You should see the AN 225, the version that the Sovs built to schlep around their Space Shuttleski, the Buran. That thing must touch down in one postal zone and finally come to a stop in another.


Maybe it was a 225 I saw, then, and not the 124. It was a while ago, but it stopped all of us in our tracks to watch it take off. Either way, this 225 is pretty incredible too.

I like the Guppy (Super Guppy?), also...saw one at an airshow here a few years back. Amazed me as a kid that it could get up into the air at all.



The wife and I got to climb inside the guppy a couple years ago in El Paso.  It's the weirdest looking flying object out there.

Sorry. First thing I thought of. My mind doesn't work quite right.

Anyway, back on topic.

I like the Ho-229; I loved playing this plane in "Secret Weapons of the Luftwaffe."

I guess they could put a pumpkin on the end of that refueling rod and enter that into the next Pumpkin Chunkin' contest.
All that is gold does not glitter,
Not all those who wander are lost;
The old that is strong does not wither,
Deep roots are not reached by the frost.

My doctor wrote me a prescription for daily sex.

My wife insists that it says dyslexia but what does she know.

Point defence idea in case of nuked runways.
Jarhead - Yeah. You're probably right.

Gus - I use sweatpants with flannel shorts to soak up my crotch sweat.

Banzai Cat - There is no "partial credit" in grammar. Like anal sex. It's either in, or it's not.

Mirth - We learned long ago that they key isn't to outrun Star, it's to outrun Gus.

Martok - I don't know if it's possible to have an "anti-boner"...but I now have one.

Gus - Celery is vile and has no reason to exist. Like underwear on Star.

Kinda a one way trip.

The most amazing thing about that picture is that I think I see an actual helmet in the cockpit.  :o
