Title: What is _your_ ride... and what does it say about you?
Post by: Vulcan on August 17, 2000, 07:18:00 PM: I've been involved in some pyschologic studies recently and we've been studying the significance of naming objects, especially the naming of mechanical objects by men (such as cars etc) with names of animals, references of power etc, and the relationship between those objects and the men that use them.

Now the basic idea is that the name is used to enhance the object, often trying to make it appear more than it is. It also has a relationship to enhancing the guys way he feels about himself, and is often used to attract men suffering insecureness, and yes - in some cases - with small anatomical bits on their bodies.

So if we apply this to AH, what does this say about the various Mustang, Spitfire, Lightning, and Thunderbolt pilots?

Obviously it indicates these pilots suffer some sort of insecurity, or have small weenies, or both.

Whereas this theory shows that 190, 109, Yak, and even N1K pilots (who don't feel the need to fly a plane named after some sort of animal or electrical weather occurrance) are confident, have no personal issues and have normal sized or even large weenies. I suppose applied properly even buff pilots are okay to (B26, B17).

Your thoughts?

Post by: Yosus on August 17, 2000, 08:08:00 PM: The opposite could well be true! It could indicate that the riders of British/US planes are brutally honest about themselves, and do not have fragile ego's.

For example, "Thunderbolt", "Spitfire", "Typhoon" and "Hurricane" could indicate a predisposition to flatulence and that burning sensation the next day, brought on by a weakness for Jalapeno Peppers.

"Lighting" might proclaim a propensity to premature ejaculation. Very self efacing I think (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/biggrin.gif).

I guess "Mustang" drivers really do have small anatomical appendages, but then everyone knows about the connotation, so it's not a ruse for aggrandisment anymore (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/wink.gif).

Cheers

I can't get my Ch products to calibrate in AH, so i had to scrap the game. Whats funny is, i flew for months only able to make left turns and rolls, and i wasn't that bad (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/smile.gif)

But i've NEVER stopped reading these boards, I'm just not a very good typer, or elequient with words, so i don't post very often.

CH products, "had" all my money... i religiously bought ONLY CHproducts.... till they just went haywire in win98... i will never spend another dime on CH products. I bought a wingman extreme and actually paid for a AH subscribtion tonite,,,, Till i got the "mom" comments while flying... well, i have a pretty thick skin,,, but i decided that 30 bucks a month to hear crap like i heard is just not worth it, and will cancel my account after flying under an hour.
HTC can keep the crap players they have as a customer base. good luck and see you around.
