Those Pesky Starfighters!

To look at it, like with Vulcan, you'd never
Dream it was well over 50 years old and
still counting! AND the only fighter a/c
you can speak of in the same breath with
Lightning -- STILL!

And those Eye-talians sure can paint a crate,
can't they?

Well, I WILL admit that SM looks
anything BUT "Fragile".

If we DID propel him down that slip-slide
and he Missed the Kiddie Pool, I s'pose
he'd just bounce!

Call-up Lloyds and get a quote!

I'll get ahold of Wham-o and see what's
the biggest Slip-Slide they make!

Then all we need to do is contact the
media and get SM good and Snockered!

Wedgy can handle the Tickets, but EYE get
the BEER Concession!

DXP:

Right "Theme", but I was thinking
something more Stirring, PATRIOTIC
in nature........

I was also imagining a super-sized
Union Jack made of paper we could
shoot him through.....just a thought.
Patriotic Spandex Leotard and Cape --
too VULGAR? Nahhhhhhh! Let's GO
for it!

Also thinking the video rights could be
worth a Fortune! Let's get Cluny going
on that, okay?

I have a few other Fish to Fry just now,
but let's pick this up tomorrow where
we've left off. I SMELL MONEY!!!!!!!!!
