The Object of One's Affection

By Boquisucio on January 17, 2011 | | Comments (12)
It brings a small tear to my eye, just to see how so many grown men can devote so much affection on to one girl.  How can it be that so many men pour forth love on to her without a hint of jealousy or jockeying to be her favorite?  But alas, she loves them all back with equal measure.



She is a lucky girl, and they are all lucky to be dotting her with so much affection.

She's okay.  Now, if she were a HELICOPTER.....

Shouldn't that thing have tracks or sunthin'?  Then those poor guys wouldn't have to work so hard to slew it around.  I bet that with DADT repealed, The One and his toadies will next focus on Unionizing the military.  THEN they'll fix that problem!

@Virtual Insanity, first of all, had it been reading my medical records? Your handle suggests did you have more knowledge about me than I do.  I just want to know how you won the right to use that handle. I figure, there's all bunch of us that would meet that standard.

You put a strange focus on the word “HELICOPTER”. I figure the focus should actually be on the very top of the rotor. It is respectfully called,  “The JESUS NUT”, when that goes, you're in for of sudden THUD, for a landing, OUCH!

BOQ, If all of the truth were  told, then you would see the importance of details. THANK YOU!

 It's called the "Jesus Nut" because if it goes that's who you call on for aid.

Grumpy is obviously grumpier than me, and a bunch of others combined. If he weren't, he would understand the reverence with which virtual approaches Helicopters. Being a devotee of that Religion, the one true religion, blessed be its name, myself, I fully understand his veneration. We only await the return true High Priest, BillT, to revive us and lead us to the kingdom.

 Quartermaster, I've known the story for over 40 years.  For both, religious reasons and mechanical reasons, I understand its importance. If you look at my comment, the middle paragraph, you'll see that I write, “the it is' respectfully' called, ' The JESUS NUT', when that goes, you're in for a sudden THUD, for a landing, OUCH!”.

As to your point, more often than not, it is after you land, you begin to pray and hope.

Sir, yeah, I can be cranky or even “Grumpy”, there was no disrespect to the “LORD”.

Sir, I hope you have a better day and even a great week.  ; -)

We were always told that it's called the Jesus nut because if it comes loose your next conversation will be with the One the nut is named after (unless, of course you are RC and have to talk to St. Peter first). ;)

 Old, either one works. Both of our roads lead to the same location :-)

If it goes, "Jesus" is about the only word you have time to *say*...

Virtual = the job.
Insanity = what it's done to me. 

And there's a song.
