F4U in Europe

[swampyankee]

Were there any F4Us in Catch 22? That was some great B-25 porn.

Unlikely. Catch-22 took place in Europe.

Thread Title?

Don't confuse hypothetical questions and fiction.

Don't confuse hypothetical questions and fiction.

That's why we don't talk about a certain plane unless using code words, like "groundhog"...

 

[SaparotRob]

Okay guys, you do know I'm aware there weren't any F4Us in either the book or movie or the thread title, right?

Or...were they and just not mentioned?

I remember my brother reading and re-reading Catch-22 one summer back in the sixties and him just laughing his ass off, he really enjoyed it.

Gotta' admit, when I tried to read it years later, I didn't get through the first chapter, I ended renting the movie on VHS (kids, ask your parents) and really only watching the B-25's and fast forwarding through the rest of it.

Sorry, I guess I'm a lot more shallow than you guys or just not as smart, but I didn't grok it at all, in fact there was danger of becoming discorporated.

I have so much to learn.

You put your finger squarely on a MUCH better novel of the 60's. Thou Art God!

 

[SaparotRob]

I don't understand, Hard Sir. I am only an egg.

You're channeling your inner Minderbender.

Oh, but there are . . . in my imagination!

Ahh... one who groks.

Perhaps next we'll see a Fair Witness.

 

[SaparotRob]

No grokking in fullness. This planet has laws.

I think Heinlein was my favorite SciFi author.. among stiff competition. W.E.B Griffin is my favorite 'contemporary'.

 

[SaparotRob]

I was a big fan of Larry Niven. How about a Lying Bastard vs. Hot Needle of Inquiry thread?

 

[GrauGeist]

Some of my all-time favorite Sci-Fi authors: Heinlein, Asimov, Bradbury, Saberhagen, J. Green (not W. Green, the WWII fiction author).

 

[SaparotRob]

Love all of those science fiction authors. Saberhagen sometimes makes me go Berserk, though.

This planet has laws.

Laws? We don't need no stinking laws!
