POOR ME I CANT PLAY, AND IM WITHOUT T.V. MY CABLE IS HAVING PROBLEMS, I CAN ONLY GET CHANNEL 2.

When I try to play dogfight i shoot and shoot and miss everyone except for the occasional lucky shot but i get shot down real easy,

They said it could take days to repair my cable. ON TOP OF THAT I HAVE THE FLU.

IM SO CONFUSED, WHAT WILL I DO, WILL I HAVE TO TALK TO THE WIFE? This must be a government conspiracy.

I think i need help. I NEED MY CABLE BACK.

Also wig, I have been thinking(scary i know). And I think that there should be a prodigy representative in the star chamber. Someone will need to nominate a prodigy and another will have to second it. There needs to be a voting window for the nominated and a running tally. A prodigy cant nominate himself another MOM must do it. 2 votes to get in and on a certain date(probably a week long thing) all moms who can vote should. The prodigy can represent all the others and help out in the star chamber. Since all the prodiges are kids though, they might not be able to do certain things(especially since school started).




Well this is my idea. If it sounds like a good one we should do it. Thanks for listening to me.

Just got the bad news about "flying" the bike. NO GO! DARN!

It seems that since I'd be wearing a life-jacket and the bike won't, if something goes wrong and I (we) go down, I go another 300 ft....underwater.

Insurance company won't cover or take a waiver. I can't ask my friend to lose his business for an old man's dream.

FOR SALE: 1 pair new angel wings. Adult size. Never used. Make offer, then die.

Paul is it like a parasail? Or are we talking a fixed wing ? Do you have a picture or a drawing of this concept you could share? Been thinking of getting a hang glider and teaching myself how to fly in one of my back 40s that has a good rolling hill .... Yea old crazy man here to :-)

Good luck with your adventure.

Learn correctly. I learned to hang-glide at Nags Head, NC.

ATE A LOT OF SAND!

WANNA BUY SOME ANGEL WINGS CHEAP?

Yup. Good question. Apple is always at least a week behind with updates. Will we have to go live with our stepMOM? No one likes her. :)

Can I have my Mötley Crüe dots Wig? BlüE MäX Or do I need to go back to the plain old Blue Max?

Is any one working on a MOM play book? Or may be there is one. Standard call signs and a flight plans. Would be nice to work out and get in an email or PM.

One guy drops, 3 up the middle

1 up the middle low, 1 high, 1 far right, 1 far left

2 High, 2 low

Free for all, just go with it and do your thing.

Etc................

Bad idea? What do you think? Plus I would absolutely love to see what Wig would name the formations.

I'm sure that's not true, we old men like to think on things a LONG time before opening our mouth. I am not in the stare chamber , and I have mixed feeling about your proposal, you are ambitious I'll give you that :-) so good luck to you bud

It could be me or any prodigy. Just to get are side in on matters. If it doesn't go it doesn't go. But it's worth a try. I think it would be fun.

DAVY SAYS

Still cannot play dogfight, as you all know dogfight is great THERAPY for me. The game allowed me to kill legally without getting into trouble. My parole officer is real concerned about me right now. The D.A. says I need to contact my PHYCH and SOCIAL WORKER immediately for constant evaluation and monitoring plus an increase in MEDS.

Im not sure why Comcast is having so much trouble with my system however I've noticed an increase in BLACK SUVs and HELICOPTERS around the neighborhood. I THOUGHT I EVEN SAW A DRONE FLYING OVERHEAD.

Im not sure but i think my cellphone is bugged also. I just don't have enough aluminum foil anymore. I have my entire house wrapped but the government mind waves are still getting though. Im crying again.

I was playing a game with NOUSHBAG and someone named OOO, they were the only two and was kicking everyone's butt. My internet booted me but I took a pic early in the game, when i left i think they had like 200 kills, GUYS YOU WERE PLAYING A TERRIFIC GAME. OOO was only a air comadore (yeah right ) lol lol. Anyhow they were kicking butt and taking names.

