someone dropped a pint glass behind the bar while I was waiting to be served today and it smashed. Nothing interesting in that other than the first thing that popped into my head was:
I'd have got a prox kill for that
Not good. I think I'm officially addicted.

Yep, been there.
Was walking back from class a month or so ago, a good distance behind a particularly wonderful female specimen. The first sign something was odd was when I thought to myself, "she's gotta be at least d20 away, time to kick in WEP." The whole time i'm WEPping, I'm thinking "Gotta stay on this one's six." Followed her for quite a while (in my defense, we were actually going in the same direction). She went around a bend in the sidewalk. AHA!!! Lead pursuit! Time to close the range a bit. Now I'm thinking, Ha, snuck up right on her six, got the range perfect now.
Next she gets to a turn in the sidewalk, and I again I'm pulling lead. But then, she suddenly stops. Chop throttle!!! Chop throttle!!! Don't midair! You're going to overshoot! I can't just stop in the middle of the sidewalk and look like a weirdo trying to check out the girl's ass, so my next instinct is a high yoyo. No go, I can't go up. So it's lag pursuit time.
I swing the turn real wide, in somewhat clumsy lag pursuit, and we both stop at the crosswalk. She turns around and gives me one of those little half smiles.
I pretend I didn't notice. I'm an idiot.
Needless to say, she had a very nice six.

Read this in the sports section not too long ago
"Tigers overrun hornets"
(Actually one local basketball team beat the other)
In my mind I was able to picture Tigers overrunning an enemy base/town. Guess that officically makes me an addict lol
-
I'm usually pretty good about concealing my addiction. The only real problem occurs when I occasionally say "check 6" to someone so they'll look at the chick walking up behind them.

I've said "C C" so many times to my wife she now understands what it means. That is the give away for me... or maybe it's not as bad as the couple of times I've ignored opportunities to have sex with her so I can keep a good sortie going...
Send me to the Betty Ford Clinic please, I am an addict.
-
I said 'CC' once too. What's really scary is that I don't play all that much - only 2-3 hours a week tops.
I once turned down sex in order to go row in a university competition, but I'll never do that for a computer game. My mind was working over-drive trying to think of an excuse to give to my crew - strained muscle, got-run-over-by-a-car-but-it-is-not-very-serious, fell asleep. Anything to get out of it and stay with this girl. In the end I just left, and swore all the way down to the boat house in a foul mood.
Funny thing is that I put in the best performance of my life and we won by about 5 boat lengths. :D
-
Driving home from work late one night, the wee hours of the morning actually, on "Gandy Bridge" (rather long bridge between St Pete and Tampa Florida) I noticed another car, the ONLY other car far ahead of me... just a dot really. Now usually this bridge is real fun for figuring the top speed of your ride, but that dot way out there had me thinking "hmmm...cop?". Had to chuckle when I realized I had no way to "Zoom in" the view.

I was the only one in ops who knew what Are all details Charlie Charlie? mean't after a request from an American captain over the ops radio a couple of years ago...and they say computer games waste your mind!

I keep using the Stero volume control on my steering wheel while driving as a "Zoom" button to see if there is a cop on the shoulder up ahead..
-
Scary ain't it! :eek: Wife was walking into the kitchen the other day and knocked a Coke over on the way, I said, "Check 6!". :rolleyes:
-
I was out trying to get some coyotes to come in to my pathetic rabbit call. It just so happens that the canyon I was in is on the approach/ depart line for the local airport. So here I am all by my self when I here a single engine prop plane coming in, he was screwing around and flew within 500 ft of the top of the canyon. First reaction was to Identify: Cesna 210, then I thought about its strong points and its weaknesses... and the best way to dog fight it. Definitly a turn and burn plane not a B&Z. I was able to keep myself from having Ostiwind flashbacks and pull my 14lb varmit rifle up to look at it through the scope..... Hmmmm I wonder if anyone has made a mil-dot reticle for the Osti?
Need a vacation:rolleyes:
-
I do this all the time. My wife will be in the Kitchen doing something and my 3 year old daughter will creep up behind her. I always give my wife a 6 call so she does not turn around and trip over the baby.
She's gotten used to it, and the occasionally, 'Roger that" when she asks me to do something.
But turning down sex for AH...NEVER!!! Of course, getting a little somthing WHILE playing AH...well...thats another story. I don't think I'm that addicted, yet.

