HI Bob

do you still have the original that you can post for us

In general the good luck follows the daring, those who are more risk
averse
tend not to get the same lucky breaks.

I had to Google it myself. I crank out way too much BS to keep it all!

BTW, my 'complaint" post today is not particularly serious either.

The "Round Engines" rant has been around since June of 2002.

It has been somewhat modified over this period.

The excellent line about kissing the FE's girl was added.

In a clearly unfortunate edit/typo, "ladylike poot" became "ladylike poof",
which is not at all the same thing.

Also, several lines in the original that made it even more obvious that this
was a nonserious post were deleted.

And of course, in the piratical world of newsgroups, the name of the
original author was quickly deleted as the post was forwarded all over the
net.

Now THAT ****es me off a bit!

I agree entirely. This was one of those posts that people call
'gems' and should not (on pain of death (or equivalent)) be
modified...I especially agree that it was quite unfortunate that
that classy line about the 'Ladylike poot' was desecrated.

I laughed (on and off) about that one for days...I'd start
shaking with mirth in bed at night and my wife'd say "the
'ladylike poot' again?'...hilarious...

You 'should' feel cheated when the author line is deleted from a
gem of that stature...

Typical of a non-pilot though don't you think?

Yea - that would be appreciated. I'm planning a vacation from work
around that time but haven't settled on details. Maybe some surf
fishing in Florida might fit in well with the P'cola event. I don't
golf - but I could certainly drink beer.
Regards,

Bill -
Is there a web site devoted to this get together (or will there be)?
I'm still in touch with several people from my S-2 era.
