View Full Version : Ain't Hollywood wonderful?

November 1st 03, 03:14 AM
When we were stationed at Florennes Belgium a bunch of officers showed up one
day. They were a strange lookign lot. Kind of pudgy and out of shape
looking.Didn't look very military at all. In discussions they didn't seem to
know much about military flying but had higher rank than most of us; caprtains
and majors and even a Lt.Col. They wore no wings and had no battle stars or
decorations of any kind. Who the hell were they? Well it turned out that they
were JAG officers; Judge advocate General's Office. They were military lawyers.
All of which is ok. After all they we e lawyers not soldiers or flying
personelle. All that is fine., But recently I watched an episode of JAG on TV.
These guys and woman were all highly decorated. The lead even wore naval
aviators wings. Everyone was covered with ribbons and rank and they looked to
be in first class physical condition. And all very good looking. I think back
to those JAG officers in WWII, the pudgy brigade and compare them to those in
the TV series. Ain't Hollywood wonderful? (grin)

I'm also unable to determine the IP address Bill (I'm using the
free version of Agent newsreader) but for the reasons given, I'm
convinced that "Autocollimator" = Art Kramer.

If you had been following Kramer's "40,000 Plus Hits. Thank you all"

Just read it. Not convinced by your argument. Why would Art do that?

Think what you like, John, but I think that I have clearly explained
why Kramer would do that and I'm not going to waste my time trying
to convince you of anything.

Hiding behind your chicken**** "Autocollimator" alias is another
alternate way of playing chess. Speaking of Mr. "Autocollimator,"
since I made the connection between you and him, curious
how "Autocollimator" suddenly stopped posting, no?

Get real, Kramer. You played the game, and you lost the game.

He is a bore especially when he brags about his "flying" experience and skills
as a pilot. I think maybe guilt over the fact that he never got into military
flying may be behind a lot of his bad behavior. Just a guess of course. I'd
plonk him but he is fun to watch. (grin)

If exposing you for what you are (e.g: a self-aggrandizing,
schizophrenic, bald-faced lying coward) is "bad behavior,"
then so be it.

I'd plonk you and your "Autocollimator" twin if it weren't so much fun
to watch.

Take a look in a mirror, you have got to be the most objectionable

I come back here for the first time in months hoping, but not expecting,
that the newsgroup won't be full of **** like this.

Screw it. I've had enough and wild horses couldn't drag me back here.

Feel free to post all manner of good riddance replies, but I won't see
them.

While I understand the 'plonk" sentiment, Mike is not a
Tarver clone.
Poison Ivy and flat beer are also both annoying but no cloning
involved.
All are just alternate examples of the universe's infinite perversity.
