Oh boy, has this thread been derailed to pieces or what...

Quite right. Could the topic now return to the rotten vegetables Hesperus shot at the Sidewinder, please?

Cor, our very own thread.

Well, that's the puns stitched up then

Actually, it should be "Caw, our very own thread" if I'm to stay true to my avatar.

I never pre-order or -ciate. I do fear the worst though

Sanity? We lost our sanitary when Wyvern was talking about calling Ralph on the porcelain phone....

Not up to my usual standard, I must admit.

So if someone sets a tough measure to meet in their balance competition, do you have to meet their stand-hard?

ooogghhh

You think that's awful?

There's an evasion maneuver I use, a hard yaw/dive/roll combo on injectors. It puts a strange degree of g forces upon a body, described by my co-pilot as a ride on a roller coaster of hell. She dubbed it the Barf Bag Break(tm).

I have one like that.

I call it docking(tm).

Docking? You mean Decking? Throwing yourself to the deck..?
I do that occasionally, but if you look on eywtkaticawata, Imperial Couriers have a g-force protected cabin, so I'm safe. But it gets a little shaky sometimes - once I got a trumble splat on my wall...

No, I'm one of the few who has mastered the 'hand-brake dock'.

Well, I say 'mastered', but it's more 'done it so often it looks deceptively simple'. In actuality, most space stations go into Red Alert (changing the bulb in the sign) when my ship ident comes into the docking queue.

Hand-brake dock? Should I tell you that that is illegal? You can be shot down on sight for that? The station might just launch a few vipers right as you are on final approach?

I've heard it all before.

Doesn't stop me doing it though.....

Well, I guess I should have known who I was talking to...
We've managed to derail a thread, get a thread of our own, derail that, then change the subject again... Wow. I'm impressed.
