#1 Saw this demo at the Vidalia Air show. I didn't want to wait in the VERY long line, but my #2 son did, and did very well.

Assholes trying to look big by challenging someone much bigger than they are, confident that if they are smacked down (easy to do), they'll just run crying to their congressman to lodge a protest.

#2 I think the people upset about something like this refer to that literature as graphic novels and take them quite seriously; well as seriously as mid 20 and 30 somethings can when not playing 'Hail to the Chimp'. They probably get the subterranean homesick blues and don't need no weatherman to tell them which way the wind blows.

#3 The people who are calling for the boycott of the air show are the kind of people who don't go to air shows anyway because why would anyone want to hang around in the hot sun just to look at a bunch of airplanes? They define the English word wankers.

#4 Besides, if they boycott the video game, that will mean the lines will be shorter.

#5 and if they try to physically block access to the simulator, you can warmup your defensive hand-to-hand skillz. Throat punch might be in order, eye-gouge held in reserve, k?

#6 Frank, I doubt that will be a problem - when I was at the Sacramento air show in March, the line looked like it was hours long. Anybody trying to block access would be REALLY sorry.
