It's only half time, but he's thrown 3 picks for 21 points to Tampa!

Now, I love to watch Eli lose, but my wife LOVES Eli, so, unless he pulls his head out of his arse, and they come back in the second half...well...I'm not getting ANY tonight, maybe all week!

Thanks a lot Eli, you TOOL!


Welllll, it looks like someone will be MIA from APC tonight. :D

Just think how lucky you are that you didn't have to do what they did to get the hand selection! Always two sides of the story my friend, be proud you werent a "9" pilot:rolleyes:

if it was XJ it was actually upside down..I had the pleasant experience of meeting one of the "nine" wonder FO's and he sure tried his best to put me in my place as a lowly puddle jumping -200 captain! it was quite entertaining!

Finally a silver wound badge (Purple Heart), least it doesn't apear to be black so he got banged up a few times. Can't read his cuff and too lazy to look it up. Sorry Boomer, he's not a member of of the NSDAP (nazi) just a combat pilot and probably loved pork chops. May I nominate myself as TOOL of the Day? Cheers H

Angrypilotwife wasn't exaggerating, you really do lay on the couch watching The Military Channel all day long.

You forgot to mention the First Place Award from the San Antonio World Rodeo Competition- as evidenced by his belt buckle.

Do former F/As really fall for that kind of talk? Good luck in any case. :D

Maybe, but it's efficient and nobody stares at my flair in the checkout line. I can do the whole quick-change in less than a minute. Putting the crap back on in the car takes a little longer and carries a bit more risk.

It was at XJ I was just a Saab CA so nowhere near their superb skills. I also liked the FO that did a 4 day trip in crocs and would preflight the plane wearing a coors light sweatshirt!
