Aircraft #9 (#9 ... #9 ... #9) -- keg, FDE, Coogs, ptlyon, Zeb, otter, Punkin, et al
 

We need a name for the de plane.

I'm ready to start dropping some bombs ...

which, with my sense of humor, shouldn't be all that surprising ...

Um ... or we could just be the No Names ...

MM
~~:shrug:

I know that he was posting on the big initial assignment thread.

If he's under a table at a British pub, maybe you can take over naming the plane. You can then claim moral high ground if he doesn't like it.

I think I'll wait a little while and see if he checks in ... or send him a message via carrier pigeon ...

MM
~~:)

Name, name, name. Gimme some time to think.

(Mark M dropping bombs? :eek: God save us all. The only safe ones are the targets.)

I think I'm leaning towards the "50 cent Mexican Whore". That's my early favorite.

Dude, Taco is gonna be SO PISSED.

ROFL

I kinda liked the Flying Whites ... or just White Out ...

in honor of the Beatles "Revolution #9" of course.

MM
~~:D

No one mentioned his...... well you know. :rolleyes:

Well, with the way some of my jokes have been around here lately, it's pretty appropriate ...

MM
~~:)

Oh, I assumed that was implied.

Riiiiight.

Beatles?

What the hell is the Beatles. That something old hippies listen to?

Well that is true, but this way he can't go crying back to his place.

But then on second thought :hmmm:

Hey, Mark -- how about "Suckmonster Sue"?

Oh. Sorry! Didn't know I was called to active duty!

Will report at 07:00 Sir!

Or the Sioux City Sue

Is there a difference?

Why not just call it the KEGGER, get a picture of a tapped keg, toss a hottie on top, and put the phrase "I'd Tap that" or soemthing similar :D

Morphius
odd, strange little man

Do I have permission to test fire my gun sir.
 

Left Waist Gunner MiketheWildcat ready for action!

How about "The Keg" for the name of our Fort.

PS-In real life, I'm a Navy Aircrewmen. But my job is not quite as exciting as flying and fighting in a B-17.

Looks like our crew doesn't show up at the plane at the same time.

I had suggested earlier, Nattering Nabobs of Napalm. but I am quite OK with The Keg or The Kegger. Maybe the Dynamite Keg. Captain keg can make the call.

Or.... Nein, Mein Freulein.... works in our plane number, and conveys a negative sentiment towards a german.

Perhaps someone could make a naked chick superimposed over a face of Hitler so that his mustache is her mustache "down below".

Or perhaps something that you guys think of, which would undoubtedly be much better.

Don't want to name the plane after me. :shake:

Some cool names, but none of them hit me as "the one", yet. I'll keep thinking, and you guys keep the ideas coming.

:clap:

I like that one myself ...

MM
~~ROFL

I guess I could live with the Kegger if everybody else can. I'm not much for graphic artistry, so someone a little more adept would need to come up with the nose art. I do like the "I'd tap that" idea. :thumb:

I'll see if I can find something, might help if people can search for pictures they want to use, because thats what takes up the most time.

While you guys are painting the nose, I'll be at the radio post, with my headphones on, listening to some tunes.....err maintaining contact with central command.



My gun shoots straight up!

We got art ...

MM
~~:)

I LIKE IT!
 

I'll tap it....the keg I mean...! :drool:

Nicely done, Mark.

Thank the graphic designer here at work -- I couldn't figure out how to get the two images together.

He showed me a trick in Photoshop that'll come in oh-so-handy around this place.

Hehehehehe ...

MM
~~:evil:

Uhm, yeah. Uhh, you might, ehh, want to talk to those guys on plane #3, the Dreamsicle. They're into "that sort of thing".

Well done men!

Now, lets go drop some ordinance!

Not a scratch, not a wasted bullet. Bombs got wasted, though.

I'm too sexy for my shirt. Too sexy for my shirt.Right about now I'm wishing I hadn't just sung "I'm too sexy for my shirt"What do you expect when your bombardier is eternally wasted....

