Default Top Ten Things that Suck About Oshkosh

"I'm not really into that NASCAR stuff."


The NASCAR crowd (which is our code for the airshow attendees who
leave a pile of empty beer cans and the ground covered with butts when
they leave) is largely absent from OSH, at least until the weekend.


I call them the lawn chair crowd. They almost always show up toting
lawn chairs. Of late they haven't been too bad (since they did away
with the #*&@!$%$ Jet truck was dropped and most of the Mastubators of
Destruction have died). Most nicely stayed behind the lines although
a few clueless still couldn't figure out why nobody was sitting in
the large cleared off firelane and set up their chairs there.

I still have no freaking clue why people insist on touching propellers.
Of all things on the airplane to touch this has to be the worst yet
the unwashed masses feel compelled to stroke them as they go by.
