Chris, you magnificent bastard…you’re really whetting our appetites for well done meat….and making us hungry for BBQ too….
Well done… :)…it’s going to be a great week…and perhaps an equally awesome weekend.
Just remember 12 schnitzengrubben is my limit…

As a GI, are you (by any chance) “channeling” Ol’ Blood ‘n’ Guts, when he
(well, George C. Scott) yelled “Rommel, you magnificent bastard, I read yer BOOK!”? I wonder what B&G would think about our (sadly, soon-to-be-gone) FLYING tank (also known as the Thunderbolt II, the A-10 WartHog).

Actually, I am an old Naval Aviator (yes ironic nom de plume I know), but I am a long time student of military history. And yes, George would be distressed about a great deal going on with our military these days. As someone who speaks airplanes, I think the A-10 in nearly irreplaceable for what it does, but is not “cool” enough for my zoomie breatheran.
But I also think Chris is a master strategist, using deception and misdirection to keep all of us in suspense…dare I call it foreplay? Here we are in anticipation of his next move…waiting for him to spring out those…objects of desire.

Gudonya, Grunt! I started out in Neptunes, then flew in Whales during my ‘Nam service. Later on, Crusader Plane Captain—Admirals Bud Flagg (FLT 93 RIP) and John Cotton (COMNAVRESFOR) flew my ‘Saders. Whenever the zoomies get “uppity”, remind ’em that their AFRs require two miles of concrete, 500 ‘ wide. Meanwhile, our landing zone is only as long as theirs is wide—and it’s moving on three axes at once! : )
I was a P-3 NFO for many years…NAS Brunswick deploying to NAS Sigonella, Roosey Roads, a little time in the desert in 1990, then a long exile on the USS Enterprise with a LOT of time in Carrier Box 4 in 1996 intermixed with a few shore tours to tell sea stories and drink beer.
Ha, I do love to make fun of fighter pilots, especially Air Force fighter pilots, but as a P-3 guy, I personally did love my 6,000 feet of runway and 60,000 pounds of gas when flying.

Hey GI, the Warthog is a beautiful and awesome airplane, and I think the USAF knows it. But the boys in blue are bleeding money with the JSF, so putting the A-10s at Davis-Monthan will free up some badly needed cash. I also dig the sound of those TF-34s, which my beloved Hoover used as well.

I laughed when I heard than line in the movie. Actually Rommel read Patton’s (and Eisenhowr’s) book first. Little known fact but Patton and Ike worked out the basic principles of tank warfare at Ft Sam Houston in San Antonio,Tx between the 1st and 2nd world wars – using those tiny WWI Renault tanks. Granted Rommel made a significant contribution to military science but Patton and Ike laid the foundation.

It’s hard to imagine the brisket Travis is making needs the assistance of Sam & Jan’s “assets” to boost sales but why mess with success?
To be fair, Jan’s former training in “marketing” would have been based on the “principles” of progressive ideology and academia, which is to say with a total lack of regard and understanding of the capitalist system that makes it possible for them all to exist in their enlightened and dismissive vacuum.
Engineers, soldiers, ranchers, and entrepreneurs OTOH, understand that motivating your target market is based on attracting them to your premises, providing them with quality goods and service, and utilizing your ass-ets to keep them happy, generate word of mouth and earn return business.
I know I’m sold already, just based on the promise of fine DD and Q.

I believe they have determined the needs and wants of the potential customers (and many of the selves). Now as I recall from my business school classes and business, comes the selling part and the delivering of the product to the client base. Motivating that client base into action is relevant to achieving the sales objectives. How dry such interesting activity can be made to sound. 🙂

A couple or three drawings of Sam and Jan and Naomi in their DDQ waitress outfits!? You could put them under a passing rain shower, if you needed to cool things down a bit.
