That's because your phone's IP is not in the Ban List and your PC's is, Moinji.

Just realized that I haven't even shared the pic of my blades until now, let alone the face behind them !! :oops:

So, here are a few tools of mine:

And here's me(ofcourse, some time back!):

Actually, much worse has happened with me!! :mrgreen: :mrgreen:

On a serious note, I haven't had any kind of professional training, but, I manage to do a pretty clean Arm Switch with not-bad speed(read 20 times slower than Bruce Lee).

Aloha,

I'm on Hunt101.com under the same name.

All of the photos I post anywhere are there.

Guns, dogs, plants, anything and everything, silly or otherwise.

Don't really want to start another photo hosting site account.

Could I e mail it to an Admin and he post it?

Hi Yogi bear, are the life guards in Hawaii really as pretty as shown in " Baywatch-Hawaii" :mrgreen: Worthwhile jumping in the sea even If one can't swim :mrgreen: :mrgreen:

Then it's worth jumping in ONLY if you can't swim!! What on earth will a lifeguard do if you can swim, eh? With my luck, I'll probably get a junior Schwarzenegger instead of Pamela!!
Cheers!

XL, that Mustang seems to have a history - 4 Japanese kills, did I read that right?? And you look ready to take on the entire fleet of Kamikazes!
Esdee,
That Mustang is not operational. It is setup by the Minnesota Air National Guard (MNANG) for photographs. It is usually brought to air shows for that purpose. So I think that the kill flags are just fiction as are the bullet holes.
My my, this must be a very old pic, have seen your wonderful posts lately and you look much older and wiser now with all the grey hair.

What's with the XL call sign You must be at max size medium, XL would be understandable if it was some one like Hammerheadpaji.
It was taken about five years ago or so. My hair has grayed considerably since I joined IFG. You guys have aged me. :). Actually, I found my first gray hair right after college.

I used to be very heavily into combat flight sims for about ten years and the first (virtual) squadron that I joined was called Extreme League (or XL for short). As a newbie, I got shot down a lot, hence the name Target. My call sign then was XL_Target. Since then I was in several other squadrons but I have since just continued to use that call sign in most of the forums that I have signed up on.

Here I am in Me-109 Number 9 on a mission against another squadron.
Points (at the end) are 100 points for each single engine aircraft downed.

Aloha,

Some of you are victims of too much TV.

AFAIK, the women lifeguards can easily beat down a lot of guys.

If you can pass the test to be a Lifeguard here on Oahu, you're Damn Great water person.

Right now we are having surf in the 30 feet range.

We have tourists that know Nothing about ocean safety and are contantly in Need of rescue when waves

breaking on the shore suck them into the Very Rough ocean.

If you come and the LifeGuards tell you Stay Out, they mean it.

If you don't see locals in the surf, it's Smart to do as they do and just Watch the Pro Surfers.

In my younger days, 30 years ago, I have been known to venture out in Storm surf at Waikiki.

But NEVER the N Shore. Big difference in strength of breaking waves in the 2 locations.

Never played any of the strategy type games. The close combat series is/was a strategy type game. IL2-Sturmovik and its developments, which I played, is a First Person Shooter (FPS- with advanced physics) type of game. Even though the video only shows outside views, you actually fly from inside a cockpit.

Xl, Somehow the guys playing video games are always associated with AirSoft and Paint Ball guns not firing those hand held BANG BANG cannons that you fire :mrgreen:

Very interesting how you got your call sign :D And that's why you find the Bomber Jacket of more value than the super Gerber Boot Knife that you have :mrgreen: Thanks for sharing.... :mrgreen:

Lollzz, yes victims of too much TV. It's Valium for the masses YogiBear :mrgreen: Wow, 30 Feet high waves, that's like a 3 floor high building, I have no such suicidal tendencies Yogi, just the thought of being rescued by those pretty life guards seemed tempting. :mrgreen:

Would love to see some pics, of the 30 feet high waves I mean, not the Pretty lifeguards :mrgreen: :mrgreen:
