At least make her wash your car in the summer, you know something INTERESTING. I'd bet bad money that talking with her would be like trying to convince the giraffe at the zoo to dance to I Like to Move It. Lots of blank stares.

That's still a mystery to me. They look real but yet it seems like they've grown a lot over the past 2-3 years. I thought girls went through puberty at a younger age??

There are two things to consider: One, clothing makes a difference. The corset she's wearing in that dumb commercial is like a metal push-up bra, so it's emphasizing what didn't need any emphasizing. Two, some women actually have the equivalent of some animals' teeth for breast tissue...they never stop growing. I know of several women who when looking at pictures from their 20s, 30s, and 40s, show a consistent increase in breast size that would've required multiple world-class surgeries to do artificially in such a gradual manner and still appear even close to real. Yet in their cases you can tell by the "pancake" effect when they lie down that they're real, plus as they get older they're getting sag that fake ones don't.
So a gradual increase isn't unusual, being larger in your later years isn't unusual (especially if childbirth is involved, but even without), but the bizarre notion that large breasts MUST be fake is unusual. It's like people WANT to believe they're fake, that being real is too good to be true or something. As it is they've usually got vapid personalities and a voice that shatters glass, why must they have had that surgery? Often you'll find they did have a nose job or chin lift or some other thing that no one guesses or comments on, but instead everyone harps on how what IS real is fake?

Hey if I am not here when Wags get here can someone ask him why there is no German Vanilla? I mean there is French Vanilla and German Chocolate but no German Vanilla. It would seem like that is something German culinary scientists could reverse engineer. It's not exactly a lead computing gunsite, if you know what I mean..
You know what, never mind. I'll just stick around until he gets here.

Watch how Sade looks slightly irritated when she finds her boyfriend's gun in the glovebox. That means she's actually turned on by it. She doesn't yell at him or gets freaked out, she goes with it. That in a nutshell is the kind of mystery and adventure that women crave. She's singing how she doesn't even deserve him. This guy is for real.

Replace 'Roman Empire' with 'Western Civilisation' and we're in a similar situation now, except with a different monotheistic religion. Once a religion gets to a certain critical mass, then the 'empire' has no real choice except to try and control it by embracing it, as Constantine did.

Remember- she's not leaving. That's the key. Normally, we think that if something is irritating, we just get away from it. But under the 'laws of attraction,' this sort of logic doesn't apply. You do something that appears to be annoying to a girl, but she still hangs around, you're actually in her head. You have the power to bother her and she doesn't know why- that's attractive to her.

Brooks. Use that name for this thread if you like SkateZ, he owns SimHQ and even mentioning him will probably get this whole thread removed.
Here's Brooks in his new Tesla on the streets of Davie Florida - it's a very cool video with almost 5 million views now.

Well, since we are hijacking this thread....
We buy bar soaps to bathe with.
After a while when the bar gets to be too small or it breaks into two or more smaller pieces, no one wants to use it.
They are not big enough to lather up your body with during a shower or bath and too small to have enough washing power to wash your face with making you still feel dirty afterward.
It would be a waste to throw them away.
At over $4.50 for a pack of 8 4 oz bars, it gets expensive.
Especially when we use them in the shower, they break down faster sitting in wire soap holder on the wall with water splashing on it from the shower jet spray off the wall and your person.
I was wondering if we can put it into a blender and break them up into a mixture and then somehow mold the mixture into one big piece of soap again.
Wouldn't it be desolate to know your language dies with you? That's a lot of known last speakers. And they missed a language. It says ancient egyptian died in 600BC by evolving into demotic. And coptic died in the 1600s; but demotic evolved into coptic, so demotic must have died somewhere around 500AD, but it's not listed.

Actually, by bumping the thread to the top we're increasing the odds of him seeing it (about zilch) and getting an answer by PM.
On the matter of soap shards, put them into solution by boiling in water, add a dash of glycerin, reduce by simmering to one third of the start, pour into molds and allow to cool. The soap will fall out of it and make new bars....or one can keep it in the form of "liquid soap."

Ah, that reminds me, thursday night I saw the ISS for the first time (it takes quite a combination of factors to make it possible, mainly the improbable event of a clear sky during the 3 minute interval on a very few days per year when it is visible from here) and it was pretty cool as it brightened up to outshine Jupiter just after it passed it within a degree or so, but mostly because I could see the resupply vehicle chasing it about five degrees back.

