I have a sudden urge to fire up IL-2 Forgotten Battles, jump into a Yak and go shoot down some Stuka's.

Id take a hurricane and shoot down some stukas with style.

Give me a P-51 mustang, or give me death.


HATERS GOTTA HATE, YO!

Yaks, LaGGs, MiGs ... I loved BnZ'ing their buttocks with my Gustav (Bf 109 G-2) or my Kurfürst (Bf 109 K-4).

Hm, need to check if Gutted is still flying ...

Interesting that the Yak's penis curled up like that...because that's exactly what my penis did when I saw him cutting it.

What a speaker. Seriously, I could listen to this guy talk about the colour of yak milk and I'd still upvote it.

After watching more videos on tasting menus I have come to appreciate what they are. I guess I more rail against the restaurants that serve up tiny dishes as THE meal... no large number of courses.

I would have been there in a flash if I were anywhere near Vancouver!

I've discovered a highly regarded restaurant which does tasting menus a couple of hours from me... one day I shalst go.

Good luck, hope it goes well.

No dandelion petal unfortunately, but each course will only be a few bites.

Then again, it is 12 courses, not just 3 or 4

Sorry, have to downvote. It was a reflex reaction when they showed mcdonalds with fine dining over it. Want to see american fine dining? Try Alinea or MOTO or The French Laundry, or WD-50, or any of a hundred different places. America actually does have a cuisine. STFU. Fucking big mac. Argh.

I just watched the Alinea video, and while I'm sure the food is delicious, I HATE that form of cuisine...
"Here is your main meal sir"
"Where?"
"There sir, on the plate"
"I can see a flower petal on a stick"
"Yes sir, that is your meal, a dandelion petal infused with Yak butter broth, perched delicately atop a reduction of baby seal flipper, drizzled with aioli and ground camel hoof."
"Well, that sounds great, but I think I'll eat that in, erm, one, maybe two mouthfuls"
"Ahh, but of course, you just need to order another 18 courses sir"
"This one cost me $45 on its own!"
"Is sir a cheapskate?"
"No, but I do need to pay the bills"
"I scoff at you sir... scoff"

Really, a complete wank... I enjoy good food, I enjoy food with great presentation, but I can NEVER come at food where the portion sizes are so insanely small that even after a 3 or 4 course meal you're left empty. I don't suggest just going to a steakhouse and getting the largest damn slab o' meat you can, but come on, I go out to EAT not to sample.

If McCain wins, I'd recommend Tibet. Sure, the oxygen is scarce and soldiers patrol the streets with AKs, but at least it's a high plateau that will be the last place to sink under the new Panaqua Ocean. Plus, yak meat is tasty.

That sound ... keep your Spitfires, Hurricanes, Typhoons, Mustangs, Thunderbolts, Lightnings and Yaks, i've seen them all. But the DB 605 ... that sucker goes straight to the spine, i always get the shakes when i hear it live.

>> ^Payback:
Anyone wanna see my Magic Nose Goblins? I picked them myself!

I was wondering if there was anyone else but me who remembered that. How about the magical yak who leaves you his shaving scum as a gift?

So many classic, insane Ren and Stimpy moments.

Sorry Sirex, not Yak 52s. They are T6 Texans - http://www.warbirdalley.com/t6.htm

Interesting video... although it seems a bit on the silly side.

yak 52, unless i'm mistaken. The corsair has a distintive drop in the wing near the join to the body,

http://www.fighterfactory.com/airworthy-aircraft/assets/images/corsair-2.jpg

Who needs evidence to believe in their religion? Believe, as an intransitive verb, is all about faith and opinion, not a waying of facts...

... I'd also agree with fungible's comment, there are more than 1 and less than an infinite amount of hairs on the back of a full grown yak. If they specified the particular yak and the time at which to assess the number of hairs then a much tighter range would be possible. Same for Hawaii; give a time, outline what encapsulates Hawaii exactly, and a helpful range to answer the question can be developed. , yes, I am always this ridiculous.
