OK;
This thread is really starting to be a thread by wearing a little thin. I feel it is time to end it.
I hope no one was greatly offended by my dry sense of humor (closer to dehydrated).
Don't worry what any others have stated vs what I have stated, my insult threshold is very high. I hope no one was insulted by my comments. I believe that I took care not to do so, except in one instance that I know of. I hope that individual has accepted my apology. Anybody else is offended? Let me know, I will grovel appropriately.
My reason and anger for starting this thread was the way Dynamite Danny was treated. Dyanamite Danny did not insult a single individual, but received many insults to himself.
Also I wanted to express my views, and learn somthing. I knew this would be a long thread, from the length and content of Danny's.
Alas, I have enjoyed every post and learned alot in the process. The supposed function of forums such as these.
Surfer;
If you don't mind. Please state how you change the constant speed prop RPM and max manifold pressure settings. I might get the idea --> the joke is on me again - LOL. I can't find them in any of the dot command or keyboard references. Thanks.
Thanks again everyone
Well almost <pizzzt> one last topic remains = Mr. Boviness.
I did get the reference phaetn, and I did LMAO as well. Quite witty on Curly's part! I was sorry that both of the URL's he posted did not work.
The story of The Minotaur:
It seems King Minos, of the Island Kingdom on Crete, made some kind of deal with Zeus. Minos, ended up having to sacifice a prized bull for repayment. Well Minos, kinda sorta re-nigged on the deal and sacificed an unsuitable replacement bull.
In the way of Gods and Men, this really ticked Zeus off (ever have a God really hacked off at ya?). For revenge, Zeus had a spell cast, in the way of Gods, on Minos's innocent wife. This spell, caused the poor Lady to really get the hots for the prized, yet unsacrificed or uncircumcised bull.
Well, too make a long story short, nine months later out pops the wee lad. Unfortunately the tyke is half human and <gulp> half bovine.
King Minos, being King and all, figures he can't have an 8 foot tall, ugly as sin, son hanging around the palace. Minos did not know the child was not his natural son. (This guy had to be REALLY dumb) The Minotaur, as he was called, gets locked up in the castle basement.
King Minos, sooner than later got fed up with the noise downstairs. And yes the smell was not that pretty either. But, he had no practical way of ridding his household of the beast.
The Minotaur, by now had discovered the basement was a cool place to hang out, more of a maze really. Mino, his childhood nickname, soon loved to play hide and seek. His bad reputation began because he played Rockem Sockem Robots with any person who actually found him. (Bit of a poor loser I would imagine)
Eventually, The Minotaur, became a legend.
All sorts of brave and foolish dudes decided it would be supercool they could vanquish the poor beast. Also, I suppose to put themselves high on the King's Shmoove List. I am uncertain.
The Minotaur kicked all their B*tts.
One day along comes the SuperHero Hercules. Hercules, being of SuperHero SuperShmoover Status, gives Ole Minotaur the big boot.
Now, The Minotaur has got no pad. No place to call home. So The Minotaur, much the same way as Godzilla, just wanders around the country side ripping peoples faces off and destroying their homes. Generally being a real pain. (LOL - sound familiar?)
So along comes this new guy, also more or less a SuperHero, named Orheseus. (any historians out there?) By the end of round 3 it is a TKO. The Minotaur is only a memory.
The legend of the Minotaur was retold down through the centuries, many times. Mostly just to scare kids into regularly changing their underpants or brushing their teeth before bed.
NOW THEN; there has got to be a MORAL right? The MORAL is; it took TWO SuperHero's to vanquish Poor Ole Minotaur. They BOTH had a full head of hair. Small point, but worth noting.
PUG
Later all
Mino