Hey guys listen I am going to be in and out today, so if Matt shows up can someone ask him if the DCS: X-Wing will correctly model the targeting computer 3 dimensional surface scanning? I know it was standard on the Y-wing wings and only a field modification of the T-65's for the trench attack on the first Death Star. I think the software upgrade became factory in later versions but I am not sure what time frame they are planning to model.
I'm hoping that the work on ground radar for the F-18 will be useful in ramping up to Proton Torpedo launches in non standard trajectories. I don't want to get my hopes up after the whole Pave Penny fiasco but I would love to see it..

How to Make Perfect Hard-Boiled Eggs
Get a perfect hard-boiled egg every time with these simple tips on how to hard-boil an egg. Boiled eggs are a convenient and affordable source of protein. With hard-boiled eggs on hand, you have the components of a satisfying breakfast, lunch, snack, appetizer, or dinner. So get cracking!
DIRECTIONS
Place eggs in a large saucepan. Cover them with cool water by 1 inch. Slowly bring water to a boil over medium heat; when the water has reached a boil, cover and remove from heat. Let sit 12 minutes.
Adding a teaspoon of vinegar to the water may help keep egg whites from running out if an egg does crack while cooking. Also some people find adding 1/2 teaspoon of salt to the water helps prevent cracking as well as making the eggs easier to peel.
Transfer eggs to a colander; place under cool running water to stop the cooking. Eggs can be peeled and served immediately.
Re: Matt Wagner, I need your help!!! - 04/21/1506:44 AM
Wow, so much fat and salt on the poor Mr. Broccoli head. He might brake out. Or hurt his feeling being all slicked up. A bit O brags with some garlic is all it takes. High heat, sear the bugger a bit, let him scream in the brags/garlic mix.
Re: Matt Wagner, I need your help!!! - 04/21/1509:05 AM
What are these brags of which you speak?
...it wouldn't perhaps be Bragg's, sort of like Dr Bronner's from the golden age of counterculture condiments, but without the 200 word ingredient list and rambling sermon on not-clear-exactly-what covering the entire label in a font barely large enough to be legible?

this is a very complicated process - I´ll have to study it more before I feel I am ready to give it a try. I wonder, can I mix broccoli with it ?

in reading again "How to Make Perfect Hard-Boiled Eggs" and after some reflection, I came to the conclusion that the ingredient "Egg" is very important, but some controversy seems to surround it, specially its manufacture sequence.
it seems now that its origin is surrounded by further controversy.

Re: Matt Wagner, I need your help!!! - 04/22/1501:03 PM
artichokes rock. You only need to clip the bit that will stab the crap out you. See a nice vegi that can fook you up! The leaves are the best part for sure. Simply need to steam them, best with an artichoke stand. To make extra fatty yum yum style. After steaming, pile in way to much butter, parmesan, and garlic between the leaves and on top. Do not boil a freaking artichoke ever! Had an ex do that as she knew I liked em.. Just let me do the damned cooking. Everyone else sucks.
The thread needs a re-title: Cooking veggies with Matt.

Damned stuff was clear and we had to bulk it up with artichokes to keep from starving to death. Man, sure am glad we survived that winter."
Re: Matt Wagner, I need your help!!! - 04/22/1502:31 PM
A lot of "traditional" food is like that.
Lutefisk - ug. "We caught all this fish to keep us from starving but it'll surely go bad!" with the solution to cover it in lye as a preservative. Don't tell me that they wouldn't have preferred fresh fish - they invented that to keep from starving to death, taste be damned.
Poke salad - a Southern dish where one takes the leaves of the poke salad plant and makes greens from it. The problem is that the plant is poisonous, so one must repeatedly boil and rinse it to make it edible....at which point it tastes kinda like greens. But when facing starvation it is a viable option, which many a sharecropper took advantage of.
Re: Matt Wagner, I need your help!!! - 04/22/1505:57 PM
Kale is awesome! VARY good for you. However, raw is sort of....well, no thank you. Steamed lightly or better yet sauteed with garlic in, light butter, olive oil, braggs, soy sauce, etc is vary yum yum to me. I actually crave it. Helps its grown all over the place by me.
Re: Matt Wagner, I need your help!!! - 04/22/1506:22 PM
I like raw spinach, broccoli and kale. I don't add anything but salt and pepper (I can't do dressings or any rich sauces). Usually by adding other ingredients- tomatoes, olives, that's more than enough for flavor.

