I can't believe I read this far down the thread...tangoman you fucking stole 5 minutes of my life and somehow tricked me into reading the life story of someone who I don't really care about all that much...
To save anyone else the trouble, here is the condensed version, starting after this thread STOPPED having anything to do with aviation.
Tangoman (TM): "Let me tell you a little about myself for no reason. I do lots of less-than-manly things."
AW Regulars: "STFU and stop telling us these things."
TM: "You are making fun of me? Allow me to rebut with several MORE less-than-manly things about me."
AW Regulars: "Seriously...stop."
TM: "You want me to stop? Allow me to win you over by switching tracks and telling you how ultra-manly I am."
AW Regulars: "Arrrgh, please. Stop."
TM: "Yeah? Well dance kicks ass. There, I said it."
AM Regulars: "No more...you win...I concede."
TM: "Did I mention I like Heavy Metal and guns too? Do you like me now???"
AM Regulars: *Unplugs computer from wall*
