Yamerhaw: pronounced yah-mur-haw


was leaving a gas station on my first R1 and started to get on my bike, when some old hillbilly says "so you're riding one of them yah-mur-haw's, i say yeah, thats about it

Long story short, it was a name of a character from a book that I never read, but I liked the sound of the name, so it stuck..

Used to be called Pootiestang on all my Mustang forums. Play on Pootytang the movie.

Eventually grew tired of being called Pooty and changed over to Quick281. Mustang's engine in cubic inches.

I used math

If P(x) is a cubic polynomial such that P(-3)=P(-1)=P(2)=0 and P(0)=6, find P(x).

Well I found P(x) and it equals derf

Dude, your math is all off.

The answer to life, the universe, and everything is 42.

Duh.

blatantly fucking obvious. if im not early enough to a board to get dave i take Khajjathefang, who was the third encountered kilrathi ace in wing commander 1 (and the most satisfying dogfight, krants never live long under a raptor's guns)

Khajja nar Ja'targk

AKA: Machine, Khajja The Fang

Spacecraft: Krant

Bio: Khajja the Fang is not-so-affectionately called “Machine” by Terran intelligence. He is the most efficient, mission-oriented pilot the Kilrathi have. He pilots a Krant medium fighter.

Strengths: Khajja's greatest asset is his clear thinking. He never panics or falters and appears to have utter confidence in his wingmen. He is not vulnerable to taunts, goads or insults.

Weaknesses: Khajja's faith in his wingmen may be misplaced. Analysis indicates that some Kilrathi pilots may be afraid of him. He will single-mindedly ignore incoming ships in order to concentrate on a strike objective, meaning that he might ignore you.

Tactics: Khajja prefers straight-in, straight-out strafing approaches. He uses his laser cannon for most encounters, saves his heat-seekers for mission objectives or particularly troublesome enemies, and saves his friend-or-foe missile for emergencies.

Recommendation: If he's approaching a mission objective, you might get a free shot by eluding his wingmen. If he's moving in on you, use classic dogfight tactics. Try to outfly and outshoot him, or lead him toward unengaged friendlies. He doesn't like bad odds.
