Location: Midland, MI | I like using the cutesy smiley faces. But, there are only 9 of then. That's lame. Some boards have hundreds. And I know UBB supports far more. Who else is with me? Shall we mutiny? |

As has been pointed out, we are not some boards :)
I really wish I could just put an old fashioned : with ) and not have it turn into a stupid smiley face. Never understood graphic smileys or avatars. |

Location: New Mexico | Smileys are cool and can help reflect the intent of your message and possibly help you avoid being part of a skeet shoot. PULL... But maybe something related to the forum would be cool..

Location: Upper Left USA | the minimal amount of greamlins found here is refreshing. Many boards go... overboard.
By using the "Quick Reply" feature most will not use them. |

Figured out what you were talking about - but have to admit my first conscious thoughts upon reading the question were
Gremlins. A reference to unexplained problems in the electrical systems of WWII aircraft,
followed by
Gremlins. A dubious automotive product of American Motors (in metallic avocado green - the so-called "leisure suit on wheels").
So that's what those darned things are called!
Strongly agree with the sentiment that we ain't some boards -
maybe we should use tablature instead...

Location: Midland, MI | The AM Gremlin I remember most vividly was the 'Wrangler Jeans' model from the mid-70s. Complete wtih denim interior and faux yellow stitching on the outside.
cliff: That cartoon is great. The part where he pulls the 'air brake' is priceless. |

Location: NJ | The Gremlin was cool . . . . but it was no Pacer ;-)
Was that the one with the "air brakes"?
I thought that the plane stopped before hitting the ground because it ran out of gas - it had an "A" Card (gas rationing during WWII).
I gotta do some research . . . |
