Yesterday I made it out the the SMASH (Southwest Michigan Association Spacemodeling Hobbyists) "Custer Buster" meet, where among other tings, they held Future/Fiction scale as an official NAR event. Was this the first in the country? Anyway, the meet pitted my 1/320 scale Nova against Kelo Wavio's Friede from "Frau im Mond," modified from an Estes Fat Boy. Neither of us reached the Moon, but both got qualified flights. Both built at the last minute, but I managed to take first. If it was, in fact, the only F/F Scale event held so far, this makes me the reigning champion of F/F scale until next week when NSL holds the event with more than 2 people. Ooh, I'm so cool.
Of course on the way home, tuning the radio around, I heard some song with a line that went "so you're a rocket scientist--I'm not impressed."

Yeah, I've heard that one too. The woman singing (don't know who it is yet) goes on with a litany of things: So you've got a car, So your rich, etc. and doesn't seem too darned impressed with anything. Actually she's looking for the man whose "got the touch" or something. She'll never find out if she doesn't get past her superficial hang-ups. (:0\

The actual line is "So you're a rocket scientist.....that don't impress me much". It's Shania Twain, and I'm getting sick of the song because the station my teenage daughter listens to plays it about once an hour it seems.
Of course, the fact that the version they play mentions one of the station's dj's might have something to do with it. :-P
