Top Ten Things that Suck About Oshkosh

Here's another one: long lines for food and water. It seemed like there were
a lot fewer food vendors present this year (not including McDonalds), and
that it was a 30+ minute wait to get anything.



I asked all the Wisconsin ANG folks I could find if they knew you and
they had NO idea who I was talking about. :-(.

Margy

I would hope they knew me by my real name, not Viperdoc. If not, they can
come in and line up for another set of rectal exams.

No wonder they didn't remember your face!

8. Showering one-handed.

Having not been to OSH myself, I'm not sure I want to know why you guys have
to shower one-handed, but I figure it's got something to do with the
beautiful nose-art, the abundance of sexy aircraft or maybe those retro
flight attendants costumes I saw in a C-47 photo.

;P

Which reminds me: I'm surprised Viagra doesn't sponsor an aerobatic team.
An infinite supply of pun fodder there...

You get to stand in a 2ft x 2ft x 7ft stall and use a kitchen sink spray
handle attached to a 3ft hose to rinse your body.

And lest you think these are real stalls, all it is are 3 slimy mouldy
shower curtains.

I think they're a bit larger than 2ft x 2ft... I suspect that the
reason for the kitchen sink spray handle is to conserve water (and as
such reduce costs)... They wouldn't want to use a higher end type
spray handle like we had aboard ship in the Navy since it would cost
more and someone might be tempted to steal it... It's probably a safe
bet that no one is going to steal the low end Wal-Mart kitchen sink
sprays that they were using... Temperature control would be nice also
since sometimes you want a cool shower and sometimes you want a warm
shower...

oh! camped in one fo the more remote areas? like the west scholler
stalls?

the ones by the barn camp store are real stalls, not a rats nest of
curtains like other shower areas

Oshkosh, to the point of waxing poetically sappy.

Just to prove that I'm not all sniffly about leaving OSH, I thought
I'd list my Top Ten List of things that suck about Oshkosh. Feel free
to add yours.


The worse thing about Oshkosh is that its not near enough for me to go
to :-(

My kids were making mental lists of the various languages they heard
on the grounds at OSH, and it was soon clear that there were people
from all over the world at AirVenture. Clearly you have to live very
far away, indeed, to NOT be able to attend OSH.

I personally heard Russian, Portuguese, German, French, and Spanish.
