Just found this video of the Atlantic City Airshow that a member of the other forum I go on posted.

Nice Vid! Unless my eyesight is a LOT worse than I thought, that was the Blue Angels AND the Thunderbirds in the SAME show?  :o Thought they didn't work together.

Oh well, Still a great display of American airpower

Excellent. Looks like a fantastic show.

You obviously didn't see the photos that Willit & Rottydaddy posted at the time. http://www.atlanticcitynj.com/acairshow.asp

Only the third time it's happened... we lucked out.
This reminds me: I have some video snippets from that show that I haven't uploaded yet... coming soon!

Completely off-topic: The first time I heard that expression I thought I was out of luck.

Heehee... exasperating what we've done with the language, isn't it?

For future reference: that expression is in the same "family" as:
Wigged out
Freaked out
Bugged out
(all three of which pretty much mean the same thing)

But not:
Stepping out
Making out
Acting out
Decked out



I wonder what the origin of it is, though...? I have to admit, it doesn't really make sense.

With the way the Americans have butchered the English language, the world can only breath a sigh of relief that they do not speak French. It would be an entirely different language by now.

they do not speak French.

Ah but they do. It's called Cajun. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cajun_French

I'm talking nationally. Not a isolated group of hillbillies.
