I really must object to the unfair practice of some players by turning off their tracers. This is very unrealistic, I mean didnt any of you see Top Gun, and Pearl Harbor, those movies were as real as it gets.
Come on, how am I supposed to dodge your rounds if I cant see your tracers.
I expect all of you Pee-51-NoTracers-ShootingMyTailOff-Cheaters to turn your tracers back on now.
Thank you
We now return you to your regularly scheduled whine.

One Major problem with your logic Major Tom, it's incorrect. Many squadrons in WWII quit using tracers to help get the drop on unsuspecting targets. Movies show tracers because they're movies. I really hope you don't count on Hollywood to recreate history for you, God help us all. But seriously, read some accounts from the pilots who were there and fought in the skies above Europe or in the Pacific. Bottom line is.....it's your job, and your teamates job, to maintain situational awareness and keep an eye out for cons on your six.

He wasn't serious.

you'll scare the fishes!

That was about the worst "shameless attempt to get Rude's attention" post as I've ever seen.
Nice try, MajTom. But you weren't sincere enough. :)
-
Sorry banana, I'll try harder on the "sincerity" part. I wasnt really trying to get Rude's attention, I just figured it was Friday and I would do a little fishing. Obvisously its not very hard is it? I hooked HardTail didnt I? Hardtail how much do you weigh? so I can enter you in my record book. That hook in your mouth didnt hurt did it?
-
cc Sikboy, but with bait that bad- it shouldn't be legal to catch more than one.
:)

lol, no way.... who was it that put the "Perk the La7" post up and he EVEN SAID THAT IT WAS A TROLL!!!! but that didn't stop 50 people from getting into a huge debate over the merits of perking, the La-7, and each others geneology.... it was great. Some people were yelling "STOP THE MADNESS!!!" but they were trampled to death under a thousand keystrokes lol. It's amazing what you can troll with.
Hint to Major Tom: Include the word "LuftWhiner" in your post for best results.

With all of the idiots we have around here you can never be too safe. So I simply assumed you were as dim as you appeared to be and took the opportunity to help you out. Your post was nothing compared to some of the moronic rants I've seen in here.
By the way, I weigh 209 lbs.
Oh, and lbs. means pounds
-
Damn, SWulf, now I feel like I cheated, can I keep him? or is this stream strictly catch and release? I did use a barbless hook though.
-
Well, since he meets the weight requirements, you're allowed to keep him. It's a helluva big trophy too.
;)
-SW
-
No need at all to feel cheated Major Tom, after all it was I who assumed you to be geniune in the first place. So I do apologize, and I assure I will never assume you to be honest again.
-
No harm, no foul HardTail, all though I take offense to your statement "as dim as you appear to be" I mean I have the brightness turned up on my monitor as far as it will go, I cant be that dim.
Thanks for tip Sikboy, I'll remember that next time, just thought I would be out-of-bounds using that term seeing has how I usually spend about 80% of my time online in the D9 and 110g2.
-
This thread is almost as good as the claim (Funkedup ?) that anything less than 100% fuel going into combat was gaming the game! LOL!
-
Hey, it's all fun and games until someone gets an eye put out......Then it's just fun
-
I think you gut hooked him. Barb or no barb he'd die anyway.
Just cut the worms out before you fry it up and use alot of tartar sauce :)
-
Ou ou ou ou ou! This gets my vote to Rude for Whine of the Week! :D
-
Whine? I fail to see the whining. Truth is, I am relatively new to the BB, but I think I've got it figured out. How's this sound....
1) You post a really propostourus, ridiculous, or inflammatory thread in which you only PRETEND to be less than intelligent, or offensive.
2) Then you wait for someone to respond, inform, or try to set the record straight.
3) You attempt to ridicule that person for the effort they made in responding to, or countering your initial statement.
It's all so clear now.
-
Hey you're learning fast HardTail, for most people it takes a few more posts before they catch on.
You missed one though:
#4. Now we start verbally assulting each other and call into question each others parentage.
Also you can view Vruth's post as a troll within a troll, I think that scores more points.
Just consider this added value and training. A little verbal sparing is good for the soul.

