gonzalesna 0 #1 January 25, 2010 Trailer for a documentary called "Scrapper" that is yet to be released. It was filmed at the Chocolate Mountains Bombing Range in Southern California. I spent the past 2 weeks on that range clearing dud bombs and submunitions. Great time! Scrapper: An Explosive New Documentary (Trailer)Some people refrain from beating a dead horse. Personally, I find a myriad of entertainment value when beating it until it becomes a horse-smoothie. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

gonzalesna 0 #3 January 25, 2010 Quote That's insane. Shows the lengths folks will go to when times get tough. Has little to do with tough times... has a LOT to do with Meth.We found a scrapper's truck during our last day in the submunition grid. Didn't find the scrapper, but his truck is most likely still where we found it.Some people refrain from beating a dead horse.

airtwardo 6 #11 January 25, 2010 Quote Evolution is Gods way of doing it. You think He screwed it up? I think Gonzo is a pretty smart guy...he just doesn't know it yet! I think someone needed to fill a bomb disposal slot and Gonzo roped himself into it. I think if Gonz were in the private sector he'd be either in or recently graduated from college at or near the top of his class with unlimited income & personal satisfaction on a path directly ahead of him. I think he's a young small town Midwest boy that has seen & done a lot more things than he ever thought he would at this point in his life and he's just boppin' around having fun...which is fine, as long as he eventually understands that the world really IS his oyster! I can relate, I was there too...I just hope he doesn't get himself hurt somehow and possibly limit his potential for success and happiness. He's a good guy and I like him...which means I worry about him! ~ If you choke a Smurf, what color does it turn? ~ Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

quade 3 #24 January 26, 2010 So, was thinking about this off and on during the day. Decided to check out how this guy was doing on his film and when it might be coming out. Last update was about two years ago. I don't think the guy bought the farm because somebody signed in on his YouTube account less than 24 hours ago. Curiouser and curiouser. I wonder if he got a C&D letter from the DHS.quade - The World's Most Boring Skydiver Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
