For those that don't know what "tout de suite" means. I looked it up!
Meaning
At once.
Origin
French - literal translation
I may have to change my team title to " official word/phrase looker upper"

Hi,
Yes, absolutely "toot sweet" is the post WWII GI-Anglization of "tout de suite", just as "dame" is a GI Anglization of "damen". The phase does mean "immediately".
Best, Mike
Sadly, I note that Randy is still limiting his responses to feeble attempts at scatalogical humor...apparently lacking the wit to generate any sharper repartee. A somewhat startling disparity does seem to exist between his chronological and mental ages.

ps--I am also glad "Red" lives in another neighborhood...I think I wouldn't like his car.

Lincoln too boring?
Dear Red,
When you want to come to Salt Lake City, we can go to the airport and fly some inverted aerobatics until my boring lifestyle and skill set becomes a bit too much for your stomach. I'd be surprised if you last more than five minutes before begging for for a bit more boredom. To get the picture, try to imagine maneuvering your Porsche in three dimensions, and pulling much more than 1 gravity in your three dimensional turns. Oh, and I can arrange we do it in the (German built) glider too, if you'd prefer to try without an engine. Using an engine is so boring some times...especially on a 500 km cross country triangle through Southern Utah. Sort of like simply pressing the right foot and listening to that "fart can" in back...no particular challenge.

Dear Mr. Boyd,
No, but I am related to that revered Republican President Abraham Lincoln...back when being a Republican President meant being an honest and principled public servant. ; )

ad hominem, ad hominem, ad hominem, ad hominem...... ah..... kind of nice just typing that over and over again!!! We should start a word of the day club organized by the doctor evil.
Mike Sh$%tbird Lincoln I should respond to your comment about my misspelled word earlier. (A) I don't think cursing is appropriate on this forum as everyone gets the idea of what it means; (b) you're a sh$%tbird - wanna make something of it (I havn't said that to anyone since junior high).
One last point: you seem to take a strange geeky pleasure in putting down "jocks". I infer from your implication that you are somehow more successful, smarter, happier, etc. than those individuals that had well rounded childhoods that included athletics (and providing you with an inordinate amount of ***-whuppins).
I can't believe you can be related to President Lincoln (probably just more of you delusions of grandeur, you ad hominem Sh$t bird) but if your truly are, my opinion of good old Abe just went down significantly.

Mike,
WHOA touch you... Aren't you special? Like I give a faw@ that you fly planes? I wonder if the decibel level on that plane pollutes the sky with sound? I bet it's louder inside that AWESOME MACHINE than it is in my car, and I bet people are annoyed when you fly over. Of course, they probably laugh when you fly over in a glider, as I would. Take me for a ride oh so special Mike, please?
You remind me of the nerdy kids in highschool that would just come up and talk about how nerdy they are. Who cares? Only they did, and they were the only ones that didn't realize how annoying they were. They would never go away.
Take a hint pilot captain doctor nerd man, go away.

As Henry V said, "Cry havoc and let fly the dogs of (verbal) war"
Dear Randy,
You seem to have an inordinate fondness for pictures of men's derrierres...and you came up with one so quick that I think you must possess a more significant collection of such images than you've let on. Is there any significance in this apparent prediliction of yours that we should all know about?
Red,
"I wonder if the decibel level on that plane pollutes the sky with sound?"...try running your replies past your GED night school teacher first, OK? They're painful to read. Also remember, gliders don't have engines (doh).
Alkolodesh,
Yes, you're so cute when you're inarticulate and mad...and reduced to repeated expletives...just like back in junior high.... Wanna hit me, lummox?*
Again, best to you three chumps,
--Mike
*Phil's done sterling terminology duty today and I don't want to put him out again just on your account, Alkolodesh...a "lummox" is a clumsy or stupid person.

athletic ability
Oh and one thing, Alkodesh...I served on the Alta Ski Patrol for six years...so don't make unwarranted assumptions about a lack of athletic ability on my part, or we'll have to have a session of cliff jumping and chute skiing together.
