MaCleod, since you’ve flown
MaCleod, since you’ve flown the SeaBee a lot you’ll understand when I say it was the only airplane I ever owned that you could put in a dive, loose a cylinder and stall out! Ernest K. Gann
Cylinders
These abnormal aspects included
These abnormal aspects included the shapes of UFOs and their behavior. Most of the UFOs seen in the daytime were said to have had simple geometric shapes-discs, ovals, spheres, cylinders-and surfaces that looked like metal. Such shapes are not only nonexistent among known aircraft, but contrary to all known theories of flight, in most cases … Read more
my pleasure was in the
my pleasure was in the strength of my back, in my noble shoulders, the cool smooth flesh cylinders of my arms. Denise Levertov
As music becomes less
As music becomes less of a thing–a cylinder, a cassette, a disc–and more ephemeral, perhaps we will begin to assign an increasing value to live performances again. David Byrne

The needle of the machmeter fluctuated at this reading momentarily, then passed off the scale. Assuming that the off-scale reading remained linear, it is estimated that 1.05 Mach was attained at this time. Chuck … Read more
A good actor is
A good actor is like a racehorse or a Ferrari. If a cylinder is missing on a Chevy, it’s doesn’t matter that much. But if something’s not working right on a Ferrari, it makes a big difference. It’s the three percent that makes the difference between good and great. It’s a fine line. If you’re … Read more
George Lazenby is no
George Lazenby is no one’s favorite James Bond, but for me the anonymity at the center of this lavish production only serves to reveal the Bond machine firing on all cylinders: superb editing and photography, incredible score, great setpieces. The most romantic in the series, and it actually has, of all things, a tragic ending. … Read more
He was fortunate to
He was fortunate to fight me on a bad night because if he fights me when I’m firing on all cylinders, he’s getting battered as well. Carl Froch