I always laugh when people take "healthy food" and proceed to explain that it can still be tasty to eat as long as you proceed to cook it in ways that make it extremely UNhealthy.
Re: Matt Wagner, I need your help!!! - 04/22/1507:36 PM
Certainly adding dressings are a way to neutralize the health benefits of eating salad. I don't even like the taste of them, and things like mayonnaise or eggs make me sick to my stomach.
I also have a very strong sense of taste, so I don't need much of anything. I can detect small amounts of ketchup or mustard or mayonnaise in any bite (can't stand them).

Why I never mentioned fried zucchini.
Its all relative. IMO its better if someone uses a 1/10 a stick of butter on a vegi than go and buy a pizza. Ideally, you get away from lots of complex fats over time. And get to using just a tad of soy sauce or something. Which once you retrain your pallet, you find that many common foods are incredibly over salted, way to much fat/oils, insane amounts of sugers. But if that is what you are use to eating, you are not going to go off and enjoy lightly steamed kale with garlic.
I cant do no dressing salad. But I also cant handle most off the shelf dressings from the super market. Making your own say, nut based dressing using only the oils in the nuts when ground down is an excellent and vary healthy way to get a good lunch salad in there. Everything your body needs without alot of bad. Just the same, a big fat bowl of tortellini with fatty Alfredo sauce now and then sure is nice. Or my blue cheese based crazy gut bomb mac and cheese. Tastes great....Not good for you.
Re: Matt Wagner, I need your help!!! - 04/22/1508:44 PM
To stay on thread:
When ever I question my own dietary morals, I ask myself, "What would Matt Wagner eat?" I have made a nice fridge magnet stating the same in abbreviated form:
BTW, romanesco is quite tasty. but looks really really weird. Its in the same family as cauliflower.
I don't know if I'd be up to eating food which sat on the plate taunting me with its Fibonacci Series.
Ah, you noticed that? Crazy is it not? You don't see it in stores to often either. My local coop located flat in the Skagit valley sometimes has it. Never seen anyone buy any. But I find it tasty. Better than cauliflower. And fun to stare at.

Only thing I put on my salads is red wine vinegar and extra virgin olive oil and salt.
Re: Matt Wagner, I need your help!!! - 04/23/1502:17 PM
That would depend on what the salad is replacing. Are they simply adding it to an existing meal? Then of course they won't lose. Are they replacing a vegetable with a salad? Unless they had a large vegetable serving and a small salad, it will not aid weight loss. Is the salad the entire meal? If so, I can't imagine how much they're putting on it that as a meal replacement it's still equal, unless they replaced already small meals with a large salad.
In many cases, portion size control is a better way than to try and totally change it up.

But if your doing the vegi thing for health you negated the whole thing. Except for maybe some roughage to help poo out the tasty stuff. Many salad dressing are insanely fattening and vary not good for you.
I would rather have a plate of uber fat than pretend with a salad covered in same uber fat. Whats interesting is that in the past oh 4 years or so when started eating way more fresh vegis and the like, I now have real problems digesting cream, milk, some cheeses, and more heavy sorts of fats. Simple fats like nut based things no issues. I have no lactose issues. And am quite happy my fore fathers ate tons of dairy to give me the enzymes to digest the stuff. But is interesting to note. I still occasionally eat that sort of stuff but know I will pay for it. I simply feel notably better with more energy since really getting into cooking more basic. Gotten really good at it. Every Friday I do some crazy meal for the family. They seem to go nuts over it. But its all based on simple things and lots of fresh vegi's and nuts as fresh from the local farms as I can do. There are rarely left overs and never survive the next day. Not once since starting this have I ever gotten any of my left overs.
With portion control... you can eat as many vegis as you possibly want to stuff your gut full. But who does that? My gf got me into juicing as well. I mean with green stuff, not fruit. I dont make them, she does. But wow... energy explosion. After the awful learning process of what makes a good one I try and do one a day. But wow...the early ones where really gross. And wheat grass is nasty, I don't know how anyone consumes that stuff. But its basically a salad in liquid form flavored with carrot or granny smith apples. Never thought I would get into that one. Guess I have gone hippy new age gun touting weirdo. Oh whatever.

same with me - the cleaner and healthier the diet, the less you are able to cope with "heavy" foods , nowadays, I don't even find appetizing foods that I would eat without thinking twice a few years before, in fact, nowadays there is nothing I like more that eating good Japanese food.

