Um, I work so that I can eat, and I will be riding with Rick as part of that work.
Explain the difference?

Damn. Point taken.
And what would make the whole thing worse is even if the flying POS plane doesn't fall on me in my sleep, or something, I'll still be living in the Age of Dumb(tm).

Worst case, *I* fall on you (in an airplane)...with a FIST FULL OF CHICKENS! MWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!
The Good Reverend,
Ain't going

Heh. That would be a shining moment. It'd be a shame if no one got that on video.
just bring a parachute with you Rev.
Quote from: Donkeyotayjust bring a parachute with you Rev.
Naw. No doors in the cockpit (modified out). You'd have to crawl over the back of your seat, over the cargo, open the side door, and squeeze out, all while in freefall, or a spin...with a bulky-ass parachute on your back.
You could try, but you'd only die tired.
::Reads this thread and goes into total terror mode::
Sheesh! I have to get on a plane Thursday and fly for six hours without falling out of the sky to a fiery death......or not.
I don't want to hear about chickens and air drowning.
Don't go up if you don't gotta, Roger.
That's all I have to say.
I wouldn't fly except that I missed Zorga's last wedding and I'm more
scared of what she'll do to me if I miss her kid's wedding than I am of flying.

Am I a chicken carrying Egyptian, or what?
The Good Reverend,
Is getting dumber by the minute.
Bella, don't worry. You're going to...you know where.

You're about as innocent as my sweet little niece.
Whoa! I didn't know he was THAT innocent.
Quote from: St. Hugh, KSCWhoa! I didn't know he was THAT innocent.
More innocent.
I hardly ever eat people, for example.
Welcome back, Rog. What's all this ******** about you being innocent?
Didn't the grandjury ... oops, I wasn't supposed to talk about that, was I?
Sorry.
Innocent is a relative term, gnomelet.
It's quite possible for Roger to be MORE innocent than DS.
And still be extremely guilty of any number interesting things. :twisted:
Well, I'm glad we got that cleared up. I was beginning to worry.
well lemme point this out to bella and rog...
the chicken lived

Quote from: The Good Reverend Roger"Eleven Egyptians drowned in a well yesterday, in the small town of Nuweiba, in the Sinai Peninsula, while attempting to rescue a chicken. The chicken survived."
- AP, 1994, as quoted by the Fortean Times.
Some people, it seems, are too dumb to live...and my new co-worker, Rick, is one of them. Rick is a forty-Fiftyish pilot that flies one of the Beech 18s that I maintain (yes, the Good Reverend has arrived, and is already gainfully employed, back in my original field of mechanical work).
Now, understand that the Beech 18 is a pig. It really doesn't like to fly, and will do just about anything it can to achieve "an undesirable aircraft/ground interface". It does strange things, like stalling, for no apparent reason...how's THAT for a comforting notion...there are HUNDREDS of these clunkers still in service, and odds are one flies over your house once a week, if not more. One minute, you are minding your own business, watching "HeeHaw" on Nick at Night, and the next an antique POS falls through your roof and kills you. Are you ready for that? Are you ready to be front page news, in a story that involves the words "closed casket"?
Who can explain these types of things? Not Rick, he's an idiot. Not the drooling redneck kind of idiot, but rather a man with NO sense of self-preservation. Apparently, Rick was involved in some South of the border monkey business back in the 80s, and became an adrenaline junkie. I've seen this type of thing before...mostly in the army, but other places, too.
Rick takes truly foolish chances with the venerable Beech, such as flying through storms to cut time off of his trip...Our company's prime cargo being newspapers...which "age" quickly.
I've worked with Rick for exactly one (1) day, and I'm more than a little nervous. As a flightline mechanic, the small company I work for requires that we mechanics get some flight time in on the aircraft we maintain...sort of a QA thing, I guess. This means that eventually, I'll have to fly with Rick.
He's a nice enough guy, and a good conversationalist, but I have to fly with this guy.
In other words, I have to fly with this guy.
Any more chickens in that well?
Or kill me.
Don't die on us Rog, you could always try and get him fired. I'm sure you have a few tricks up your voluminous sleeve...

It has been proven to the Good Reverend's satisfaction that he cannot be killed via impact.

If half the yarns about this guy are true, HE'LL probably recruit ME.
You could always do as Doc Daneeka did. Of course, you could end up like the Doc, too.
So if I get this right, this guy flies a deathtrap through storms on a regular basis... How long has he been doing this?
Because you seem to rule out the possibility that he might actually be good at this sort of thing?
If the plane is a deathtrap, who do you want to be the pilot?
The experienced nutter, who is familiar with the quirks of the plane?
Or a top-notch pilot, who is used to planes that are reliable?
The most important thing is not to show pH34r when in the plane...
If you show pH34r, he'll try more crazy stuff just to freak you out so he can call you a n00b afterwards (in jest)...
Put on a face of professional indifference, and his interest in "showing off" will diminish...
All show-offs need an audience...
If you die, then you die...
No real use in worrying...
And at least you can make sure that the plane is in order before you take off...
Most people who died in plane crashes didn't have that privilege...
"Chicken of the Sea"
"Tuna of the Air"
I suspect tuna fly better. Be a tuna, man!!
welcome back good reverend.=)
