If you are a homo...and touch me...I'll kill you.

I honestly thought his post was a self-critical summary of the attitudes displayed by several vocal Americans on this board. I thought he was being ironic and was about to congratulate the guy.

Then I realised he'd just 'gone fishin'.

Not so surprising if you consider that during the greatest period of immigration to the US approximately 40% of the immigrants were Germans.

And even less surprizing when the German immigrants say the work of Robert Goddard (an American) was the foundation on which they stood.  The work at Peenemunde was based on Goddards work.

Of course the Chineze had about a millenium head start in solid rocketry, not in throttleable liquid fuel.

Ahhh, Ace of Base.  The blond was cute, but the music really sucked.

Abba, the blond was cute, so was the brunette, and the music was a bit catchy, if a little corny.

McDonalds - a secret plot by cardiologists everywhere to get rich.

Better music can be heard by listening to the likes of Yes, Supertramp, Doobie Bros, The Coors, and James Taylor.

Ah, c'mon. I've never seen a more gaudy lure or treble hooks this big.

I've only got two luminaries on ignore. I'll read a lot of drivel before I push the button on someone.

I mean, I read this thread and didn't push the button on him. Despite the fact that the lure really didn't even put out the life-like flutter of a wounded minnow.

I have never put anyone on ignore, but it's funny how little it takes for some to put you on the list :)

BTW, this is my fist post on my brand-new roadwarrior laptop from a Holiday Inn express somewhere in California.

p.s. Beetle I still luv yah!
