Stand back! Pax is doing Science!

Breaking news...

dateline Australia... 16th September 2011

Sadly it would seem that my on-going Science experiment has had a wee bit of a set back.

Marines recoiling from the Insidious pinkness
The Finding that "1 in 10 American Military Members don't hate Musk Sticks" has been disproved by my latest set of Guinea Pigs Happy Volunteers* (aka members of the United States Marine Corps)

I am told that a full account of the up-close-and-Pink encounter will be shortly posted by my 'on the spot' assistant** (he that is proffering the Sugary Sweetness in the photo above)

Hmm.. so that is now the USA Army, Air force, Navy & USMC.  Any suggestions on who I should find for my final control group?

Oh and I am so very tempted to get myself on of THESE t-shirts.

I wonder if they make any in pink?

Oh well.. back to the Lab. My Data must be carefully massaged compiled for the final presentation.

  1. Is that a Musk Stick or a grenade he's holding?

  2. @Suz - I suspect that a Musk Stick in the hands of the uber-ninja A1S would be more deadly than a grenade [but doesn't he look adorable with pink :D]

  3. The musk stick is dangerous in anyone's hands. That's the problem.

  5. Right, that's why your kind cringe at the mere thought of a peanut butter & jelly sandwich.

  7. I got your back, A1S, I would drather eat 100 PBJs (at once) than pass within a mile (a kilometer for you Pax'ster) of a Musk Stick. . .

  8. Gentlemen.. are we perhaps missing a golden opportunity to introduce WMD's (weapons of Musk (in)Digestion) to our foes?

    [Or is that pesky Geneva Convention likely to come into play re. 'Cruel and Unusual applications of Sweets'?]

  9. @N1 - a friend explained that word to me.

    He said "it's the posh term for y'all that goes just before 'start your engines'"

  10. I have Aussie family I took my heathens to visit last year in Sidney, Canberra, and the Highlands. What did the heathens (5 and 7) enjoy eating the most? That would be the marinated whole baby octopuses. I do not recall the "Musk Sticks" but I think we go deer hunting with something similar.
    Pax, extra points for getting A1S to hold a pink object and smile at the same time.

  11. @Kristina - yes that IS an interesting smile A1S is sporting there, isn't it? :D

    And eww on the tentacle munching. MY Ex would make up his version of Seafood gumbo and then have to extract all the "wobbly bits" before I'd eat any.
