SW it's a promo.

Rip, Wladyslaw Gnys scored the first two allied aerial victories of WWII. He scored two more in Poland, and scored another flying for the French after Poland fell to the Nazis. You can read more here: http://www.elknet.pl/acestory/gnys/gnys.htm

Hangtime the four letter words weren't taken but it was impossible for me to fit the four letter word and the letters "iEN" into a six letter handle.

Hey Prophet,
You know our prime minister has limited power when compared to the US president / king.
Sometimes this is a good thing, sometimes it is not.

"I really wish Canada could stay out of the problems US has caused for itself, but this time we can't. What happened in NYC is also an attack on us, don't think otherwise.

We are nee deep in this toejam whole, and it going to hurt some more to get out"
