This is probably the best real story ever told! *quality

Boosting this quality contribution up in the Hot Listing - declared quality by seltar.

For a minute I thought it was a clip from the film "Tropic Thunder."

Come on people!

This video has already declared quality - ignoring quality request by seltar.

I find meatbag seltar to be an inadequate command-giver - ignoring all requests by seltar.

Well, fuck you too, sifty!
*promote

Promoting this video and sending it back into the queue for one more try; last queued Tuesday, January 22nd, 2013 1:43am PST - promote requested by seltar.

"Post Toasties to the bitter, you dig?" Man that was a different era and a different language.

war is hell
