What happens when you mix a cartoon show and a scambled mind?

I would go for cars and trucks. Too small for ships.

Despite its Cartoon Network (Nickelodeon?) origins, I could see Marines or SEALS piling into a less cheerfully colored version for a ride!

Russ, I'll try cars. But I kept looking at it and something was wrong. I finally figured out what: No brass! Got to have something for the Yeomen (Yowomen?) to polish when not fetching beverages.

Maybe this would fit the military types a little better. B.Y.O. MG. (Bring Your Own Machine Gun!

What it really needs is a Spoked steering wheel and muzzle loading cannons that can be run out from the sides :blink:
the sides should of course be painted in 'Cream and Black' stripes (think H.M.S. Victory) The Marines would of course
be wearing red coats and white trousers (although if you're from the other side of the pond, that may differ)  ;D

If you build it they will laugh. First at the absurity. Then at the bravery it took to build it. Then at themselves for forgetting this is WhifWorld, where nothing near right is acceptable.
