I'll admit I'm a bit confused sometimes when I see LGBP and LGBT and its a bit confusing. I thought Carl's joke was squarely aimed at the confusion the acronyms have created which has been brought up before.

HA! Not only did it eat the whole runway but did you notice a wingtip light was out?! Totally a McDonnell Douglas.

Did it look like this?



We did "dial a flap 19" nonsense coming out of LGA once. I swear a fish hit the windshield. We looked like an F4 dropping off a carrier deck before we climbed out with much smoke and noise.

I couldn't care less what Carl's orientation is, not anyone else's for that matter.

I just find it a little lacking of Carl's omnipotent presence on this board, and the high standard of truth he holds everyone else to, to be calling someone else out (Tsquare) & making the "low blow" of "looking to see if he's in the picture of the Rainbow Parade".

That's all.
Understand something here Sparky, I'm not moved one inch by some breathless hypersensitive PC type who thinks they can modify speech with claims of hurt feelings. I make fun of myself, as well as everyone else. No races or orientations are excluded. If you can't hang, then don't read my stuff.

If you are intent on doing your best impression of Francis, I'll keep responding to you like Sgt. Hulka.

It was. But I'm certainly not above making fun of anyone either.

in their world everything works. if it doesn't then it must be the Sim. which of course was built by CAE. so let's learn all there is to know about the E/E compartment or the louvers in the tail or the freaking NACA air inlet that cools the brakes which is not only not on the walk around slides but not freaking in any freaking book. but oh no, let's talk about it and the door access panel first flight of the day check...
You know you're going to miss it when you're flying something that actually works as advertised.....

If you're going to take such a classless cheap shot at someone's sexual orientation, and/or one of your fellow pilots on an anonymous web board, the least you can do Carl is be man enough to not use a pseudonym when hiding behind a keyboard.

Huh?

Innocent bystander here.

It must have been PG.

Gear,

You might want to consider why you would assume Carl looking to see if Ts was in the Rainbow Parade is a low blow. (insult)
