Pffft who needs landing gear!

Pontoons!! That's the way to go, you can even dispense with the annoying aircraft carrier as a bonus.

He's not my king! I didn't vote for him!

Wait. President, you say?

Well, I didn't vote for him either!

Takeda Shingen · 01-25-11, 06:17 AM

He'd have my vote.

Actually, it's been proven by strict LOLwaffle testing that the pontoon version of the JU-52 is fully amphibious:

Furthermore, our chief researcher, Raptor1 has discovered a new form of martial art, Flying-boat-fu.

As you can see, my fellow subsimmians, the way forward is not always potato salad, but sometimes prawn cocktail.

We must, if we are to survive the upcoming struggles, be adaptive to the situation...I am not saying to you to abandon potato salad, I myself do partake in the eating of potato salad on occasion, however due to the fiscal situation we must be aware that variation is the key to success, so that we may boost the prawn cocktail industry whilst maintaining the high standards that we hold the potato salad industry in.

Do not believe the fascist lies, comrades! Potato salads and prawn cocktails, they are clear symbols of the corruption of the Oberonist regime! For too long have the tyrants fed us propaganda of "upcoming struggles" and "fiscal situations", so that we may not complain while they secretly revel in their own decadence. But we shall tolerate these lies no longer! Rise up, People of Subsim! Rise up against the oppression!

Only if it's the real stuff, I hate that phony "maple flavored" crap.

It's kind of cold out now. Can we put it off until, say, late April? It will give us some time for Raptor to think up some slogans.

Yeah, what he said. It's snowing right now, and I don't do revolutions when it's snowing.
