So there I was, flying my CH147 Apache Combat Helicopter. We were going as fast as we could, that is to say...

with the collective full down and the stick all the way back.  I pressed hard against the rotor petals for extra speed.  I was in the left seat, that is, I was in charge of the aircraft.  Taking it as low as I dared, I skimmed the grass by just inches.  Flying in the desert at night is no easy feat. 

I came over a sandy white dune with the sun at my 12 o clock.  Sun glaring through my NVGs, I saw little helmets poking out of the sand like gophers.  One by one, I locked on to their heat signatures with my Helfire missiles.  I got off 42 and chalked up another 30 by switching to guns.

I was alone, of course, which was our tactic in Iraq.  "The Lone Rangers", we called ourselves.  That way, the enemy would never know what direction we were coming from.  I encoutered little resistance for the remaining 12 hour flight into Baghdad.  Now at just over 1/2 tanks of fuel, I only had a few minutes on station.  I wreaked as much havok in the time I had.  Taking out Iraqi National Guardsmen with pinpoint precision with my on board sniper pod was easy.  Shooting them through windows of buildiings was the challenge.  The phased array radar did a great job at sorting through which returns had weapons and which did not.  All I had to do was point and shoot.  Uncontested, I flew home without a scratch.  After a successful carrier landing I debriefed the Ship's Captain and went to the galley for a drink.  By now, I was pretty thirsty.  Walk in the park, Nancy.

The end.

PROBLEM/ERROR, whilst trying to BUY AVNG3, my screen flashed several times, dragging the cursor towards the right. I try to click on BUY... {nm} TheFox Feb 14, 20:15

But instead some myserious force drags the cursor towards SHORT/COVER and trade WRONGLY goes through as SHORT. {nm} TheFox Feb 14, 20:27

Toy knowledge I did not make this trade. To reverse even more cruely get charged to COVER as well as SHORT. {nm} TheFox Feb 14, 20:30

This has happened before but I have let it go because commision was a lot smaller. Can this trade be fixed & the commision REversed? ty g {nm} TheFox Feb 14, 20:33

Is this a joke? {nm} ndmaster Feb 14, 21:17

serious ...has not happeneed to me for awhile until now on the most expensive IPO ever. geez Saturday/sundays were commision free. {nm} TheFox Feb 14, 23:03

Saturdays/Sundays stopped being commission free about 5 years ago {nm} RazorHawk Feb 15, 07:01

Sounds like a browser and mouse/touchpad problem- if this continues you might want to turn on trade confirmation so you can check before you Bugs Feb 14, 20:57

It sure does. Wet fingers (even slightly) could be the cause if it's a touchpad? I know that if I've just taken a sip of a tasty beverage... Willroast Feb 15, 00:06

That's nothing. I lost MILLIONS on AMSNP because of the pull down menu! You are concerned about 350K. Bahaaha! That's peanuts, I tell you. Rocket123 aka PVL Admin Feb 15, 16:09

...also cost me top trader of the week on Kaigee (short by $2 million). {nm} Rocket123 aka PVL Admin Feb 15, 16:10

HUH? (AMSNP) was not even Released the Week you were #2 - the Week Ended 12/03/14. RotoHockeyYTD2014 Feb 15, 20:57

It's Easy to Mis-Remember. News Anchors do it ALL-THE-TIME. Maybe that's the Reason for the Suspension. {nm} Brian Williams, formerly of NBC Feb 15, 21:34

Oh, wait, I forgot to buy TOY4 that week and missed by 2 mil. Still lost a shi t load of money on AMSNP, which was the point Rocket123 aka PVL Admin Feb 16, 01:00

Mixing your Stories up then. Easy to do. News Anchors do it ALL-THE-TIME. Perhaps you Meant (TOYS4). {nm} Brian Williams, formerly of NBC Feb 16, 06:04

Nice to Meet You, Pot. {nm} Kettle Feb 16, 09:51

Looking Forward to his Iraqi Helicopter Story. Brian Williams, formerly of NBC Feb 16, 10:37

Oh, you think I'm lying. Now I get it. Nope just an HONEST mistake of mixing up my movie events. Both happened. Rocket123 aka PVL Admin Feb 16, 10:49

HAHAHA. That's Exactly what Happened with that Iraqi Helicopter Story - Just Mixed up Helicopters. Brian Williams, formerly of NBC Feb 16, 11:06

Not fabricated. You used those words, I did not. True stories, just mixed up. Unlike your NBC alter ego, I have evidence. Rocket123 aka PVL Admin Feb 16, 11:28

Here's my chart too. Thanks for giving me an oportunity to show off my chart. Rocket123 aka PVL Admin Feb 16, 11:40

HAHAHA. Good One. Brian Williams, formerly of NBC Feb 16, 12:29

There are 20 factual errors in that post. Keep looking. {nm} Awards Fund Feb 16, 12:30

Nice Touch. Quite Enjoyable. NBC would be so Proud. Brian Williams, formerly of NBC Feb 16, 13:25

Para 1 (6/6); Para 2 (3/6); Para 3 (7.5/8) - 9, 13, 20 incorrect. 14 is only partially correct Rocket123 aka PVL Admin Feb 16, 14:03

Hmph! I thought more people would play along... here's the answers. Rocket123 aka PVL Admin Feb 16, 18:25

You know a lot about helicopters, the sun, and military stuff. {nm} Chateau_du_Mal_Voisin Feb 19, 12:01

So, I was called a liar and my posts were challenged. I provided proof that my claims were legit. According to the rules of Scrabble, either {nm} Honest Abe Feb 18, 14:49

<BANG!!!!!!> OH MY GOD!!! They killed Honest Abe!!! {nm} Kyle Broflovski Feb 19, 09:24
