We [British and Australians] call all Americans septic tanks. Its a term of endearment. ;)

Re: Septics shooting each other again.

Just like we call the Scotch "sweaties."

I haven't been checking the news today. They had all the gear and the wife was ready to go, made arrangements to drop the kid off.... They weren't able to use the bombs which might point to a lack of support from outside but this was planned for some time. I think I read somewhere that some of the guns were purchased 4 years ago, though I could be wrong.

I think there was an episode of Homeland with a couple sounding a bit like this a few seasons ago. Lived in some suburb ready for action.

I don't recall that and I watch the show religiously.

This should jog your memory....from wiki

Quote:

Raqim Faisel

Played by Omid Abtahi, Raqim Faisel, along with his girlfriend Aileen Morgan, are low-level al-Qaeda operatives living in the United States. He is a professor at Bryden University in Washington D.C. As part of an al-Qaeda plot, Morgan and Faisel are assigned to purchase a house within sniper range of a Marine One landing pad. The CIA discovers the house, sending them on the run. Faisel is murdered by unknown assailants while he and Aileen are hiding out at a motel.

Aileen Morgan

Played by Marin Ireland, Aileen Margaret Morgan, along with her boyfriend Raqim Faisel, are low-level al-Qaeda operatives living in the United States. Morgan was born in the U.S. but took on an anti-American perspective while living her teenage years in Saudi Arabia. As part of an al-Qaeda plot, Morgan and Faisel are assigned to purchase a house within sniper range of a Marine One landing pad. The CIA discovers the house, sending them on the run. Faisel is killed, and Morgan is arrested in Mexico by Saul Berenson. In exchange for Raqim Faisel receiving a Muslim burial, she identifies the al-Qaeda accomplice who had been sent to her house as ex-Marine Tom Walker.

Spoiler:

There was an earlier bit where she got wind of something and as a warning to him not to stop at the house she put up an American flag.

Re: Septics shooting each other again.

I recall that plot well. Homeland was/is such a great show.

The best show!

That does jog my memory a little Bristol, vaguely remember the psycho woman, but not much else about her/them. Thanks for looking it up.

I needed to make sure I hadn't been thinking of 24 which was entertaining enough but not something that should really have been confused with Homeland.

I'd have resigned my position in dishonour if I'd been wrong. :lol:

Re: Septics shooting each other again.

Ironic but I married a Canadian, who now has US Citizenship, who entered the US on a K-1 with his long guns. Registered them with the authorities and now has purchased a gun and sleeps with it under his pillow at night. Before marrying him, I had never seen a gun up close and now have to live with long guns and a gun in my home. So it ain't just native born Americans with a fetish for guns that live in the US.

PS he nags me to learn to shoot but I refuse to have anything to do with a gun, pistol, rifle, long gun and will only hold and shoot a water pistol.

Make sure he doesn't "think you're a burglar" when you are in the bathroom. :unsure:
