Title: A day for all AHrs to memorialize
Post by: Syzygyone on July 10, 2003, 03:25:48 PM
- ON THIS DAY -

On July 10, 1940, during World War II, the 114-day Battle of Britain began as Nazi forces began attacking southern England by air. By late October, Britain managed to repel the Luftwaffe, which suffered heavy losses.

And thus began the inevitable unstoppable juggernaut toward HTC and AH, and its maniacs and fools, punching keys and yanking toy sticks to maneuver cartoon airplanes around a computer screen to shoot each other down so that the kilt could reup in 10 seconds to do it all over again!

Gotta love it!
