Patrick Scharnowski Posted February 1, 2010 Share Posted February 1, 2010 These are clearly clouds of the "stain my pants and run like hell" variety! They definitely look scary! Would love to know what they are actually called, as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now if only our Government would build more F-22s! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
