Post by: Cleaner on May 19, 2000, 02:52:00 PM: Thought I had it figured out, but everytime I read a new post somebody uses it in a different context. Now, how's a pilot suppose to work his way to Dweebden without the criteria to follow (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/confused.gif)

Dweebs of Death

This man has dedicated himself to maintaining the dweeb code of honor: "Death before dishonor... often just moments before."

I didn't see reference to the other motto for DoD: "We fly so that others may kill".

http://lone1.home.mindspring.com/scav/scavhome.htm (http://lone1.home.mindspring.com/scav/scavhome.htm)

...you are a dweeb.

"Dweeb" does not always have a negative connotation. Nor is it just necesarily a belittling adjective that gets tossed around casually. (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/smile.gif) Sometimes being a dweeb is a good thing. Especially if you frequently find that you go "diving down."

I read the Book of Dweeb a few days after I first downloaded Warbirds before I signed up for an account.

I read the whole damn thing straight through and signed up a platinum account the next day (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/biggrin.gif)

Verse Five
Thus was begat....the HA Dweeb. The HA dweeb left the flocks of the orthodox dweeb for a icon-forsaken land known as the Historical Arena. Ye may also know it as the HA. And there the dweebs fought many fewer dweebs like themselves. And the dweebs flew above 5K feet. And the dweebs executed historical bounces, as their dweebish victims failed to divine their approach. And the dweebs did tempt the dweebs of the Main Arena, that they might join the HA dweebs. And, lo, the HA grew. And bombers did begin to appear. And Dortmund and Essen and Frankfurt did once again cower under an umbrella of dweebs: hard-turning Spits and slashing Focke Wulfs. Agile P-38s and crafty 109s. And the dweebs partook of flight without the holy icon of iMOL and saw that it was good.
