what they used to be...."

This morning I was going to post a caption "All I wanted was a new paint job for my plane" because it is similar to an actual event.

I was going to post "Talking 'bout metal fatigue..."

Thanks for the win, John, in a strong round fired by a well-chosen picture. I will post something later this evening European time.

Had I looked at the thread soon enough, I would have hauled out the old classic "I just flew in from Seattle. Boy are my wings tired!" ba-dum-cha!

I think Oliver really needs a good campaign slogan. Can we help him?


Freie Wählergemeinschaft: Association of Independent Voters
Das Los: can mean a lottery ticket or the lot cast to make a decision
lösen: can mean to remove or dissolve

He needs to add a middle name "Not the"...

Hello, from Albany, CA!...

Two days are up, so here are the results. Thanks for playing.

3rd place: Mr Grenade with: He needs to add a middle name "Not the"...

(Nöthe is a real German name so this would work in German too)

2nd place: John McLeod VII: My brother owns Wilt's flower shop.

(because it made me laugh most - with a slogan talent like this, perhaps we can hope that John will contribute to any future Anthony Weiner campaign)

1st place: rob smith: Every one is a winner with Loser

(this responded best to the request for a helpful slogan and, playing on the meaning of Das Los, would also work in German)

PM on its way.

Thanks Michael.
I will post something when I get in from work tomorrow, so in the meantime ponder the following picture of next door's white cat in a white out













(oh, its got its eyes shut, and is not looking this way...)

If Dali was responsible,
We can only say,
