Just walking home from a Thursday night midnight movie at the AMC Loews
Lincoln Square 13  on 68th and Bway.
You think I can wait till Friday?

The M system has always been very dangerous ordnance:
To a lot of people a M9 is a Beretta hand gun.
 The Beretta M9 9mm 15RD

An M8 is a grenade launcher, a grenade launcher used by the US in World War
II
An M7 was a United States military bayonet.
An M5 is a globular cluster in the constellation Serpens.
M6 an Aircrew Survival Weapon, a survival rifle for aircraft pilots
An M3 is  a tank
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stuart_tank
And M4 is an M4 SLBM, a French submarine-launched ballistic missile
Comes in handy in the event of a prospective mugger.

The LTM screw mount Barnacks sound less likely to explode in your face.
