Dear Comrade Miller:

You will be most pleased to be informed that I have been able to secure for you the latest glorious model Soviet tripod. This pean to advanced socialist technology will make your picture taking a tribute to the glory of our command economy.

At only 40 kilos in weight, you will be able to carry the tripod on all of your many journeys and make many difficult night shots.

Also, progressive Soviet design means you don't have to worry about mating the tripod to different thread mount types - we don't use threads! You just drill a whole in your camera to match the tripod and soon you are making long exposures at any tractor factory or collective farm sovkhozes you may be visiting.

Glory to the revolution of the proletariat!

I think I got "Airbii" from FT somewhere, but I'm much more a fan of calling the New England Patriots the "Flying Elvii", as per Gregg "TMQ" Easterbrook. Take a good look at the helmets and you'll see why.

The majority of gas stations are individually owned and operated. They simply contract with a name-brand for product and marketing support. @:-)

Congrats sbm12 on 20k



I love how one asks to show ID and merely glances at it a la TSA style :rolleyes:. At least make an effort.

I am just surprised that the gas stations actually prefer cash. It is dirty, it takes up space... Actually, I mean it costs to have to get armor trucks to pick up the cash or attract robbery, etc.

Anyways, another sign of increasing CC fraud. I ordered some blu-ray discs - yea, I'm getting a blu-ray player, finally! - last night from a company I've never ordered before, familyvideo.com. And today, I got an email from the company to call them to confirm my information.

Good to hear -- as long as she's eating, drinking, etc. as normal -- then it sounds like she'll be ok. When does your roommate get back?

Friends, Comrades, Boxiens:

It is my distinct honor and pleasure to share with you this moment, my post number 20,000 on FlyerTalk. Thanks to the foresight and generosity of our deal leader, Pandy Reterson, multiple successive 5 year plans have been successfully implemented growing our once small and weak nation into a powerful and mighty one. No longer will other lounges be able to push us around or command the respect they once did. No longer will the traveling public be safe from the threat of General :rolleyes: and the emotipillar army. No longer will a bar cart be safe from me.

This moment in time has been almost nine years in the making. I look forward to the next 20,000 posts coming faster, with more wit and with more alcohol.

Long live the PWP!
