Okie going to a hairdresser, Seriously? :) I took crap while visiting Texas about California 'Nuts and Fruits'. I go to a barbershop. Gotta admit the ~900 year old dude that insists on cutting my hair cuts me with the straight razor every time while tuning on sideburns... OP: Seriously, you...

I started to post several times about the United thread on leggings and deleted. I had to look up what leggings are. Unfortunately my wife and I never had children so maybe I am not qualified to comment. I thought the original story said the girls are 12 & 13. I don't think I'm a prude and I...

Argh I thought Buford T. Justice spoke that line. Went back and don't see that exact phrase. My bad. I don't recall the Dodge Charger commercial, will look for it. I've been a Mopar fan since the 70's. Had a '72 Charger that was an unmarked police car, got it from the city auction. Found a 12...

I can't find my copy of Bill Gates ( 1995? ) book "The Road Ahead". No he didn't get everything right. Don't want to start a bash fest on him. Seem to recall his solution was email based but why not phone calls also? The idea is you set a cost for someone to contact you, can even have a scale...

Did you just swipe that from @Acrodustertoo?

I do not travel on airlines much but have been delayed a couple of times for relatively short amounts of time. I really prefer to be stuck in a terminal than a spam can, even for a half hour. This is one reason I lurk here, some really good knowledge floats around and I see a different...

You all are talking about brakes, I want to know what special order turbo Ted needs to get this beast moving. :)

I prefer the right side end space, at least sometimes there is not a passenger to ding my ride.

Why not get a boat to tow worthy of that rig? :) Living vicariously, Lurker

Yikes, I'm sorry that happened. I fell and busted up my shoulder to the tune of 18 months. The physical therapist was great and kept the parts moving but the pain persisted. I eventually went to a chiropractor and after 4 or 5 visits and the shoulder pain was gone, still some arm troubles...

Thank you all who answered my question, but wow this thread went so way bad. Sorry I asked. :(

I'm in the minority here, bought a Ful backpack at Costco several years ago for a business trip. Seems like it was lower priced than others on the shelf. I ended keeping my work laptop and accessories in it and took it on nearly every trip both personal and business. With remote connections and...

I was in the Union City Los Companeros, we competed against the Blue Devils many times. I recall the Blue Devils had their own box van to haul equipment, we were a small group and everyone used the trunks of their cars for the equipment. Anyhow, I can't believe nobody gave Tom a hard time for...

Thanks for all the replies, I did mean 707 not 727. I had visions of flying monkey penisis ( penii? ) in my head I could not repress. I had seen some of the info you all came up with, missed some of it. This doesn't surprise me, it's why I asked. I know it's silliness but sometimes just can't...

I've asked myself the same thing many times. I mean, it's pretty lame, no? To make it worse a while back I read that whole dang 'Thinking about a boat' thread. So here I am, not a pilot visiting a pilot forum and not a boat owner reading hours of boat stuff on the pilot forum. Maybe I need...

Dumb question time. I recall hearing quite a few years ago about John Travolta owning and operating a Boeing 727 out of his home at an airpark, the first one the neighbors complained about the noise so he moved to a second airpark. So, what are the logistics with basing a 727 at an airpark? I...

Oh crud, I didn't even think about an avatar. What a maroon. I considered a DC3 because they are cool, but I just couldn't resist an airplane called the DoubleEnder. Just seems right at home around here. Thanks for the warm welcomes!

Hi all, I've been lurking here for a long time. I am not a pilot and don't expect I ever will be one but am interested in flying and general aviation. I particularly appreciate the mostly intelligent and respectful discussions whether aviation related or not. And some of you are so way funny...
