Stupid Procurement Ideas

[the 48th regulator]

Well i think that because i think all CMBG should have the same amount of tanks. I think it would take about 180 tanks.

I agree. 

Can we get the kind that shoots those plasma beam pulses, you know the kind the ones with the laser range finder that burns people's eyes?

Can they also have a tiny pool built into the top??

You know -- for the sharks with frickin' laserbeams?

That'd be cool.

Screw the 2A6.......

We need 600 Hover-tanks !!!

Screw the 2A6.......

We need 600 Hover-tanks !!!

And 1200 sharks !! Don't forget them.

The original statement was that we should have 500 tanks.... The author didn't stipulate that the equipment had to be manned or maintained, just acquired.....Therefore the question is "How to pay for them?" And the answer is also painfully obvious..... We as Canadians have millions of dollars of Canadian Tire money laying about, we just get the general populace to donate that....... ;D

Simple solution...find a Canadian tire gas bar that sells diesel, and begin conducting ALL domestic fueling at that gas bar. Place all that Canadian tire in a single pile, or perhaps in a CSA approved box of some sort, and you're set. We can even get some of those "8X" canadian tire money coupons.

Canadian tire sells tanks right?

As long as they have a pool for Vern's sharks.......

Its so brilliant, it brings a tear to my glass eye  :'(

How about Phased-plasma rifle in the forty watt range  ;D

In all seriousness, we might as well use this as an opportunity to reinvent the wheel Canadian style. Why use sharks with fricken lazers, when we could just say, use a trout of some sort with a ruler taped to it's head? You know those wooden ones with the metal strips? They hurt.. and the trout could easily be transported in a smaller more efficient bucket, verses a large costly pool.

Thank You!!!!!!

Hand-thrown nuclear grenades in the 2 Kt range. Canada could buy at least 10 000 to get a discount for volume.

No worries!! Canadian Tire also sells pools!! Eureka!! Even more Canadian Tire money should the powers that be (ie us) use the same contractor for both the tanks and their pool upgrade!! Whooooooooo!! I'm making it 2400 sharks; we CAN afford it!

The GoC could buy more than that if they wanted to but they don't.

I'm also quite sure there's some weapons techs about this site who'd be able to uparmour the little green and yellow machine guns that I've previously purchased from Canadian Tire -- plasma would be best though -- they're already liquid-ammo capable.

No, it's because you people aren't realistic. Buckets... trout... oooh... I bet we could even make said vehicles wheeled with the weight savings by cutting the pool. Who needs tracks when you can have cheap wheels?

 

[Rodahn]

and the trout could easily be transported in a smaller more efficient bucket, verses a large costly pool.

But we have no limit on the Canadian Tire money, ergo we can go for the max.....

And where do you think we're getting all this Canadian tire money?

Oh, wait... that's been explained... we'll just print more... err... no... that's not right... yes, we're cutting it from the hospitals? I'm confused.

Think of the budget increase we will need to feed all those sharks !!

And the ensuing CANFORGENs, DAODs and QR&Os that will come out regulating the treatment of those sharks.  We will also have to hire more WFE TECHs to maintain the water in the shark pools, more truck drivers to drive the water tankers to replenish the water in the pools and, for the first time in how many years , we will need to get military Veterinarians.
