If your dad's Brad Pitt, you're a lucky guy

Just read on a 'quality' online newspaper that Pitt bought a little present for Pax, Maddox and Shiloh: a Russian T-54 tank!

He's having it shipped from Budapest to LA.

Re: If your dad's Brad Pitt, you're a lucky guy

Back in the day when I was in high school (public high school, where sushi and starbucks were not on the menu) if I were named Pax, Maddox, or Shiloh, I would have needed a Soviet tank to transport me safely to and from.

Haha! The thing that's not funny about it, is that it is still like that in the Norwegian schools! ...

T-54 is great though. But an IS-7 would probably do the trick!

I'd be curious to know if Brad Pitt supports gun control...

Not if he intends to keep on living in Louisiana (right back at ya). In fact, with the possible exception of Texas, Louisiana is probably the only state that would allow the personal ownership of a working tank. I wonder where they are going to put the license plate - state law for any "movable."

Oops, I guess I should have read the piece first. LA are the postal letters for Louisiana where Brad and Angelina have a house (New Orleans to be specific - though they keep popping up in Lafayette - usually separately - to get a bite to eat of authentic food, not that N.O. Iron Chef crap).

Oh, well that makes sense. . . I though "LA" meant Los Angeles, California. . . My bad. . .

It does stand for Los Angeles. It was my mistake.

Interesting point, are there any celebrity Soviet (or other country) order/medals collectors?
