Did I misread that?

Tex about a week or so back I flew with him and the topic of age came up. If I recall correctly he said he was 40. I said and you ain't in MOM yet? He said he hadn't been invited. I said well I hereby invite you. Then the game ended, whereupon I reported the invite to the thread, to general assent (or at least no dissent). I guess maybe he doesn't check the forum much.

Nice pics Doghouse. I'm envious.

Well he's got my vote at least, and looks like bopes' too. Any other voting members?

Coop, unless we all have your make/model of phone, I don't think its a hardware issue...I've been disappearing, lagging, losing connection, etc., etc., etc., on my iPad plenty...here's hoping for a debug soon...

she has been diagnosed with type 1 diabetes a bit of a head fck the poor little bugger.
but she is out now and at home doing all her own injections which she has to do 4 times a day and at only 10 years old i think she is a real trooper.
the fight in her is amazing and iam so proud of how she has taken on board all that she has gone through.
sorry to write this on this thread but you guys are my friends and i have found it hard to talk about in a voice.
some how it seem easier to write it down.
thankz guys

All the best to ur little girl.that sucks to have to do that at such a young age. LOL I can barely get a shot from a Doc. She's brave for ten.

M.O.Mified movie scenes...can more be far behind?

Air Marshall Wig: I don't think you understand. I didn't come to rescue Strachan from you. I came here to rescue you from him.
Kptn Singh: Well, we all appreciate your concern Air Marshall, I will try to be extra careful!
Air Marshall Wig: I'm just amazed he allowed any of your squadron to live.
Kptn Singh: Is that right?
Air Marshall Wig: Strictly speaking, he slipped up. You're squad is lucky to still be flying.
Kptn Singh: That's just great. Air Marshall, you came out here to find out why one of your machines blew a gasket!
Air Marshall Wig: You don't seem to want to accept the fact you're dealing with an expert in airial combat, with a man who's the best, with planes, with tanks, with his bare hands. A man who's been trained to ignore pain, ignore weather, to live off the land, to eat things that would make a billy goat puke. In Dog fight his job was to dispose of enemy personnel. To kill! Period! Win by attrition. Well Strachan is the best.

No Falcons were harmed during the filming of this scene...lol sorry guys just fun'in

Keith, I thought I'd shaddup for once and let the rest of the crew speak for themselves. Like that's ever been a struggle for 'em. Needless to say, I echo the sentiments of our fellow M.O.Ms; It's heartbreaking that Siani has to go through this but you don't need me to tell you that, if she had to have something serious, she could've had something considerably more serious and potentially untreatable. Diabetes is nothing to take lightly but it's also imminently controllable and nothing that means Siani will have a life much different from that of any "normal" ten year old. As for you having to "man up", all you really need to do is "dad up" and it's clear you're doing that. Some good old-fashioned sobbing is part of that program. (You aren't alone, KT, these knuckleheads have made me sob more than a few times) All my love to you, Siani and the rest of the Theo fambly. Naturally we want you to keep us updated. Got a pic of her you can post? Please tell her your M.O.M mates are thinking of her...and of you.

Tex, Bopes, et al; regarding Jose One Konobi, he's been around long enough, is old enough and is certainly good enough to have been invited a long time ago. Just one of those oversights. Tex, you might be thinking of Xuan K Zamora, he was recently admitted to the asylum. Jose just keeps getting talked about but, apparently, never invited! I haven't seen him in the game in ages. "In" as far as I'm concerned.

As for the chronic lost connection issue, and without letting us backslide into another run-on bitchfest, it strikes me that whenever I get dropped from a mission one of two things happens; I enter another mission and half the people I was just playing are also there, or...I get back into the original mission and the cast of characters is dramatically different. So, sure, a wifi signal as weak as mine (or, possibly, Coop's) could be at fault...it certainly must have something to do with middling skill level players skewering me like a fish in a barrel with a single shot from two miles out before I can even see 'em on screen...but if half or more of a mission's players drop at the same time that does not sound like an individual's router problem to me. It sounds pretty definitely like something originating on the server side. Device make/model, wifi/4G/etc strength, nothing like that would cause four players to drop at once as happens more often than not.

Someone asked recently about the M.O.M Anthem contest; I'm maintaining a master list of submissions, figure we'll let the whole thing continue through the holidays since dozens of M.O.Ms have yet to be heard from, then I'll post a list, we'll boil it down to finalists and have us a happy little vote. I feel that I should exempt myself from actually entering...conflict of interest and all like that there...but I'll toss a few tracks into the mix now and then. Like this one;



Keep the official entries coming...

KTHEO.. we saw each other in flight, so now you know where my heart lies.

Now the big problem is, you are going to have a 10 year old girl telling you what you can eat for the rest of your life!

No more cookies and candy for daddy...
MOM cake is okayed by the doctors. It has enough bad stuff to counteract the bad stuff.

Again, my prayers are with you.

Some more snow pics

Stop posting snow pics!!
Your making me jealous. lol

Hey doggs, where are those pictures taken? Looks amazing!

Sput - long time overdue in my congratulations on breaking into the Top 100. Well done!

I'm confused here...
Just got out of a game with Bob, Ktheo's friend. He say's he was asked to leave the squad. I chatted with him for quite some time and I'm confused.
He sound's like a decent guy and being a friend of Ktheo's should be an automatic in. I know a voucher from Strachan, Wig, Coop, Schiebe, Tex and other's would be all the blessing we at mom would need.
I made sure before I left the game that he would want in (he does).
I know I can get retarded on here, but this forum allow's me alittle freedom from the ordinary. If this is one of those time's I'm being retarded so be it...
From what I remember He was in. Bob say's he was asked to leave. That make's no sense to me.....If he's in we need to have Ktheo tell him to put his banner up. I hope this is just a misunderstanding and that this is just one of my retarded moments.....
Is Bob in? If so let's have Ktheo Let him know....


