With this baby I can reach hit 300 MPH...

Where are the brakes?

Watch out on the landings. With that streamlined shell you might become airborne at that speed.

No need for brakes. I just rotate my directional vents backwards to slow myself to a stop. I go from 300 to 0 in 1 second.

It's not a problem. Rapid flight provides a handy escape from danger if needed. Chickens could learn something from me.

Yes, that is what a number of cartoon characters keep on saying. I'm sure you know which ones.

It never works out. That's why only Acme sells jetpacks and portable jet engines without a robust braking mechanism -- which FTR factors in the need to bleed off your speed across sufficient time and distance to avoid crumpling you like a tin can in a car compactor.

The good thing is that when it overheats, we have turtle baked in the shell. Yum, yum!

If a turtle doesn't have a shell, is he homeless or naked?

Who said I got my jet engine from ACME? I got my engine from the Miracle Corporation (if it works, it's a Miracle).

I said it. Because having extensively reviewed the catalogs (and hidden catalogs) of MiracleCo, ACME, and several other more obscure vendors, as well as as the more mundane vendors... I still haven't seen anyone other than ACME offer such nonsense.


This is more of a miracle than even MiracleCo will risk -- and that's saying a lot!
So I must respectfully challenge your assertion that you obtained said engine from MiracleCo -- I think someone pulled a fast one on you.

Interesting how ACME and MIRACLE use some of the same letters.
1. MIRACLE
2. M__AC_E
3. ACME

Maybe ACME buys MIRACLE'S rejects?

You are on the right trail.

████ is in fact a dumping ground for the stuff even MiracleCo can't sell -- they give up in holy despair and shunt it over to their ███████████████. But of course, this is a closely guarded secret, for all the obvious reasons.

One can't take your assertions seriously when you black out names.
But I understand both ACME and MiracleCo make great products that you guys just can't use right. You guys have been buying from them for years - haven't yet caught me!
Those shares I own in ACME and MiracleCo have nothing to do with anything..

I get many things right. Among the things I get right is: I don't mess with chickens. (View my posting history.)
Another is: I have never bought anything from either of those companies. I take super-science seriously, and only buy materials from reputable suppliers.



As for the blacked-out names, I would like to know how the @&%!#$ that happened clearly MiracleCo doesn't want dangerous information to get out.

I wonder what their hold is on Alex?

So much effort, so little achieved.
Why do you bother?

Is this meant to be a reply to me? I ask because if so, it doesn't seem to make much sense... but if not, who are you talking to?
