Nick me lad! It is legal....not compulsory! Don't be in too big a rush to get in touch with your other side. I always wondered if Teetotaling was bad for you...now I know! The thought of a Cobra pilot....in fishnets and a teddy....just doesn't seem to square with my recollections of what gunnies seemed to be.

Maybe that macho manly stuff was just a facade?

Nick,

The thought of Nicole Kidman WAS too much, but I think you've just turned my dreams into nightmares. Swinging from the Trapeze in Moulin Rouge in a moustache and flight suit. Hmmm.

Mind you, Ms Kidman at the controls of a Commanche... well

In truth, I have hardly enough personality for one person.

What does a helicopter pilot use for birth control?

His personality.

Nick,

"In truth, I have hardly enough personality for one person."

In the end, there can be only one......... (The Highlander-I think)

Robbo Jock

Thank you for that brief but frightening glimpse into the mind of a man who has become all too comfortable with flicker vertigo induced altered states.

My God man, how will I ever lust after Ms. Kidman again?

Nick

Your are indeed perceptive. Yes, I will always lust after [the real] Nichole Kidman. That is because she is Australian and not British. Australian women are a lusty bunch whereas British women take to sex like a duck takes to golf.

Having said that, I am amazed at the interest in this thread. I expected at most 10 views and perhaps one or two replies but I guess the name "Nick Lappos" in the title generates widespread interest. I am thinking you should start your own "Nick Lappos" line of signature flight apparel.

Of course I should expect nothing less from the only man to have verified PIOOMA VDR by the solution of an aperiodic asymetric matrix representation of the Chebysehev function over an unbounded interval using the Prandlt-Glauert technique. Not even that Grand Old Gentleman Lu Zuckerman has done that!

"Uh, Valdez here. We've come up hard aground and....we're evidently leaking some oil.....and it looks like we're going to be here for awhile"--Captain Joe Hazelwood March 24, 1989

If the VDR refers to a Video Disc Recorder, the PIOOMA VDR was truly a very difficult exercise.......

But I do believe the PIOOMA theory and all its associated complex formulae can truly explain what happened to the 18 degrees.

Mr Lee, I'm amazed you're amazed. Of course Nick's name stirs interest. I don't know how old you are, but have you heard of those T-shirts people used to wear in the 60s that said 'Clapton is God'? I used to see people around airfields wearing T-shirts that read 'Lappos is Clapton'.

Diethelm

Extension of the theory to Video Disc Players is a bold move indeed and further evidence of Mr. Lappos considerable intellectial prowress. Although I am not an elitist, clerisy in the case of Mr. Lappos might be warranted.

Hilico

You go too far sir! God is Clapton. Clapton is Lappos. God is Lappos? Surely you must have heard that Captain Shawn Coyle is the one true Demi-God of flight test! I am agog at your impertinence!

Mr Lee

You started it! The thread I mean. If you want comments about Shawn Coyle, start a thread about him and see what you get.

Now, prayer mat facing 263 True...

A true test for those who are feeling particularly God-like:

Place your hand into a bucket of water. Remove your hand. If a hole is left, you are God-like. All others get used to mortality!

For severe cases of God-likeliness, I recommend a toilet bowl as the water source.

Nick,

Okay, I wasn't raised on a farm.....toilet bowls already have holes!

Hilico,

Your devotion to Nick Lappos is admirable. I am aware that he is held in high esteem in this forum i general and by you in particular.

I know also that there is a fertility sect (I hesitate to say 'cult') comprised of Swedish virgins for whom Nick is the center of the universe. I have even heard that he has demonstrated his God-like powers by using a "hole" technique not related to toilet bowls much to the delight of these lithe, blonde female devotees. Yes they have a T-shirt with Nick's image (much like the Turin Shroud) but suprisingly, they have not heard of Mr. Clapton or Layla. These Swedish nymphs even have an Islamic type Haj where they rotate three (or more) times around what they refer to as Nicks pole. I assume 'pole' refers to a compass-like direction and that is the reason for the direction in which you point your prayer mat.

Captain Shawn Coyle, the one true Demi-God of Flight Test, has a similar sect located somewhere in Somalia.

Perhaps I will start that thread and settle this once and for all. Who is the One True Demi-God of Flight Test?

I think I started the "Shawn is a Demi-God" sect.

So, it has to be Shawn, if he can handle the promotion.

The Nr Fairy "I think I started the "Shawn is a Demi-God" sect."

Thank goodness it was you. Some had said a "Queen" (is Canada still a part of the motherland?) annoited him while others insisted it was nothing less than the combined 'forces of evil'.

I have even received one private EM claiming that this is a Father, Son and Holy Ghost affair with Lappos, Coyle and Zuckerman in their rightful places. Come on, Lu as the Holy Ghost? Perhaps there was no orderly one-to-one association implied and Lu is the Father. And where does that leave Frank Robinson-father of the R series aircraft or Dean Borgman-reported father of the Apache who built a factory on the remains of the Anazasi Native American burial grounds?

Another private EM (not Hilico) claimed I had not earned the right to even utter the name of Nick Lappos and compared me to an infidele defiler who should drown in a lake of my own vomit (I found that one enduring).

To all who have written privately to me I say come forward and make a stand in the light of your peers! I am reminded, for no particular reason other than I have a moment or two on my hands, of a story that Mad Dog Mike Benthall told me in Borneo about the Gurka. He told me that the wiry little Gurka's were so tough that in World War II when a Gurka unit was first asked to volunteer for paratroop service, their troubled sergeant asked the British advisor if the planes could drop the men from a lower height to lessen the risk of injuries. The Britisher then hastily explained that each man would have a parachute. Mad Dog Mike, as he was fond of repeatedly reminding me, commanded a Gurka unit. He was also the British Officer who reportedly promoted Idi Amin to Sergeant and thereby was inadvertantly responsible for the whole Entebbe thing a few years later. Mad Dog Mike, when in the cups, which was often, was fond of quoting one Lady Astor who said "I believe one should not interfere with two consenting adults in the act of intercourse--as long as it doesn't frighten the horses". He found this terribly amusing in a British sort of way, although it rarely, if ever, applied to the subject of discussion. What were we discussing?

Oh Hillico - you must have surely looked up 'Rich Lee' on google by now?

Me - I'm just vaguely embarrassed by the fact that I can post to these people but can't think of a question clever enough to ask.

BTW- I had that John Farley in the back of the cab once - well, he once mentioned me in a thread. If only OASC hadn't rejected me... sigh.

Gizza job?

While surfing the google for Rich Lee (and there are many), I believe I saw the image of the Kurdish Malak Ta'us, the peacock angel, God's alter ego, who filled seven huge jars with tears in 7,000 years by which the flames of hell were extinguished....if so, for me hell is no more. This is all the more significant in that I was not chewing qat, that mildly narcotic leaf that is as much a social institution among the Kurds as Red Man chewing tobacco is in Alabama.

As I await the next post in this thread, I am reminded that there are people who feel differently about the opinions of Lappos or Zuckerman, Coyle Smoketoomuch, Hilico or the Marx Brothers...as for myself, I have learned something from each of them. I respect anyone who has an opinion on this forum, regardless of background. Nothing I say is out of malice and while my sense of humor (or lack thereof) may not be to everyone's taste-it is only humor.

Thumbs up Nick Lappos

I reckon Nick should start a religon. I mean, it would be way better than current religons.
