Just before I retired, a fairly young officer liked to use "jet" a lot.

Mine was always...

“Triple digit domain”

I was young and had a foot made of uranium.
Now I am older, but still have some half life left in the left foot! Just a bit harder when you drive a Camry.

One exclamation, I heard Phil Liggett blurt out during one of the Armstrong years at TDF I find myself repeating...(lay on the thick Brit lilt and turn the volume up to 9...)

“He’s racing down the course like an F1 motor cah’!”

I always liked the one.

Stand on it!

I remember a race commentary by Jackie (the Flying Scot) Stewart saying,”he’s being sucked, literally sucked around the track at 160 to 180 MPH. Can you imagine what that must feel like!”

Pickin’ ‘em up and layin’ ‘em down.



"If you’re a leader, you lead the way. Not just on the easy ones; you take the tough ones too…” – MAJ Richard D. Winters (1918-2011), E Company, 2nd Battalion, 506th Parachute Infantry Regiment, 101st Airborne

"Woe to those who call evil good, and good evil... Therefore, as tongues of fire lick up straw and as dry grass sinks down in the flames, so their roots will decay and their flowers blow away like dust; for they have rejected the law of the Lord Almighty and spurned the word of the Holy One of Israel." - Isaiah 5:20,24

Around Flint Mi, when I was younger, if you were doing at least triple digits you were:

Running like a MFr
Busting a$$/ bustin’ It
Chooglin’
Smokin’
Tearin’ it up
Flyin’ low
Gone (man, that dude is gone)
Humpin’ it
Shittin’ n Gittn’
Jammin’
Out for a putt

If you were doing 150+ on 2 or 4 wheels you were:
screechin’
redlinin’ it
wailin/wailin’ it
Insane




Never be more than one step away from your sword-Old Greek Wisdom

"I vowed to myself to fight against evil more completely and more wholeheartedly than I ever did before. . . . That’s the only way to pay back part of that vast debt, to live up to and try to fulfill that tremendous obligation."
