Who was the Planet member and what record was he attempting to break?

I'm anxious to read the exchange.

I know what this is - I'm just trying to track down the post and picture. Isn't this in reference to the picture of Trent holding/throwing a big fish? Still looking for more of the context of the story - so any hints would be much appreciated.

+1 for getting that much

there is a thread full of photoshops of Trent...one of Trent in throwing position with "bass hand"....for some reason it makes laugh to tears....

sadly, I think the thread is lost to various server repairs...

What is this about?

Me scores 2 hits
-superficial damage to radio room
-superficial damage to pilot compartment

2 Mes circle, attack again

brent102fire fires, misses
hydrae fires, misses
braincase fires, misses
rednfeisty fires, misses

Both Mes miss, break off attack

Heavy Flak – 5 hits
-superficial damage to starboard wing
-port root damage to tail
-starboard root damage to tail
-superficial damage to tail

The fifth hit comes in. As a note, flak was fired from an 88-mm shell, which exploded at altitude to create shrapnel.

If you were unlucky, the shrapnel hit your plane.

If you were really unlucky, the 88-mm shell hit your plane.

If you were really, really unlucky, the 88-mm shell hit a fuel tank.

An 88-mm shell hits the port wing.

It explodes in the inboard fuel tank.

The fuel tank explodes.

The left wing shears off.

From memory, this was from some sort of text based game on the Planet about WW2. Planeteers made up bomber crews on B-17s or B-29s for bombing runs.

I'll see if I can locate details.

Maybe Iowanian can keep unanswered questions in the thread starter, since several people are submitting them.

**Iowanian** · 03-18-2008, 10:43 AM

I'll likely be MIA for a couple of days, soon. I can't keep up with everything.

Each person is responsible for submitting and scoring their own questions...and I think when you do, unanswered questions should be listed at the bottom of your post?

new question.
A poster took a date to a fire station. What happend?

I think Skip started the "Last person to post on this thread wins" thread. Last I saw it on the main page, it had 11,000+ replies.

So close! I was only off by 8000 posts!

Maybe I should go post in that thread 8,000 times, then I'll have over 8,000 posts AND get the point!
