Ja! <<Schwanz>> hat zwei Bedeutungen.

And Pickle gets a two-for-one on the Tilt-o-Meter!

Wear long pants and stuff it down a leg like Sette from Unsounded.

And once again, our Pickle comes through with that combo of Blackthorn wisdom and Little Kid logic.

Maybe the walnut-sized bundle of nerves at the base of her spine that controls her tail is what folks are referring to when they call her bird-brain...

This is going to be a lot of fun if the tail ends up liking Castella better than Atsali...

In WWII the US had a plane called the P-38 Lightning... the Germans called it Der Gabelschwanz teufel (The Fork Tailed Devil). Atsali has a spade at the end of her tail... Der Spaten beschattete Teufel?

My favorite Allied aircraft of WWII...

Remember Ms Tentacle?

Or Spinnarette's bottom left hand, Bottom Lefty. Or pretty much any of the other examples of the old Organ Autonomy Trope.

That's the one in the back of the pack.


It made for a rather interesting transformer for one of the Bayformer movie toylines. I forget which one, though.

The P-38 as flown by the Allies in WWII against Germans
414 MPH top speed
Range 1,300 miles
Max altitude/ceiling 44,000 ft
1- 20 MM auto-cannon with 150 rounds
4- Browning M2 machines guns .50 cal and 500 rounds per gun
4- under wing mounts for rockets, guns, fuel or bombs up to 2,000 lbs
Although capable of higher speeds in a dive, the P-38 was prone to going too fast and being unable to pull out of the dive.
Pilots were warned against high-speed dives due to the aerodynamic instability of the aircraft

The ME-109 as flown by said Germans
398 MPH top speed
Range 365 miles
Max altitude/ceiling 39,370 ft
2- .51 call machine guns with 300 rounds per gun
1- 20 MM auto-cannon with 200 rounds (or on .37 mm gun with 65 rounds)
2- under wing mounts up to 550 lbs of guns, rockets, fuel or bombs

The ME-109 could dive faster than a p-38, so the only way to escape was to do a half-s and head for the deck, hoping that they wouldn't want to follow.

So yes, "The Fork Tailed Devil" was an appropriate nick name.

Castela can have a second sister!

Or the tail might decide that it doesn't like Nadette, and that it likes somebody else instead.

Then there are the ones that are basically two entire fuselages joined at the wing, such as the Twin Mustang that I saw at an Air Force base in Texas once.

Reach! Double penalty to the jar.

It is clearly a revolutionary event for Sali. That would make it a tail of two titties.

Drop a tail leash into the jar.

with bowed head he drops his copies of Barlowe's Guide to Fantasy and Barlowe's Guide to Extraterrestrials into the pun jar. soon as yall turn your back you know i am gonna go pun jar diving.

The P-38 (another fine product of Lockheed) also has the distinction of having been used in what might be the longest range assassination of WWII.
When the U.S. intercepted Adm. Isoroku Yamamoto's flight plans, P-38s were sent to shoot him down because they had the range to do it.

I always wondered if the semi autonomous things like bottom lefty on spinnerette were controlled by the subconscious mind.

How could even the most modesty aware minds these days not know about submarines?

love these old warbirds. The owner of the company i used to work for has the largest collection of privately owned warbirds in the US. This was the twin mustang you were speaking of.
