Hope you all are off to a great Monday. I must again come before you with a confession and seek guidance and direction.

I have tried to ignore this issue for too long. It now affects not only myself but also my family. It has gotten so bad no matter which server I go to I am still being called out and publicly shamed.

I am a lagger.

At first I thought it was cool and I could control myself but now Ill be flying around and someone will yell out "Lagg" or "Lagger" or what hurts the most "laaaagggg" I have never meant for it to get to the point where it is and I am sorry.

Today I was just flying by a guy and he said "you have lag." Foolishly I thought maybe he was looking for some and I said no I don't but asked if he had any. He replied, "what are you talking about?" I told him I do not have any and thought maybe he did or knew of someone that did. He told me I was "weird" and I must be "high" (whatever that means). And he stopped talking to me.

So I figured I would come to the only place where I thought I might be understood and seek help.

Im not a lagger by choice, it just happens. Hope youll understand.

Nate, try citing the Bill of Rights, that always seems to confound actual thought. In the little known first draft of the 2nd Amendment you'll find your incontrovertible un-re-interpret-able argument:

A well regulated well Lagging Lagger, being necessary to the security of a free Squadron, the right of the M.O.Ms to keep and bear Laaaagggg, shall not be infringed.

If that doesn't sway the complainer tell 'im he can move to France; this is, after all, the Land of the Weird and the Home of the High.

As always I'm happy to help.

Well I spent a little bit of time making friends today......
This little "Buttery Love Crumpet", wanted to skip all the bases after I shot him down (just once)....
Sooooooooo
I thought "nothing like a camping trip to get the mood right"!!!!!!




(Man where is "BlüE MäX" when you need him to sing that "My milkshake brings all the boys in the yard....." Song)

Hiya all!! I'm charging my phone right now, but I'll be flying a little later tonight if y'all would like to make a date of it Hope to see some of y'all!! Muah

GOOD GAME BELL.

Hello my recruitment officer

And hya M.O.M.sens. how are you? I hope all is good in the M.O.M S.T.A.C.A.V.E ... I see still no graves here so I think you guys are much younger than you guys want to let us know. Awww don't worry you know I would never start talking about your age. Yes has been a while but I'm also still the same crazy cow. Maybe a lil bit older but definitely not wiser. I swear.
Awww sorry I know the rule... no jokes about age.

Wig I've a question maybe you can help me.
Do you know when exactly is the 2nd memorial day for Kevin?
I was searching here in your thread but unfortunately it shows no date.

I know it was a Wednesday in August 2012. but not if it was the 8, 15, 22 or 29. I remember that he had to go to surgery friday but the doc wasn't there so we played the whole night. For Kevin it was friday night but here it was a beautiful saturday morning. I just started to get my first skills and I was proud about. It was so much fun to play with him and I couldn't wait to tell him how much I've enjoyed this battle. Not one word he told us about his pains, the coming operation. Nothing that could give me the feeling I was not great on this saturday or that could ruin my picture of this wonderful day.
The following days was the game as good as not playable because of server lags. I tried to join a lot of games but it was a disaster. Some days later I was playing again when Sputnik and bigpoppasmurf aka Michael joined the game. I had no idea that he was Kevin's brother. My English skills were terrible at this time so I just understood that they wanted to fly for Legend of Kane as high as possible. And then we'll trop our bombs short before we touch the sky. We reloaded our planes and when we started again I just knew we will do it for Kevin but I had no idea why..... cuz of this fckng language barrier...

Hey guys if someone knows the date then please let me know, okay? I just wanted do a little something in memory of the two. Maybe something like a small medal to put into the signature. I also can give you the psd file if someone wants put it in his banner. If I know what i want to do exactly I'll talk to you before i start with it.

Sorry guys for this short visit. I've no idea what I do wrong. More and more buys no matter what I do.
And run away will not help. I've tried out already.

Oh dam I miss you guys.
cya Helen

LMAO!! HAHAHA!!
MAD.... THAT WAS ONE HELL OF A PIC...
( PLS HOLD UR TOUNGE AND SAY IT )... SHIP
COMING ONTO THE M.O.M THREAD COULD BE HAZARDOUS.... I COULD OF CHOKED IF I HAD FOOD IN MY MOUTH...

Oh man that was one funny group of players we had in that round!!!!! Odd's stacked against us for almost the whole battle!! Then the funny little "bar room pickup line's" were HILARIOUS!!!!




"I just love the way your muzzle flashes off your propeller"
Now the guy(remaining nameless), has quite a bit we can learn from.... One hell of a wordsmith!!!!

Helen you goddess of the skies, its been too long, dont worry im still yours - please check your inbox, ive sent you a little something.

So this morning I was out working on a new liner for our pond. Just minding my own business and out of nowhere.........

I was under attack by a fire breathing dragon!!!! I knew I needed to act fast and capture him. He was sure to have taken over the world. So with out pause and no regard of my own safety. I fought with all my might and capture him, saving all the village people from a firey doom!










