  1. The analytical brain in me wonders how much trial and error went into finding the right size probe that would pull a sufficient amount of water quickly without jerking the nose down too hard towards the water. That's some serious science at work right there.
  2. I don't get the VLC Media Player reference, and something tells me I should be happy about that fact.
  3. I'm not a pilot, but it sounds more like a crap ton of pilot error. Even if they did lose both engines to bird strikes (a la Miracle on the Hudson), they were airborne more than twice the amount of time that Sully was, plus they did a go around teardrop which would be next to impossible with no thrust. Could the APU have been damaged and wouldn't start? Maybe, but with the redundancy built into airlines I would think that would be highly unlikely.
  4. By @Nicole44 of all people. You think she will miss a good death story?

    He may well be tuning over in his grave (were he already buried) at all the Hook 'Ems that post received, but I contributed one as well. Well written.

  8. Cardiac rhythm management. I would say Old Fashioned's as well, but I know there is way too much competition in this crowd.

  10. It appears that Al Wiggins is TCB in the greater Sky Valley GA area...
  11. SBB, stay vigilant with watching your cornhole. New spark-ups could appear, winds could shift, no telling what might happen next!
  12. Dude. No more updates until you are in the boat and well offshore! Be safe!

    Dude, get the ablation scheduled already!
  14. No, goodly is the adverb form of gooder. Don't question an expert.
  15. Whiskey. Tango. Foxtrot.
  16. Look at the big brain on Buck!
  17. Thats a good looking pup and a great pic.
  18. This thread went to shit even faster than the UHC CEO assassination thread....
  19. OK, I have a continuation question in the meme theme: Has anyone ever come out with an official version of what he was actually saying? Surely this isn't it. And yes, I'm calling you Shirley.
