We will be living next door to........IRAQ!!!! Just over the border. Not to mention IRAN and SYRIA.
Yes, those countries U constantly see on the news with fighting, guns, bombs, beheadings and refugees filling up your screen.
Never in all my life, have I lived so close to the "axis of evil" as Dubya so ironically says. The man who is ignoramusly unaware that he is the single, greatest WMD that America will ever face.
So what better way for a kiasu Singaporean to "BE PREPARED!" (as the Civil Defence Force constantly reminds us) than to buy a TANK off the internet. Imagine me zipping around Istanbul in a TANK. It'll be a HOOT! Judging from what I've read about the traffic and drivers in that city, I may very well need one.
Yup yup, U can BUY A TANK on Amazon.com and have it FedEx'd right to your doorstop! It's going for a trifle US$20,000. Check it out. Budding dictators and revolutionaries all over the world must be thrilled, especially with the FLAME THROWER option (which is unfortunately not available if you live in California, Arizona or New Mexico, but U can still have the land torpedo loaders). Mwaahahahahahaha! I'm laughing so hard now my tummy hurts!
It's name is even funnier! The JL421 Badonkadonk Land Cruiser/Tank
This nifty vehicle:
- Carries cargo or a crew of up to five internally or on the roof.
- Is piloted from within the armored shell or from an exposed standing position through the hatch.
- Fitted with troop benches and LAND TORPEDO LOADERS
- 6hp Tecumseh gasoline engine, top speed 40 mph.
- Includes head/tail and turn signal lights, trim and underbody lighting.
- 400 watt premium sound with PA system, plush interior, and external camera
- Can be fitted with an optional flame thrower, DVD player, GPS and other customisations
WOW. Talk about Pimp My Ride Gone Wild.
BEST OF ALL, U can put this tank on a Bridal Registry. How bloody funny is that?!!?
Ooh yessssss, I want my very own BADONKADONK. WITH flame thrower please...very useful for BBQs.
Hint hint hint, my birthday is in September!
Read the reviews here...they are a SCREAM!

(BTW can ANYONE teach me how to write the HTML so I can make URLs clickable links??)
And even funnier....the "Customers who viewed this item also viewed..." section
They include:
- 1 Gallon Tuscan whole milk
- Fresh Whole Rabbit at US$29.95 but doesn't look very fresh
Who knew you could buy a Tank, Whole Rabbit and a Gallon of Milk all on Amazon?! Long live Jeff Bezos! The day he figures out how to ship piping hot, fresh A1 curry puffs to me anywhere in the world, I will kiss his feet.
P/S: Looking again at the tank photo, I have this sneaky feeling I've seen it before. YES! It looks like one of the desert thingys in RETURN OF THE JEDI. (U know, the one with Jabba the Hut, where Princess Leia wears this kinky metallic bra n panty get-up??) Guess the designers of the BADONKADONK are major Star Wars geekazoids. But OH DEAR, since I recognised the design, that makes me one too. ;p

Indeed... I looked at disbelief, but it turns out they actually do make this tank, and you can customize it in more ways than described on amazon.com as well.
However, a more interesting question is where the whole Turkey idea comes from? Not that Turkey is really that dangerous, though it is features in Robert Young Pelton's "Dangerous Places", which is ALSO available on Amazon: http://www.amazon.com/Robert-Peltons-Worlds-Dangerous-Places/dp/0060011602
