I did some follow-up on that Hellraiser. So. . . that’s not a production car. It is a specialty car built for Kevin Hart by SpeedKore. They put a 7.0L (1,000 hp) Hellephant Hemi engine on a modified frame. Then they scanned a 1970 Dodge Charger body and built it out of carbon fiber. It’s a one-of-a-kind car.

I also looked into the Elgin trench watch. Apparently, Elgin made 4 different trench models: the Admiral Evans, the Admiral Benson, the General Joffre, and the General Funston. All very cool designs. I also stumbled across a Facebook page for Illinois Watches with Art Deco designs you should see, Robert:

Thanks so much!
Rita Hayworth did not pop out of a package, she had to be developed at considerable expense and time. if she had half a brain, which she apparently did not have, Rita would be quiet after saying, thank you.
I enjoy your informed, acerbic comments, Barry.
Godo to see you posting, and thank you.
Should read, ‘good’ of course,. My bad but good.
That’s interesting about Israili paratroopers. Training but not jumping.
Interesting quote from Joan Collins. I’ve been re-watching Star Trek, the original series, and one of the greatest episodes is “the city on the edge of forever“ with Joan Collins.
I had never heard of the hell raiser before.
I love the Lars Jorde painting.
The quote by Joan Collins is a little ironic to me. I found her to be much sexier as a Cougar than a Lolita, but in the end, I understand her position.
I bet that Hellraiser has a massive Hemi under the hood. Sweet looking car.
I was so hoping there was a follow-up link to the Admiral Evans watch. I shall have to do some researching it this weekend…
Out of curiosity, why does Israel not include parachute drops in their military doctrine?
Prophet Joe:
IDF battles usually take place in geographically small areas. Parachute jumps are notoriously random. Men often land several km. from their designated drop zones. This makes for chaos, and time tables that get shredded. Israel has great mobility on the ground, and an air force which is second to none in completely controlling air space. This more than makes up for lack of paratroop drops.
I know there are commando forces. Bibi and his brother were in the force. Maybe parachute is part of the training.
