ok, may have posted this already - but still good for a chuckle - mostly because is mocks the French. *"France has neither winter nor summer nor morals. Apart from these drawbacks it is a fine country. France has usually been governed by prostitutes."* --Mark Twain ------------------------------ "I would rather have a German division in front of me than a French one behind me." --General George S. Patton ------------------------------ "Going to war without France is like going deer hunting without your accordion." --Norman Schwartzkopf (I love this one) ------------------------------ "We can stand here like the French, or we can do something about it." --Marge Simpson ------------------------------ "As far as I'm concerned, war always means failure." --Jacques Chirac, President of France "As far as France is concerned, you're right." --Rush Limbaugh ------------------------------ "The only time France wants us to go to war is when the German Army is sitting in Paris sipping coffee." --Regis Philbin ------------------------------ "The French are a smallish, monkey-looking bunch and not dressed any better, on average, than the citizens of Baltimore. True, you can sit outside in Paris and drink little cups of coffee, but why this is more stylish than sitting inside and drinking large glasses of whisky I don't know." --P.J. O'Rourke (1989) ------------------------------ "You know, the French remind me a little bit of an aging actress of the 1940s who was still trying to dine out on her looks but doesn't have the face for it." --John McCain, U.S. Senator from Arizona ------------------------------ "You know why the French don't want to bomb Saddam Hussein? Because he hates America, he loves mistresses and wears a beret. He is French, people." --Conan O'Brien ------------------------------ "I don't know why people are surprised that France won't help us get Saddam out of Iraq. After all, France wouldn't help us get Hitler out of France either." --Jay Leno ------------------------------ "The last time the French asked for 'more proof' it came marching into Paris under a German flag." --David Letterman ------------------------------ "Only thing worse than a Frenchman is a Frenchman who lives in Canada." --Ted Nugent ------------------------------ "The favorite bumper sticker in Washington D.C. right now is one that says 'First Iraq, then France.'" --Tom Brokaw ------------------------------ "What do you expect from a culture and a nation that exerted more of its national will fighting against DisneyWorld and Big Macs than the Nazis?" --Dennis Miller ------------------------------ "It is important to remember that the French have always been there when they needed us." --Alan Kent ------------------------------ "They've taken their own precautions against al-Qa'ida. To prepare for an attack, each Frenchman is urged to keep duct tape, a white flag, and a three-day supply of mistresses in the house." --Argus Hamilton ------------------------------ "Somebody was telling me about the French Army rifle that was being advertised on eBay the other day -- the description was, 'Never shot. Dropped once.'" --Rep. Roy Blount, MO ------------------------------ "The French will only agree to go to war when we've proven we've found truffles in Iraq." --Dennis Miller ------------------------------ "Raise your right hand if you like the French, raise both hands if you are French." --Unknown ------------------------------ Q. What did the mayor of Paris say to the German Army as they entered the city in WWII? A. Table for 100,000 m'sieur? ----! -------------------------- "Do you know how many Frenchmen it takes to defend Paris? It's not known, it's never been tried." --Rep. R. Blount, MO ------------------------------ "Do you know it only took Germany three days to conquer France in WWII? And that's because it was raining." --John Xereas, Manager, DC Improv ------------------------------ The AP and UPI reported that the French Government announced after the London bombings that it has raised its terror alert level from Run to Hide. The only two higher levels in France are Surrender and Collaborate. The rise in the alert level was precipitated by a recent fire which destroyed France's white flag factory, effectively disabling their military. ------------------------------ French Ban Fireworks at Euro Disney (AP), Paris, March 5, 2003 The French Government announced today that it is imposing a ban on the use of fireworks at Euro Disney.

drat...back up and no 4.06

how do you do it? I wasn't able to post on the track portion of the site (wouldn't upload). Is there a different way? I have this odd trak of a mission from Saturday. Flying along in my PE2 minding my own biz, when I was bnz'd by a 109. Blew me in half, but I kept flying straight and level for about 20 second...with no tail. Thought it was a bit funny.

