difference between piloting topics and hangar flying is.


Piloting topics have a basis of truth


Ohhhhh!!!! Now I get it! If a posting starts out, "There I was...",
it's hangar flying. If a posting begins with anything else, it's the
truth.
Thanks Tony!

That's true for us damyankees. If you are from Dixie, the hangar flying starts
of with "Now this ain't no ****...".

Jim, you don't qualify. You're out west. Damyankees are people from up north who
come south and *stay*.

We southern folk think of yankees like hemorrhoids:

Ones that come down and go back up aren't all the painful,

But the ones that come down and stay down are a real pain in the ass ;-)


Oops...was that off topic? Sry Larry, go have a beer at Jay's
place.....oops was that advertising a felony?? Help! I can't stop!

This MUST be a Dighera thread. To this day, he stands (sits?) as the ONLY
person in my "killfile"... As a result, I am blissfully spared his
sanctimonious pontificating, and can only see the "collateral damage" caused
by his posts. This thread looks like a doozy.

By the way -- did I mention that our "2nd Annual Oshkosh Pool Party" will be
held on Sunday, July 25th -- the Sunday before OSH '04? Everyone here is
of course invited to partake in the FREE BEER we will once again be serving
at poolside...

By the way (required aviation content to follow): July 25 is the 20th
anniversary of Svetlana Savitskaya's walk in space -- the first spacewalk,
ever, for a woman. Thus, I expect that Jim Weir will be serving up free
shots of vodka in her honor.

Hey Jay...

If you would have read the charter, you would see that you are still off
topic.
It isn't aviation but general aviation that you need to discuss.

So... when is the last time that you started your plane? (there is general
aviation)

Now are you happy Larry?

We went for a beautiful flight into Amana, IA just three hours ago. It's
not every New Year's Eve that the grass strips in Iowa are still open!

It was a bit rutted, but not bad at all.

because you have no technical clue. sorry, but it is the truth.

I'd appreciate your promotions beeing posted in r.a.misc. Even better would
be NOT posting such promotion. I'd suggest putting up a website and promote
it through your signature. maximum 4 lines and corectly seperated by "-- ".

Thank you.

I believe the Charter clearly states that this is an English-language
newsgroup, Martin.

You've got three misspellings in just three sentences -- a NEW Usenet record
for illiteracy, and a CLEAR violation of the charter.

I suggest buying a new spell-checker (they're cheap!), or, better yet, stop
posting here until your English improves beyond the sixth-grade level.

I usually appreciate any post by either Martin or Jay. But there is no
reason to attack Jay for (rather mildly) plugging his hotel here. If that
was all Jay did on this newsgroup, I would be at the front of the mob
(probably carrying a pitchfork if all the scythes had been taken) demanding
that he cease and desist. But my own opinion is that Jay doesn't plug the
inn any more than the many of the rest of us talk about our own jobs. I
certainly don't mind!

Jay is a true member of this community, who happens to own a hotel that many
of us (including myself) would like to visit one day. In part to see the
rooms, but mostly to meet a good friend in person.
