I'm curious what effect 1,000 uniformed DAL and NWA pilots with an inflatable rat marching around the G.O. would have on Cerebus, Pardus and the rest of the three headed dogs guarding the gates of hell...
Maybe this is just the Redneck in me, but I'm thinking a couple thousand pilots could take on the hedge fund mutt, no matter how fancy a name they took from Greek Mythology. I'd like to at least hear some discussion of why we are not getting spun up.... The weather is nice, perfect for walking in circles.

Cerberus - 3-Headed Hound of Hades
Definition: The three-headed, serpent-tailed dog Cerberus was the offspring of Echidna and Typhon. In Hesiod's Theogony, Cerberus had not three, but fifty heads.
Cerberus was a fierce, pitiless, flesh-eating watchdog, stationed by the River Styx, from which post he would keep the living from entering the land of the dead. Even the gods feared Cerberus, but Hercules (Heracles), for his 12th Labor, had to kidnap the three headed dog and bring him to King Eurystheus. Vergil included in his Aeneid a trip to the Underworld, in which it was necessary for the Roman hero, Aeneas, to get past Cerberus. In Book VI of the Aeneid, the Sibyl threw tranquilizers to each of the three heads of Cerberus so Aeneas could pass in safety.
Orpheus and Psyche were two other mortals who managed to get by Cerberus.
Also Known As: Hell Hound, Hound of Hades

Now the end the thread hijacking:
MY HELL HOUND HAS MORE SENIORITY AND VALUE THAN YOUR'S!

My Hell Hound is a wide body and he's still less than a year old! He runs all over the planet and his poo smells of freshly cut roses.
