Learning to Fly

[Seeker]

Guys I was thinking of this when talking to my adopted DV kid the other day, wished I had posted it sooner. Here is a song for my noob and all of you who are just starting out! Pink Floyd - Learning to Fly Into the distance, a ribbon of black Stretched to the point of no turning back A flight of fancy on a windswept field Standing alone my senses reeled A fatal attraction holding me fast, how Can I escape this irresistible grasp? Can’t keep my eyes from the circling skies Tongue-tied and twisted just an earth-bound misfit, i Ice is forming on the tips of my wings Unheeded warnings, I thought I thought of everything No navigator to guide my way home Unladened, empty and turned to stone A soul in tension that’s learning to fly Condition grounded but determined to try Can’t keep my eyes from the circling skies Tongue-tied and twisted just an earth-bound misfit, i Friction lock - set. Mixture - rich Propellers - fully forward Flaps - set - 10 degrees Engine gauges and suction - check Mixture set to maximum percent - recheck Flight instruments... Altimeters - check both (garbled word) - on Navigation lights - on Strobes - on (to tower): confirm 3-8-echo ready for departure (tower): hello again, this is now 129.4 (to tower): 129.4. it’s to go. (tower): you may commence your takeoff, winds over 10 knots. (to tower): 3-8-echo Easy on the brakes. take it easy. it’s gonna roll this time. Just hand the power gradually, and it... Above the planet on a wing and a prayer, My grubby halo, a vapour trail in the empty air, Across the clouds I see my shadow fly Out of the corner of my watering eye A dream unthreatened by the morning light Could blow this soul right through the roof of the night There’s no sensation to compare with this Suspended animation, a state of bliss Can’t keep my eyes from the circling skies Tongue-tied and twisted just an earth-bound misfit, i

How come you are at the head of the pack....? j/k Ice would take that position, if not he would some serious ass... Anyway that would really be a cool scenario, meeting up in dream and wrecking havoc together....Dreamviews vs. The Dream World....

I can't help but think that would make an attractive target!

I'll just throw things at you when you fly past then wait for you to come back then shoot you down and watch you all die. Then I'll go get my cat to do his smelly business on you and you'll come back alive and I'll pretend to go "OH MY! YOU SEEM TO OF ALL FELL UNCONSCIOUS AND LANDED IN CHOCOLATE! QUICK! LICK IT OFF!" And you will lick it off and it will taste bad and I will laugh my butt off and then the cycle starts again, but on the 84353553459th iteration there's a general protection error and operationgetalldvmembersincatpoo.exe will break with an annoying physical dump.
