Emoticon problems

[MikeD]

Mike,
Get the hell outta here, us aviation enthusists have better things to discuss.

If you wish to discuss aviation topics, JP.net has an excellent aviation discussion forum, and you can discuss aviation to your hearts content with me MikeD, as your host and aviation consultant.

However, this thread is dedicated to the scourge of the emoticon; the death of original thought, and the utter lack of respect for the essence of peace everlasting on this forum, and the purity of life. The posters on this forum need to relax on a good shot of grain alchohol and pure rainwater.

Do you know why I drink pure rainwater?

Has anyone heard of the flouridation of water and the conspiracy behind it?

But I digress.....

And as always.....

Thank you for your continued support.

Perhaps Avators with no link to aviation are inappropriate.

For the record, sir, could you please provide examples of avtars with no link to aviation?

We at JP.net value your input and questions.

Thank you for your continued support.

Remember, never sh!t where you eat.

Why would one want to do that?

Joe,

I bet hes teaching out of past experience.

I see. Excellent examples, sir. And thank you for bringing these items to our attention for further evaluation and possible enforcement action.

Your contributions are very much appreciated.

And thank you for your continued support.

Its just an avtar, its suposed to express ones personality, not thier favorite airline.

I luvs my Kenny Avatar... LUUUUVS ME CAAANNNNYYY!

But not much enough to let him express anything about my personality. I ain't like them rats like they like him.

General Ripper would like to know if you're really a Southwest Airlines 737 Captain. He fancies that you are not, nor do you have any flight experience.

Your emoticon is therefore a lie, yet well worthy of A.net quality.

But as always......

We thank you for your continued support.

I guess Alan Partridge is OK then.

Doesn't Commander Jack D. Ripper look like George W. Bush in that picture?

You mean that isn't Dubya?!?

[Greg]

Oh no it's not Dubya it's:

General Jack D. Ripper, Commander, 843rd Bomb Wing, Burpleson AFB, Maine, Strategic Air Command, United States Air Force

A very important man.

Hey Mike, quick question.....

:P :P

Does that bug you??

Yes. Alan Partridge is a welcome avatar to the JP.net forums.

Jack D. Ripper is, correctly, a General of the United States Air Force, versus a Commander. Please note.

And thanky you for your continued support

I must inform you that it is men like General Ripper that provide you the freedom you so take for granted; the freedom to make posts full of useless content and add emoticons to them; to be able to take photos of parked planes, airborne planes, planes being worked on, dead planes, seaplanes, etc. Men like General Ripper have made up for those Parlor Talkers like yourself in the masses that haven't the time, training, ability, or inclination for strategic thought, and therefore, haven't the first clue of the importance of drinking only grain alchohol and rainwater; prevailing in peace and the freedom from fear, and in true health; therefore protecting the lifeblood of our essence, our precious bodily fluids.

Jeez......I guess I should take down all the stuff on my wall that I got when I RETIRED from the U.S. Navy, and listen to you whine about some OLD Air Force General.....

Oh no it's not Dubya it's:

General Jack D Ripper has done much more in the world of aviation than snap a few pictures.

His efforts at defending this great nation, and preserving your constitutuonal rights, is why you may post today.

But even though you've never had the cajones to partake in the art of combat for this great nation.......

We still thank you for your continued support