As for me i tried but my internet service is so poor that it is unfair to my team for me to play until im healthy again. Will be next week i guess. GOOD GAME GUYS.

I'm out of practice! Been elsewhere for a wee while. All good.

Paul. Good try with the winged wheels, sorry the bike cant have arm bands or something. Think about speaking wi a local paragliding school...? They are less fancy, not needing the boat or the water to get airtime. I've seen images of paraglider pilots on bikes, who knows, chase that dream old bean!

Kman. Look up on amazon a book called 'Touching Cloud Base'. If your serious about using your local hills, here are some tips...

Hang gliders need minimum wind speeds (ground speed) of about 19 m.p.h. They are heavy and cumbersome to heave back up the hill each time you land at the bottom (while your learning anyhow). They take a while to rig and de rig. Are harder to master. They have a greater glide angle.

Paragliders can glide top to bottom in zero wind, giving you good conditions to learn the basics without dramas. They pack down into a ruck sack for carrying and are easier to learn on. Rigging is easy to understand and takes little time. They have a shorter glide angle.

Both scare the crap out of any live stock below.
The wind direction has to be bang onto the hill face. What is your prevailing direction usually?
You need patients. Often the wind will change direction or speed and flying becomes quickly restricted.
Your hills need to be free from obstructions like trees, buildings or valley features to avoid down drafts (rotor) and turbulence.

I learned to fly one from the book I mentioned, in the 1990's. it's proper fun and if I had my own hills, the air space would be all mine!
Good luck either way, the sensation of being lifted off the ground for the first time is magic.

Davy - get a push bike if it gets too cramped indoors! Hope the new lead arrives pronto.

Mommas I hope to catch you all in game soon. I'm not playing as much at the mo but try to at every turn.

I won't be competing this time round whip, any air time I get will be practice time.... Put me down as an official photographer if that helps, any participant can expect assistance from me. Good luck.

Would it be sacrilege to ask; how the hell do two guys score 349 kills and NOT bomb 8 hangars? WTF are you doing to fail that catastrophically at the mission objective if you knock down the other guys THREE HUNDRED AND FORTY NINE FREAKIN' TIMES and STILL can't get four (or even eight if you can only hit one hangar per run!) lousy little bombs down until you've finally muscled your way through that 350th kill?!?!? Seriously...WTF?!??!?!?!?!?

Maxie, I'll do my best to get your umlauts into your new game name. The Mod controls allow us to search such characters so the in-game database should recognize them, too. Merely a question of whether my keypad allows me to enter them. I'll let you know if it proves to be a problem.

Striker, if we were looking to change the Star Chamber roster we'd certainly consider your suggestion, thanks. We've had a Star Chamber Prodigy since before it was called the Star Chamber. Sput, we all agree, is the logical Prod for the job. But it was never about feeling the need to see the Prods represented in the SC since you young'uns are full fledged members of M.O.M and therefore no different from any others of us. Sput isn't active with it now simply because he got busy with that so-called "real" life we keep hearing tell of "out there", wherever that is.

We only just recently revamped the SC membership, the concept always having been to keep as close to the original dozen or so members as we can. Some have left, some are too busy, some never use the forum, so we've augmented the first generation lineup with core members like Muck, Martin and Bellsaj. it'll be a while before we make more changes. And we don't do the voting thing; start down that slippery slope and before you know it we'll be the 111.5th FalcoMOMs. Or the 122nd MOMfits. ewww.

Lol Wig :woohoo: We tried and tried..at one point Max asked me to hold the front, as he took the side route, but meanie Davy and his meanie gang of 5 walked all over me like an asphalt roller over an ant. Reduced our hangers to just one, all the while giving me the birdie and shouting "your mama doesn't love you" those no gooders! I could swear I heard dualing banjos at some point :woohoo: After that, all we could do was defend till we had more help...2 hours later :blink:
