Man oh man my wife is going to be all over me about where I'm going to put this one!

[Hatteras]

YEEEEEEHAW, GREAT BALLS OF FIRE!

[The_Victor]

If we could just get a few more public officials to call us a hate group, we could send JimRob around the country in style.

[TheBigB]

I'll chip in a hundred bucks. But I get it first. :)

The seller has 2 negative feedbacks. Because of that, I'll have to get an F-18 somewhere else :-)

[OXENinFLA]

Oh come on!

*some assembly required*

What a jip.

[T'wit]

Is it too soon to start compiling targets? I'd like to put in a word for Teddy Kennedy. Of course we'd need to develop a flab-seeking missile, but I believe our scientists are up to it.

[TheErnFormerlyKnownAsBig]

That's a little harsh don't you think? LOL

[T'wit]

> *some assembly required*

Hmm. "Batteries not included"?

[Servant of the 9]

The RNC should buy it for Ws use during the campaign.

He would obviously be safer in an armed fighter than in AF 1 while traveling and campaigning.
And atract a lot more attention.

Call it the Atkins missile.

[TheBigB]

But we'd need a flab-differentiation device. Otherwise, the missile would go off in haphazard directions unless Teddy just happened to be in the same rom with Michael Moore.

Oh boy, I could see myself getting into some serious trouble.

[The_Victor]

For the money, I'll take the F18.

Let's see, a high-time aircraft that has served with the Blue Angels. Stress fractures anyone?

IIRC, the US govt. doesn't allow modern combat aircraft from the US inventory to end up in private hands. The only us-built combat jets that are available are those that have been sold to foreign governments.

If it did come from the US Navy, it is unlikely to be airworthy.