MajTom,
This thread was extremely entertaining.....KEEP UP the fishing....I am still laughing.
ROOKS RULE!!!!!!!!!:D
Now if only we can win a war......lol

Top Gun, and Pearl Harbor, those movies were as real as it gets.

Either Vorticon is trying to troll, or the literacy rate of Canada just hit an all time low.

Alright everybody, there appears to be a shortage of commas and periods in Canada right now, or at least in Alberta. We all need to do our part and help. Right now I'm sending out some commas and periods, I have a few to spare. (,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,................) Verticon those should be enough to hold you over for the rest of the day.
Someone should check to see if they have enough !!!!!!!!!! and a few ::::::;;;;; """""" wouldn't either.
;)
-
Thanks vorticon, you just saved my ass.
-
Oh gawd, I was laughing so hard I had to leave my desk.
Alright Hardtail, wtg.
-
Me too AirScrew... but you know what this means now? You gotta throw him back... Vorticon is no prize trophy, but I'll bet he'll taste better over an open flame. :)
-SW

Ok, (AirScrew reluctently removes the hook from Hardtail's mouth and releases him into the cool running stream,) "I guess he'll just have to be the "big one" that got away". Then he took his net and scooped up the disoriented and confused verticon floundering on the bank. "I wonder what he would look like stuffed and mounted over my fireplace?"
Note: extra punctuation may have been used to help offset the unbalanced post by verticon.

LOL – this has been a good day of reading on the BBS.

Oh my sweet Jesus, Vorticon isn't a troll, he's a historian!

Major Tom, I salute you. Great match, well played.

Damn Sikboy, you're killing me, "Originally Spewed by Vorticon "
pretty much sums that up. Man, I need a beer and a cigarette.
-
Back at ya HardTail, I cant think of a better way to waste a Friday at work than trolling the BBS. Always fun.
(Actually I could probably think of a better way to waste a Friday, but I was referring to wasting the day but still sitting at my desk and looking like I was working)
I'll feel guilty on Monday when I realize I got so much work to do.

I never thought I would hear anyone say this. :P
-
I think Top Gun has long been overlook for its contributions to the military community as a whole. And Pearl Harbor? What else can be said that hasn't already been said (over and over again).
Pearl Harbor is released and suddenly everyone is pushing for the P-40. Coincidence? I think not, more like a conspiracy.

Back off on the Alberta Canada pokes or you'll have half of the 13th TAS and most Canucks hunting you... :p

MajTom,
Couldn't help but laugh when I read this. In all my time with AH I've never used tracers in fighters. Only the odd occasion when in a Buff or GV and even then I often turn them off when in a Flak Panzer.
Good Luck on your campaign to have the cheaters like me switch them on :-)

I'm glad everybody got a laugh out of this little thread this afternoon (except for Vorticon, I'm not sure if he got it or not, I know Canadians have a sense of humor, look at William Shatner)
Slapshot, I dont think I'm quite ready to give up my day job.
Anyway this thread only exists because so few gave so much for so many. (or something like that, kinda plagerized Winston Churchill and Spock).
Thanks HardTail for taking the bait and getting the ball rolling.
AKSwulfe, Sikboy, banana, and Eagler thanks for the cues and assists.
Vruth, good attempt at a whine within a troll and sticking up for the canadians (somebody has to) and Vorticon working on a whine with in a whine within a troll or was that a troll within a whine within a troll (I'm so confused!!!)
Glad we all had fun, great way to finish a week.
CYA up there

No canadians were harmed in the writing of the thread.
If any canuck feels a need to exact any revenge on my person or plane you'll have to wait till after Sunday, I'm out of town at a bowling tournament in Schulenberg.
