Group Captain Sir Douglas Robert Steuart Bader ( /ˈbɑːdər/) CBE, DSO & Bar, DFC & Bar, FRAeS, DL (21 February 1910 – 5 September 1982) was a Royal Air Force (RAF) fighter ace during the Second World War. He was credited with 20 aerial victories, four shared victories, six probables, one shared probable and 11 enemy aircraft damaged.[1][2]

Bader joined the RAF in 1928, and was commissioned in 1930. In December 1931, while attempting some aerobatics, he crashed and lost both his legs. Having been on the brink of death, he recovered, retook flight training, passed his check flights and then requested reactivation as a pilot. Although there were no regulations applicable to his situation, he was retired on medical grounds.[3] After the outbreak of the Second World War in 1939, however, Bader returned to the RAF and was accepted as a pilot. He scored his first victories over Dunkirk during the Battle of France in 1940. He then took part in the Battle of Britain and became a friend and supporter of Air Vice-Marshal Trafford Leigh-Mallory and his "Big Wing" experiments.

In August 1941, Bader was forced to bail out over German-occupied France and was captured. Soon afterward, he met and befriended Adolf Galland, a prominent German fighter ace.[4] The circumstances surrounding how Bader was shot down in 1941 are controversial. Recent research strongly suggests he was a victim of friendly fire. Despite his disability, Bader made a number of escape attempts and was eventually sent to the POW camp at Colditz Castle. He remained there until the camp was liberated by the First United States Army in April 1945.

Bader left the RAF permanently in February 1946 and later worked in the oil industry. During the 1950s, a book and a film, Reach for the Sky, chronicled his life and RAF career to the end of the Second World War. Bader campaigned for the disabled – for which he was knighted in 1976 – and continued to fly until ill health forced him to stop in 1979. He died three years later, on 5 September 1982, from a sudden heart attack.

he'd knock your balls out your mouth with a roundhouse kick except that he had artficial legs. tried to escape from Nazi prison camps so many times that they confiscated his legs.

It bothers me tremendously that they turned the end of today's Next Iron Chef into a crappy Kikkoman commercial.

I just farted.


Wow, I need to get the fuck off the internet.

I'm glad my monitor died. It forces me to not use my gaming PC. Well, I could just hook it up over here or whatever, but I'm not doing that.
Dude, it's so nice not blowing the rest of the day on PC games.

that's why, after a brief infatuation with single-person games, i quit...i just don't have that kind of time in the world.

I'm so used to automatic doors and faucets that I frequently wait for the same things in my own apartment. I'll be standing in front of a door or with my hands hovering under the faucet like 'why isn't this working?'

[dubkitty]

i'm completely opposite...i'm so used to everything being manual from living in the Little House in the Redwoods and driving a 1986 truck that i'm always trying ways to e.g. flush an antomatic toilet.

It's not worth it, man.
Dig it:



Yeahhhhhhh
I played Battlefield 1942 before getting this tracking thingy, so it's really probably off by a couple hundred hours.
It was really addicting, it's nuts. Battlefield 1942 is the best multiplayer PC game of all time, though.
Am I glad that's behind me. It was truly a dark and pathetic time.
I'll half-ass my way through a game if a really good one comes along, or play a few rounds with the people I met online during that insane period, but otherwise I'm done with it.
I really don't play games much anymore, but it's still nice to not even have the capability to.

I'm afraid that if I ever get a full stack I wouldn't be able to reach the controls on the head and I'd need a little step stool on stage with me.
