Adonai is really pissed at me for calling him a classless loser.  He said if I show up at the Con that he will strafe the site, killing us all. He didn't say whether he would roll the F4U or the F18.  I'm staying away to save the lives of so many of us. Hmmm it would make one heck of a flyby though.

Maybe we can set a trap. You announce you are going and we get furball to fly high cap in his F/A-18 and when adonai is coming in to strafe furball dives in and sends a AIM-9 up his tail pipe. :aok




Main reason most don't go is the hundreds of dollars it takes just to get a room at the hotel not to mintion the cost for a round trip plane ride.

A college education is keeping me from going.  And money.  Just kidding.  I wouldn't be there if I did have the time and money.  Just not my thing.

Firstly.....money
Secondly....about 5,000 miles
Thirdly.....A stealthy data base of my finger prints and retina scan which is truly an infringement of anyones civil liberties unless convicted of a crime.

Lol, this is politically motivated response but wouldn't you, as a law abiding citizen of UK, give up some of your privacy to make your country more secure?  For example, if the government wants to tap all phone calls in US for keywords that relate to terrorist activity, I will gladly say go on ahead, plug me into the system that will make the country more secure.

Don't want to hijack the thread this just jumped out at me in a political season in the U.S.  Carry on  :salute
