I love this photo
Damn, that's a rough 38
That woman has more balls than anyone there
I'd prefer that she'd used something a little heavier, like a brick or a pipe (probably weren't readily available, I understand), but I strongly agree.
That bag could have a dozen cans of cat food in it
It could, true. There's just something about metal pipes specifically, they just seem to have the ability (in my mind) to absolutely fuck someone up. Maybe it's the better swing? The range? The fact that I took out a whole building with one in New Vegas? No idea.
Are we sure this was 1985? I've seen this photo before, and was told it was during the 1940s.
I honestly have no way of knowing which is true.
Wikipedia says it was 1985. I'm not sure why it's in b&w, since there was definitely color in the 80s.
More of this.
