Yeah, keep going. You might regurgitate something epic. These are good, not quite epic though.

Puns don't kill people...puns do.

OK, I put together a few ideas in a couple of minutes in Photoshop. So they're not perfect, but I can fix 'em this weekend if I need to. The original idea, Show Time, then The Expundables, and finally (and actually my favorite of the three), Miss Punctuality.

And co-pilot for me!

I can flap the wings with my mind and push the plane along if the cockpit gets all shot up!  :D

Please tell me you got that from a very old sci fi short story- I read it many many years ago and can't remember the name of it.

Alright then. I'll make it "Miss Punctuality."

Wanted to make the "Pun" part all caps, but it doesn't look good in that font...and I think the font looks pretty awesome as is. I could overthink this for hours and end up having the plane crash on takeoff on Mission 1. So unless there's any strong objections...Miss Punctuality it is!

undercovergeek, I'mma give you that last slot. Bob nominated you and I might get started with this tomorrow if I have time. Otherwise Sunday will be the first play through I think.

I volunteer for Central Fire Controller. 

Or Bombardier if CFC is already taken.   But you don't want that kind of curse on your bomb accuracy, do you?  :P  It would be a shame travelling so far just to blow up an empty rice paddy or baby milk factory.  Well, the latter might be somewhat worthwhile in the long run.  ;)

Someone's gotta do it, so I'll put you in the Bombadier's position. You're an officer now, congratulations. And oh yeah, we might all die on takeoff on the first mission anyway when those big ass bombs blow up after we crash land, and who's fault will that be? This guy, not you.

Though they WOULD be 'your' bombs, technically...

In any case, welcome aboard.  :crazy2:



What about when the Flight Engineer can't put out an engine fire?  Should we blame the Pilot or the Flight Engineer?

I suspect this is how we will all die.

We should probably just blame the Japs. It's better for crew morale.
