Impotent, you?

Slack the waist line on your skirt (look at your avatar...), and things should return to normal!

hmmm, okay, here we go;
looking in the ieSpell dictionary,
impotent,
a : not potent : lacking in power, strength, or vigor : helpless
i think i was referring to the lack of power part,
although...no, we won't go there.
this is a family forum.

next,
for your information, Sir,
it's a tutu,
not a skirt.
and it's the damn tights, man.
the tights is tooo tight.

but i don't listen to them
cause my head is like a sieve.

i must have been editing...

please notice how it is perpendicular from the waist.
definitely a tutu.
 
Hey Fellas,

Show some respect to Marvin our friendly Martian. His "Tutu" is really armour called "Pteryges". For some reason, the Martians seem to like to wear ancient Greek armour.

And a HouseHobbit too..
I have limited experience with the non combat sims, but I will say that they do pose a nice change from Air combat..
That is if you like flying in circles..:icon_lol:
Opps.. off to hide..
On goes the Ring..:pop4:

Welcome Hobbit, We will soon fill up this round table. After all you can't have a real round table without an in house Hobbit. I figure Merlin the Minuteman, so we will have our wizard. Now just need something to fit No Dice ?

This is getting fun
 
To go a bit further in the art of splitting tutus...

Pteryges (or pteruges) are the dangling leather strip attached to a Cinculum Militaire, an apron-like belt that Roman soldiers would wear more as a fashion accessory, to hold their tunic so some private parts would remain private, rather than any real armoring of the ancient Greeks.

Depending on their fortune and rank, they would add pteryges to their belt. Full 360° Cinculum Militaire were reserved to high-ranking generals or Caesar... or, as smilo's avatar shows, green dogs with a helmet adorned with a brush.

You'd be surprised by how much "lazy flying" I logged in CFS1. After FS98, it was very gratifying to fly an aircraft that was not "on rails".

In CFS1, the FS stands for Flight Simulator after all.
 
Most of my flying these days is around in circles around or near an island airfield in Hawaii. On occasion, I go combat test against the computer, but most of the time it is simple test flying around the island. The scenery is attractive and low complexity, so it works very well for my old computer. So far today there have been a bunch of fairly short hops in a Fokker E.III Eindecker and a bunch of longer ones in a Republic P-47D-27:
331 mph @ 500 ft
431 mph @ 25,000 ft
WEP:
347 mph @ 500 ft
437 mph @ 22,500 ft


Pteryges were not just a Roman accessory. They started as laminated fabric or leather strips worn as a skirt like thing that the Greek Hoplites wore. The rest of Marvin's armour looks more Greek than Roman to me.

Why don't we just ask Marvin?

- Ivan the Martian.
 
Marvin the Martian and his companion, K-9, are both wearing a Roman helmet. Ancient Greek helmet (kranos) were one-piece bronze with nose and cheeks protection, sometimes adorned with a crest of horsehair going front to back and directly applied on top of it. Roman brass or bronze helmets (galea) had sometimes hinged cheek plates and a visor at forehead's height, like our two fellows. The crest on a baton was also a Roman feature. At Wikipedia, the Roman soldier appearance is duly noted. Marvin and K-9 are, after all, coming from Mars, not Ares.
