I'd be vastly more likely to attempt to take the train =]. It might be feasible!

Do I get Turquoise?

Well either way just as long as your on the move, seeing differnet country and joking with convenience store clerks(or their equivalant on the trian ride) listening to music so much your getting sick of it, and eating food from a sack it's all good.

"Turquoise" is yours, Torrere.

I'm thinking thats the least of our problems.

wolf enough people already think you're lost without writing it on your back.

Can i be tampon?

No prob. I have your artistic license right here which, of course, includes all vehicles real and imagined.

And jag, jeni's our tampon, (dammit!) She will bring the energy and pride necessary for the dynamic interpretation of feminine protection.

I'm not lost. I'm "discombobulated". :P

Depends how nice you are to them during/after start. An abused turbine is more likely to throw a blade.

I'd suggest getting hold of the POH if you wanna fly one, at least you'll know how to feather it. I've got 1 hour in KC-135 (simulator)...but that's a turbojet; no prop to feather.

Feathering position should be labelled right on the throttle quadrant on the prop controls. IIRC, all multi-engine planes have that, unless they changed something. I should just pull the blade angle to maximum, full, or whatever it says there.

I remember my engine-out training even though I have yet to go for my ME rating. I also have to pad my SE time a bit before I can upgrade to my IFR ticket, which is next after passing my BFR. The rules state I cannot be rated until I have 200 hours TT in VFR...I can, however, train under the hood.

I hesitate to bring this up but isn't Jag a red head?

:eek:

A lot of people say he's a stuck-up cunt, but..

Joke! Joke, it was a joke.

Now see...! Jeni would bring a subtle dynamism to her interpretation of the role. Perhaps gently dragging a string along behind her... Wait a minnit, who's vagina?

Wouldn't being a tampon make Jeni a dyke? ;)

(Maybe this should have been placed in the Tasteless Jokes thread.)

I thought we all agreed to give up on this meaningless convention of topical threads...Anarchy!

Damnit, my case of army surplus berets just showed up. I suppose the latte concession is screwed as well? grumble grumble note to self order Boris and Natasha balloons

I'm STILL waiting for that latte, damnit!

On a certain news channel right now is a story about a guy who did this exact same thing, but with COWS.

Within days of each other... there are no new ideas in this world.

What's that UT? The poetry on animals?

My project is unique in that it 1) involves humans as opposed to livestock and 2) involves moshing in a well-known city park. :)

I'd offer to show up and take any unclaimed verb, but if I do, then no one will show up other than me and maybe Maggie and Wolf.

Brian

You're not that scary honey ...

apparently I am. Look in the Cities section under Philadelphia for the GTG I tried to start.

Dead silence is the appropriate term. I had to go FIND Maggie to meet even ONE Cellarite. I know you're out there.

I understand that the global nature of the Internet allows us users from all over and I forgive anyone not living within one hour of Phila for not coming. But if you live nearby, you should have at least RESPONDED! I don't expect you to drop your life and come a-runnin just cause I happen to blow into town without notice, but a response...an RSVP if you will would be nice.

No I'm not hurt either.

Brian

For the record, I'm social phobic and afraid of everybody equally. Yes even you, yes even though I gave you a couch.

I'm not buying that excuse Toad ...

I met you.

At a Cellar GTG. (Dinty Moore's in fact)

Admitedly, we used to do more stuff together in the good, old dialup days ... jively, adamzion, cerberus, jerry, ruthie (TITS! (oops, sorry ruthie), russoto, editor, keymaster and gatekeeper, and a whole bunch o' folks whose names I'm not remembering very clearly. Heck, we could fill the old front section of Michael's Deli in KoP.

And Bri ... you know I'm not scared of you. We done stuff together more than once. Even things involving live ammo. Heck, we've been to each other's houses more time than I can count when you were living up here!

My big problem is my goofy work schedule. Working nights is not conducive to having even the sort of sad, demented social life of many Cellar participants. I also often don't know that I'm going to be working some weekend nights.

I need to win the lottery.

Yabbut it's been seven years since then, and every seven years every molecule in your body is completely changed out so you're an entirely different person.

Well that was an old tale someone tole me anyway.

I am different from then. Not as different as Mags, but different anyway. Mostly, I think, not in good ways; it's been a difficult time.

Let me then be a little early to wish you joy, luck and blessings for the holiday season, and particularly that with the solstice and the new year you will begin to experience the growth and healing that you need. May the return of the light nourish you.

Admitedly not my usual sort of post, but it's from the heart.

Argh, such secrecy! Toad, I want to know "the rest of the story". It sounds very interesting. Plus, you sorta make me feel like I barely know you.