Ok...... Maybe I made up a little bit of that......

Really this little guy ran from me and feel in the pond. The hungry gold fish were about to make a meal out of him. As I swooped in at the last second and performed a swift water rescue. He was quite thankful and hung around for photos!

Helen! What an unexpected pleasure to hear from you, it's been much too long.

I don't have a clear sense of the exact date of Kevin's death. He informed us of his condition in Post #35368, but the forum's time/date stamping is extremely inaccurate. From the first post on the M.O.M thread through Kevin's post and beyond, everything says, "1 Year and 11 months".

I dread having to tell you this, but I suspect you might not be aware; Kevin's brother Michael also passed away very recently. As you know, he'd been playing on Kevin's LegendofKane account starting not long after Kevin died and had become a loyal M.O.M and a mainstay of the Dogfight community. We held memorial flights for Michael but the community has grown significantly and become more disunified than it was two years ago, comparatively few people actively participated.

I did find these posts from Kevin making reference to you...

...talked to MissHell,we have a reparte'...seems sweet...when i asked her to join she said she wanted to fly alone for awhile,so maybe she will get too lonely and look for a home...

...if anyone sees misshell tell her i said hi,im shy like that. As im laid back with the nurses...

In post #36690 Michael used Kevin's account to inform us that Kevin had passed away. "1 Year and 10 Months ago", that would place Kevin's death sometime in September of 2012.

Helen, send me a PM when you have a moment, I'd love to coordinate some tribute flying time with you. Your presence here has been sorely missed.

Howdy all, thought I'd dust off my Forum, and see how things are hanging with you all. Probably a whole lotta new MOMs.

Mistah Rick, I still can't get to where I want to be. You have my original email address?

Elvis' favorite; a Peanut Butter and Banner sandwich. Hold the Peanut Butter.

I can't decide who that last one is best suited for. Eh, probably nobody...

(Guys, let us know if you need assistance installing your new objet d'art, a helpful M.O.M associate will be happy to answer your questions.)

--w--

p.s. Still one banner left to crank out, I'm awaiting workable info from ]B[enny whom I think might've gotten lost in the shuffle of our last couple new M.O.M announcements...welcome Benny! Guten tag, Herr M.O.M!

Don't forget, if you have the v.1 squad and would like one of the new designs drop me a noteski-woteski or post your preference. With so many M.O.Ms crushing toward Level 31 and full custom bannerization I'm only retrofitting the stock banners of those who ask.

Revvin' up your engine
Listen to her howlin' roar
Metal under tension
Beggin' you to touch and go

Highway to the Danger Zone
Ride into the Danger Zone

Headin' into twilight
Spreadin' out her wings tonight
She got you jumpin' off the track
And shovin' into overdrive

Highway to the Danger Zone
Ill take you
Right into the Danger Zone

You'll never say hello to you
Until you get it on the red line overload
You'll never know what you can do
Until you get it up as high as you can go

Out along the edges
Always where I burn to be
The further on the edge
The hotter the intensity

Highway to the Danger Zone
Gonna take you
Right into the Danger Zone

Highway to the Danger Zone

Today's forecast? 100% chance of awesome banners. Brilliant work, as expected.

For those in the skies, the latest weather reports show scattered lag over the eastern US.

Looks like your little buddy really has come from a battle recently as I see he is in the process of regrowing his tail. They used to be around here also but I havent seen any for a few years.

Yah they really have that bright blue looking tale right now. I will try and grab a good photo of one. I catch them at work all the time and just let them chill out on my shoulder.... Cracks me up as the guys walk up and see them!!!!! (Dead American CockRoaches "Palmeto Bugs" have the best impact next to snakes.... Well spiders are a good one to....) Lol
Man the crap I do for kicks!!!!!

Swing down anytime and I will have a bunch ready for you!!!!

I still remember my first encounter with one of those.
I was on my bicycle and about 4 years of age when a "forrest lizard" ran over the road just infront of me.
Mami mami a crocodile ran over the road I yelled.
She didn't believe me... daaa we live in nothern Sweden, off corse there aren't any crocodiles here.
Anyway, this is what they look like.

Mr. Maher, there was a typo in your banner! ACK! First time ever...it's all downhill from here, kids.

Bill, please scroll back to the original post and recapture your banner code, the gaff is now degaffeinated.

Thanks Von Len, M.O.M's resident proofreader. Dunno what I'd do without you, brudda.

I must be slipping...usually I'm the first to notice a typo. Perhaps I just subconsciously wanted to "party". At any rate, thanks for the update.

Double post sorry

Met a lovely chap in two ffa missions name of jamiedrummer, if you see him ... Give the little shit some loving from me. He can't fly so you'll find him hiding around the bases in his tank. I don't dislike that many people, but this piece of crap I totally fcukin hate with a vengeance, I've had words with him before. So please give him some special love. Then rip his effing head off and bring it to me on a plate.
