Drinkin Beers In The Sun

Yesterday afternoon Alan showed up at my house with a cooler full of beer and a sprinkler and we set ourselves up in my front yard. We turned the sprinkler on, unfolded the cheers, and proceeded to have a few brewskis while enjoying the beautiful April weather Florida is providing us with. This was probably the highlight of my week and I'm going to recommend it to everyone. For our northern readers, you might have to wait a few more weeks or months, but when the weather gets right, then get to it. And, I guess if you're a ninny and don't like beer then you could substitute with an appropriately summer drink like a margarita or a gin and tonic.

As a word of caution though, wear sunscreen (9 Beards).

Drinking Beers (or appropriate substitute drinks) in the sun gets 9 Beards, because it's freaking awesome and supremely relaxing.

Digital Camouflage

I've been kind of up in the air about the Military's new digital camouflage. I understood how it was more effective, since the purpose of camouflage is to break up the outline, so of course with more smaller fluctuations in color then that means it's going to be more effective. I think this had a lot to do with having never seen it in action like I've seen other forms such as the Ghillie suits utilized by Seals, Rangers, and Snipers. For those that don't know, Ghillie suits are the camouflage suits worn that make people look like big walking bog monsters. Or like this:

So, yeah. I was unconvinced about this new fangled technology until I saw this next picture, and then became completely convinced of it's effectiveness.

Digital Camouflage gets 6 Beards for being effective enough that this guys wife probably has no idea he's asleep on the couch instead of cleaning up the dog shit in the kitchen.
