The quality of the pilot is much more important than the quality
of the fighter. The nature of the engagement is also more important
than the quality of the fighter. It may well make sense to say that
one fighter is better than another, but quantifying it with
expected loss ratios is pointless.

Sticky gets very upset if he's not the one to initiate the flame fests. He
feels it's his solemn responsibility and obligation.

Who me?
I don't even try.
I'm more likely to throw a bucket of sand on some of these flare-ups.
But don't feel personally offended.
You're not singled out.

It's being advertised all over the place at prices
that even a young adolescent can afford, to impress
his current infatuation.
And there's even a competing product
