Doesn't surprise me in the least.   :D  In fact I'll be adding it to my next order of books (to get the free shipping on it.)

I shoulda known.  Of all the one's to release.. the worst Golly-gee one of the bunch.  What really peaves me is that I'll most likely buy it anyways.

To my credit.. my guess was in second place ;)

Oh.. one DVD title of interest: "Snatch"

If you haven't seen that movie, go see it.  It is hilarious.

Snatch??  Is that about what I think it's about???    ;)

I agree that the #1 seller is the worst of the bunch, BUT...  It's still gonna be worth it for the 480 minutes of watermelon they're putting in it.  Maybe somewhere in there, the director/writer will apologize for that bumbling, idiotic...  THING!  I hope they kill that abomination off in the next one.    ;)

(edit)  btw, great flying last night at P32.  <S!>  You were giving us fits in that Hellkittie.  Sorry I had to destroy your CV with the shore battery tho!  :D

Yes Nate... I agree.

A little bit too ironic, but still it was really interesting.

see, you just said freak.  Not certifiable nut!   ;)  The best part about the DVD is you can skip to the worthwhile parts of the movie (i.e. anytime a lightsaber is ignited!)

British flick by the same guy that did "Lock, Stock, and Two Smoking Barrels".  The movie is pretty damn funny.  Brad Pitt has a small part in it as a British Gypsy bare fisted boxer.

Its pretty hilarious.

Hehehehe... <S>.  You guys were just a tad outnumbered when I nailed ya.  And, I don't really mind you sinking the CV... but your CV spawned right under me as I was RTB A28 at 4k.  That hurt.  ;)

 ;)  I do remember you saying something about the CV spawning in the buffer now...  Yeah, Puke and I were outnumbered 2 to 1 (I think I counted two Seafires along with your F6F and the DHog.)  Puke almost had you though, I was hoping he'd get you before you got me.  No such luck!   ;)  Was fun though!  Hehe, couldn't believe you guys didn't try to take out the shore battery, and I thank you for it!   :D

Hehehehe.. what was funny was that after you went down, Puke started gunning specifically for me <seemed that way>, but he didn't like the idea of someone getting on his 6 as he did it.  Made him an easy target for an stabilizer removal by one of my squadies.  I then proceded to steal the kill from my squadie just to spite anyone that might be targetting me at the time ;)

As for the shore battery, we weren't really that concerned about it since the base was re-captured.  The CV was respawning there and there wasn't really much hope of a serious battle.  We just decided to have fun killing you all before things died down :D

Ahh, that's why you let me target practice on the CV!   ;)  I needed the practice too!  

Just think if it was that other sim...  I coulda just gone into a  5.5g flat turn and dragged the lot of you around for minutes at at time!   :D

Yea Traffic was awesome.
 
 One movie I somehow missed and just seen the other night was Space Cowboys. I LMAO watching it. Exp when Tommy Lee Jones took that kid up for his "scary ride"  :D

 Couching Tiger was too hoky for me. Matrix was Awesome but it inspired too many toejam movies IMO.

 Best Movies Ive seen lately "vidio rentals"

 Space Cowboys
 Vertical Limit
 Castaway
 Mission to Mars "not red planet" I like sifi  :)
 Tora Tora Tora " whops PHs ass"
