Pat Daniels Posted December 24, 2020 Share #1 Posted December 24, 2020 What happens when a collector of inert ordnance gets bored near Christmas time? A 1,000Lb GP bomb gets hauled into the living room and decorated. Christmas should be a blast this year! O Tannen-Bomb, O Tannen-Bomb, How lovely are thy box fins! O Tannen-Bomb, O Tannen-Bomb, How lovely are thy box fins! Your casing so green in summertime, Still bravely green in wintertime. O Tannen-Bomb, O Tannen-Bomb, How lovely are thy box fins! The arming vane spins faithfully, Downward on it's trajectory, O Tannen-Bomb, O Tannen-Bomb, How lovely are thy box fins. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pat Daniels Posted December 24, 2020 Author Share #9 Posted December 24, 2020 Thanks to all for their comments! Expecting a couple of relatives over this evening who "don't get" the ordnance collecting thing. It should be interesting to see how far away from it they sit........ Merry Christmas to all!!!!!

OLDNAVYNUKESPOOK Posted December 24, 2020 Share #10 Posted December 24, 2020 Suggest you discretely hide a rather loud, ticking alarm clock behind the "tree". ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

917601 Posted December 26, 2020 Share #12 Posted December 26, 2020 Yes, most just do not understand Ordnance collecting. Maybe my fascination comes from my Army days witnessing various pieces doing their job ( only 7 percent of our population are veterans), or maybe because collecting something that was designed solely to destroy and be destroyed ( rarity- unlike all other militaria), or the brilliant engineering involved in designing clock work mechanisms ( Bulova watch company manufactured fuzes), or the simple fact that Patton replied to the question “ What won the war?”...” Artillery did”.
