DEMENTED DRAFTSMAN DIVULGES DERANGED DESIGN

AP Seattle, WA June 13, 2006 7:00 a.m.

The aeronautical world was shocked today by a new aircraft design revealed today by a beefy Seattle resident who would only give his name as �Nik�.

The new airplane is said to have a new flexible fuselage to allow easier parking in hangers. The construction material of the dubious airplane is said to be �Log�.

When reporters asked �Nik� about the inspiration for the design, he said the inspiration had struck him �during the act of punting�, but refused to elaborate. Several observers claimed they saw parallel marks on his arms resembling cat scratches which brought to mind the peculiar design of the airplane.

An FAA spokesman declined official comment after seeing the prototype, but was seen shaking his head sadly as he departed the hanger.

Proponents of this design beleive that it will greatly reduce the effect of flak...

A fairly reasonable prediction, as flak is somewhat ineffective against planes on the ground....and that one will always be on the ground.

That is why I am going to put screens over all the plumbing vents. (When I get the nerve to go up on the roof. I don't like heights.

They (snakes and also rats) can also swim up through the sanitary sewers. i guess its possible for them to come through the septic tank as well, although i don't know how they could get into the septic tank...

I have read allusions to it. Unfortunately, I missed it. I think it would have been right up my alley.

it was a lot of fun - i thought the funniest stuff was the murder investigation with Nik (when Elmer Fudd was his avatar) was under investigation for the murder of "the rabbit".

BTW - does anyone here know where LargeSlowTarget calls home?... i don't believe it is in the US, but i am not sure where it is.

Across the Thread there seems to be an outbreak of kindness and everyone seems to be in good humor...what gives?

I even thought I saw Ron being funny the other day.

i was trying to look up if Luxembourg ever did invade Denmark, and ran across this:

"The second Norwegian campaign. Three columns from Dalsland, V�rmland and J�mt�land attack Norway. Included in the Royal court in the field is among other things a court orchestra under the direction of Johan Jacob Bach (the brother of Johan Sebastian), a court jester, the midget Luxemburg and a number of Turkish belly dancers."

i suspect fabertong was in charge...

Dalsland, V�rmland and J�mtland are in Sweden, you know...

A sure-fire way to get on a Dane's bad side is to mistake him for a Swede, and vice-versa.
