When did you first become interested in Warbirds? - Page 7 - Aircraft of World War II

My humble compy's abode...

I'm going to upgrade the printer, RAM, and possibly processor soon...

The internals are ok, the case is due to the fact that my mom didn't want to spring for anything more expensive than the basic (that one, it was $30) as she didn't see any real advantages with a more expensive case...

I think he was referring to my Desktop.... And yes its a B-17 with a huge flak hole in the side......

Nonskimmer · 01-01-2005, 01:51 PM

Yeah, I just reread the whole page.

Still a bit foggy from the booze.

Hey, I also noticed your 'crossing the line' certificate. All we get in the Canadian Navy is a wallet sized card!

lesofprimus · 01-01-2005, 02:21 PM

Did u guys get humiliated and filthy and beat upon too?????

Its called The Shellback Initiation...... Thank God u only have to do it once......

Nonskimmer · 01-01-2005, 02:39 PM

Yeah they take you onto the upper decks, strip you down to your shorts, make you eat some God awful concoction out of a big wash basin and then dunk you in it, make you "kiss the cod" (big smelly fish that's been rotting in the sun!), throw assorted crap all over you, and make you down some "pusser rum".

It all takes place in the presence of "King Neptune", who's usually the Cox'n (I think you guys call him the Master at Arms). Everyone is in goofy home-made costumes. It's a lot of fun!

At the end of it, you get your card. I'll try to get a pic of it up some time, if I ever get the camera out of the shop. It's not much to see.

lesofprimus · 01-01-2005, 03:19 PM

I just hot done watching a show about The Pumpkin Regatta in Nova Scotia............. Funny watching those people tip over in em....

Yea ours is basically the same... King Neptune is the Fattest Shellback on board ship...... They make u eat a cherry outta his big fat hairy belly button....
