Name the B-21 bomber













The U.S. Air Force has a designation for its next generation bomber: B-21. The designation reflects the fact the plane is the first real bomber of the 21st Century. Now the USAF is looking for a name for stealthy new plane, currently under development, and it's inviting the extended Air Force family to help.
If you're an active duty, reserve or retired member of the Air Force—or a dependent or civilian employee—you can visit this site and send in your suggestion. 
The prize? This is the government we're talking about—the prize is in a job well done! You'll get an article about your winning entry on the Air Force web site, and you may get to attend the Air Force Association's Air & Space Conference and Exhibition in September and be acknowledged by Air Force leadership.

How about - Boomerang?

Flies out of some hanger in Missouri, drops bombs in Libya/Syria, returns to hangar.

In keeping with the recent British boat naming contest, I am going with "Bomby McBombface". That's my final answer.

DBQ - Most of those are very offensive. ;-)

Copycat (it looks like one of its predecessors accd to other article)

I know. That was the point :-D

For the plane....how about Wedgie of Death

deborah said...

Sinister, DBQ, verrrry sinister :)

Barkeep, I'll take a sour granny slap, on the rocks.

I second Bomby McBombface. Solidarity.

deborah said...

Death Wing...aka hospice floor at the hospital :)

The Obomba?

deborah said...

LOL Rabel.

The Boaty McBoatface and Bomby McBombface sounded 100% Ace of Spades to me. He did that describing libs describing Bush and Cheney, I think. Cheney McHitler, something like that.

Poor Ace. Another favorite who is beside himself at the prospect of Trump winning the Republican nomination. Fearing for the state of the nation and cannot glee at the destruction of a party that refuses to represent and that lies to them.

Now all articles must contain, Trump supporters must be seeing (something obviously wrong. ) And he's not going to stop. He cannot. Duty calls. And so does obsession. Yet another irresistible short-finger Trump thing in his sidebar, Ace's obsession, not Trump's at this point.

And this saddens me. Inside I go, WHAT A BUMMER ! except with swears.

I have over half, maybe three quarters, people I follow on Twitter muted. There's hardly anyone left. They've become intolerable. Temporarily.

See, here's the thing, true conservatives are always so very, eh, what's the word for it, there's a perfect word for it, on the tip of my tongue, always so maddeningly … "conservative." That's it. They want to keep the country intact and the party. Now that's conservative, don't you think? He wants to keep the party intact. Nobody wants to be in that club. It does not represent. It does not do its job. It just exists as a self-separated class. They behave as Brahmans. And he wants to keep them. He wants to keep an unworthy agency. As Britain retains its royalty. Except this is America and the party of Lincoln is expendable. That's what strikes me as odd. And to be frantic and upset about it and not relaxed and pleased that all is well.

Joe Biden, America's Putin said...

lol Deborah. True. I love that we have ditched our PC. Go trump go!

How about - Your Doom.

Methadras said...

I'm in favor of FUI - pronounced Foo-E (Fuck You ISIS).

Die In A Fire has a nice ring to it.

But in my comic book style I also like BLAMO!!!

The Dude said...

Boaty McBoatface - that's where I got the idea. Stole it fair and square. Don't read Ace or any of his ilk. Have no idea what he is about, don't care, except that I read on other sites that he is going all LGF, so I guess I can take some joy over that, at least in the shadows.

And speaking of German, I frequently ask my dog where her brother is. He is not really her brother nor litter mate, just the other dog that lives here. He is very old and stone deaf. So I ask her to find him. "Where is your brother?" I ask. "Ou est ton frere?" I don't ask in Spanish, as that would be racist, but I did look up how to ask in German - "Wo ist dien brudder?", and she looks at me funny as if to say "That is the worst German I have ever heard in my life!"

And she is correct.

Hottie McBombie.

MamaM said...

I'd go with Genie. So the one who bears the responsibility for sending it too and fro across the face of the earth and causing the doors to open and drop planned destruction can rightly be accused of letting the Genie out of the bottle.

Aladdin would also work.

Dad Bones said...

The Batmobile, cause it looks like a bat

deborah said...

But DB, the Batmobile's a car ;)

Dad Bones said...

I figured that nagging detail might keep me from winning, deborah, but it looks like a bat and it's as mobile as you can get, plus it has a dangerous and sinister aura to it that surpasses the original Batmobile.

Anyhow, not having anything else to gripe about today, I'm annoyed that being an Air Force veteran isn't quite enough to make me eligible to enter. I would have to be retired AF.

deborah said...

You got me there, DB, it's incredibly mobile, I withdraw my comment :) I did not notice vets weren't allowed, That Stinks.

Steg said...

HEY I got it. Name it #.

That way when there's unexpected and inexplicable violence, we can resort to the hash tag.

MamaM said...

You got me there...

Although I didn't read Dad Bones responding with any kind of "Gotcha", that too would work as a name. "Dark Insight" would also serve as double if not triple or quadruple play, involving, Insight and In sight (view and bomb) and Incite.

The Dude said...

A triple entendre is a rare thing. The only one I remember is the old ad for fertilizer "Our concern is growing", which could mean their business, the what their product was to be used for, or perhaps, increasing anxiety.

Well played, MamaM.