Walk in the Park!

It would have been nice to hit something of Hitler's, instead of plowing some farmers field - but, "Wait 'till next time" (the rallying cry of all but 1 team in the NFL).

Nice flying Capt. keg. The raido room will be playing "Sky Pilot" and "Radar Love" throughout the next mission.

Forgive my ignorance, Did First Down Elvis achieve all his posts under a different name? I cannot place him.

and...

Coogs and Mark M. Jeesh. Not in the workplace, please guys. Especially not in the bomb bay.... or I'll have to play It's Rainin' Men over the radio.

Mission 1 was just a milk run for crew 9

I guess I should have said the "BEER" keg! :doh!:


Here's to making it through our first mission! :BLVD:

stevieray

Hey now, don't get me involved in this.

Isn't there a "Don't ask, don't tell" policy?

Besides, I'm the bongadier, so I cannot be held accountable for my actions ...

MM
~~:shake:

I don't want to hear what you may or may not have, uhm, "inhaled" while in a naked embrace with Coogs. :shake:

The abuse I put up with around here ...
 

Ya know, just because I'm thin and neat (although not single) doesn't mean I swing that way.

Although there was that one time at band camp ...

MM
~~;)

Hey, you're the one who said "Besides, I'm the bongadier, so I cannot be held accountable for my actions ...". Sounds to me like you had a ready-made excuse for some homo-erotic 'bUngadier" action.

Hmm…no intercom, no radio, no navigation system…it must’ve been a quiet trip back except for the shooting and some low moans from the radio room. (No, not that, either. Get your minds out of the gutter.)

The plane's shot up like swiss cheese, we all survived and Mark M. hit a target -- an ENEMY target to boot!

I hope we didn't just use up all our luck....

ROFL

I have no idea what ... ohh, look! That one guy has those new candy things ... N&Ms I think he calls them ...

MM
~~:)

Luck shmuck ... it was all ... ohhh, look! A shiny object ...

MM
~~:spock:

Owww.....owwww....oooowwww.

My head hurts.


Time to practice some new comb over techniques.

Was my injury due to enemy fire or repeated dope slapping?

You had a little battle within a battle, zeb. They broke your radio, so you shot them, so they shot you back. It sounds like the beginning of a grudge match with some German pilot.

Heard you guys had it pretty hard in the last mission, lost most of the crew. My brother died on Gunther's Thunder and I don't plan on adding to the casualty list. I'm the new navigator. I'll get you pointed towards the Raider...err Nazi strongholds so we can drop our bombs on the bastiges.

Holy cow. You and your brother could be twins.

He's older than me by 69 seconds.

Bombardier reporting in.Hopefully i can live up to Mark's
20% bombing accuracy.

I'd just like to offer up a toast to the original Kegger and it's crew.

Is it possible for you to plot a course where we don't have to cross the Channel on the way home?

If you hear some watery gargley noises on the radio system, that's me - haunting you guys flying my old plane's namesake. Keep an eye on Keg - he tried to fly that bird like a fighter last time - doing rolls.

You bunch of worthless, ungrateful, no-count bastards!

You'd all be dead if it wasn't for my piloting skills......

But wait.....


I am dead...


gurgle gurgle gurgle




BOO!

Not unless you want to fly around the world. My guess is we don't quite have enough fuel.

I am bringing my rubber duckie...just in case.

Careful what you ask for, airman. We sure didn't "cross the Channel" on our last trip. Not for lack of trying.

Not too bad a job for a mostly new crew. We came back mostly intact.

Okay, I was nowhere near the bomb bay ... how in the hell you explain this one, keg? Huh?

How do you ... ohhhhh, look! Those new candies! What are those called again? N&Hs?

MM
~~:bong:

candy's dandy but liquor is quicker. let's see if we can go catch some birds in picadilly. if you think i'm talking about the feathered kind, think again.
