I do love those little Fokkers

The cool breeze from my open window right now is very nice and refreshing.

Didn't the Nazis develop those airplanes? They probably just named them that to further annoy everybody...they did tend to be QUITE annoying...Sylkat :?

Fokker was a Dutch aircraft manufacturer, certainly not started by Nazis. Anthony Fokker was an aviation pioneer and put his last name to the company

Thank you, Vigilans; I had thought that those were the planes of choice for the Luftwaffe; (MAJOR spelling guesswork!)...Sylkat

Its possible you mistook "Fokker" for the "Focke-Wulf" series of planes (well, the "Focke" part :P) which actually was a plane of choice of the Luftwaffe. Focke sounds a bit like Fokker when you say it

It really gets on my nerves when writers use big words that nobody ever, ever uses in conversation. If I have to look up the definition of the word "peregrination," then stick that sh*t back in the oven, because it's not done yet.

I know! I become discombobulated when I espy sesquipedalian and arcane words during my literary peregrinations.

Reminds me of Kingpin.

I love this exchange from the movie Kinsey...

"How old were you when you first engaged in sexual activity with a partner?"

"14."

"How?"

"With horse."

(stunned) "And... how often were you having intercourse with animals at age 14?"

"It's true! I f*cked a pony. You're a genius. How did you know?"

"You just said you had sex with a horse."

"No, whores. Not horse, whores."
