Title: Aces high Syndrome...
Post by: TheWobble on January 26, 2001, 10:38:00 PM
Symptoms:

1) When you get in your car you look for the "E" to start the engine.

2)You watch every car coming twords you fearing that one might be a "HO Dweeb"

3) you ask your wife if she parked out front or in the hanger.

4) when someone cuts you off you regret not choosing a HVAR loadout.

5) if you hit something you try to hit ALT-D to check damage.

6)you ask passengers in you car if they see the enemy CV.

7) you refer to cars superior to yours as "UBER"

8) when someone cuts you off your first instict is to get and remember their name so you can yell at them on the BB.

9) you pull into gas stations to REFUEL and get upset when it takes more than 30 seconds.

10) you get very nervous when another car is on yer six and watch for tracers because the driver may think this is FFA.

Please add to this list so that we may better spot and treat this illness  (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/smile.gif)

1. You try to drive your car using the stick shift to turn, the driver window crank for throttle and the gas and clutch as rudder pedals.

2. You start yelling, "hack cheater" when the guy behind you is able to follow you even though he has no wings or vertical stabilizer.

3. When you get into an accident you tell the police officer that the other car was "warping"

4. When the sun goes down you are suprised when it doesn't just pop back up again in 20 seconds.

(1)When you are in a conversation with someone at work, and you almost say "LOL" before you realize you aren't typing.

(2)When you click the refresh button on the AH BBS every minute at work to catch a new post. Then you frantically try to get your work done at the end of the day.

(3)You find yourself calculating the amount of sleep you can still get if you just fly "one more sortie."

1. Imagining your diving in a 190 as you start down a long steep hill in the car.

2. You sign your AH handle to an e-mail addressed to your boss! (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/wink.gif)

1)  When describing, to your wife, a night out with friends as a 'nice furball' or 'fun sortie'.

2)  When you cut a nasty fart and yell "CHECK 6!".

3)  When you see someone slip and fall on an ice patch and think, "nice hammerhead".

4)  When cruising the country side and spotting a flock of sheep and think, "those gotta be nit sheep,...check the stinch".

5)  When you see a very good looking woman and think, "she is way over-modeled".

6)  When your significant other starts harping on you, you reach for your headset volumn control.

7)  When driving, and you spot an oncoming car in the distance, you wonder if it is friendly or foe and you look disparately for the radar bar.

8)  When walking through a crowd, you plot your path to avoid a HO and not give them a snapshot.

9)  When you lose power at your home, your first thought is you cannot turn on your computer.

10) When you can't remember your wife's birthday, but do remember when AH was first released.

Ditto, I've never lost power...since I always have power!  Its funny to see the whole area black except my 6 bright porch lights when my generator is running, its my way of telling the neighborhood 'THINK AHEAD, ALWAYS THINK AHEAD!

You all have forgot to mention those sleeping problems..

While sleeping, you think of maneuvers, planes, plans etc. stuff, therefore giving you restless sleep.

Hehehe,

When your wife is driving and closing quickly on another car on a curve, you tell her to "Drop into lag pursuit to decrease closure rate and avoid the overshoot."

I've actually done this.  She was silent for a minute and then asked me what the hell I was talking about.  After I told her she said "You play that damned game too much."   (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/cool.gif)

I told her she didn't play it enough.  (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/biggrin.gif)

1) “Roger” and “Negative” become every day speech.  I actually caught myself doing this in a conference call.

2) Crying out “GUNS GUNS GUNS” on the highway, knowing if the salamander in front of you only had a clue as to what was in store for him later online.

3) Making plans to upgrade a computer system that was just purchased with in a year to increase the throughput and resolution.  Everything else is perfect, but man wouldn’t it be better if…

When you're out dancing with friends and at some point you're getting exhausted and thirsty and you shout BINGO FUEL ... Return to BAR

When you fly the tow plane of your aeroclub and you wonder why they threw in that huge flap handle and not a Q and W key.. and on takeoff you're desperately trying to push the engine into WEP
