Con 2002 photos

[Maniac]

Never before in history, have mankind witnessed so many people at the same place with their T-Shirt tucked in.

 

[Ghosth]

Ripsnort I think W@n ker devolved into WOW.

Lots of 332nd right in the center of the first pic.
With banana, Sour, Myself, Teeerex, Daddog behind, Loser to the right with his girlfriend.

I see a lot of other faces I recognise, but trying to blow the cobwebs off to put names with them.
Well I need more coffee before thats going to happen.

Those were indeed the "Good ol days" Rip!

I miss Yankee

[Ripsnort]

Swoop, I'll have to check these out when I get home. Imageshack or whatever is blocked here at the big aluminum kite factory.

I don't recall who took the picture of the squad, but they did use my camera.

Never before in history, have mankind witnessed so many people at the same place with their T-Shirt tucked in.

 

This was when men had something in their pants to show off. The younger generation NEEDS to cover up with untucked shirts, otherwise they'd look like they have a camel toe!

Oh no you di'int!

Loser to the right with his girlfriend.

Only the older generation of Brits will understand this but Loser looks exactly like a young Ken Dodd.

[Ripsnort]

Great pics Swoop! (Except for that bald orb with the shaving cut on the top... ) I think you sent these to me on a CD but I've since lost it.
Say, AKCurly been around? Anyone heard from him?

Remember when Urchin came down the elevator in his undies all messed up?  Reminds me of Alan in "The Hangover" now! LOL!

[Ripsnort]

Oh, the guy standing next to Urchin is "Raub".  Here he is when we went up to see the ME262 project north of Everett before she flew:



Raubovel (sp) was in the military I believe. Not sure where he is stationed these days or what he's up to.

[Swoop]

Oh yeah!  He's the one who brought the 1911 Colt with homemade 280 grain ammo to the range.

[Urchin]

Raubvogel I believe is how it was spelled - he was the other guy in the picture with me. 

That was a wild time lol.  I'm not sure I have ever been more drunk in my entire life.

[Swoop]

Lessee, what else happened at that con.  Didn't Curv pass out by the elevator on the way back to the suite from Rip & Udie's suite?

Someone stole Phantom's squad T-shirt, hence why he's in a beer stained yellow thing in the pics.

Someone punched HiTech too!  Wasn't it Loser?

I got a tiny bit drunk at the con dinner, then came the evil con mission where we had me163s with 4x the fuel load and double the ammo......I landed 5 kills (christ only knows how cos when I say "tiny bit drunk" I actually mean "ratted") and when half the con room went "Woo! Go Swoop!" I stood up and saluted the wall for some unknown reason.  Numpty.

I remember someone saying the FDBs were having a wild party so we all piled up to the top floor expecting the worst debauchery you can imagine only to find a room full of very fat men sat around talking about rust removable from Camero wheel arches.  

And I think Udie said he wanted to go for beers with me about a thousand times cos "the women would love the accent".  And for anyone that doesnt know, Udie talks exactly like Boomhauer from king of the hill.

[Urchin]

Loser threw a punch at Pyro I believe.

[Ripsnort]

LOL! Great memories Swoop and Urchin. That was a fun con. I remember being in bed at 3am about ready to fall asleep when we 4 dummies walked in with a camera. Thank goodness the sheep had already checked out. 

FDski and his vodka, then beer, and I remember the evil con mission as well as dinner. Oh, and the gun range and what a great shot you were, Swoop. The rest was a blur, it went so fast.

[Swoop]

Oh yeah and someone stole my target too!

Heh, I also remember Puck handing me this Taurus 92F clone and saying "show me what you can do".....me looking down the site and squeezing the trigger only to ask Puck a few seconds later there the **** the safety catch was. lol


And as for the invasion at 3am.....well it was the last night of the con and instead of partying with the rest of us you'd crashed out without a word!  What did you expect?
