Mom ships 80,000 cans of Silly String to troops
Evidently, they can use it to shoot across a room they're about to enter to check for trip wires and whatnot. I never would have thought of that.

Iraq: war torn. Devastated. FUCked up beyond belief.
And yet - festive!

In a time of universal deceit, telling the truth is a revolutionary act.
Interesting, Moms funding our lil war.

Well it just amuses me that you *KNOW* they've spent a ton of money on some high-tech laser-beam technology that doesn't work. What works? Silly string.
And they'd know that if they'd just asked.

Heh. I liked the military's response. "Ummm... thanks and all, but..."

Lt. Col. Christopher Garver, a military spokesman in Iraq, said recently that Shriver's efforts are appreciated, but that commanders decide which items troops need. He said the spray was used heavily in the early stages of the conflict but is not as widely needed today.
"If commanders on the ground are screaming that we need this stuff, we'll get it to them," Garver said.

Kinda like the armored plating on the Humvees I guess.
Some people are like slinkies, they aren't really good for anything, but they still bring a smile to your face when you push them down the stairs.
OMG, silly string is highly flamable. WHAT WAS SHE THINKING????
What's bred in the bone will not out of the flesh.
I love the smell of Silly Strings in the morning...

But since the string comes in an aerosol can, it is considered a hazardous material
Dunno why this made me laugh :P

No, more like, moms trying to help keep their sons and daughters safe. It's back to the old argument: you can support the troops without agreeing with the war.

we all know liberals are well adjusted american citizens who only want what's best for society. While conservatives are evil money grubbing scum who only want to sh*t on the little man and rob the world of its resources.
old news, the only thing new is she finally found a company that would ship the silly string as most were classifying it as "hazardous material" stupid companies.

Anybody ever see that footage of a party where the guests where spraying silly string on the birthday girl when they brought out the birthday cake with the candles blazing? String caught on fire, spread the girl and flash! /shudder