Bob was worried about causing trouble so this is all on me....

Coop you been taking lessons in screen writing, getting better and better



I think you should have this, sorry couldn't find an app to edit out my name.

I remember Bob as being voted in, don't think anyone here would've told him to leave.

sry Muck, didn't mean to leave your name out the voucher list
Bob gave me a name, I won't repeat it as I hope he wouldn't. No need for that...Like I said it could be some kind of misunderstanding that should be able to be straightened out..

Dent, here's the deal on Bob: Keith invited him to follow the usual protocol and drop by, introduce himself, get voted on, etc. Since M.O.M and protocol are often mutually exclusive it's no wonder the non-process process got garbled in translation. Bob went straight to the Squad tag gizmo and grabbed the M.O.M tag. Word hadn't circulated here so we began hearing about a MOMpostor called Bob. Before it was made clear that Bob was KT's friend, had been invited to drop by and merely misunderstood he'd already been marked as a tag-snagger. Yes, he's a very nice guy, always a pleasure to play with. Any friend of KT's is IN with me. The last reference I made to him was in a rundown of recruits weeks ago wherein I said, "Bob...grandfathered in by virtue of being the longest running MOM impostor on record?" or something along those lines. Nobody replied so Bob remained officially in limbo.

Let's bring poor Bob in outta the cold, get him tagged and bannered up, welcome him aboard and call it CAKE already.

Wow Bob, Wow.

I thought I saw him flying tagless the other day. I was puzzled too.

Anyway I vote in . . . again.

Hang in there Bob we'll get it right eventually ...

Just noticed the wigapocalyps is scheduled for a Friday night.....the busiest night of the week! That's a pain in the proverbial, I vote we postpone it to the 23rd a Sunday night when it's quiet.

What time is it....?

That's right boys and girls, it is time for your monthly forum inspection. I am happy to see that the quality of the posts have risen. (even if only slightly) I still look forward to all of you posting quality lines on this MOM forum, and I know you all can do it. I believe in you!

First off, congrats to Sput making the top 100. Now go bake me a cake, and have your minons clean my planes. ( I Ralphed and O'rouked all over the side after having whitenow repeatedly shred my plane.)

Second off, welcome all new MOMs, whoever you are. ( though, it doesn't seem like anyone knows who you are for sure) ( deducted 25 pts from forum inspection right there)

Third, as for MOM imposters... I shall shoot down ALL people flying MOM banner and demand they remove it from their name, WITHOUT EXCEPTION.


Fifth order of business, for all new applications to join MOM from now on, I vote "no". No real reason other than I'm a mean old man. ( deducted 10 points for the previous line not being funny, at all.)

Total inspection score:
8 out of 200 possible points
(that is double last months score, keep up the good work)
Next months goal is 80. We can do it !

Side note, on Wednesday December 5th please leave your hangers unlocked or leave your key at the main desk. We will be repainting the hangers with new low VOC paint in fung shway colors and hanging inspirational and motivational posters to encourage team building.
That is all

You want the secret to blitzing Bopes, Michael? Type-sing the lyrics to "Close To You" every time he enters a mission. It blinds him. 102% stone blind. All he can see is the mental image of a vat of canned peaches, a bowling pin and Karen Carpenter in a nun's habit,. Do yourself a favor; don't ask.

Motivational like this???



I want this one hung up

Ha! Too funny Wig and Legend. Those were some wacky games. In that one where you put the whammy on me with the song, Wig I witnessed you apparently bending the fabric of space and time. Your plane suddenly relocated from one point to another in a most peculiar way.

Hmmm ... You're not still flying with the experimental Giant Old Man Laser-Emitting Glasses of Mom (GOMLEGOMOM) are you? Those things are dangerous! We still haven't worked out the side effects! And I thought I locked the black ops drawer after the last unfortunate ... er, incident.

And Legend I was relieved to get dropped by a lo batt from that other game. You and Hansone were KILLING me!

I don't recall if your bomb hit registered or not. Anyway, after you dropped out Wig hung in for a bit then he dropped out. Then it got interminably weird when one of those players showed up saying things like "any men here?" and "I'm a drunk female anyone wanna have sex?" etc. I dropped out soon after.

Bob did drop the MOM tag after being told to. Almost sound's like some MOM's were pretty harsh on him from what I saw and heard (none of this was from bob,he was very apologetic about the whole thing)..
The main thing is it's too easy to put any squad tag up for anyone. Some how this need's to be changed, hopefully in time.

Thank's for all your reply's..

I vote Jose Juan in. I had in invited him to are thread quite some time ago. Nice guy. Same goes for bob. Just saw bob moments ago. He was wondering how to get in. Told him to come here, because he was the hot topic .

All opinion's count here . We also require more than a grain of salt to dump into the open wounds so we can hear the screaming from server to server until connection lost, then the screaming stops.....

Thanks for the reply Legend

SphaeroX is a REALLY good 4 level. He 23 from Germany. I highly recomend him.

Sput - long time overdue in my congratulations on breaking into the Top 100. Well done!

These were taken on the way to and the top of red cone (a red cinder cone volcano on the mammoth crest) in the eastern sierra nevada just out side of mammoth lakes(my home). Snow was a little punchy but can't complain for early season snow. We dug an avy pit and the snow was about 7 1/2 ft deep. A good start.
