Give Cyrus no points for being a boner.

Give Fred his sympathy points. He needs to call things "airplane" and "sam" because he does not know their proper names.

Why don't you call that V-75 a space ship? Big fire work?
 
  • #316
Whatever, spot.
 
  • #317
I must thank Bystander, at least he gave very good answers during this competition. You can learn much from him Fred.

Can i jump in and school all you guys?
 
  • #319
Okay, here's what I'm doing.

I'm giving 36 to Fred.

6 and 9 are neighbors on the numpad and it's easy to accidentally hit the other one. Besides, I don't believe Messerschmitt ever made a 292, so I think it's unlikely that Fred intended to say "Me 292".

Next...

37 and 38 go to Cyrus.

Bah, you guys can get back to seeing whos the first one who can say a missile pointed up is "SAM"

Why are you still here? G.O. A.W.A.Y. N.O.W

...I'm completely throwing away. I know Cyrus was clearly referring to the Sopwith, but gained an unfair advantage by using a completely non-standard abbreviation (which is the best that can be said of "spot").

So we have Fred with 3 and Cyrus with 6, and there's 39 to decide upon...

I'll concede 39.
 
  • #328
Fine, then give Fred the camel for the spelling.

I pitty that fool anyways.
 
  • #329
...and I'm giving 39 to Cyrus. When I said "keep it short" I didn't mean "leave it ambiguous". SA2 is just as short as SAM.

Cyrus wins by 6 points! [/size]