Because simply cutting out meat and replacing with cheese and cream turns you into a fatty. Generally folks that go vegetarian gravitate to way to much dairy and eggs to compensate for the no meat thing. Seen this too. In Seattle when this whole hipster crap exploded it became the rage to go vegan for many of them. Eating fried crap with a totally unbalanced diet getting drunk every night is not remotely healthy. So while not fat generally, they looked freaking awful. Skin tone is off, lethargic, low muscle mass. Just BAD. I had friend who was a vegan and not a hipster, he ate way more sanely and was a vary young looking early 40's and good muscle mass. i was late 20's at the time and would not have guessed he had pasted threw the 40 mark. So it all depends on the person and their diet. Not a simple label.

Supermodel Kate Upton has been donning armor these last few months as the spokeswoman for the mobile title Game of War: Fire Age. In a Bloomberg feature published Thursday, it’s reported that the title’s parent company, Machine Zone, set aside $40 million for the four-month campaign featuring Upton.
But it sounds like it's paying off big time, all the little kiddies downloading this game

Game of War is raking in cash, too. In fact, Bloomberg reported it is collecting more than $1 million per day, double the amount last spring. The reason? Though the game is free to download, in-app purchases that add up quickly.

Aw, I like Helen Hunt as an actress.
Matt Wagner could play a Twister role in a Shakespearean play version of the movie, where only men were allowed on the stage.
Paxton: Oh, whether the winds of the tempest should befall on us on this desolate path only fortune will tell As we emerge ever so boldly past trees and bush onto this plain of whipping as if it were the sea When rain and hail shall pummel our means of delivery into the maelstrom for which we pursue with haste Look there, it approaches with roar and thunder, wiping the lands with its scouring hands within an arrow's flight!

Former FC Bayern and German National Team goalkeeper Oliver Kahn was not a Khan, either - but probably one of his distant ancestors was a Khan (hence the name) - but a "Titan" (which is his unofficial, and unfortunately self-appointed, nickname).
Also, why did Khan (Noonien Singh) look like Ricardo Montalban for most of his life, only to suddenly bear an uncanny resemblance to Benedict Cumberbatch?
Another fun fact: did you know that Genghis Khan looked a lot like John Wayne?

Matt Wagner, please clarify!
Khan Singh left Earth almost 10 years ago, during the hype of the Clinton/Dole presidential race. We didn't notice.
As for why he looks like a tall pale Brit instead of Indian, the answer to that lies in Star Wars, not Star Trek. *waves hand* Cumberbatch looks Indian. You can go about your business. Move along.

And why were German soldiers during WWI referred to as "Huns"?
Because Emperor Billy, the second of his name, decided it was an incredibly smart idea to tell the following to German troops ready to be shipped to China to help quell the Boxer rebellion:
"Just as a thousand years ago the Huns under their King Attila made a name for themselves, one that even today makes them seem mighty in history and legend, may the name German be affirmed by you in such a way in China that no Chinese will ever again dare to look cross-eyed at a German"

So to sum it up so far...
Some guy posts here in CH for info from Matt Wagner on DCS World, RSVP no less via PM. The Illuminati somehow got involved along with Kate Upton, her boobs and Lois Lerner, then an otorhinolaryngologist from Calgon took her away.
A batch of flying pancakes showed up with photos of old girlfriends which were somehow eaten by a giraffe in a big building called a hospital. 3 posts about horses and stables followed by more hoarse and German Chocolate related stuff.
Elvis showed up, or didn't, with Sade to feed some Christians to lions in a pit infested with Pythons and a few gun nuts.
A few cute little kittens tried to turn the tide, but the Battle of Pharsalus was still lost, possibly due to underinflated footballs. An irate member tried to clean it all up, but Tidy Bowl seems overrated, not underinflated.
After pondering whether a language really dies if there is no one around in a Tesla to listen to it, we hear about Nigerians and soap....not necessarily in that order, or even related to each other.
Someone mentioned Homeland security, so I left for a few days and hid in the Walmart secret tunnels until a Black helicopter brought me back with some broccoli.
Somebody Ram-a-Rammed a ding dong (was it Sister Rae?) and Little Italy went berserk....until somebody mentioned Bon Jovi.
Pretty much a Trane (train) wreck so far, hopefully with the help of Bugs Bunny we'll get back on topic,

You can buy pistachio still in shell but the shells haven't been dyed.
Google search turn up this explanation:

...most pistachios were imported from the Middle East, where traditional harvesting methods left stains on the shells. Dying the shell red or green covered up the stains. But today about 98 percent of pistachios sold in the U.S. are grown in California, where a more mechanized harvesting process means that the nuts are picked, hulled and dried before the shell has a chance to become stained, so there is no need to dye them.

