fighting with Italian weapons: Salami vs. Parmesan

Go figure. 

[TBird1958]

Nothing like beating each other with meat!

German Christmas shopping is no laughing matter. Today ze salami, tomorrow ze wörld.

[Dave W]

As long as they're not playing "hide the salami" in the aisles.

Oh, I don't think this is anything to worry about. These are  realitively short range weapons, and even then, not the kind of weapons they would use to attack a close neighbor like Poland or France . Now , if they were using a keilbasa or French bread I could understand some concern  . Thank god there was no Swiss cheese involved.

Dammit, Rick - This is the kind of thinking that got everybody into trouble the last time around. Look at that picture on the left in the news story! It looks like a smorgasbord at Jeffrey Dahmer's house! I'm telling you, they're at it again!
Wait, is that a 20/20 hanging in the background there?

Ay, Luigi... theysa wantin' more-a salami and parmasan... open the hatches...

(I certainly wouldn't want to be hit on the head by a wedge of parmasan (veggie-style) from 10,000 feet... )

Jeffrey's Mother:  Jeffrey, I don't like your friends!
Jeffrey:  That's okay ma, just eat the vegetables.

A neighbor comes over and asks to borrow some lettuce. Response: "Look in the fridge, I'm sure there must be a head in there somewhere."

Ah, Wisconsin! Ed Gein jokes are next.

What was Ed Gein's favorite snack? Lady fingers.

What a bunch of sick Basstards..................... I feel so at home here

What's the best way to view the Italian Navy?

Through a glass-bottomed boat.

A flock of Savoia Marchettis! Love them - like a Junkers 52 constructed by Italians with an eye for beauty. Not exactly the scourge of the Allies, but a pretty plane nonetheless. They supposedly did ok as Torpedo bombers where even a biplane can lethally harm a state-of-the-art battleship and pride of the German navy ...

The Brits called them "Stringbags". Did you see the special on the deep sea dive about finding the ship? Quite informative and some impressive deep sea shots!


Uwe's Answer: Yeah, I saw that. Very impressive, especially that those huge gun turrets only hung on to the ship through their sheer weight (and fell off as it capsized while sinking).

Where the remnants of the Hood ever found or was that blown to smithereens?

I had to look up who Ed Gein was. A man with some handicraft talent, though hopefully not a smoker:




So "Buffalo Bill" from The Silence of the Lambs did have some real life inspiration, you live and learn. I always thought you guys make all that up for your films.
