I'm very sorry about Ralphies's father. He was a heck of a guy.

I STILL want a Superfortress with a nuke.....and a 20mm cannon in the tail with the twin 50's.....and a 50 caliber quad in one of the dorsal gun turrets.....and if it could be in red, that would be awesome.

(sigh) Of course the B-29's that dropped nukes had all but the tail guns removed.

You’re mispronouncing it. It’s Su…Per…For…Tress. Super Fortress…superfortress. See? Don’t worry about it. It’s a common mispronunciation.

Interesting, but it's still pronounced Superfortress. B-29 y'all.

What I'm sayin. Um...except it was a compass.

I have it from a reliable source (read that, "total fabrication") that tomorrow morning, the skies will be filled with blood thirsty AI escorts. Think "Terminator" in a P51, giving you the whole 9 yards in the face.

I'll be hiding under the desk until the regular MA comes back up. Yell if ya need me.

That term does not relate to gun belt length. In all likeliness it is a football term from the late 60s (or was that early 70s? -- can't remember which). It never did relate to ammo belt length, that's an urban myth presented after the fact.

EDIT: But regarding the rest of what you typed, I'll be setting up checkpoints at the doors to my underground city to screen out these Terminators

Neither you nor I know the actual origin of that phrase, and debating it is futile. In this forum, accurately or not, 90% of the folks are going to equate the phrase to mean a complete and total effort, another few percent will associate it with gun belts, and the rest won't know what it means.

But thanks for the correction that may also be incorrect.

Maybe we in for some deep dish Chicago style mappage..?.

Stang · « **Reply #43 on:** February 27, 2006, 09:26:30 PM »

9 yards is an insignificant number of yards in football. Why the heck would it come from that?

I've seen what HTC's AI fighters can do... haxxor aim for your head style.
