bonwich Posted April 8, 2011 Share Posted April 8, 2011 This Rammer story was on the "you might also like" links on the Willie-leaving U. News story. It seems that when someone gave Rammer some Billiken Kool-Aid laced with cyanide, he drank it anyway -- and may even have gargled with it before he laughed in their face. The legend continues.

TheA_Bomb Posted May 12, 2013 Share Posted May 12, 2013 May have just found the only way to stop Rammer and it involves a M109A6 Paladin Self Propelled Howitzer Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cyanide? The Rammer showers in cyanide. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GW Posted May 13, 2013 Share Posted May 13, 2013 May have just found the only way to stop Rammer and it involves a M109A6 Paladin Self Propelled Howitzer Are you sure this component is not mislabeled? These specs are for the "Loader Rammer". I'm not an artillery expert, but comparing the blow up to anatomically similar bodily... "components"... it appears to still be bearing its "load" as per its name. Instead of a "Rammer stop" it looks more like a "Rammer- I'm just getting started...". Nothing stops the Rammer...

Billiken Rich Posted May 13, 2013 Share Posted May 13, 2013 It'll take more than a 155mm howitzer to stop that Rammer. Rammer stop? He's laughing at you....... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bonwich Posted May 13, 2013 Author Share Posted May 13, 2013 The only thing that may have ever stopped Rammer was the Conklin Conk. But because of the hypothesis (recently partially verified) about the "God particle," no one ever wanted such an irresistable-force-meets-immovable-object collision to occur -- not even in a scrimmage -- lest the universe as we know it cease to exist and an entirely new one be formed. (Actually, I think SyFy did a made-for-TV movie based on this a few years ago where St. Louis got swallowed by a black hole.) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheA_Bomb Posted May 14, 2013 Share Posted May 14, 2013 The "Rammer Stop" is a component of the Loader Rammer which helps the projectile to be properly seated prior to firing. So it technically helps get a proper ramming which is key before blowing your load. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think the "main release handle" has a better chance of stopping the Rammer or at least slowing him down until he can clean up......