The problem with letting out too many details about how you feel about yourself and how your life works, there will inevitably come around someone like Xugumad who will look to use those facts against you.

There's always a question of how specific you want to get here. Some bad shit happens and you don't want to make it worse by putting info in the wrong hands. Anyway good luck keeping it together Bro, we're with yah.

UT, sounds like you could use some Krispy Kremes to cheer you up. :)

Most of what I say about myself and my life here is stuff I don't have a problem sharing with the world at large. People have tried (and failed) to use it against me here before. They can keep trying. For what I have posted here, there is much more that people don't know...which is how I like it.

I'm feeling a bit guilty for being so chippy recently. I best appologize.

What the hell is wrong with you? Apologizing twice in one night?

*shakes Warch* Damnit Warch! Get a hold of yourself! :)

I was there too, as I recall. With Bronwyn and at least one of our rugrats. Like Tony says, I've changed, though. :-)
Ate there today, after shopping for my youngest's birthday--(She's now 15). It's *way* bigger now; they expanded around the barbershop into the space that used to have Pepper's in it. There's even adequate separation of the smoking section from the rest of the restauraunt.

7 years ago this very week...

--I was a sophomore in college, just getting ready to move back to St. Louis.

--I had just figured out how to use the internet.

--I was nursing an incredibly bad case of food poisoning from a Ruby Tuesday in Cape Girardeau. I don't know how the hell I made the drive back to St. Louis, but I did. All I remember is stopping several times along the way and then collapsing in my bed when I finally got home.

Memories. :)

Now appppppologize to Jag for taht chaep shot. ;)

Dammit Griff, that cycle had just about cleared itself, and now here you go starting it all over again.

Now thats just crazy talk. :)

Ogg understand now.

Ogg no more hunt.

Ogg no more bang rocks togther.

No more! No more!

Ogg now macrobiotic lesbian performance artist!

Ogg make poop on dead animal skin.

Ogg say it represent brutality of hegemonistic white male attitude toward women and nature.

Good. Good.

You give Ogg grant now.

Terry Gross interview Ogg on NPR.

Ogg drink latte now.

Good. Good.

I would like to appologize as well, especially to Ogg. Contrary to my expectations, you've made great strides towards recognizing that individual talents should only be showcased when experts grant funding. We're all very proud of you.

Looks like someone stole Ogg's idea. Though I wonder if they had an NEA grant.

My performed apology to Ogg
 

Ogg's decision to apply for a grant has given him official standing as an artist. Now that hunting and gathering are no longer necessary for his corporal existence the skills of hunting, killing, and processing creatures are a legitimate forms of art, when exercised by someone other than the reformed Ogg. As tribute to Oggs growth as a human, I have performed my own one man four scene exercise.

There are problems with my piece, however. The first is that at conclusion there are several useful products meat for the freezer, a skin for Slang's back, and of course the tallow to be used as Ed Norton instructed us in Fight Club. Art is only valuable for its own sake therefor a resultant product corrupts the whole process. Another issue is the taking of game. We've been instructed that this is legitamit as long as we honor the Great Spirit and the spirit of the creature. Unfortunately this dishonors the tradition of artist as instructor of rational atheism. I don't believe we have a separation of church and state issue, however, as long as Christianity is not endorsed.

An important aspect of the piece is the joy expressed by the doe at having acheived a purpose higher than her own pathetic existance mirroring Oggs emergence from his own selfish existence through the granting process.

The next piece for which my funding is pending will address those problems. I will hunt and kill an American bison on the ranch of neo-capitalist Ted Turner. Since the animal will be provided by the taxpayer and Ted, I can havest it without giving thanks to any power larger than our blessed government from which all good things flow. I will also destroy the meat or leave it to the wild things. Teds separation from Jane leaves open the question of his response to my art. The NEA grant should more than cover any court related expenses.

I'm a wild thing ... any chance you can pack some of that meat you don't want anymore on dry ice and ship it?

:D

Thanks for doing your part to reduce wasting disease in the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania.

You're a good man, Griff.

Ogg, after you hang out with Terry Gross at WHYY in Philadelphia, you head down the street to 5th and Market. We will dine on cheesesteaks...a unique take on cow meat and bread. You might even call it "art."

Speaking of deer...Griff, what time should I be up there for dinner? :D

I wonder if they'll have another deer hunt in the city this year.

Tribute to Ogg fails to stir up trouble.
 

If you people are not offended, you really don't get it. ;)

I'm thinking the Dept of Ag might have a problem with amateur butchers mailing meat around the state. As far as having the Sycs over for mountain beef, we can do that any time, back when I was in high school there were guys who'd jack a deer any time they threw a party... hmmm seems to me one of thems a game warden now.