Some useless trivia for this wonderful Friday,
Akira Kurosawa was the original director for the Japanese sequences in "Tora, Tora, Tora" but due to creative differences with 20th Century Fox he dropped out.
After 25 years I only now realize this song is about a woman who used a one night stand to get pregnant because the man she loves is not able to father children.
All these years I thought this song was encouraging women to pick up strange men standing at the side of the road and have one night stand with them.

Unfortunately this cartoon and other Looney Tunes cartoons are banned from some channels now because they are deemed to be too graphic and promote gun violence and other violent acts.

Re: Matt Wagner, I need your help!!! - 05/26/1509:09 AM
I spent a lot of time one day on youtube looking for the classic WB Foghorn Leghorn Vs Dog (Dawg?) cartoon where Dog passes a rope through every obstacle on the farm including various downspouts and threading all the rungs of a couple of ladders, then loops the end around Foghorn's leg and connects the other end to something like a truck driving away, and the last two minutes of the film are just following Foghorn being pulled backward through everything. I couldn't find it anywhere. I assume it has been censored for being too violent.
Re: Matt Wagner, I need your help!!! - 05/27/1512:56 PM
I agree that political correctness has gone too far concerning kids cartoons but I remember a couple of the old Tom & Jerry cartoons that had some pretty bad and blatant racism so I can understand if those episodes were pulled by the studio.

Some of the cartoons from the thirties are pretty frighteningly racist. And the WW2 ones use every conceivable derogatory stereotype for the enemy. They got airtime in the fifties, but were gone by about '61.
Re: Matt Wagner, I need your help!!! - 05/29/1512:59 PM
Yeah, no one thought twice about the cartoons. You can't find Song of the South anywhere now, but I saw it numerous times on TV growing up. Despite the fact that it had a wonderful song sung by the lead black actor, where he was pretty much the smartest person in the film (!), it's now viewed as being too incorrect because of his mannerisms and other attitudes in the film.
Re: Matt Wagner, I need your help!!! - 05/29/1501:24 PM
I'm OK with that. I miss those old shows, and if they showed our enemies of the 40's politically incorrectly boo hoo. Still less retarded than what I see on TV now for kids.

Here's an interesting tidbit of trivia about the film "Gladiator" directed by Ridley Scott,
In the film, the emperor and crowd put their thumbs up for "live" and down for "kill." In reality, the emperor would to cover his thumb with his four fingers for "live." The gladiator would also live if the emperor yelled the Latin word for "dismissed," or threw a piece of cloth, showing mercy. When he wanted the gladiator to die, he would put his thumb straight out to the side, symbolizing the sword. Studies of Roman artwork suggest that the "thumbs up" gesture was actually an affirmation to proceed with the kill.
Re: Matt Wagner, I need your help!!! - 07/17/1502:24 PM
Here's another interesting bit of trivia from IMDB for the classic film "The Blue Max",
At around 50 minutes into the movie, immediately after George Peppard's character goes to get "pink champagne," a courier enters briefly, wearing a gray trench coat. He is of average height and has straight, dark brown hair parted to one side. He turns to his left to hand a message to someone. His toothbrush mustache is very briefly visible. This is a reference to Adolf Hitler, who was a courier in WWI. He did not, at that time, wear a toothbrush mustache, but the uncredited actor portraying this courier looks extremely similar to him.

Here's some more fascinating movie trivia!
Concerning the movie "Patton" from 1970,
The German planes are a Spanish version of the Heinkel He 111, built under license by CASA. These are the same planes as featured in the film The Battle of Britain. Ironically, these Heinkels are powered by British made Rolls Royce Merlin engines, the same engines that powered Spitfires and Hurricanes against the German Luftwaffe during World War II.

Have any of you seen that show "Longmire"? I heard she's pretty good on that show. I haven't watched it since the basic premise isn't really my cup of tea.

I don't understand how they can remake Red Dawn with North Koreans, but they can't make a Korean War film like The Bridges at Toko-Ri. I mean that film came out one year after the war, certainly they could make a similar one now.

