I'm more apt to bet on a horse than ride one, but I have seen some really nice ones in my travels inworld. This bunch on a group horse outing could be an escapade worthy of "F Troop". Me, I prefer my cavalry mounts to be of a more modern vintage.

You could always lead us (the troupes) from the air. We'll follow the smoke swirls. Since the horses are attachments, we could even fly up and form a 'V'.

Just think, if a group outing for this bunch does not (as is likely) distintegrate into utter lunacy, perhaps we could come up with some precision riding act like they do with Lippizaners or the Mountie musical ride in Canada.

It'll be an equestrian ballet that will attract people from near and far to gape and wonder at the grace and talent displayed by the Cartel Riders Aboard Ponies. We could charge admission, even, to pay tier on the Cartel land.

Then again, we could just stick to bouncing the horses off the trampoline downstairs. That's fun, too.

The big problem with that logic is that the outings start off with utter lunacy and slips farther askew as it progresses.

Talk about a Dog and Pony Show. I can hear the sounds of the hooves as they go "Clique, Clique, Clique...."

I bought one of the USA WWII planes yesterday. Not the easiest thing to fly, though I did manage to do several circuits and several touch and goes.

You weren't there for the infamous CARP outing, were you? Man, did that one go downhill fast! Don't get me wrong, it was still a LOT of fun, but total chaos.

ah, you should have embraced your inner Old World and got yourself a Spitfire. Piss easy to fly.

The map of Europe was different when the family came over. Even so, I'd have to have bought the German one to follow that logic. Not that I saw one for sale where I got the American one (had USA, British and Japanese planes for WWII, and some biplanes for WWI that I didn't look closely at).

Oh, and another reason not to get the Spitfire. I really don't want to drink lots and lots of liquids so I can piss fly the plane.

*resists making the "Those Fokkers were flying Messerschmidts" joke*

I thought I saw a German plane when I was there, but I could be wrong about that. I'll have to go back. I can see myself building a whole fleet. Maybe reenacting the Battle of Britain over the Hangout. Better yet, the Battle of Britain with Zeroes as well. Who needs historical accuracy when you can just add more planes.

Those must have been the Zeroes with the drop tanks.

But it has to be my hair. Loved it so much went back to Calla and bought the whole package of 175 colours for 3000LD and still love it.

All my Ingenue clothes and hair.

And now my home. It's like an English cottage with a lawn, pond, greenhouse, workshop even a vegtable patch.

Oh and my friends but they already know that.

Oh, I got mine at that "famous" airport. Abbotts I believe it is called. I have no idea where you and Max got your planes from.

Hmmm, "Would you offer your throat to the wolf with a red rose?"
Can not for the life of me remember the name.

Googled or not, that was the song. I went to Meatloaf's "StoryTeller's" concert some years ago and was chosen to go on stage and do that dialogue with him.

Great fun!!!
