""Zero Dark Thirty" lit... now I need a name!" Topic

Well, the two LEDs are installed (and VERY hard to photograph!) I'll post the FINAL shots soon enough, along with a few shots of the wiring. Anyway, come on by and take a peek!

The thing is… now I need a name! Thoughts?

Anyway… a lot more on the blog!

Which one is his wife?

The one with the larger beard. The smaller beard is his daughter

"Hey, cool, they got the lights back on!"

"Let there be light!"

"2AM Take Down"

Looks like the three not-so-wise men.

"Night. We own it." on the dark side, and "meetings running late" on the other.

I'm a big fan of 'motivational' sayings.

"Nor gloom of night."

-Elaine

Hah! That's a funny one:)

Yeah, remember there are two parts to the scene. Here is the other side of the box:

"Look, you guys are just being paranoid. There isn't an American within 100 kilometers of here!"

"Two Worm Chow and a Fish Food"

Guess who is comming to dinner?

There are many more I have heard and can think of but they would not be PC even for me to post here.

Zero Dark Twenty-Nine.

"So, who's up for a couple hands of poker? I feel lucky tonight!"

Tberry for the win!

I like Zero Dark Twenty-Nine

I see the laptop is showing the BSoD!

I told you guys no more ordering takeout!

Hm, some funny ones:) However, I really do need some realistic suggestions too…?

"Payback's a bitch!" or "Seal Team 6 – winners of Hide-and-Seek World Championship 2011." or "Uncle Sam sends his regards." or "Job will be done in a New York Minute."

Needs a cartoon bubble …

"… and then he's climbing out of a 'copter with a 'Mission Accomplished' banner in the back. Hah! As if!"

When you care enough to send the very best.

'Zero dark hundred hours'.

'Ain't no hole deep enough…'

'Leave no rock unturned…'

'Oh -that'll be the take-out….'

LOL for Tberry-"no Americans in 100km"

Who ordered a pizza?

"Candygram."

"When it must absolutely, positively be destroyed overnight. Accept no substitutes!"

Alternatively, "SEAL Team 6. When you care enough to send the very best."

"There is no such thing as the bogeyman! Now, go back to bed so I can finish studying these American Training Films!"

Retribution

"The Price of Fame."

"We sleep soundly in our beds because rough men stand ready in the night to visit violence on those who would do us harm."

Ah just a point of clarification. "When you care enough to send the second best."

Zero dark twenty-nine was the best!

I'll let you debate that one with the guys from Team Six, James.

I'll sit here by the keg, make sure nobody uses it as a weapon.

Besides, the check I'm cutting is written out to 'USSOCOM Recreation Committee'. I know that it was more than just SEALs on the Op.

Well there is this:

There should be a special forces olympics to sort out the best of the best. You could have the 100m double tap, synchronised fast roping and the explosive entry relay.

@Milites: ROFLMAO!

And the best part is, all the SpecOps teams around the world would do it, too!

Back to the question of what to call the diorama: "2am wake-up call."

Hm, some good ones…

Ok, my bash at the title.

"Flash bang, and the dirt is gone!"
"Calm before the storm"
"Stand by" on the other side "Goodbye"

There is, the CT Olympics. It was not run for a few years between 2001 and 2005 or 2006. Several team participate in shooting, endurance, and other SOF skills and events over a one week period. I have not followed it for some time but SOCOM use to report on who won. It was funny to see SOCOM Team 1 and Team 2 win and no one could figure out who it was.

What, they didn't even admit to which branch? That's no fun. Couldn't they at least wear those 'blueman suits' that the movies use for bluescreen/greenscreening with 'SEAL' or 'DELTA' written across someplace?

Actually, my usual description is along the lines of 'one if by land'… Delta for desert ops, SEALs if it's wet, Marines in the jungle. And Scandahooligans or Royals for snow. They're all about equally competent in cities, and just have different specialties.

"we are a go" – on both sides.
