:sad: about Atkins. Didn't realize he was already that old.

Sorry bud, that thread turned in to a homophobe and religious zealots disaster.

Hi, Mr. C. I have been reading about that conflict since I was a child. My Dad and four uncles went off to that war, three came back. I have been playing an operational level WWII in the Pacific Game since 1994 (actually since 1978 in the paper and chip version) and just have grown in knowledge about that conflict. But, I am just a hobbiest. The real folks have resources which could tell you which production run that aircraft came from and which squadrons it was assigned to, etc., etc.

The two most basic difference is that the F4F is a midwing fuselage design while the F6F is a low wing design, and the landing gear from the F4F descend from the lower front portion of the fuselage just abaft of the engine, while the F6F landing gear is mounted in the wings. Others, the three scoops under the nose of the engine cooling air intake, a difference in the engine cowling itself, longer 'hood' between front engine cowling and cockpit on the F6F, a different angle between the two, different fairing abaft the cockpit and the rear fuselage. When all else fails, look at the gun location in the forward edge of the wing. F4F-3 had two guns in each wing closely spaced, F4F-4 had six, but the outboard gun was much further out on each wing than the inboard pair, while the F6F had three on each wing closely spaced together (looks very much like the gun spacing on the P-51D)

clear out your inbox, pappy.

thanks pappy. Thought you'd get a kick out of it. :)

Good to hear from you dude. I've just been busy. I moved to Chicago & got a little serious with a girl. Enjoying the off-season and have gotten excited again. I've been trolling through and doing more reading than posting. You guys post too much good stuff now. Plus, I'm pretty happy with things - Dolphins wise & life wise. I saw ToddPhins came back under a different name. Good to see him back. We had some great arguments/discussions. Looks like the forum has grown quite a bit. Great to see. I'll keep up, throw some fist bumps around, and re-up the VIP.

I've looked a bit before. Believe he's from Texas and I don't have any family I know of in Texas. I wouldn't really want him at 12, but if we moved down I could live with it.

Haha, a couple people have asked me that. Not that I know of. I like him a lot as a player though and if the Dolphins draft him I will no doubt get his jersey. Still hoping to find out that we are related somehow though.

Thank you my friend..saw some awkward things with him, thought he was someone else for a second..hope all is well in your life brother.

Hey big pappy, I included you in my "ThePhins Wiener Nickname thread". lol

yep, I debated on just keeping Simona avatar for consistency, but that's what happens when you play with your avatar after drinking. same way I ended up with Simona as my avatar

Thanks I'll definitley check it out bro

She's a Bollywood actress. You can kind of tell the difference between latin and Indian by the nose, fyi...I don't know the name (Chandra something?). I'll post it by the pic when I find it...good vibes, huh?

Thanks for sharing that vitalize. When we have a certain poster here telling us he knows more about playing OL than a guy like Keith Sims, it's the height of delusional arrogance.

From high school football on up to the NFL, offensive linemen are taught that if their assignment gets his hands up, they have to hammer him in the stomach or diaphragm, just below the pads, dropping his hands.
The weapon of choice is the palm heel strike - called a ‘shotei’ in the Japanese fighting arts - and it’s identical to the technique used in football, including the NFL. I’m a smaller guy, and I used it to easily break four inches of pine at a time - the 300+ lb behemoths can do a lot of damage with it, very fast.

all clear

Apologies mate. All clear now.

Sorry Marvin, I'm afraid the dark grey background/white letters is the only graphics format at fh.

All clear.

Nope, no warning. just removed. It's all good; at least a few people had time to get a laugh over it. lol.

lol. I saw the pics. B/c midgets are half the size or real people, does your pic count as a 2some, not of a 3some? :lol:
Regarding my "post", I would've made the same response to anyone beginning a post with "I was a cheerleader the past 2 years" b/c it's the perfect opportunity for an out of context remark, and it probably would've been fine. However, since it was a response to a person who's....... rhymes with hay, and because I posted a picture of a guy in a cheerleader outfit, it all of a sudden becomes a hate crime (lol), when in fact I could care less about his..... rhymes with alienation.

I'm in NC but I'd prefer to watch tennis than a Panther game, so TBH I'm more inclined to trust your opinion of Moore.
PS: do you know you have a beetle living on your head.

If you clear up some PM space, I can answer to that little military discussion of ours.

On your location on your info, it says "Chad Henne'a" when I believe you mean to say "Chad Henne's"... just thought I'd let you know.

thanks for the display of protest my friend. My profile ban was lifted but unfortunately my IP address is still banned so I can only post from my phone...... which means I won't be posting very often.

For a common cause, NOBODY is stronger than the common folks

In my honest opinion, this OL has done little of nothing though to deserve a nickname other than perhaps "The Potential Great Ones." The team really needs to win something meaningful, like a playoff game or two, before any unit on the team should get a nickname. IMO anyway. Kids. Whataya gonna do?
MrClean:
sarcasm often sours the milk of human kindness.
