I'm Stephen, I'm 18 and I'm currently in Texas. I've had a fascination with WWII for as long as I can remember, although there is a ton I still need to learn. I focus on Aircraft, mainly on Luftwaffe and USAAF. Armor is my next interest, I love German armor specifically, and one day if I ever get a whole load of money, I want a Kettenkrad... Haha. Anyway, I've always loved the battle of Stalingrad, but I'd love to know the details of it. As for other things, I skateboard, I collect 1:32 WWII scale replicas, records, different militaria, and I'm planning on buying an AK-47 once I get a job, as I love to shoot guns. I've always shot hunting rifles and now I want something with a little more brutality. I just want an AK 'cause it's the only frickin' military semi-auto rifle I can afford. Anyway, that's me for the most part... Thanks for letting me be a part of this incredible forum!
Howdy and welcome to the forum from a fellow Texan. You will definitely get a lot from the guys here. Hang out and happy posting. Salute!
I swear everyone on this forum is from Texas. Welcome aboard Stephen. You will learn a lot here and you will most likely teach us a thing or two as well.
Welcome to the site. Col, "we Texans" can't help it if every other State in the Onion ;-) is so much smaller than that of Texas.
Welcome to the Texas Forums ! Have you been to the Lone Star Flight Museum in Galvestion ? If not go there soon, you won't be sorry !
We are way over the quota Slip, time to get der PanzerPenguin in here to start thinning out the ranks. Pmp40fire: Welcome aboard AlloySkull, :S! glad to have you with us. Lovely avatar by the way.
Thanks guys, and is this forum really that Texan-laden? Seems like I'll fit right in. Oh, and yes, I've been to the Lone Star Flight Museum several times, and I've been to the Midland Air Museum once, on a road trip, and I finally saw an Me-109. I was one day off from their air show, and we were on a tight schedule, and on that day I could have been able to sit in the frickin' 109! Ah, but at least I got to oogle at it and I took some pics that are in an album right now. Thanks again for the warm welcome!
Welcome to the forum Alloy. And Slipdigit, what part of the "Bamma" are you from?..used to live in Columbus, Mississippi, not to far from the Bama state line..
Well you know the old saying, Can't around Texans for too long but you sure don't want to get in a fight without them. I forgot who said that.
I live near Montgomery, across the Tallapoosa River in Elmore County. I grew up outside Greenville, in Butler County, about 60 miles away. Do any of you need this translated? I'll go ahead and help y'all out. While I hold no malice toward the great state of Texas, I would prefer to partake of the gastronomical delight, known as "barbeque", that is prepared by the local residents of my home state.
The lesser known, but better tasting, Alabama style. I don't care much for the dry rub. I want to get the sauce all over me.
