RED DAWN - AO Style
So in my infinite wisdom earlier today, prior to addictive coffee kicking in, I chose to start yet another thread about the wonders of drugs. Big mistake.
Ok, as penance, I start this new thread.
RED DAWN - AO STYLE
So, I was watching the Movie Red Dawn the other night, thinking about what I would do if this sort of thing really happened. You know, daydreaming about being a hero, getting the girl (till YD wakes me up in a pool of my own slobber) and hiding out in the woods to fend for ourselves.
I figured I’d have to put together a team. It would likely include TreeGuy cause we’ll need firewood. Huntinstuff and Catinthehat for their arsenal. The canuck twins (twisted and lefty) for comic relief. Cabertosser to create a swiss family robinson tree house and lodge complete with hot water showers. We’ll need someone to keep us all in line, so Dark Aisling would get my vote, with BB416 as a close second. BBJ as camp cook. Frans, leanmeanhuntinmachine, and Sheephunter as scouts. Redfrog would be similar to Gandalf / wise person / mildly crazy guy. Okotokian would be the sunscreen guy, to make sure we don't get too burned.
Well, There’s a start to the posse. Who else could bring assistance to the band of merry men and woman? If you want to join, what sort of skills can you bring to the table?

BGSH would keep us up to date on world events, even as the ground trembled and the rubble bounced in our midst.

No. He would be assigned to be Cannon Fodder.

"mildly crazy" I'm gonna reassess and try harder.
BGSH for news reports from the Enquirer.
Pixel shooter and Rocky for crowd control
Wayne to walk on water and provide fish.
Reeves to supply Pintos for IEDs
Ken for Gargoyle duty.

Ken for sure
Send him into any building first. If he comes out, there are less than 50 enemy in there. Probably less now.
If he doesnt come out, probably 200 enemy or more. We sit back and wait until Ken comes out. Now its safe

Well that does it. BBJ has been demoted to dishwasher (he never participates much on here anymore anyhow), and Sandalius is now camp cook with TheFisherManGuy as his assistant.

You could use your Dog Duke to interrogate prisoners.
Feed Duke Pickled eggs, beer, doughnuts, and sardines and lock him in Reeve's Pinto with a bad guy. Make sure the bad guy can't roll down the windows.

Is there a really old guy in the movie? Like 130 or 140 years old?
If so it would be a great role for Sheephunter.

I can get us the hot showers, but 220Swifty will be faster with the structure; plus he can double up with Ken for the dynamic building entries. I think Grizzly Adams and KegRiver would both be multitalented generalists, able to contribute everywhere. GustavMahler could get us hooked up with off-grid power so we can still play Blu-Rays and Playstation. We'll need an A/C guy to make sure the keg cooler remains operational, I think DeWalt18 would have that down.
And I'm assuming we're bringing our families, otherwise the shortage of females would be a tad disconcerting . No offense to Shelly, but the poor girl would be accosted like Smurfette if there weren't any other ladies around.

It's likely the bullwhip would constitute foreplay to some, tread carefully

We'll give RockymtnX one of those little blue pills and he can be the designated stunt double.
He's one of those guys that proudly says 'hold my beer and watch this!'. Case in point a bucking bronco skidoo, and a rather amorous moose...

I appreciate the vote for comic relief AB, I can probably do that, keep everyone laughing as they take on the Spetnaz guys. I can however, also contribute a fairly substantial armory of my own, with lots of ammo, because I wouldn't want to miss out on any fun. Too bad fishnut is gone, we could have gotten treeguy to build a catapult and lob him into the Russian encampment, where he could taikwondo and bench press them to bloody paste. We would have had to prime him with mojitos, but after he was done, the Little People would proclaim him a God and probably give him a wicked rubdown......
