I can’t help but feel at least partially responsible.

Targets of Opportunityblog advertising is good for you Credo"Sign on, young man, and sail with me. The stature of our homeland is no more than the measure of ourselves. Our job is to keep her free. Our will is to keep the torch of freedom burning for all. To this solemn purpose we call on the young, the brave, the strong, and the free. Heed my call, Come to the sea. Come Sail with me." -- John Paul Jones "Pardon him, Theodotus; he is a barbarian, and thinks that the customs of his tribe and island are the laws of nature" --George Bernard Shaw, "Caesar and Cleopatra" "And those who were seen dancing were thought to be insane by those who could not hear the music."--Friedrich Nietzsche "A kind Providence has placed in our breasts a hatred of the unjust and cruel, in order that we may preserve ourselves from cruelty and injustice. They who bear cruelty, are accomplices in it. The pretended gentleness which excludes that charitable rancour, produces an indifference which is half an approbation. They never will love where they ought to love, who do not hate where they ought to hate."--Edmund Burke “You say that it is your custom to burn widows. Very well. We also have a custom: when men burn a woman alive, we tie a rope around their necks and we hang them. Build your funeral pyre; beside it, my carpenters will build a gallows. You may follow your custom. And then we will follow ours.”--General Sir Charles Napier "Μολὼν λαβέ" -- Leonidas "Blogito Ergo Sum" -- Neptunus Lex Amazon AssociateFor the Effort!Winnar!

Debrief!! We want, nay, demand a full debrief!! And pictures!!
I can’t help but feel at least partially responsible.
Imagine that.
Erudite. I didn’t know chaplains spoke like that online!
OUR Chap in training talks like that? I could see the whites of his eyes turning green with envy. I guess he will need to do some remedial exegetical work on jealousy and envy before he granulates Seminary.
Yes. Sadly, that’s “our” chaplain. *sigh*
Although I must shoulder some of the blame. The original plan was for us to arrange a flight against each other, but it didn’t work out. So, I knew exactly what I was doing when I raised the subject with him on Facebook.
You’ll have to remind him of the one that mentions “covet thy neighbors goods” covers ACM hops too
Have fun, and YES we want pictures!
FbL, I hope you’re not prone to airsickness- otherwise Lex will change that “suck” into “blow.” Bring a bag…better yet, bring two.
…and make sure Lex points out the other guy’s backup light. You don’t want him sneaking past you in reverse.
Backup light? Well, if the Italian guy gets a Harrier, and is allowed thrust vectoring, than Fuzzybear and Lex should be entitled to an F/A-18.
Or the sneaky–ABSOLUTELY CRUEL
–trick by Lex (perish the thought) pointing out something interesting, say, on your right, and gaining your attention–then breaking HARD left.
Break hard enough to the left and 360 degrees later, you’ll be able to see what was so interesting on the right.
Ca. 1994, in an OH-6 with the doors off, 120 knots, at 1,500 MSL.
Me: “Wow — that guy must be expecting a tough winter. Looka the *size* of that woodpile at 3 o’clock…”
Victim (leaning out the door and straining against the straps) “Where?”
Me (retarding throttle to idle): “Engine failure.”
The Conversation had me laughing – now try some negative Gs.
video per chance??
The term is “gun camera footage”. I wanna see the part where FbL strafes the guy’s dinghy , after she shoots him down!
In color.
To that end, I recommend huevos rancheros for brekkies — with lots of red and green peppers — and a blueberry muffin with marmalade…
Is this a first? One of our own as part of the show and a Lex babe no less.
No pressure Fbl but we *are* expecting three victories.
You guys do know that if she backs out after listening to all of this, none of you will ever hear the end of it?
Hey, does she get a call sign? Gotta have a call sign!
FBL=FooBarLady?
Fliegendebar Lead? Since she is a Flying Bear.
Better than others I’ve read but doesn’t exactly roll of the tongue. Maybe if I was German.
She’ll need background music:http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pLgJ7pk0X-s
Better link http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pLgJ7pk0X-s
Damn. Now I’M jealous! Enjoy the flight, fbl.
Just how many times have you forced me to point out that I hate you, FbL?
How many times have you brought out my worser, impolite and oh-so unCanadian side?
You should be ashamed of yourself …
And, yeah, what he said. You (still) suck.
BTW there will be camera footage. Chez Lex deamds it.
Ok banter banter, jokes. silliness.
Fact 1: FBL sucks
Fact 2: FBL continues to suck
Fact 3: FBL goes up in the air with Lex
Fact 4: FBL sucks a little more
Fact 5:…..we’re waiting.
Impatiently.
Thank you Michelle & Kris – I knew I wasn’t alone!
And yes, FbL – you still suck!
Facts, shmacts. Who cares when you’re having fun? The facts just get in the way.
I’ve been moving residences since bright & early yesterday morning, can finally sit down. Looks as if I got my internet reconnected at just the right time. I’m trying my best not to say that FbL sucks, but I am anxiously awaiting an AAR.
Such language! From a Baptist! And a divinity student, too! I am shocked! Shocked, I tell you!
P.s. Next thing you know, he’ll be dancing.
…in a bar!
AAR:
1. I lived
2. I didn’t thoroughly embarrass myself
3. I do believe they’re right: flying really is the most fun you can have with your clothes on.
You forgot one:
4. I still suck.
Sorely lacking in detail, FBL. Better spill it before Lex does!
Ok, who won? And how many times did the loser “die?”
P.s. Guncam pics or it didn’t happen. That’s a Rule of the Internet, or something. Really good Photoshop job counts.
Somewhere in all of this I’m sure at least three of the four cardinal rules of righteous Baptists have been transgressed – and as I understand it, dancing may happen soon. What is this world coming to? All over a measly little bit of time in the air. *sigh*
I never would have thought that the Flight of the Fuzzybear, in the Fuzzybear Corsair would have made it to You Tube that fast, but it did:

That was cool of Lex to fly wing for her, in his F4U. Well done Fuzzybear! BRAVO ZULU!
In the good Major’s defense from Psalms 149:
1 Praise the LORD! Sing to the LORD a new song, And His praise in the congregation of the godly ones.
2 Let Israel be glad in his Maker; Let the sons of Zion rejoice in their King.
3 Let them praise His name with dancing; Let them sing praises to Him with timbrel and lyre.
Even a righteous Baptist might be able to get out of trouble with that.
Not when he’s exhibiting such envy when he’s doing it
Envy? Oh dear. Envy isn’t on the list I have.(No smokin’ dippin’ dancin’ or drinkin’) And as to Psalm 19, general opinion among the righteouser Baptists seems to be that dancing caused the divorce of King David and Michal. Hence, it is obvious that the ‘dancing’ in the aforementioned Scripture is clearly metaphorical and not intended to be taken literally.
Hahahahahaha – I should take up preaching… on second thought, I think I’ll pass. While I don’t smoke or dip, life as a garden variety baptist would suck without the dancin’ and the drinkin.’
What a hilarious thread this has been.
Nay…nay…no church lady here…what an embarassing thread this has been…especially for the Padre in training… Best
I’m thinking this C-i-T is a real stand up guy. Any potential Chaplain who will use the phrase “You suck” is destined for great things… with the people who matter. I wish him the best my ownself.
