I thought people could pick a colour when they created a profile…..lol
Wasn’t it Patrice or someone with a coloured name fired up because a mod was deleting her posts?

… this is a USA forum … drop the U from color

…. Don’t make me ride up there … rip the skis off your snowmobile and and slap the Eskimo chief around

I keep forgetting which way you guys like it. Autocorrect keeps changing it no matter which way I do it
Color
Colour
See, color has a red line under it, it’s wrong.'

… your autocorrect has a pro gay bias lol

Actually, White 17 highlighted my name in red. I wore it as a badge of honor all these years. Yesterday, it went "normal".
I PM'ed White asking what happened, and said he didn't know, but figured Paul must have done it.
I haven't asked why. When Paul does things like that on his site, I am smart enough to assume he has his reasons.

You were no longer uncensored. You wore that badge for a long time, but recently it fell off.

This why with site rules and heavier enforcement ( needed ) , I spend more time in the DMZ. Safer there. Boss likes it.

I thought we were posting about a past auto repair attempt….

What do the different name colors mean?

You would have to ask The Boss.

Id guess red means youre a virgin from having your hand slapped.

Chuckle!!

Actually, no. I got suspended for a month. When I returned, my "name" was normal. After 1 year of good behavior, White 17 turned it red with the signature "Made It One Year Without Censor."
After 2 years, he adjusted it. Many years later, it has been adjusted again. Thanks Paul!

Well, back to the original question about mines.

I watch a Navy sponsored military You Tube explanation the other day concerning the mines in the straight. Many have been there for years, and there are multiple types.

Some were developed by China and sold to Iran. They look like a big metal tube and simply lay "dormant" on the bottom until triggered to fire. A small rocket with an explosive head lives inside. When triggered the rocket fires out of the tube, senses the target above that trigger the firing, and sends the rocket up through the bottom of the hull. No way to avoid.

There are 3 other types of mines in the straight. The Navy knows how to disarm all of them but is not ready to do it yet.

Quite interesting .... thanks !

The Boss is so good at preemptive strikes I hear Trump is asking him for advice!!!
