  1. Don’t know if you saw earlier, but when the Arkansas team was getting off the bus, there was some mouth breather pig fan in the background displaying the horns down. WTF? Your team made it to the college series and you’re about to play LSU. Texas is not in the College World Series. Why in the world are you even thinking about them? Between Aggy and Pig y’all have some really weird stalkers. That is just a more intense display than the idiot in Tallahassee who wanted to fight me because I refused to say FSU was our greatest rival - the Noles were a little brother - and Georgia was the true enemy. That offended him so greatly that he immediately wanted to engage in fisticuffs. I kind of feel bad you had to put up with both of them for so long, only get some peace and quiet when they joined the SEC.
  2. I should’ve been clearer about all the things I do not know, because I’m probably close to the last person who has any idea how those things work. Where I keep hanging up is the fact that it would be almost impossible for the flaps not to have been put in the up position upon takeoff due to the warning system. So if the flaps were up on the takeoff approach, and they did not appear to be in the proper position as the plane was descending before the crash, I’m trying to figure out how in the world those two things could exist together. The only thing I could come up with in my ignorant brain is some hydraulic failure that fubar’d the flaps from remaining in a state that allows lift. But I guess if the voice recorder turns out to be correct, and the pilot said they had no thrust, maybe the flap setting would not have made a difference, other than to change the glide angle and how many feet the jet traveled before it crashed.
  3. This give some interesting information, but I thought it very telling that if the pilots had not set the flaps correctly, a warning system would’ve alerted them. I know nothing about nothing, but I assume there’s a lot of wind resistance and pressure on the flaps as you approach takeoff speed. I also assume that the hydraulic system is what will keep the flaps up as the flaps experience the wind pressure wanting to knock the flaps down. The gear not continuing to be raised, and the flaps not being engaged properly, seem to indicate a sudden loss of hydraulic and electrical power right at takeoff - which could include simultaneous engine failure. It sounds like the plane shut down and all the pilot could do is call in and say we’re going down. Which sounds more like a Boeing problem than a pilot problem. I would much prefer a pilot problem.
  4. What clients may go with them, well, that’s a horse of an entirely different color.
  5. Keep supporting the patriarchy you knuckle-dragger - and do continue to completely ignore Mrs. Pibb’s contributions to society.

  8. Is Spitthatblood still alive… or is she currently fighting Stephen Miller‘s wife for access to the South African racist idiot?
