couple things -

isn't it pastries and not pasties? Women with pasties eat pastries, right?

And what happened to the T-shirt idea? Is it a dead issue?

Over 'here', pasty has 3 definitions.

Pronounced Parr-stee, it's a meat/vegetable mix placed in a circle of PASTRY, folded over, and cooked, producing a semi-circular pie.
Pronounced Pay-stee, it refers to 'paste like consistency, colour, etc.

And thirdly, and I hope this is what you meant, also pronounced Pay-stee (or Pay-stees in this case) is 'a small piece of material, usually decorated, worn on the nipples of strip-tease dancers.'

two things for me come to mind.

1. ability (or explanation how) to put images in a PM

2. format for a/c data base...

I have about 640 entries for 355th FG Mustangs and T-Bolts, plus Honor Roll of dates, pilots, a/c serial numbers, MACR's etc for WWII and Viet Nam a/c plus Encounter Logs of all air battles fought by 355th during WWII for those trying to match up units and pilots in LW.

I am deep into the 8th AF day by day scoring - which will NEVER be 100% accurate or complete but will offer aggragate insight to ratios, types of a/c lost and causes, etc.

I would donate these plus other stuff I have collected to contibute such efforts - I'm sure some other very knowledgeable guys on this forum would do the same.

I have 'Above and Beyond' Narratives for all the 355th pilots that won DSC/AFC or MoH, plus pretty good bio's of each of the 21 air aces..

Group Histories - perhaps three paragraphs each.

How about Member Photo albums for units. I put 100 herre, same (some number - different shots) on Armyairforces.com - but I have a lot of other stuff. A lot of people get leery because of misuse but I'm more about historical completeness than commercial.

How about a 'side elevation' section for those that want to display their art - but in a specific format and size.

How about referencing all to units and cross reference to type

I would love this site and Peter Randall's to become the premier WWII 'Go to' Place for historical data - despite the insidious influence of cretin like squids which lurk in the shadows..

Hey u sumbitch, I resemble that remark, although I am in no way related to a cretin...

Good solid ideas Bill.... I wish I had the capability to accomplish what u ask, but EVanGilder or Horse would be the only ones here who could pull this together....

Hey our place is awesome, worth £400,000 about 4 years ago when we had it valued...Im guessing its gone up, and theres a lot of potential: some old barns with the possibility of being converted to holiday lets with their own garden, an adjascent field for sale...

Beautiful place - certainly better groomed than mine - lol.

I have to step around Irish Wolfhound deposits like a minefield of cow patties.

How did you know I had you in mind? was it Cretin or Squid that gave it away?

I DO have a lot of 'stuff' that I would gladly send you guys with no strings attached. A lot of it is 355th related but if the Forum wants to put WWII units together, it's a start.

I could easily expand and do a one page overview of each of the Fighter Groups in WWII and go a long way on Bomb groups..

Oh, BTW, ask Horse if he could include the state flag of Texas or Dallas Cowboys or even Confederate Flag as subsets of US?

lesofprimus · Dec 15, 2007

Horse is pretty much out of the picture, so Eric is our go-to man... However, the Texas State flag gimmick????

Piss on that, let alone a freakin Cowboys flag.... Oh nevermind on the Texas flag idea.... My Wife, whose over my shoulder at this very minute, beat me on the head with a collander to wake me up...

Horse, please include the Texas flag, please.............

DerAdlerIstGelandet · Dec 16, 2007

Ah I see the old ball and chain is firmly in control!

Njaco · Dec 16, 2007

(on knees) please, no freaking Cowgirl flag!!!!!!!!

drgondog · Dec 16, 2007

Where is your sense of pride guys.. America's team in America's State - what could be more American?

Jacko - off your knees and give us a rendition of "the eyes of Texas are upon you" or, Yellow Rose of Texas" - either will do.

Dan - your better half clearly has the brains in the family.. go with it, man..and tell her I said Howdy.

lesofprimus · Dec 16, 2007

Goddamn Texans and their pride..... As for that Americas Team bullsh!t, take the Cowgirls and the Braves, roll both of em up in a tight little ball, and flush it down the toilet...

Njaco · Dec 16, 2007

Philly is the birthplace of Liberty!!! Better to put an Eagles, Flyers, Phillies or 76ers pic! The City of Brotherly Love! (Scr*w the Cowgirls! )

oh, and I would rather sing "Under the Boardwalk"

pbfoot · Dec 16, 2007

Wouldn't that muffle your voice (I'd rather sing somewhere else)

Alrighty then, I guess the team flags are out. Let me go back to the original suggestion again and have a look.
