Dictionary.com says “bushwhack” is basically synonymous with ambush and querrilla warfare. A bushwhacker, aside from being a general term for an ambusher, also refers to “a Confederate guerrilla during the American Civil War”. So I dunno why you layed the smack on me. As a Canadian however, I will politely just nod, smile, and apologize. :-)

For the record though, I’m not anti-American, nor would I ever malign your president. I’m quite conservative myself, and hate all the cheap swipes that often get tossed around by certain people, ahem... from Canada.

   Although I’ve never been completely comfortable with the whole mech on rollerskates thing, I can say without hesitation that this thing is off the chain. The turret and rocket launchers are two of the coolest things you’ve built to date.

Thanks Keith! I’m really glad the missile launchers are being received so well. I feel it’s been a while since I’ve contributed any good ideas to the community.

  

Mladen has left the building.
