I think we've all heard this quote time to time. A number of pilots have put it in their bios and in their forum signatures. Let's be honest it's a hilarious mental image and it somewhat accurately describes most Minmatar ships.

Now the real question is...who originally said this? I know it was in a forum from circa 2006-2007. I actually remember reading it when it was originally posted. But it's been lost to time.

Just wondering if anyone has better google powers than me and can find it? I'd really love to find that thread just to bookmark it for posterity.

I'd start by searching for "uzi" at omgrawr.net.

Quality statement, but I think it may be invalid post-Dominion. I believe now, the proper description would be:

Flying minmatar is like going down a flight of stairs strapped to an office chair, firing a punt gun.
