Bi Slob
Dave Hull:
Now then, Mr. C'Bert'son, them folk at Aggressive 'Pendage Choppers (APC) have them gray jobs available to everybody, in all kind of wiggly shapes. Same with nuts. Lots of shiny nuts out there.... You can't be defamaging a Slobber on account of a gray prop and shiny nuts!
But the crux of the issue is that if we accept that it's 'lectrick and not a comboostyon en-jine, as the condition of the shirts and especially the pants would indicate, then it just can't be a slob. I suppose we could compromise on that if, before each flight, they squirted an ounce or two of Baker's Grade AA castor ayle onto the fuselage and Dubble wings...? But they gotta spill some on their pants and rub their hands on their shirts, too....

PS--And what the Sam Hill is that a pitcher of you sent? Looks like a cross between an Elco and a Raptor, but missing the cow catcher, handrails and mud tires? Still, it looks like some serious gear! And, it must be able to drive itself to the field with a gravity-fed gas tank that big. Mebbe the owner(s) could give some pointers to Elon about the 'tonnonomouse nagivation...?

And it wasn't even the largest box on the field that day! Gotta love electric.

You say that it is possible to be Slobbin' with a 'lectric motorification. Wouldn't that be Cleanin'? Seems like the Felix Unger of Dubble Wingurrrr's....
And not quite sure this story is all on the up-n-up. That field box is pulled right up to the plane, but:
--It's got an electric starter. Now, my English isn't always spot on, but them ain't starters for 'lectric motors, but a 'lectric motor for startin' a combustication-type En-Jine.
--It's got not one, but at least two glow-fuelly squirting devices. Don't try tellin' me it's for lubricatin' the bearings.... I fell off'n the turnip wagon more'n a month ago, you know....
--It's got one of them glow ignitors in there, too. Don't think they put them on to recharge them Bat'trees...?
So I kinda doubtful here about that being an actual Slob.

And a top of the morning to you my good man! Yessss ... rest assured it 'tis powered with a myriad of those tiny, tiny little, very little electron and proton thingys!! However as to the box ... there are some habits quite difficult to break, wouldn'tchu agree? You know ... walking while listing to port or starboard so that one might counterbalance one's pristine championship model, eh? Pip Pip and Cherrio LL~ LL~