No, Einstein and Troll were two different people, but I'm not sure if Troll wrote articles like Einstein did. It's not easy to search the archives here.
Matt Wagner, PM me with SimHQ search assistance ASAP!!!!!
Re: Matt Wagner, I need your help!!! - 08/02/1507:32 PM
ok, I had to google Matt Wagner. I give up why would a comic book writer with better things to do (Like making tons of money writing comic books) would want to hang around here with you needy bunch wanting his help.
Re: Matt Wagner, I need your help!!! - 08/03/1506:18 PM
Some interesting trivia from the film "The Patriot" with Mel Gibson,
The British soldiers are referred to as "Redcoats," though this was not actually a term applied to British soldiers until the 1870s. (This is a common historical error.)

I have the feeling I would prefer less realism and more fantasy in that, perhaps it shouldn't be DCS but Flaming Cheerleaders instead? I almost said something else that sort of rhymes with "cliffs"...

I don't know, been trying to figure that out myself over the last couple of months. I don't know who Matt Wagner is. I think this thread turned into a "Whoever gets the last words wins" thread.
Re: Matt Wagner, I need your help!!! - 08/17/1501:57 PM
I was on a flight to Antigua once when the plane had an inflight-emergency with the #2 engine. It flamed out and the pilot told us things weren't looking good.
Then I looked out and saw a man on the wing of the plane. It was Matt Wagner. He fixed the engine and we landed without incident in Antigua. Yet he was gone.

Am I the only one that sang that, in my head?
Nope. I even 'heard' it in John Lennon's voice. (Yoko Ono was not invited to the performance.)
Re: Matt Wagner, I need your help!!! - 08/27/1501:37 PM
I had a dream, I had an awesome dream. Matt Wagner in the park, making games in the dark. And what he made was a sim fusillade From behind the forums of doubt a voice was crying out
Re: Matt Wagner, I need your help!!! - 08/28/1509:07 PM
Matt Wagner, there are some very evil rumors floating around regarding a major character's fate in the upcoming Star Wars 7. Please verify and, if necessary, rewrite the script immediately!
Re: Matt Wagner, I need your help!!! - 08/29/1503:29 AM

Seriously, 5 months running, we all know the real Matt Wagner has seen this topic. Plus the complaint about the existence of this thread (yeah I read all the pages). Something deep is going on here...

From wiki,
Publix Super Markets, Inc., commonly known as Publix, is an employee-owned, American supermarket chain based in Lakeland, Florida. Publix operates throughout the Southeast, with locations in Florida (756), Georgia (182), Alabama (56), South Carolina (49), Tennessee (38), and North Carolina (9).
Re: Matt Wagner, I need your help!!! - 09/02/1502:34 PM
My friend has a condo unit in one of the high rise towers on Miami Beach.
Across the street from him on Collins Avenue is a Publix.
I've been there a few times when I was single and I would go to Miami with my girlfriends and use his condo for free during the Summer.
I always found the place disorganized, dirty, crowded and expensive.
This same Publix underwent a major remodeling a few years ago.
It went from one story to 2 stories with escalators and elevator and the little parking lot in the front now has a connecting multi level parking garage so I heard.

Miami Beach got rid of all that urban dirtiness since now it is trying to attract upper income tourists from Europe and South America. Miami Beach is still very crowded and expensive though. That won't be changing any time soon.

Publix has always sold itself as a family-oriented and family "values" type of grocery store so that commercial falls right in line with the image they want to portray.
Re: Matt Wagner, I need your help!!! - 09/02/1506:54 PM
Don't forget that unless you're rich, you're staying at someplace run down or you're parking in a crowded spot that's still a long walk from it. Not fun.
Re: Matt Wagner, I need your help!!! - 02/09/1608:40 PM
Hey Matt when you pm Dart can you ask him to post an update about his Noop - that's what he should do, it's getting awfully close to leaving terra firma behind and we need an update.
Re: Matt Wagner, I need your help!!! - 02/09/1608:50 PM
Glad to see this back. Besides, isn't this a little like the whitehouse.gov petition thing? With enough useless replies he is bound by US law to respond.

