What's the purpose of the P-47's protruding barrel sleeves?

[trackend]

No Les more like 32.45% at least and a cycling proficiency badge as a reward

 

[lesofprimus]

Actually, I found the same information, word for word, on 5 different sites........ It was rather frustrating actually....

And thx trackend, I shall definatly make use of the new badge...... On what I have no idea......

 

[FLYBOYJ]

So tell me about those rocks......

 

[DAVIDICUS]

"So DAVI, these rocks...how many colours do they come in, and will they make me pretty?"

Worked for me.

 

[lesofprimus]

Probably the same rocks they used from the TV show Land of The Lost, with those mean ol nasty Sleestacks.........

"HHHIIIIIISSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS"...........................

You guys crack me up your twice as barmy as I am and it,s taken me fifty odd years to reach this level (obviously superior US lunacy)

 

[lesofprimus]

I love being Barmy, especially since i have no clue what it means....

 

[cheddar cheese]

Barmy, ie crazy, mad, hyperactive, etc...

I didn't know it either. I'm afraid I only speak functional Brit. I'm not exactly fluent.

Having been to England 3 times, for about 8 days combined, i didnt pick up enough of the lingo to make it work... Some of it is pretty crazy, just like some of ours on this side o da pond is to them Brits...

I remember, back in the day, circa 1980 or so, when my Dad's buddy from England came over with his family for a summer visit... His son was about my age...

He used the word "fag" for a cigarette and we all thought him out of his mind.......

Then again, some morons here in the Southern US call ALL sodas Cokes... Theyll say gimme a Coke when they want a Sprite or Dr. Pepper.... Makes no sense.... They just point out what they want and say, "Gimme a Coke..."

Freakin Rednecks.......

Well, in my neck of the woods it's a strange combination of North American and British terms. Mostly from this side of the pond though.
Some of the British ones I know, but others I don't.

Thats gotta drive u guys insane....... It could probably get ugly if u start combining some of the words to make sentences.....

 

[Nonskimmer]

"Hey fag, gotta fag?"

WHAM!!!

 

[lesofprimus]

That was totally gay........

 

[Nonskimmer]

Hence the "WHAM!!!" at the end. Fag still means gay around here.

 

[lesofprimus]

I know, I was following up ur funny with my own funny........

 

[plan_D]

Two funnies in such a short time is too much for me.

 

[DAVIDICUS]

All I get is this.

 

[Nonskimmer]

Hmmm.
Must be your settings.

 

[trackend]

I always preferred snout or cough stick too fag (reminded me too much of the old upper class fag system in public schools)
As you may gather im a bit more working class sort of a navi with technical qualifications
