You want this, don't you? The hate is swelling in you now. Take your Jedi weapon, err CP caboose. Use it. I am unarmed. Strike me down with it. Give in to your anger. With each passing moment you make yourself more my servant, err, that is to say, a lazy three fan.

Four in bloody nose. Don't know why...they are just so so cool.

 I remember them working the ore dock in Thunder Bay when I was a kid. And until recently a couple were kicking around the waterfront in Vancouver.

A fitting tribute to the recently closed London ON GMD plant!

My BN has no use for a GMD-1, but if they made an Nn3 (Nn3.5?) version I'd buy a couple.

There is also the really, really bloody nose, which is a post 1973 scheme, iirc:

Damn those things are UGLY :o but a couple ended up south of the border (OK, Utah) as leasers so one in the Central Valley wouldn't be THAT far off.

Can't model worth a darn, but can research like an SOB.

Two scientists create a teleportation ray, and they try it out on a cricket. They put the cricket on one of the two teleportation pads in the room, and they turn the ray on.
The cricket jumps across the room onto the other pad.
"It works! It works!"

The GMD-1 is an elegant expression of form following function. It is not ugly. The BQ23-7 was ugly  :P