Does that mean we still have 98,937 posts to go before we see Matt Wagner?
Re: Matt Wagner, I need your help!!! - 02/14/1608:29 PM
Matt, now that the existence of Gravity Waves has been confirmed, do you feel vindicated after all these years? Have you anything to say to all the doubters and haters out there? The world wants to know.
Re: Matt Wagner, I need your help!!! - 02/15/1601:11 AM
Yes SeaAce. Matt is the Great Green Arkleseisure's earthly representative. Ask of him with true heart and your prayers will be answered a thousandfold.
Re: Matt Wagner, I need your help!!! - 02/15/1603:27 PM
Plainsman,after reading these post and request I believe he is some kind of Genie who grants the wishes for those who are deserving.I just wonder if he lives in a bottle?
Now I'm wondering what you have to do to earn favor with Mr Wagner.Hmmmm.

Who is John Galt?
Why that's the former name of Matt Wagner of course!

Matt, a slutty whore of a woman I wanted to forget just messaged me. Here's my brain, please douse it with bleach to make me forget the things I wanted to forget.
Also, even though I've sent a very scathing reply to make sure she never messages me again, could you please nuke her from orbit just to make sure?
Re: Matt Wagner, I need your help!!! - 02/16/1609:33 PM
Matt Wagner is here right now mind mending with those capable of communicating at the higher level of consciousness needed to converse with him.Fortunately for those unable to speak to Matt Wagner on his level,I'm here to do so for you.Just let me know what your wishes are and I'm sure that once they are relayed to Matt they will be granted post haste if not sooner.
Of course a small fee is required for this act of kindness I intend to perform for all you mere mortals.Still just being able to speak to Matt Wagner thru me should more than justify the wee charge.
Unfortunately,it's very tiring maintaining this link with Matt so it's first come first served so who will be first?Anyone?anyone?
Re: Matt Wagner, I need your help!!! - 02/16/1610:57 PM
Well, I got an email saying that as Matt Wagner's very distant relative I am entitled to ONE HUNDRED FORTY TWO MILLION DOLLARS in a Nigerian oil company account.

Matt Wagner does not make spelling mistakes. He redefines how words are written.
Really Clyde you should know better. Matt would never make a typo, in fact it was just a new military acronym that the military had him create which you mistakenly take as a typo. Such as i.e.. AUTOSEVOCOM or DSCS ECCM
In fact, Mr. Wagner got so tired of responding to you fanbois he created the abbreviation for a "typographical error" so it would be easier for you to spell. What a kind hearted and generous great man.
Re: Matt Wagner, I need your help!!! - 02/18/1602:21 PM
Matt Wagner,
Years ago you served my father in the Flight Sim Wars. Now he begs you to help him in our struggle against crappy games. I regret that I am unable to present my father's request to you in person, but my post has fallen under attack, and I'm afraid my mission to bring you to our forum has failed. I have placed information vital to the survival of the flight sim community into the memory systems of this PM. My father will know how to retrieve it. You must see this PM safely delivered to him on his forum. This is our most desperate hour.

Help me, Matt Wagner, you're my only hope.

I saw the hologram of the message you transmitted to Master Matt, but at least you didn't send that other pic.
See Mr. Wagner, THAT's how it's done. Stratos asks for help and Mr. Weiss responds. Thanks Tom you have restored my faith in DSC guys helping each other. Come on Matt grow pair or two.
Re: Matt Wagner, I need your help!!! - 03/04/1602:13 AM
Say it isn't so, He doesn't respond? Nooooo. Wait a minute here, you have actually gotten a RSVP from Matt Wagner to his secret island. That's so cool. That's why you built the plane. You have to get to his island under the radar. What better way than a fabric covered airplane. Just so Matt doesn't get spooked and think it's Jason and the ROF guys invading his island to get another map.
Re: Matt Wagner, I need your help!!! - 03/04/1602:44 AM
I know SimHQ never has had any conspiracy theories in the past but LB4LB brings up a good point. Since Matt Wagner never responds he obviously goes by the alias of PanzerMeyer or semmern. That's the only possible reason we never see him post.
Re: Matt Wagner, I need your help!!! - 03/04/1603:25 AM
Matt Wagner is....... Donald Trump! or maybe Vladimir Putin
So..he must be shacked up with some hot eastern European chick and who cares what SimHq says. Do they run any ads here? Hah, I thought not. Best get back to my puppy chow ads now (haven't owned a dog in 50 yrs and I get dog food ads)
I'd........finisch dis post buts da ads is lagggin me outs

I think Matt is Norwegian so he's probably using "semmern".

See, it's veiled comments like that which puts the suspicion back on to PanzerMeyer. That would be just like a Wags move to spotlight semmern. Well played Wagner, well played.
