Little know fact here (said in my best Cliff Clavin impersonation):

The Kid in the 7th picture, the one and only Filo T. Fentnwerth, went on to invent Stealth technology for the US Air Force, and is now working on stealth applications for the US Navy.

Scoop :D

Yikes! One word for these two:

SALADS!!

That's great. I probably would have enjoyed learning from your pop. But the far left revisionist history that was displayed by alfaromeo didn't start with electricians, engineers or secretaries. It began in the halls of academia where college professors, driven by hate for America, started writing these kinds of textbooks and indoctrinating their young students. Academia (or "intellectuals" as they prefer to be called) is heavily populated today by folks from the very far left of the political spectrum. This is how many of them are trying to affect change. So yes, overall I do have disdain for "intellectuals" who've never left the schoolhouse. Especially the one in the White House.

It is my opinion, but it's based on fact.

And it was actually the ancient eh Mesopotamians that first invented M&M's. (Said in my best Cliff Clavin impersonation). :D

And the Academy Award for best dramatic post goes to.....

To get the thread back on track...rumor I heard today, so I'm spreading it. We're supposedly getting 12 early production, overweight 787-8s that nobody else wants early next year. Probably getting them for about $29.99 each. Also, SD was in France last week with a bunch of 4th floor types, finalizing a deal with Airbus. Talk amongst yourselves.

Well gee, Carl, as someone who actually risked my life in defense of our country, as opposed to spouting baloney, I appreciate your lesson on patriotism.

You are so blinded by your ideological BS that you can't even appreciate the subtle irony of history. From the British perspective, the colonists were terrorists and traitors to the crown. From the colonists perspective, they were patriots freeing themselves of oppression.

Menachem Begin planned and ordered the bombing of the King David Hotel. General Curtis LeMay said himself that if the U.S. lost World War II he would have been tried as a war criminal for his fire bombing of Japanese cities.

They both won their wars and so they are heroes and not terrorists. The colonists won so George Washington is the father of our country and not a traitor to the British army. He came to fame serving as a Major in the British army in the French and Indian wars. He was rewarded by the crown with large swaths of what is now Ohio. From their viewpoint he was a traitor.

I guess I can try to spell it out more clearly for you. Your view of history depends upon where you sit. I know you are so wrapped up in ideological BS that you view the world through a soda straw. Open your mind and you will see there is whole big world out there; not just the little tidbits that cute blonde woman read to you from a teleprompter. (why are they all blonde ?)

Oh, and Carl I got my college education at the Air Force Academy, a known hotbed of left wing radicalism.

That 787 rumor has been around for a long time, but nobody has bought those birds yet, have they? They'd be good to run back and forth to Hawaii...

Does SD make deals? I guess he's an attorney, so maybe, yeah. Got to be the 330NEO then. Which combined with the aforementioned rules out the A350. Or not...

When is that board meeting?
