TheBigB has given me the go-ahead to put up this weeks OFST. Thanks, B! Hurry back!
Last week we had some rough spots, so R-Q-TEK86 had the following ground-rules suggestion for this weeks thread:
By entering this silly thread, I promise to
Honor the spirit of silliness. Eat Spam, eggs, Spam, Spam and Spam. Not ask to see any of Jersey Republican Biker Chicks body parts. Stand on my desk, flap my arms and make sounds like a chicken. Spew milk through my nose at something ArGee posts. Make at least one blonde joke. Post a joke that makes people groan. Ponder the question Is Civil Engineer an oxymoron? Try to solve the mystery of who ctlpdad really is. Make a reference to AYBABTU. Disavow everything that Howard Dean stands for. Post a Pearls Before Swine cartoon (Dog Gone only). Make the guy in the next cubicle wonder whats so funny. Post a picture of my favorite refreshing beverage. Quack like the Aflac duck. Not post gratuitous cheesecake or beefcake pictures. Tell JimWforBush a joke about engineers. Make a pun. Use series instead of serious and hugh instead of huge. Ask r-q-tek86 if all architects are gay. Stand facing the back of the elevator on the way back from lunch. Post a picture that made me snort the first time I saw it. Do a silly walk. Make an obscure reference to Young Frankenstein. Ignore this thread.
Yeah, but did ever actually see thag in uniform? It looks a whole lot better on this side!
They will now. If they want some juicy reading, at least I put the worst stuff there and not on a forum where I am breaking Jim Rob's rules.
Can I see Jersey Republican Biker Chicks body parts? Oh, dang. I'm out.
I'd rather be driving a Titleist
On a sad note, the man who designed my beloved airplane passed away today. He was a legend in aerobatic airplane development and a genius.
He was 87.
In memory of Curtis Pitts...
FLYING WEST
I hope there's a place way up in the sky,
where pilots can go the day that they die
A place where a guy can buy a cold beer,
for a friend or a comrade, whose memory is dear
A place no doctor or lawyer can tread,
nor the FAA type would e'er be caught dead
Just a quaint little place, dark, full of smoke,
where patrons sing loud, and love a good joke
The kind of place a lady could go,
and feel safe and protected by the men she would know
There must be this place where old pilots go,
when their flying is finished, and their airspeed gets low
Where the whiskey is old, and the women are young,
where songs about flying and dying are sung
Where you see all the fellows who'd flown here before,
who call out your name, as you came through the door
Who would buy you a drink, if your thirst should be bad,
and relate to others, "He was a good lad"
And then through the mist, you'd spot this old guy,
you hadn't seen in years, though he taught you to fly
He'd nod his old head, and grin ear to ear,
And say, "Welcome, home son, I'm pleased that you're here"
For this is the place where true flyers come,
when their journey is over, and their war has been won
Here they feel safe and just like at home,
away from the pundit, the bureaucrat, the management clone,
Where all hours are happy, enjoying a cold one, maybe deal from a deck,
this is heaven my son, You've passed your last check !
Well add me to your list! :o)
~~sigh~~
Maybe I do need to get a couple of scars and tattoos.

"Yeah," the man replies. "First I had an accident on the way to work that made me 2 hours late for a meeting with an important client. Then my boss fired me for being late. So I went home and found my wife in bed with my best friend. I told her I was leaving her, packed my bags, and came here."
"That is pretty bad," says the bartender. "What did you say to your best friend?"
"Bad boy!"
Shalom.
LOL!
Shalom.
I live up here in Union County Ohio and aound here most folks would call those ..... Targets! Lead em!!! Lead em!!!
You notice who is posting the beefcake, right?
