  1. Cider + Cinnamon Schnapps = Awesome
  2. T-shirts, socks, and underwear. The real gift was the spiked cider all day long. MMMMMMMMM,MMMMMMMMMM!!! The best things in life are dangerous.
  3. A piece of advice for you. However you have to work the situation out, get it done BEFORE pilot training starts. You'd be surprised how often relationship problems are the cause of washouts from UPT. Our only dropout from our class was going through a nasty divorce at the time, and couldn't handle that and the stress of training at the same time. Also (and you've probably already done this), make it very clear to her that while you're in training, it's a lot of give on her part and a lot of take on your part. It sounds selfish, but that's the way it is. Make sure you make it up to her after you're done with UPT.
  4. YES! I was waiting for the Monty Python reference! The best things in life are dangerous.
  5. I prefer natural, especially when the girl takes reasonably good care of her body. A breast cancer awareness shirt I've seen pretty much sums it up for me: "Big or small, let's save 'em all!"
  6. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Peter_Lilley A conservative politician with no science background? Al gore A liberal politician with no science backgroud. I think a bit more than you have, anyhow surely more writing skills. A Nobel Peace Prize is not just the win of a lottery. I had the chance to meet and to talk to him in Ottawa. Great guy. Uh, yes it is, or so it would seem these days. The best things in life are dangerous.
  7. Ugh, I can't touch the stuff. Somewhere along the line, I stopped eating fast food and refined sugar, and I'll never go back. Fast food just tastes gross to me now, and regular soft drinks are just too sweet. Makes it easier to keep a regular weight, though!
  8. He's just pissed that there's no "smoking blaster", which would conclusively prove that the Death Star explosion was a cover up. The best things in life are dangerous.
  9. We have new intelligence which suggest that the Empire was building several "Icing Enrichment Facilities." We believe that their goal in enriching this icing on the cake is to ultimately construct another Death Star near the planet Endor to ethnically cleanse the planet of Ewoks. The best things in life are dangerous.
  10. Some of my best memories were going skiing with my brother, sharing a flask on the ride up the lift when we got cold (yeah, yeah, I know it actually lowers your core temp, but hey! ). The best things in life are dangerous.
  11. The Rebel Alliance maintains that an Imperial Star Destroyer collided with the Death Star, but we believe that if the security footage of the incident were released for public scrutiny, it would clearly show that a photon torpedo was used to target a shaft which led to the reactor's core, destroying the station. The best things in life are dangerous.
  12. Ugh, can't do it. Any caffeine usually makes my hangover about eleventy billion times worse than it was. No idea why. The best things in life are dangerous.
  13. I pilot a flying fuel station and pass gas for a living. The best things in life are dangerous.
  14. Very nice article. I'd like to get some stick time in a tail dragger to experience some of the things you wrote about. The best things in life are dangerous.
  15. It's an old plane, alright! With the R model engines, though, it's got better fuel economy and a LOT more power than the A or E models ever did. Boeing did a pretty good job with this jet! The best things in life are dangerous.
  16. Wow, pretty cool! I'll have to check that one out more closely.
  17. The Air Force flies IFR to the max extent possible, so I shouldn't have any problems with currency. The best things in life are dangerous.
  18. I'm not too concerned with it being a "good" IFR aircraft, just that it gives me some options if I want to take it somewhere and the weather gets iffy. The best things in life are dangerous.
  19. Hah! I fly an R model KC-135 as my work plane, so there's very little in the way of landings that scares me! The best things in life are dangerous.
  20. I'm looking at buying a plane in the next few years. I want something fun, relatively inexpensive to own, aerobatic, IFR capable, and with an extra seat for a passenger. I'm thinking about a 2 seat Pitt's Special. Any thoughts/suggestions? The best things in life are dangerous.
  21. One of my favorites was in "The Pink Panther Returns" (the original, with Peter Sellers) Clouseau: Excuse me, sir. Man in the street: Yes? Clouseau: Do you know how to get to the Palace Hotel? Man in the street: Yes. Then he keeps on walking. The best things in life are dangerous.
  22. I can't speak for all the branches of the military, but in the Air Force, education is heavily emphasized. There are many programs through which you can get free (or greatly reduced cost) college and grdaduate level education. Most of the First Shirt's i've met (the good ones, anyway) encourage the young airmen under their charge to take advantage of every educational opportunity available to them. Combined with a good service record, college classes make you look better on paper when it comes time for promotions. In fact, it's pretty much a requirement that you get a master's degree if you ever want to make it past captain in the officer world. The best things in life are dangerous.
  23. Because the "one or two exceptions", i.e. the ones who commit the hate crimes, would cause the trouble by perpetrating attacks against openly homosexual people in the military. Just one attack is a large problem. Put simply, a few exceptions to the rule could cause a lot of problems if there were percieved targets for them to go after. I expect you knew exactly what I was saying from the start, but you're just fishing for yet another argument. Pitiful, really. The best things in life are dangerous.
  24. Nice try, but the people who would cause problems by commiting hate crimes are the exception, not the norm... ...but what do I know, I'm just a dumb brainwashed mercenary for hire. The best things in life are dangerous.
