First salvo over the bow...

Believe me Catch, the pads don't do much but cushion the impact a little. It's a violent collision that you survive by being conditioned and prepare for it. OvS

Man Rule #1: Upon the start of the NFL season in August until it's end in February, all previous relations and use of the word Football shall be changed to Soccer. PS... if you've never played Football, it's something like this... I played as a DB (Cornerback or Safety depending on if we were playing a team that ran more than passed) in High School.... go in your backyard, build up a good head of steam running.... pick a tree out of your yard, then really step on your gas peddel. Drop in low and pop the tree with one of you shoulders as hard as you can... get up, and do it again That's about what it feels like to hit another object weighing more than you (I was about 135, lean and REALLY fast) running at full speed. Football = pain... it's part of the game. OvS

We've stuck around that hell hole long enough to learn first hand what IED's are and what they do. We should teach them what MOAB stand for and what IT does... No more Taliban stronghold town... any innocents killed can be considered persons harboring terrorists, which are enemies to NATO as well. OvS

Leaving an unregistered throw-down weapon (with a few shots from it fired into walls) next to the dead Thug always helps.

nice crab angle... obvious VFR Elephant. That was great, my daughter loved it. OvS

Oh we finished the Snipe, however Winder asked me to test fly it. I took off, rolled right, stalled and nose-dived it into the side of a petrol tank. It burned to ashes... luckily I survived! There was nothing left to save.... sorry Widow, you'll have to wait a little longer... you almost had it. OvS

I like his accent for Fat Bastard even better. PS... You think that's Polovski sounds bad?? Heaven forbid he was Welsh...

WHAT?!?!?! Breather?!?!? LOL! We're workin'... but I ain't tellin' ya what we're workin' on. I will tell you this... we're addicts... we'll never quit. OvS

I was thinking they should run the Snowboarding Half-Pipe straight off the side of the Jefferson Monument... and maybe do the Downhill on the front lawn of the White House? Sound OK? It might work.

Added bonus... a Peregrine Falcon decided to make a meal out of a House Sparrow that was feeding at one of my bird feeders in the backyard... If you look close, you can see the Sparrow crushed under his right Talon...

<hic> me <hic> ... Jarhead dissed me... The plate is not real, I just thought that would look cool....

It could be worse... Dirty Dancing... or heaven forbid.... GHOST!!!

Snowing all day in Long Island... wet and heavy... the worst kind!!

I have to agree... you could pretty much see what it says without knowing German. I'd go with "Leck mich am arsch!" or "leck mich!" is pretty cool too. So it's all sorted now, and good to see we got there! Maybe I'll put one of these on my Black Dr.1. I used to have 3M TA3 as my personal plate on my bike... but that was years ago. It was from the Beastie Boys 'License to Ill' album. Maybe I'll use that instead! LOL!

Even though it makes no sense in German... "Küss meinen Arsch" looks really cool!

Yes, but that sounds too proper... Lords and all that. Arsche lecken - which is what, lick my a$$... ? I think all he wants is that, but what is the word for kiss? Can't he just replace lecken with it?

Sorry Check Six, I didn't realize it was a new discussion... it's one that gets opened (as this one did) every now and then. Finding the exact expression in German for Kiss my A$$ might be tough, so you might have to setting for translating each word from English to German. It might not sound right to a German toungue, but maybe they can read it word for word? OvS

yes, I've read that thread before, it's rather lengthy but always fails to miss the point of it being a simple local expression. OvS

Absolutely!!! Gates of Delirium... or better yet... The Revealing Science of God... and I am gone.. I'm in the zone... OvS

The problem is that it's an expression of locality... there is no direct English expression that explains it, and often people try to do that. It's a dialect, like here in NY. If I say fuggetaboutit.. bash yer freakin' head in... or even more common stuff like... smatta wit you.... what's up with that? these are expressions local to NY/NJ, so it doesn't translate directly to anything in another language structure. So you simply have to say it in the native language and nothing less. As if this is something I could be proud of.... but... I used to teach my buddies in college that were from the South how to properly drop the 'F-bomb' as it simply does not sound right coming off a tongue with a Southern Twang (accent). When I would say it like I meant it, they would tell me how much meaner, and more threatening it sounded. So it's all relative to locality. Same for Kempf's Dr.1... Kennescht mi Noch? Which is something like Remember me? or You'll remember me, but there is no direct English language translation, it's simply an expression from the area he grew up in. OvS

LOL! Well... it's not that cut and dry. In the winter, I spend a lot of time indoors anyway, so RL commitments figured in, I spend about 1-4 hours a day depending on the day. But keep in mind, I'm not looking at this from a business point of view. I love to paint these planes, and see what I can do with them. So much like some people spend hours building models, painting pictures, making furniture... etc.. as a hobby, I do this. It relaxes me. I load my playlist of nice 70's Rush or Yes songs, you know, the 'drug unduced' ones that are 15min+ compilations with a story and all that... and drift off into my hangar to paint my plane. When I come out of the 'hangar', it's 2 hours later, and I am test flying what I made and having fun with it. OvS

I agree Creaghorn, that's how it was interpreted for me... like 'It's not going to be you' in English.... meaning... yeah, eat me... kiss my a$$... etc.. OvS

I was eye-balling that new LED stuff... looks great! But VERY costly. I still have my 36" Sony Wega that I need a crane to move around the house. I'd love to get one of those new Bose home theater systems with a new 62" LED connected to Blue Ray and Hi-Def TV... good God.. .the Jets can keep their $20K PL fees for each seat... :) OvS

People that fly now have no clue that the MANY if not all US Airlines were derived from the Military, or personnel from the military, hence why the airlines use to have pride and respect and were run with precision. Unfortunately, we've gotten away from that... it's good to see this. . OvS
