Forum: General F-35 Forum

Was there a flying DeLorean in the vicinity? Would love to get a copy of that newspaper and make a killing with the bookies.

Irregardless

One of the best threads here, evah. Oh wait up a minute, somebody said this here already. Nevermind /Emily Litella. Good fun.

I thought it was a RAP song: http://www.youlicense.com/Lyrics.aspx?ID=703

Irregardless

"I'm gonna' call her mother
I'm gonna' call her shrink
I'm gonna' call her third grade teacher
And tell 'em all what I think
I'm gonna' fill 'em in on all the things they've never heard
Like the fact that she thinks irregardless is a word.

Call me a neurotic
Tell me I'm a pain
Say that I'm an A-retentive...."

Well, if we are to speculate about who the father could be, I could name several suspects;

1. Eric Palmer
2. Carlo Copp

Who else? Smile

Acehigh-

Could be an executive at Boeing that is praying for the F-35 to be canceled . . . since they just lost out to it and are likely to loose in South Korea too.

Also, could be McCain as he want to kill the F-35 too

Spazs - that's brilliant ! No really , I'm in awe that you dug this up.
But if I may Sir - you left out the best part
To wit:

And when I finally tell her that she's wrong
She'll probably say she knew it all along...

She'll never even know the kind of hell that I've endured
Just because she thinks irregardless is a word.

Not Worthy

Moderators have told me I'm not allowed to quote any web page in full - so I'm only teasing from now on. Is that OK? Very Happy

Ahhh I do so enjoy a good tease ... Thanks

The mods seem the have the opposite problem with me. The other day, one of them took down my link, posted the entire article, and told me not to edit the post back to its original state (the exchange was deleted).

"Hey all,

Please make sure when we post we do not do full copy/pastes of articles.
A link and a short quote is good. And... tell us what you think! The last part is what people come here for because there is a huge quantity of first-hand/industry knowledge.

Also, whatever you post in this forum has a good chance of showing up in Google News. The Google News web-bots are pretty aggressive with putting this forum in Google News.

So.

1. No full copy/paste of articles. Post a link and a very small quote(s) as needed.
2. Tell us what YOU think when you post. A full copy/paste of a news article (unless you are the author) only is not what this forum is for.
3. If needed put the stock quote at the bottom of your forum post that what is said are your opinions and not that of the U.S. Government or whatever industry you work in.
4. Remember that when you start a new forum topic here, there is a good chance it will find its way into Google News. You can use that to a good advantage if you fancy yourself a good/informative writer.

There have been some complaints on the full/copy paste issue; so please help us out on this or the mods will have to remove posts wholesale when they see them.

Thanks for your cooperation in advance.

I suspect this is copyright law. Selected quotes and links are considered "fair use" of the articles, but wholesale copy and paste is infringement and opens this site up to lawsuits.

Nope. Your dad is apparently reading an article (or a newspaper) that will be published about 8-months from now. As of today, the F-35 has not been canceled.

If you would, ask your dad to what the article says about the replacement. Everybody wants to know.

Google is your friend.

I seem to misremember "irregardless" being in my dictionaries as a kid.
