This is my Creed

Postby Mobius » Tue Nov 04, 2014 9:37 pm

This is my Cobra. There are many like it, but this one is mine.
My Cobra is my best friend. It is my life. I must master it as I must master my life.
My Cobra, without me, is useless. Without my Cobra, I am useless.
I must Fly my Cobra true. I must shoot straighter than my enemy who is trying to kill me.
I must shoot him before he shoots me. I will...
My Cobra and I know that what counts in war is not the rounds we fire, the noise of our burst, nor the smoke we make.
We know that it is the hits that count. We will hit...
My Cobra is human, even as I, because it is my life.
Thus, I will learn it as a brother.
I will learn its weaknesses, its strength, its parts, its accessories, its sights and its Engine.
I will keep my Cobra clean and ready, even as I am clean and ready.
We will become part of each other. We will...
I swear this creed.
My Cobra and I are the defenders of my space.
We are the masters of our enemy.
We are the saviors of my life.
So be it, until victory is mine and there is no enemy, but peace!

“I must not fear. Fear is the mind-killer. Fear is the little-death that brings total obliteration. I will face my fear. I will permit it to pass over me and through me. And when it has gone past I will turn the inner eye to see its path. Where the fear has gone there will be nothing. Only I will remain.”

(sorry no picture)

My Viper is poised, although fangs retracted
Whilst scanning for danger, alert to all quarters
She slips among the debris of the foolish
Who dared put a test to her venom of light.

I like your one Mobius, I'm looking to get a cobra myself when I've saved enough money and when I do I'll probably adopt yours. For now mine would have to be:

"Right ready and willing to do for half a crown what any other man would do for a shilling."

Nope, you all need a Ford Hauler Transit, then you can chuck your chip wrappers, crisp packets, drink cans, etc into the empty passenger seat well.

My Creed is "Can I get there before the Pub shuts?"

Yeah, and also you need someone, probably drunk with a traffic cone on his/her head, to etch "CLEAN ME!" into the Hauler's hull's layer of space dust with a finger whilst it's in the docking bay.

If you're going to rip off Kubrick films surely 2001 would be more appropriate.

"Open the mini bar doors, HAL."?

This is my Hauler
It's a bit smaller
Than an Anaconda
From the Rhondda
And it's not that much of a brawler.
