GDT: CARCHI

[Stubu]

PHICAR should be going up.

Fikar is the Swedish present tense for the social activity of drinking coffee and having buns and cookies on the side.

For some reason the top picture on the Finnish wikipedia page for it has a swastika embroided on the tablecloth.

That swastika is trying to be oblique so it's suspicious. The old Finnish Air Force swastika from 1918 was squarely placed. (Funny that FiAF is two weeks older than UK's RAF, because the silly buggers dismantled their Royal Air Corps just before to unwittingly give us the honor of having the oldest Air Force on the planet, not counting the balloon or zeppelin equipped ones but only the motor powered ones, with an initial total of one (1) aircraft in the inventory.) And obviously swastika is a way older religious symbol in India and other exotic places. That said, that being so, that having been said, I'm glad we got rid of it.

Can't be.

1) Posts with more than 1 sentence.
2) Not ALL caps
3) Posts that are coherent and make sense.

This doesn't work. MV's posts are more than all caps, they lay out multiple sentences in one go [quilty as charged!], and they go beyond the coherence and sense-making of mere mortals. Try harder.

 

[Stubu]

Nah.

SC420 = CI

Just stop with the chemistry talk here. I can't even remember what natrium chloride was for, or the molecular weights.

 

[Stubu]

Now I have to defend the honor of FiAF since the ever diplomat Lempo sort of started.

This number by a Capt. Ukskoski won the Best Solo Perf in the Royal International Air Tattoo 19, FWIW:



It actually doesn't look like much but the subtle throwing the thing around like he's drifting a volkswagen won the vote.

Killing time before the next GDT. (And some honest small country syndrome in the mix, the czech can symphatize.)

 

[Lempo]

The Air Force that made Brewster-239 the most lethal killing machine is bloody well capable of doing its own defending.

 

[Lempo]

LITTLE FELLA MADE IT INTO SPACE.

That's more than you can say of Poland.

I honestly don’t know how this forum survived so long without you

HOW SHOULD I KNOW. I WASN’T THERE.

 

[Joe McGrath]

How many people truly know those guys though? I honestly don't know 2 of those 4 you listed so am curious how well known they are.

Maybe it's the sports they cover, how long ago they covered it, and the medium though. Broadcasters like Pat Summerall, Harry Carey, Chris Berman, Al Michaels, Joe Buck, Cosell, etc... are very well known and many of them definitely play to their personalities/celebrity status as you stated.

Can you imagine Harry Carey on twitter?

32:1 baby (sorry dear Russians, bygones be bygones, water under the fridge, so on, who doesn't lurve Svechnikov, so forth)

But how on earth can we live with the fact that Buffalo Sabers share namespace with Brewster Buffalos?

We can't, that's what killed Buffalo Bill. We can but try hang on, but ultimately, it's inevitable.

If the Twitter was a made of barbecue spare ribs would you eat it.

 

[Roboturner913]

Can you imagine Harry Carey on twitter?

It would be full of incoherent babbling and braggadocio punctuated by fits of old school racism

so basically it would be the typical Twitter account

This is not the political/military forum, and for good reason too.

I'll just say that if the Munich conference of 1938 wasn't a total betrayal, the Czech would've probably beaten the Jerries silly with their outstanding Maginot-esque fortress line and better artillery, and likely collapsed a Mr Shickelgruber's aspirations of supremacy, but that wasn't to be, due to the incredible stupidity of powers that be then. If Mods allow this wee sidetrack.

So, when you drink to us, you can pour a big one for yourself too, dear Sir my man. The Czech republic in the 1930s was an example for all of Europe of a difficult but well working democracy. And it got betrayed again in 1948 by a minority armed coup but that's history again. Now we're here, whew.

Are you guys trying to avoid our fork of the discussion?

Let's get back to Williams vs Martinook and captainry and locker room feelgood

yes

I don't like war.

War, what is it good for? Absolutely nothing

*STANDS AN ATTENTION*

Honestly it warms my heart, whenever a “Westerner” (NORTHERNER IS PROBABLY MORE APPROPRIATE) knows stuff like that.

VENGEANCE WILL BE OURS.

FOR FREEDOM, REBIRTH OF NOKIA, LIBERTY AND REASONABLE BOOZE PRICES.

 

[Stubu]

Unser Sandmännchen would come to us with the technolocigal victories achieved by socialism and drug the wits out of our young heads with his "sleep sand" at sleeping time.

We would try to cheat the bastard by closing our eyes at the throw time, naively unawares that we were there and then being subjects of devious indoctrination.

I grew up goin to sleep with this.



East German sandmen to... obfuscate your vision. The best when you're 5 years old or so, but suspicious later.

 

[Stubu]

We mind the past to not repeat it.

Actually, we are in agreement, Mr Robot Overlord Sir.

Wow. That's a legit swastika too. Not the hastily scrawled stuff you normally see.

Was that created for the benefit of tonight's encounter with Gritty or something?

Theoretically, if it's not diagonal, it could be as old as it historically was in India. But practically, when put somewhere nowadays, it probably isn't that innocent at all, like really at all. So I'd be curious to know who iced that cake and why. Some bozos do it as a joke and there's a lot of people who don't find it any joke.
