Opus

I've been burned too many times by bad Batman movies. I think I'll wait for this one to come on cable.

When you see a bunch of bids from the same bidder in a row it doesn't mean they're uncontested, it means they failed to out bid the previous bidder so the kept bidding in small increments. A commonly noobish act.

Is it even possible to have 12 habitable planets in one system?

I seem to remember a scene in the mini where they talk about how many Mk II are flyable and that they were downgrading the Mk VIIs electronics but I don't think they gave any numbers.

If the Macross had missed the Earth WW3 would have kept going until the entire planet was a glass-bottomed,glow-in-the-dark, parking lot. I was always under the impression that the alien threat is what made the world's nations pull thier collective heads out of thier asses and unify. I can't remember if that's Macross or Robotech or both and I havn't seen Zero so I probably have no idea what I'm talking about.

Depends on the dog. my german sheapard is so spoiled she wouldn't care about any intruders. Only thing she will protect is deer meat like when a deer bodie beaches up on the shore. Okay, as a general rule the breed has strong defensive urges. These can be over-ridden by raising them the right/wrong way. Just like any smat breed, you have to stay on thier asses 24/7 when they're pups or they'll be uncontrollable. I had a friend who got a shepard and didn't do anything with it so it grew up to be a whiney spazz. That dog could have made Mr. Spock loose his temper.

That's a good point... damn... I was gonna say how consistant that is with another of Adama's decision, but I don't think that part aired in the US yet... I'm kinda confused of the timeline because I've been rewatching certain episodes out of order. But what good are pilots with no Vipers or fuel? It's a tough choice to make.

You should check out this page for some real world battle damage: http://s96920072.onlinehome.us/Stories1/00...e/story0016.htm heres a nice pic of the VFs innards.

The real world military will go to great extentss for a downed pilot but they basically have unlimited resources so I'm not sure what they would do in the Galactica's situation. The thing that bugged me was Col. Tigh complaining to the President after he was relieved. To an ex-GI I see that as a blatant disregard for the chain of command which is an absolute no-no.

Poodles are supposed to be good for people with allergies. They don't shed. People laugh when you say poodle because they think of yappy little toy poodles but the standard poodle is a 50 to 70 lb. dog. Not a sheppard but definately enough to make a crook think twice.

The best way to keep crackheads out of your house is to get a big ass dog. When they hear the barking they'll split. Personally I have a doberman, rotwiler, spitz mix and if she doesn't know you you're dead meat.

I've still got a Hikaru 1A. The pics and description are here: http://www.macrossworld.com/mwf/index.php?showtopic=13046

Necrobestialbuttsex is also doable. That doesn't mean it should be done.

I still have mine.

I've been a big fan of these mechs since the Revell Robotech days. I've seen the series, it's pretty awesome. I think if you like Macross or Votoms you'll like Dougram. They all have that real-esque military vibe. The anime has never been dubbed or subbed in English. I believe it was dubbed into Spanish . It might have been Portugese, I can't remember.

That's pretty rad. My first reaction from the pics was that it seemed kinda Aztec-ish. I wouldn't be surprised if there was some connection between ancient Asian cultures and pre-columbian South America.

Something else you should look into is California's laws regading home invasion and self defese. Here in VA the person has to be in your house and you have to prove that you had no way to escape but in Texas you can shoot someone for trying tring to steal your car.

I wouldn't trust A1 with my women or my doorknobs.

The best place to find state laws is the state police or attorney general's sites. http://ag.ca.gov/firearms/forms/index.html If you friend is so weak she can't cycle an auto a shotgun would tear her arm off. I'd say a gun is not for her. Get her a nice nice big cannister of CS instead.

My 1A is still up for grabs. http://www.macrossworld.com/mwf/index.php?showtopic=13046

I think A1 and myself may turn out to be mortal enemies.

If you read the description hes not claiming its a Diaclone but hes hypothesizing its Bandai copyright with non Macross packaging to that of the Diaclone/transformers relationship.

Dang! that blowed up real nice.

I think the 109s 20mm guns would utterly destroy the F4U. The Me262s combo of speed, high altitude and 20mm cannons would have given the Corsair a snowballs chance in hell. The ability to mount cannons is also what made the P-38 so sucessful. Manuverability isn't quite as important when it only takes 1 or 2 hits to tear your enemies wings off. That's all assuming the pilots are of equal ability. It was attrition that won WWII not superior technology. The military channel, formerly discovery: Wings runs a series of versus shows that are pretty cool. I've seen Spitfire vs. 109 and MiG-5 vs. F-86 so far.

Sounds like a job for one of our re-casters. I wouldn't mind having an extra for my non-FP valks.
