Fuck getting on a tiny prop plane in the middle of winter in the Year 2026.

I had the exact same thought when I saw that tweet.

[Hawk&Balls]

Was it Doug or jogger that was known as The Big Slopper

 

[AZmessDAWG]

Yes

 

[Kerky]

They touched down two hours ago and the plan didn’t look that small

It's a turbo prop commuter for puddle jumps between locales like Fort Dodge and Mason City with 2 seats on one side and 1 on the other where the pilot has to have passengers move to balance the weight. Explain your definition of small.

 

[Hawkstrat]

Regardless, I'm glad they didn't die.

Agreed. The plan for tomorrow isn’t small.

I rode in a 5 seater from Zanzibar to Kilimanjaro with a couple Bantú tribesmen as pilots.

And I live to tell the tail

Did they also smell like onions?

I have a tale to tell
Sometimes it gets so hard to hide it well
I was not ready for the fall
Too blind to see the writing on the wall
A man can tell a thousand lies
I've learned my lesson well
Hope I live to tell the secret I have learned till then it will burn inside of me
I know where beauty lives
I've seen it once
I know the warmth she gives
The light that you could never see
It shines inside you can't take that from me...
A man can tell a thousand lies
I've learned my lesson well
Hope I live to tell the secret I have learned till then it will burn inside of me...
The truth is never far behind
You've kept it hidden well
If I live to tell the secret I knew then
Will I ever have the chance again?
If I ran away
I'd never have the strength to go very far
How would they hear the beating of my heart...?
Will it grow cold?
(will it grow cold?)
The secret that I hide
Will I grow old?
How will they hear?
When will they learn?
How will they know...?
A man can tell a thousand lies
I've learned my lesson well
Hope I live to tell the secret I have learned till then it will burn inside of me...
The truth is never far behind
You've kept it hidden well
If I live to tell the secret I knew then

I was quite hungover and rather stuffy from the previous night's festivities, but everyone there smelled like onions. I'm sure they were no exception

 

[Nobody]

Could've been worse...

 

[douglasbader]

I'll always love her

Once flew from El Paso to Chihuahua Mexico on Leo Lopez Airlines….asked the lady at the ticket desk for a window seat. Her reply: “ they’re all window seats”.

Recovering drug mule?

 

[KitKatApples]

How do you lose one?

 

[Fletch]

Looking at the schedule, I don't think it's absurd to think we might be 13-2 headed into the Illinois game on January 11

1 more to go. God bless McCollum.

I’ve always hated the stupid arenas where the floor is above the benches. Fuck The Barn.

I don't know of any others. Are there?

 

[Thanksgiving Dinner]

Vanderbilt

 

[KitKatApples]

Those fucks again

 

[Hawk&Balls]

Two fucks in a week? Lucky bastards.

 

[OlePeep]

I don't know of any others. Are there?

seems like that guy who snapped his leg a few years ago was on one. Louisville guy?

 

[eclone]

Vanderbilt

Yeah, and Vandy doubles down with the stupid corner bench area resulting in coaches standing on the end line, which looks wrong to the senses.

 

[eclone]

Yep, Ware from Louisville. That was in 2013(!!) on a raised floor installed in Lucas Oil Stadium for the NCAA tourney.

 

[Shawneemicks]

There should be more raised floors. Make them even more raised, uneven would be even better, adds drama to an otherwise blah experience imo

It's an abomination

Any of you poo stabbers going to start a fuckin game thread?

 

[KitKatApples]

@Turdz

 

[Thomas Wolsey]

@Turdz

Hopefully ze hasn’t been stabbed.

 

[OlePeep]

just had a guy in my office declaring we are a nightmare match-up for Nebrantska and that we will rout them in Carver. Not that I'm looking past Niko and the Goophs tonight, one-game-at-a time-and-all

 

[Herky823]

I attended a conference in hilton head 2 or 3 times and each time I flew in a wood paneled prop plane from charlotte to hilton head. I think if you paid for first class you were allowed to smoke and sexually harass the flight attendant, even.

What a strange thing to have someone do. You’re a weird guy.

Flying Maui to Molokai last year was an experience. They weighed us all, and after saying "oh my" while I was on the scale I was in the very back on a big bench seat. As the closest passenger to the back door I got the responsibility of locking the door in place after pilot closed it from outside. I just stared at that latch the entire flight thinking I had somehow doomed us all.

Where did you stay on Molokai?

 

[Thomas Wolsey]

Where did you stay on Molokai?

Your families place?

 

[Stomper15]

Just idiotic and been that way for decades. Isn't Vandy a prestigious engineering school? Can we get an honors project on fixing this shit?

 

[KitKatApples]

Your families place?

That's Breck Brah

 

[HawkeyeJonesEsq]

Where did you stay on Molokai?

One night, and I really think it was called Hotel Molokai. In 30 hours was able to make it to all four corners basically.
