Out of curiosity: why was the crew complement only half the size of a regular Mainstay? Was it by design of this makeshift AWACS or just the fact that it was a parade?

You are always so kind, Sir Chicchorea! I do appreciate the laurels, thank you very much!

Ah, I will miss my old avatar too, I am a creature of habit (pun intended).
I thought I might shake myself up a bit and rotate through a few other ones as well. It does harken me. This artist loves black hair more than red, however, which is the biggest difference.

I hope you had a lovely weekend, and wish you a most enjoyable week to come.

You are always most assuredly welcome, m'lady. As to your kind complement, while appreciated I feel it overgenerous. After all, it is your remarkable flair and taste fomenting my and others actions toward celebration.

And please, if I may...love your new avatar...'twouldn't be a likeness of your person would. I will confess, I will miss the old one.

If George Bush rushed off camera to help some old guy I'd compliment him too. Hell, I complemented Bush when he ducked that shoe.

Feinman's Quantum ElectroDynamic theory is one of the most successfully predictive theories in the history of science, but my point is that it will eventually be superseded (actually, built upon) by another--more concise--theory. Paradigm shifts are always occurring in science, that's why science is so powerful: it's self-correcting.

Thanks for the complement, but I don't even have an advanced degree.

I need a model of how I fucked this comment up. Any takers?

I kind of sensed that you were trying to troll me. But yeah, I mean that statement isn't completely true. We are getting a pretty good idea about the fundamentals now. Virtual particles causing electromagnetic fields and so on. Do you teach a class or something?

These two leaders complimented each other.
Of course! They're both communists.


The Republicans, from Nixon to Dubya, are a much better complement to China.

and kudos for having a decent description that complements the title so i know what to expect.

Chinese resumes must be weird.

I am black, you are white.
I am coffee, you are milk.
We will always complement each other.

You may have a try...


lol wut?

My copy of the OST just arrived from Amazon today. It isn't the best OST I've ever heard, but it was so well woven into the film, so perfect a complement for this particular film, that I couldn't get it, or the scenes that accompanied particular parts of it, out of my head for days after the fact.

A must listen (and the film is a must watch) imo.

Ah the aqua stream has been picked up!:)
Nice complement to wings/air...

@blankfist, so everyone cheering for Sarah Palin is deeply concerned about the plight of poor, urban people? Not a one is really worried about welfare queens, no one's worried about illegal immigrants mooching off our wonderful welfare state? No one believes there's a bunch of people who're totally employable that are on the government dole and just kicking back and mooching off the rest of us hard working, "real" Americans?

In short, Lee Atwater was wrong?

You're not average. Take the complement and let me beat up on people who deserve it without trying to die for their sins.

I have to say I didn't much care for the song itself, but that's a very interesting pair of voices. They really complement each other well.

A very smooth and smoky feel to her voice!

Indeed.. although I've noticed during some of these videos she seems to lack any emotion - at times her face is entirely devoid of any expression. But aye, a very nice voice, and it complements Jack's quite well when they sing together. Great duo here, with a bright future ahead of 'em, it seems.

It takes a lot of focus to sing like that and you are spoiled by music videos and lip syncs.


I actually despise most (mainstream) music videos, and detest lipsyncing.
But no, you have me all figured out don't ya! I'm not saying her voice isn't good, it is - it's very lovely in fact.
She's just not my type of musician.. too detached and nonchalant. Doesn't seem to really feel what she sings. This song isn't the best example, as it doesn't require much exuberance, but it's not just in this one that I've noticed it.

^That would complement all the drama talks too.
