The Person Below Me (TPBM)

[A4K]

No, been ages since I ate popcorn.

Am guilty of rolling jaffas (round balls of chocolate with hard flavoured coatings) down the sloped wooden floors of the pictures when I was kid though (as Wayne mentioned)

TPBM will tell us a weirder name than Jaffa for a chocolate (and what it means if they know)...

 

[Gnomey]

Can't say I do know of a weirder name than that...

TPBM does know of one...

 

[Aaron Brooks Wolters]

Snickerdoodles, a small mixture of crushed peanuts and caramel covered in chocolate. About the size of a large marbles.

TPBM now has the WTF look on there face.

 

[ccheese]

Nope.... I remember Snickerdoodles, and I remember Fiddle-Faddle, too....

TPBM is too young to remember these tasty snacks....

They don't ring a bell.

TPBM remembers participating in duck and cover drills in grammar school so they could survive getting hit over the head with an atomic bomb...

 

[vikingBerserker]

Yup, along with tornado and hurrican drills!

TPBM remembers those days as well.

 

[meatloaf109]

Yes,... yes I do...
TPBM has a fondness for Minnie Mouse.

 

[VBF-13]

Sure do!

TPBM knew the F6F, for example, had to taxi in a zig-zag fashion...

 

[Wayne Little]

Really?

TPBM is now happy to know what jaffas are....Cadbury Jaffas 140g : Gifts New Zealand - NZ Shop : Shop New Zealand

 

[meatloaf109]

Yep, I am. I think they are called "sixlets" here in the states.
TPBM will disagree with that.

 

[VBF-13]

I know what sixtuplets are.

Wayne, they couldn't see over the hood, only out the sides, so they had to go down the runway zigging and zagging to get into position for the take-off.

TPBM is afraid to fly...

 

[Gnomey]

Nope...

TPBM has never flown...

 

[andy2012]

nope, I've flown.

TPBM wants to get there pilots licence.

 

[Lucky13]

Yip! The top of the line one, any number of engines and any weather! 8)

TPBM, like me, hasn't done this TPBM, for quite some time....

 

[Gnomey]

Been doing it a little bit...

TPBM rarely posts here...

 

[Lucky13]

True! Only the second time after been AWOL for a while....

TPBM did AWOL once while in service...

 

[meatloaf109]

Nope, but I did do some time in the brig for a...um,...spirited night, shall we say?...
TPBM was a good boy during his time.

 

[Aaron Brooks Wolters]

Tried to get in to the Services but none would take me. Stayed outta jail in civil life so far though.

TPBM is an exceptional shot.

 

[meatloaf109]

So far, eh?... You aren't trying,.. are you?
I can hit the broad side of a barn.
TPBM needs glasses.

 

[Aaron Brooks Wolters]

Not yet. And no Paul I don't want to go to jail.


TPBM is now in a relaxed stupor and enjoying it immensely.
