Thanks.  Suddenly the MRF gang in "arrested development" makes a little more sense and might be a little more humourous.  I will have to go back and review it now that I know that the "Mexican Romney Family" is a real thing.  :)




This quote still creeps me out:

Quote"It is a very open community, where we have been progressive, and we have shaped a life for ourselves, our children, that we think is a healthy life," Leighton Romney told the AP.

Huh...the "bain" of our existence, eh Mittens?

Focke-Wulf constructed this heavy fighter as a replacement for their Fw 198 Hellhound, and were rather gratified when the German government bought up the entire first production run of 250 units. However, not a single Doppleganger has appeared on a Luftwaffe base, and Focke-Wulf found the government unwilling to purchase any more. Faced with the unenviable prospect of a large stock with no buyer, Focke-Wulf put the Doppleganger up for sale on the open market, where it has sold much like the craft handles - slowly, sluggishly and with the creeping sensation that it's about to stop altogether.

The Doppleganger's primary weapon, the Blockbuster cannon, was adapted from a Krupp 80mm tank cannon, making it the largest gun ever mounted on a production aircraft.


Gotta love the whimsy in a one engine, unbalanced airframe!

We need to divide the two main political parties into four main political parties to better reflect reality.

And how has multi-partyism worked for say France or Germany?

Uh huh...

Ah, yes, NatGeo did an excellent documentary on this, the one UD's linked in his post above.  It went into the history of the Horten and how the B-2 developers built off the work.  It still amazes me as to how advanced the Germans were by the end of WWII.  A SOA stealth bomber that's flying today, directly linked to work done by the Germans with the HO 229.  I've watched the NG documentary several times and highly recommend it.  I thought of it when I was watching the opening ceremonies for this week's Rose Bowl which included an impressive low-level flyby of a B-2.

Crap I missed that, had to have been very cool...and quiet...

QuoteI also enjoy the Luft 46 artwork.  Since I collect aviation-related diecast and prefer rather unique subjects, I picked up one of Luft-X's resin models of the HO 229, sometime back.  It's very nicely done.


I wager you must also be a big fan of the P-38, true?

QuoteI noticed Luft-X is releasing a model of the Haunebu I soon, so I couldn't resist putting in an order for one. ;)



Too bad the Haunebu-stuff is almost certainly completely mythical.  Or is it? ;)



Welp, there is this Kecksburg incident to ponder:

A very good friend of mine's wife died of anorexia in her early 40's.  It started in her teens when she was a highly ranked competitive gymnast and water skier. Not a good way to go.

Massive suckup-age noted.

Just because you put your false accusations in question format does not mean you aren't libeling my avatar.

Do you even know what "libel" is and what the legal prospects of it are?

Here's a hint - one can not libel an "avatar".

She is 29-39lbs lower than her ideal weight, and 2.5-12.5lbs lower than underweight.  I list ranges bec her actual said weight varied depending on sources.  Never said she is anorexic - You and Metron have a way of putting words in people's mouths.  I said being underweight is a sign of anorexia.  Just like swamp grass is a sign of a pending landslide.  But not every swamp grass leads to a landslide because some swamps are on flat land.  Likewise, not every underweight women is anorexic.  Some have cancer.  And to pre-empt your next illogical reply, I did not just say she were to have cancer.

Are you done indemnifying yourself eight ways from Sunday from your initial allusion?

If you didn't want folks to react to the anorexic speculation why did you tender it in the first place?

Someone needs to have her copy of People magazine impounded.

I maintain what I said, which is that being underweight is a sign of anorexia.

Oh I see...never mind reality:

https://www.webmd.com/mental-health/eating-disorders/anorexia-nervosa/mental-health-anorexia-nervosa#1

...anorexia, is a potentially life-threatening eating disorder that is characterized by self-starvation and excessive weight loss. The disorder is diagnosed when a person weighs at least 15% less than his or her normal/ideal body weight.

The symptoms of anorexia often include the following:

Rapid weight loss over several weeks or months
Continuing to diet/limited eating even when thin or when weight is very low
Having an unusual interest in food, calories, nutrition, or cooking
Intense fear of gaining weight
Strange eating habits or routines, such as eating in secret
Feeling fat, even if underweight
Inability to realistically assess one's own body weight
Striving for perfection and being very self-critical
Undue influence of body weight or shape on self-esteem
Depression, anxiety, or irritability
Infrequent or irregular, or even missed menstrual periods in females
Laxative, diuretic, or diet pill use
Frequent illness
Wearing loose clothing to hide weight loss
Compulsive exercising
Feeling worthless or hopeless
Social withdrawal
Physical symptoms that develop over time, including: low tolerance of cold weather, brittle hair and nails, dry or yellowing skin, anemia, constipation, swollen joints, tooth decay, and a new growth of thin hair over the body



So how many of these symptoms does Sandy have?

Yeah, he seemed like a good dude. Joked about us running into each other so much. I really did like his energy, I should have given him an edible. Next time I see him, I'll see if I can get him on the show.

I hope you can, he doesn't really seem to do the talk show circuit with any regularity.

Lotsa cool ones there, I loved the planes of Crimson Skies, especially that one that looked a bit like a Stuka but shot lightning bolts. ;D



Produced under close security at the Bayerische Flugzeugwerke, the Bf 106 was bought exclusively by agents of the German government and supplied to Von Essen and his Die Spinne group.

Von Essen had the Piranha's hardpoints replaced with his own Tesla projector, a weapon designed to disable an enemy's avionics, making him easy prey to the Piranha's machine guns. Although effective, the Piranha suffered against heavier opposition, and was almost totally ineffective against zeppelins.

Von Essen therefore acquired the Focke-Wulf Fw 206 Doppleganger to provide his growing air force with heavier firepower. Die Spinne air forces rapidly developed the most effective strategy - Piranhas would distract and destroy escort fighters, while the heavier Dopplegangers would use their earthshattering Blockbuster cannon to destroy hard targets.

From wiki, sounds like the guy was squandering his hawt babe:

QuoteTennille filed for divorce from Dragon in the State of Arizona on January 16, 2014, after 39 years of marriage. Dragon stated he was unaware of this until he was served with the divorce papers.[10] Dragon, contacted by TMZ on January 22, 2014, stated: "I don't know why Toni filed for divorce."[11]

On January 23, 2014, The Washington Post reported health insurance related to health issues might be the reason for the divorce, as both issues had been referenced in divorce documents filed with the courts. Tennille had reported on her blog in 2010 her husband's neurological condition was characterized by such extreme tremors he could no longer play keyboards.[12]

The divorce was finalized in July 2014. In her memoirs, Tenille described their marriage as loveless and lacking physical affection.[13][14]

Regarding his ex-wife's new memoirs, Dragon stated, "No, I haven't read it." In an interview on March 17, 2016, Dragon, responding to the book by his ex-wife, would comment only, "I was drugged (at the time of his divorce), that's all I can tell you."[15]

Tsoukalos has always interested me, who knew his non-woo background:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Giorgio_A._Tsoukalos
Tsoukalos is of Greek-Austrian heritage.[12] He is a 1998 graduate of Ithaca College in Ithaca, New York, with a bachelor's degree in sports information and communication.[2] For several years he worked as a bodybuilding promoter and a volunteer in IFBB sanctioned bodybuilding contests, including Mr. Olympia.[2][13] He produced and directed the annual San Francisco Pro Grand Prix from 2001 until 2005.
