find it helpful in deciding what in your day to day life could use less planning.