oh yea, and I can see you spending hours and hours mission building - placing cigarette butts by the park benches - and making every 3rd light bulb burnt out.

maybe Ben Aflick could play the captain of the HMS Hood: "The Bismark is faster, but we can turn quicker"

Arsenal screams away in his Mig 3 Arsenal finishes off his prey - no doubt giggling like a maniac. Hard to communicate on TS when Arsenal is screaming "Burn Fascist bastage, Burn!" at the top of his lungs. Remax - above the clouds. Nothing special - I just really like this skin. (why does every screenshot show a heading of Jensenpark has been downed by..."? another of my favourite skins...british buffalo - from the Singapore defence. Has that cool one wing black, one wing white on the bottom.

Just ordered Lucky Thirteen BG...thanks for the tip. Waldo, Dubb can lend you my copy of the eastern front epic - we'll do a trade off at the airshow.

Klinger:

didn't see that. Cameron stayed at my hotel in St John's - filming a similiar thing for the titanic (not the movie though) believe it or not, his credit card was declined.

too freaking cool. if I had Bill Gate's money - I'd retire and spend my time looking for old WW2 treasure like this...

do you ever sit in a boring meeting and pretend to hit Cntl E to escape?

Great camera work/editing. I liked the part where they are RTB nice and safe - and all of a sudden there is Hartmann's 109.

I love Peter Worthington. He was a Korean War vet and one of the strongest supporters of our vets. Nice post man...thanks.

Hey, I don't mind the tie...

How can you tell ol' Rattler is ex-military, eh?

couple of are going to gather on freelancers new b/up TS tonight. I'll be on around 7:30pm PST... see private forums to get TS IP and p/w

besides the ok pay, free food and booze and other stuff, I have one great fringe benefit running a hotel: I seem to meet alot of WW2 vets. Today I was chatting with an older gent from Seattle who was wanting to move out of his (nicer) top floor guest room to get a better harbourview - as he liked watching the seaplanes. We chatted about the horrible noise they make and how they bother people on the harbour side of the hotel. "well I'm interested in them as I was a fly boy...was in B17's in the war". Well - that got him an immediate invite to the grand office for a chat. He was a Yank who was going to school in the UK since 1933. Had flown since he was 14. Joined the RAF when he was old enough and was in their training program when the US joined the war and started coming over to the UK in droves. He stupidly switched services (his words) and was told to return to the US for pilot training. Worried he'd miss out fighting Nazi's he asked to stay and be posted immediately to whatever the US had. So he flew as a side gunner for a while, and ended up as a bombardier. Did a full tour. Bombed over Germany lots, Holland, France. Unfortunately he had to leave before I could get him to share more stories. I thought it was funny - here was was already an experienced pilot - in training with the RAF. He went to the US Embassy and was 'talked into' moving to the US forces. No one told him it meant leaving the UK and going and doing the training in the US. He was so dedicated to the notion of fighting the Nazi's he stayed as a 'mere' gunner rather than leave for a year or so in the US to train. After the war he ended up in Seattle and spent his entire career with Boeing. Finally flying... His son, John Roundhill ended up there as well - as quite the famous Exec with Boeing.

I hear you man. I always root for you, but it's like chearing for the Washington Generals against the Harlem Globetrotters.

May I point out that I was appointed Chaplain for this fine group of fighting heros. Painful is the chaplain for those who worship little pagen idols...like a Hotas stick or something.

sorry, please bring that book on Saturday. I'll bring beer. Yes...that's right, my Aussie friend...beeeeeeeeer!

How is it they can spend so much money on the great CG graphics, but obviously spend nothing on a screenplay. It's like Pearl Harbour with Ben Affleck all over again. Disgraceful in the fact so many will think it is historic - and not Hollywood crap. Barf! (ok...long link I know...cut and paste in and it works...unfortunately). A long link gone short

Dub: please bring that book on Saturday.

You've killed me off many times virtually...I'm sure you are just itchin' too in reality as well, aren't you? :wink:

did you sabotage it?
