God's Teeth! This thread has surpassed 100,000 views :eek:

Pretty impressive!

This OMNI thread still has us beat with over 420k views.

Deservedly so.

So, uh, what happens when the lowest common denominator technically becomes the highest? :D

I can't help myself.

Here's your answer.

It doesn't matter - most of FT is a bunch of bleeding heart liberals. :D

Da, Comrade.

I realized that I was chumming the waters posting that little commentary in the TX heavy CO board.

But it was delightfully amusing to me - and I'm sure at least one or two others. Now if you'll excuse me I'll be worshiping at the alter of John Stewart. :o

I'm pretty liberal myself. Always thought despotic communism was the way to go - as long as you're running the show, and not part of the lumpen proletariat. The Russkies also had some sweet patriotic/military tunes. There's a room in the Spy Museum in D.C. devoted to Soviet Spies that's painted red and has those Russian marching tunes playing over loudspeakers, with black and white footage scrolling across the screens of Red Square Military Parades and Bear Bomber squadrons. Standing in there is like living Red October. :D

AFAIK, I'm the only FTer with FMLN Headbands purchased from El Museo de la Revolución in Perquín, El Salvador. The museum is housed in a doublewide trailer on top of a hill in the jungle. Best not to stray from the path leading to it, as the jungle is still an active minefield.

I like the look of that Air Taxi.

And for barbecue in Houston, I don't think you can beat the ribs at Pizzatola's on Shepherd just south of the Katy Freeway. Had some for lunch today. Yumm.

Nice. :D

"Your reservation requires special handling. Please check in at an airport kiosk. "

D'oh! :mad:

EDIT: At least both upgrades cleared. :D

Vote Ron Paul. ^^^^

Without a doubt. I'm glad to be in the company of not only aviation nerds, but camera nerds as well. ^

Here are some shots I took over the weekend.

One significant improvement on the 40D is the dust removal system. Plus right now the 40D has a $200 rebate. I picked one up at B&H for $939 - a steal. For the list of improvements over the 30D, it's a slam dunk at that price.
