Should the Worst Ever Happen to Me

[water wings]

Double...post.... again... grrrrrr

[water wings]

... at what point did men stop being men and start writing poetry about their impending doom?

Antoine de St-Exupere... i hear he wrote some good shit..."wind, sand and stars" "the night flight", "southern mail", and of course "the aviator".. apparently he wrote in the cockpit during his flights and scribbled poems on his maps. He never returned from his mission in his P-38 from Corsica. He was killed in action on July 31st 1944. Known as "the pilots' poet". So i guess sissies have been around for a while...

question to all you mens' men... would you rather die in a fiery car crash and be a statistic, or spin in and at least have a bunch of strangers on AvCanada give a shit, if only for a week or 2? never mind, i know the answer...go back to scratching your balls...

just wash your hands afterwards...

[shack]

answer...go back to scratching your balls...

just wash your hands afterwards...

If I went back to scratching my balls, you'd be out of work. Always like a woman to ask questions she already knows the answers to.

Here's a little guide I put together for the ladies...when in doubt, bake me a pie.

[water wings]

spazzz... why i oughtta...

did you say pie?

I got nothing against men writing poetry. Lets go back to what I wrote

200hr Wonder, you're going to be allllll-right!

Should the worst ever happen to my while I sore through the air do not weep for me

Sorry I'm late to the party but were you drunk when you wrote this?

[Intentional Left Bank]

Should the worst ever happen to my while I sore through the air do not weep for me for I was doing what I loved. I have flown and touch the clouds and been in harmony with the wind. Never a moment do I regret the choices that I have made or the career path that I have chosen. Do mourn the people who perhaps perished behind me, however for me I was at peace. I was doing what I loved and would have it no other way, for we are the few the lucky. We have touched the face of god and seen hell in a cloud that was gray and nasty. If I where to die while trying to fly my wounded craft to the ground in safety so be it that is what is meant for me. I am not the first nor will I be the last just do not forget me, and learn from my sacrifice.

*200Hour Wonder*

Flying is the only thing I have truly loved and I would not be complete had I never done it

Please should I fall post my name here for all to know once my parents are notified, for I would like to be celebrated as our other fallen brethren have been. Celebrate my life do not mourn it.

Good lord. Where to begin. First of all, should the worst happen to you while you “sore[sic] through the air," you’re goddamn right I won’t weep. For you are absolutely right: anyone who has “flown and touch[sic] the clouds and been in harmony with the wind” needn’t be mourned.

I’m going to go out on a limb here though and hazard a guess that your statement that “…and would have it no other way, for we are the few the lucky,” won’t be reflected in the look on your face should you perhaps meet your end by post-crash fire.

One small note about self-eulogizing. Using even the smallest fragment of a lovely poem by Mr. Magee smacks of plagiarizing. Go ahead, use the whole poem, but I’d argue that he holds the patent on the “touched the face of god” line.

Oh and if you’ve already seen hell in a “gray and nasty” cloud at 200 hrs, well, how do you top that? Hell, by definition would seem to be as bad as it could get, so if you’ve survived that, perhaps you are indeed immortal, just as you give the impression you wish your legacy to be.

I would however ask that perhaps you identify yourself to me should we ever be so fortunate as to fly together. The attitude “so be it that is what is meant for me” doesn’t quite cut it for me when it come to flying an airplane or dealing with emergencies. I don’t want anyone accepting their fate in my cockpit.

Sacrifice can be defined as “the act of losing or surrendering something as a penalty for a mistake or fault or failure to perform etc.” Be advised that we will indeed heed your injunction to “…learn from [your] sacrifice.”

It’s sad to hear that “flying is the only thing I have truly loved.” Hopefully UserFriendly, perhaps also 4x4, Chevrolet, C and C++, Linux, Web Design, HTML, Java, American Football, Baseball, Car Racing, and Golf can fill up the empty holes in your otherwise loveless life, Graham (or should we call you Beowolf?)

Perhaps I’ve come across a bit harsh. Know this: if you’re a good guy, your friends will indeed post your name here. They will indeed celebrate your life if they deem it worth celebrating. Your attempt at self-aggrandizement will do little to affect this. Provided that they stay out the “brethren” column longer than you do.

... so far!

ehh water woman/superwoman......with all due respect.....don't give me that shit. there's a big difference between busting around in the circuit.....cruising at fl350...to strapping yourself into a twin engined fighter and knowing well, that you have a 1 in 3 chance of being shot down by a plane with a black cross or a round red dot!!!! and even more comforting to know that if shot down by the japs....you'd mostly likely be a) tortured b) eatin' alive or c) tortured and than eatin' alive.

on that note......i'm going to get me some lunch......

cheers

really... thanks for the info... i heard that from my Dad and Gdad... you're a fighter pilot, too?

i guess sarcasm must be introduced with the follwing words: "the following is sarcasm" i thought the ball scratching would have given that away, but ... never mind tough crowd

what's for lunch, pie?

[Babel Fish]

well, ww, guess Mr. Assrope could use a dictionary...based on his command of the Engrish language (and his insight into Japanese dining habits) I'm guessing that he's a graduate of some ESL class, so maybe he doesn't know what sarcasm is...

Assrope, this freeby is for you, big guy...

from the Oxford Concise Dictionary:

sarcasm, n. Bitter or wounding remark, taunt, esp. one ironically worded; language consisting of, faculty of uttering, use of, such remarks; so sarcastic a., sarcastically adv. [f. LL f. late Gk]

Hope this helps

[BlueSkies12]

do not weep for me for I was doing what I loved.

I love to take a shit. But if i died on the toilet that would be a damn tragedy.

LOL Holy Christ that's perfect man

[SkyWolfe]

WW, yeah, Pie is for lunch!

Turns out Shack's baking it right now in his easy bake oven.

[200hr Wonder]

Wow I did not think my little post would stir the pot this much.

For all of you who like it, and have said so thank you.
For all of you who like it and have said nothing you’re Welcome.
For all of you who hated it well too bad you can’t like everything.

As for a few specific comments I have this to say:


raven54: Trust me I am pretty sure I do not love crashing, but generally before that you are flying which I do love. I have never gone flying thing hey lets go and crash.

ch135146: I have a great respect for human life. I could never take one intentionally, and when someone I have known dies, I do mourn. I never asked you mourn. Oh an for the record I did know Ed.

av8tor_assrope: What does a shitty screw driver have to do with being a wossie?

Dust Devil: I tend to think about my own mortality, good or bad. I have almost died and I mean they had called the priest for last rights almost died. That kind of changes a guy.

Intentional Left Bank: I did not intentionally plagiarize that statement, though it may have been, however I have not read any Magee in many years. Oh and if I am in a wounded plane, trust me I am not going to stop trying till the last part stops moving. Oh and congratulations, you looked up my MSN profile would you like a cookie for your effort. And I happen to have given up lots of things to fly, including job security, and financial security.

BlueSkies12: Dying with a smile on your face aint that bad

[av8tor_assrope]

babel bi@tch,

you gave me an english lesson. now i’m going to give you a life lesson:

“find a girl with small hands, it'll make your cock look bigger”…..wait a minute…….you got water woman

cheers

Don't worry, it's really hard to die in the circuit.

Man, if outsiders were to read this thread, they'd think pilots are really tough!

Cool, maybe it'll get me chicks!
