On the subject of personal driving habits....



Not particularly tool-related in anyway, just thought it'd be a nice comedic break from the last few pages.

Agreed. I have seen a "comfort snake" once. That was weird...

There's a joke there somewhere about women driving your comfort snake, but I will refrain. ;)

What I saw was "LaQuesha", all blinged out, strutting her overweight arse through the terminal while blinding everyone with her 14K gold uppers along with the miniature Swarzenegger with a spiked studded collar.

Million to one odds of that dog snapping with that background. :p

Wow, just wow. "No, you don't understand, she was BLACK!"

+2 on the tool nomination.

As a father of 4, 3 of them 'women drivers', that was hilarious!

Thanks for the laughs!

Atlanta drivers are particularly bad about this. It's funny in rush hour how driving in the right lane is typically considerably faster than competing with all the dummies jamming into the left lanes.

I was amazed at the level of driving stupidity when I moved to the ATL area. Normal appears to be 10 below the speed limit. At least most of the roads I drive have no passing zone.

Looks like he got an upgrade to economy comfort. Good to see the turkey in a better seat than I usually get when I deadhead.

Sorry about my poor English skills, it's been 3+ decades since my last Freshman English class. It's also been almost the same length of time since my last CFI work. You're right, it is proper to call it a certificate. Just about every reference I've dealt with since then has been a "rating".

My bad. It gets a little confusing sometimes trying to pronounce "Kinston" and "Kingston" in the same trip, remembering that ORD APP freaks out over 10kt speed diffs unlike others, figuring out if Havana is 120.25, 124.55 or 123.7 each day and what a "Flat Rock" looks like compared to a "Sail Rock" :D

I admit, there was a little digging on the turkey post. I was wondering about someone's claim as a commercial pilot and what exactly that meant. MY background is GA and have seen many claim what they are not.

The turkey looked like a good crew meal if the flight was long enough for a oven cook ;)

No worries. It's been several decades since I was in high school, but I still know how to use the language that I profess to know fluently.

He claimed he was a commercial pilot, no more. If he only has the certificate he is still a commercial pilot. He has still passed all of the coursework and skills required. He made no claims otherwise.

I'm not sticking up for him as much as I'm tired of people bullying without due cause.

Your argument is flawed in regards to Pitbulls. I am somewhat sure, but skeptical, that a Pitbull is a fine dog in a proper home. But you insinuate that if you put a Pitbull in a not so proper home that in fact it is a vicious dog. The difference is if you put a Golden Retriever in a not so proper home it still won't go on a killing spree.
I am not busting your chops, but everytime I hear the argument on how great a dog a Pitbull is someone qualifies it with "in a good home". You never hear that qualifier with other dog breeds.

LOL. Pitbulls will not go on a killing spree. They have extremely strong jaws and have a temperament that can be used in training to attack or defend. That said, they don't have "killing spree" on their minds. They have very territorial behavior coupled with a strong musculature. Golden's are bread for a kind temperament; you'd really have to do something drastic to change it's behavior towards people.

*This coming from someone who really does not care for them as a breed.

Really? Dobermans, Rottweilers, German Shepard's, Akitas come to mind pretty quick.

Yeah, your right about those breeds, but I am typing on my iPad and got tired of hunting and pecking the keys....but my point is still made.