I work on cars and there are alot of people hanging around one vehicle doing various things. Under the hood and around the car.
I got a few weird looks when saying "check 6" instead of "excuse me" the first week when trying to get by another person.
Now not only do people understand what im saying, but several other non-simmers are saying this at work.
I think the most messed up thing is my cats though. I have two cats that are still fairly young so they still like to play alot with each other.
If one cat is about to be "bounced" by the other. I will give the cat that is going to be jumped a check six. And EVERY time the cat will either jump in the air and turn around, or do the split S cat manouver and be ready to kick the attacking cat off.
weird.

Signed an office e-mail with my 'handle'.

Hit a deer about 9 months ago in a Jeep.
Antler busted through radiator.
Coolant leaking out.
First thought?

PS: "CC" is now part of my vocabulary. The locals can live with it.

You don't want to hear what happened to that cesna 2000ft below me monday.

Hehe, Hitech duct taped some .50's to his wings :D
Seriously, I think they need to add 'rtb' to the dictionary.
A few times when driving home for dinner, I mention to the co-pilot (err passenger) we're RTB'ing for a hotfuel.
I say BRB outloud to others... thankfully they're geeky enough to understand, laugh, and use it themselves :D
-
Was responding to an accident on the interstate the other day with my partner, as we pulled up onto the ramp at full speed I said "whats our 6 look like?"
as he looked at me and said "huh?" I was cutting off an 18 wheeler. I guess not everyone understands....
-
I used check 6 once in the household and got my face smacked pretty good for it. Fiance was bending over behind the couch, picking something up from the floor. I came running through and screamed check 6 and smacked her bellybutton as hard as I could. and dove over the couch. I will let you all use your imagination on the beating I recieved.
-
About a year and a half ago I was on my way to work which consist of one stretch of road that is an s-turn.
I came up behind a smoking car that was slowing down going through the s-curve. My first thought was, "He's smoking. Saddle his six a little closer and just use cannons to finish him."
I laughed about it for several minutes.
-
i dont use the check 6 call at home however i say the ole CC all the time, also when wifey gives an order i reply ROGER,occassionally i tend to pull my car across the double lines to get a lead shot on the car in front of me, and i tail wag when someone is tailgaiting my car, in a desperate attempt to shake them off of my 6:)
-
accidently killed my horn on my car yesterday trying to fire 20mm at someone...keep on trying to jump the the back of the station wagon whenever a sportscar comes up behind me...

Definitely! Tell all, HiTech! :)

Check 6, Roger, CC became part of my vocabulary long time ago. Everyone around me adapted those words and started using them as well.
-

Ridin my mountain bike descending a track in the woods very fast, at the end of the woods I enter a clearing and ....ahhh, I'm in a bunch of sheeps; my first thought. "dont touch them or you will explode!"

I was playing a lot of Nascar Racing a few years back and noticed I had slipped from a 30-year old fairly cautious driver back to my teen days. A fender bender while slicing through traffic with a cab on Lake Shore Drive (who was going even faster and much more reckless) cured that -- one of those racing things, but the Taco Bell Mazda was runnin' fine.
When I hear a glass drop I always say "Airborn" an old mess hall habit from the basic training days.

I can hear the motorcycles racing across it on Friday and Saturday nights. Invariably I end up scrolling my views while on AH to see if that's the sound of an incoming aircraft.

Sure, if you push it out the back of a C-5 Galaxy at 30k... :D

I've been at 20k in a cesna.... of course it was a 421b. (twin engine, press. cabin) :D Company I work for has 3 of them, and a 210 & astar 350ba (helo). The 421 was the first plane I ever got to take the controlls for a while, no landing or taking off, just flying.
