I, like many, thought there was a genuine card carrying (literally 馃檮) club over on WUS at one stage and spent a little too much time trying to join 馃槦.



How many would now take this as an avatar/username tag-line or signature? 馃榿
Force of what? Donut eating desk diving wannabe astronaut fat dudes? ::stirthepot:: 馃榿

ps - if "Speedmaster-card-carryin" could have fit it would be there too, but it went WAY over 50 characters.

I'd never seen a Speedmaster before I started researching what would become my first Constellation in 2011. I never saw one in the flesh until March of this year. I now own one, but it's not a moon watch, and many here don't give it a second thought. So, I'm the flock of one the next pasture over, I guess. That's fine by me. Buy what you like and wear it with pride.

Don't think the heard is going after this speedy.

It's the second worst Speedmaster.

You take that back. 馃

They're Space Heroes 馃憤
When I think of Speedy I imagine a bunch of slightly overweight engineers eating pretzel chips. I guess that better than what I think of when I see a Sub-- a car salesman at a Mercedes dealership (and I wasn't disappointed last week when I visited a showroom!)

I guess I'm more of a goat. MAHHHH!!

So let me ge this straight. When I joined WUS I was told I needed to print out my card and have it with me at all times. I didn't need to do this? So glad I didn't come off the 1 Euro to have it laminated.

If anyone needs one I have a few of the Timely Calendar Club Cards available.

Apologies for removing the (navel) lint. 馃槈

After La Marina had "explained" what personal space was, the helicopter pilots were keen to not have anything "explained" to them ever again.

Captain is eyeballing La Marina badly, La Marina is pensively looking to Cap for forgiveness. What did happen between La Marina and No2 rotorhead (the guilty looking one)?

That's what YOU think. To me she's telling herself, "who's that dork?" 馃榿

Honest opinion - I don't care what you think of Speedmasters or those who wear them.

Hey now, he's in the right to say what he wants about Speedmaster owners. After all, all of the Speedmaster enthusiasts on OF spend an inordinate amount of their time hating on Constellations and 1950s Audemars Piguet dress watches, right? So turn about is fair play!
