Wouldn't you get bar oil on the turkey?

80 what you need is a PSA from William Shatner on turkey fryer fires:

Blinded by my hunger, I ignored safety. Spat in the face of science.

Turn off the flame.

DAMNIT BILL, THAT'S TOO MUCH OIL!!! WHERE IS THE DINGLE DANGLE?

I almost blew up half of Songtan, South Korea with one of those. Did it on the rooftop, boiled over, caught fire, burned through the propane tube, propane ignited, oil everywhere, and the buildings oil reservoir tank for heating the building almost caught on fire. Called in to Korean Fire Department by a neighbor 3 blocks away.

Luckily 5 or 7 fire extinguishers later it was out, and before the Fire Department arrived.

Make sure your entry method (B) is enlarged. :D

Lowercase b won't work.

To tag team with Johnso;

Lower case b definitely won't work, but uppercase B can work especially if the A has been in uppercase for a while.

The backdoor can AvAil itself to a B.
:D

Well, at least the DH is only one leg, and you can put in earplugs if needed. Now, if you we're forced to listen to his BS for three days, I would tend to agree.

I hear you. I just finished a 4-day with Rachel Maddow's gay lover. BTW, what's up with former Marines?:eek:

Pre Election 2008 on long ER flight with a guy who I really enjoyed flying with but...

FTB's Captain: "So what do you want to talk about, sex, politics or religion?"

FTB: "Uh..... well, I'm alright if we just, um, stare out the window."

FTB's Captain: "Alright, religion. There is no God."

FTB: "This is probably why we shouldn't do this."

FTB's Captain: "Okay, how about politics? George Bush belongs in the Hague."

FTB: "Yeah, I don't agree with that."

FTB's Captain: "Sex? So my sons girlfriend has got a nice [redacted]. I really enjoy looking at her. And I know they're out there in the car having sex. I told him, go upstairs for crying out loud. Treat her like a lady."

FTB: "..." (eyes blinking rapidly)

Yes, I shortened it, it was actually only a slightly longer conversation. The dude was a mess, but I enjoyed that trip.

In other news, was it just me imagining things or did two gorgeous women kiss each other after they landed?

Kittinger later served three combat tours of duty during the Vietnam War, flying a total of 483 missions. During his first two tours he flew as aircraft commander in Douglas A-26 Invaders and modified On Mark Engineering B-26K Counter-Invaders as part of Projects Farm Gate and Big Eagle. Following his first two Vietnam tours, he returned to the United States, and he soon transitioned to the McDonnell Douglas F-4 Phantom II. During a voluntary third tour of duty to Vietnam in 1971-72, he commanded the 555th Tactical Fighter Squadron (555 TFS), the noted "Triple Nickel" squadron, flying the F-4D Phantom II. Kittinger would also later serve as vice commander of the 432nd Tactical Reconnaissance Wing. During this period he was credited with shooting down a North Vietnamese MiG-21.[13]

Kittinger was shot down on May 11, 1972, just before the end of his third tour of duty. While flying an F-4D, USAF Serial No. 66-0230, with his Weapons Systems Officer, 1st Lieutenant William J. Reich, Lieutenant Colonel Kittinger was leading a flight of Phantoms approximately five miles northwest of Thai Nguyen, North Vietnam, when they were engaged by a flight of MiG-21 fighter planes. Kittinger and his wingman were chasing a MiG-21 when Kittinger's Phantom II was hit by an air-to-air missile that damaged the fighter's starboard wing and set the airplane on fire. Kittinger and Reich ejected a few miles from Thai Nguyen and were soon captured and taken to the city of Hanoi. During the same engagement, Kittinger's wingman, Captain S. E. Nichols, shot down the MiG-21 they had been chasing.[14]

Kittinger and Reich spent 11 months as prisoners of war (POWs) in the "Hanoi Hilton" prison. Kittinger was put through "rope torture" soon after his arrival at the POW compound and this made a lasting impression on him. Kittinger was the senior ranking officer (SRO) among the newer prisoners of war (those captured after 1969), and he was described as having been in conflict with some of his fellow prisoners over his leadership style. He tried to keep the aggressive junior officers under his command from active resistance to their captors on the basis that it might result in more torture for the POWs. In Kittinger's autobiography "Come Up and Get Me" (by Kittinger and Craig Ryan), Kittinger defended himself as being very serious about maintaining the military structure he considered essential to survival. Kittinger and Reich were returned to American hands on March 28, 1973, and they continued their Air Force careers, with Kittinger promoted to full colonel shortly thereafter.

Just my opinion, but I think he's pretty much entitled to whatever he damn well pleases...

Lots of people called Jim Stockdale a senile old idiot too. I doubt any of them had any firsthand accounts of what like in the Hanoi Hilton was like either.

Another reason to love the -88. Awkward "at cruise" conversations don't last long enough to get messy (unless you go off and start using Vertical Speed....)
