Who are you? (pics)
« Reply #105 on: June 06, 2002, 06:27:08 PM »
Eighteen years ago after a long and non-illustrious career as a flight instructor, I gave up flying and developed a phobia which kept me away from airplanes of any kind.  I suspect it had something to do with the many students who were evidently paid to try to kill me.  In any case, there were benefits, I took various train trips east and west which put me in touch with the beauty of this country at ground level and I also brought a motor home for the same purpose and enjoyed it until I sold it a month or so ago.  While on vacation at Disney World to which I went via AutoTrain, out of a clear blue sky I was struck like Saul with the thought that something that I loved so much couldn't possibly kill me.  This was the result;

The war of 1406 saw a terrible coconut wastage. The thundering clump of riding steed was reduced to 2 peanut shells and a loud hailer.

Hope they are right, and I have probably missed some out, so if anyone knows any others (or if I have any wrong) please feel free to pipe up!  :D

SB is SharkBait (Harry Mason, the guy we see HT giving thanks to on the splashpage - unless I'm totally mistaken, but how often is that? :p )

TK was also Diche in game, but he's back to TK now.

and the Seeker shown here is Seeker, not FTSeeker.

Tex is Tex

Oldman, found in CT usually, not to be confuzt wid de OLDMn, he of the normal spelling challenged. :D

I beleive Rookie is in game now, as umm RookCAF?

Fry is, i think, Fryman. I do know Fry showed up with a Frysomething something.
Surrounded by suck and underwhelmed with mediocrity.
I'm always right, it just takes some poepl longer to come to that realization than others.
I'm not perfect, but I am closer to it than you are.

That because us fighter jocks excrete copious amounts of pheromones that attract so many pretty girls the choice is quite wide and varied.  :D
