Re: Aviation History Quizn
Close . This has to do with some very early flying that I did . At the age of 7, you used your mother's curtains as a cape, and did the Superman thing, jumping off the roof of the white building on the left, clearing the fence, but landing head first on the trash dumpster, accounting for the dented...

Re: The Truth.
I think that also, if the situation had been one where a great stick and rudder pilot might have needed to do something fairly radical to insure that they made the river, instead of the Walmart in New Jersey, Zeigler reaching out across the years might've instead killed them all...

Re: What is this sexy bitch?
A lot of pds are moving to Chryslers, why, I don't know. The Plymouth Fury used to be very common as a police car. When my Dad was in municipal government, he used to get a retired police unit as his official car. I got to drive them sometimes. Even with a ton of miles on them, they'd move pretty g...

Re: Happy Thanksgiving
You're probably right.I think that's just because you didn't Nair properly before sporting the thong.
I was going to point out to ZA that while my monthly change of tighty whiteys isn't due til Monday, I always wear a fresh thong for holidays.
