The best flight in the world was on a C-17 with about 20 other people and room to just lay out anywhere. Wait scratch that, the civvie flight on the way home after that with like 10 people left after the rest stopped off on the east cost was better.

On my Iraq deployment we had our own C-17 for a couple dozen guys and our ISU-90's. Worked out perfectly to about a rack-sized space of deck per person. Best way to spend a 20 hour freezing cold deafening flight, imo

Flying used to be something to look forward to. It was an occasion.

I got to see a 747 flight deck on a trip to Sicily when I was a little Holly Bloopers. That was so cool. Pilot gave me plastic wings too.

I was pretty fortunate on my trip out to Japan. The guy at the service counter is from the same area I am stationed now. He told me to tell the worker at the gate that I knew him and to hook my family up. I almost didn't say anything since I felt like a douche and half the flight were working this girl for free upgrades. I am glad I finally said something though because the woman gave me and my family business class seats for the trip from LAX to Tokyo. Big seats with plenty of legroom and our own tvs/tablet things in each seat back was pretty drat sweet. Making that flight coach is loving miserable.

For the fourteen hour flight to Korea I got the emergency exit seat. In exchange for listening to a five minute speech and reading a little directions plate I got to have more leg room in front of me than I could cover fully stretched out. I swear the whole row could feel the hate stares boring into the backs of our heads from everyone else cramped into normal rows but we all thought it was pretty cool. Leaving at 9 AM and arriving at like 11 AM fourteen hours later really hosed me up though. Rough shape for a few days of adjustment.

To/from Korea sucked, which is why I never took leave there. All that goddamn time only to go to/from Seatac. Way back I had 3 connecting flights and it sucked balls all day long getting back to Nashville.

Gotta get up to get Down's
El Paso to Qatar as the only lower enlisted in first class. Only because I skipped the formation where they were going to give me a battalion coin, so they have me a primo seat instead. Blamed my section sergeant for not making sure I was there, didn't answer his frantic calls because I was catching my third movie in a row. Only good army experience in four years. Now I skip all the formations just in case.

WHERE MY HOSE DRINKERS AT

quote:

Chris Evans's 'control freak' and 'dictatorial behaviour' on Top Gear reportedly forced the new producer to quit and led to the delay of the relaunch.
It has also been claimed that he questioned the idea of having former Friends star Matt Le Blanc on the show.
The new production was thrown into a 'certain amount of disarray' after the show's executive producer Lisa Clark in December.
Today, it has emerged that Clark, felt her position had become untenable after warning Evans that filming on the series was behind schedule.
A source told The Sun: 'Evans didn't normally turn up to a lot of meetings, but at this one he said he had completed some footage with Jenson Button.
'Lisa replied, "Yes but we need to make more than 30 films. It's not enough". He shot her a look for undermining him and she was soon gone.'
She was hired following the departure of Andy Wilman, who will join the old Top Gear presenting line-up of Jeremy Clarkson, Richard Hammond and James May on their new Amazon motoring show.
In a statement announcing her departure in December, she said: 'After an extremely busy five months I am moving on from Top Gear to new projects which I will be announcing in the new year.
'I'd like to wish production all the very best with the show.'
At the time, a BBC statement said: 'We'd like to thank Lisa for all her incredible work over the last five months readying new Top Gear for its busy filming schedule in 2016 and planned return in May.'

Chris Evans has no business running a motoring show. At best he could be a Hammond- sidekick constantly mocked for daytime television appearances.

Lol new top gear UK is going to be loving garbo. It wasn't the show that captured the audiences, if I wanted car facts I would go to youtube. It was the charisma and utter zaniness of the trio of Hammond, May and Clarkson on stage and during their review spots that brought viewers in.

May and Hammond joining up with Clarkson was all I needed to know that the producer was asking for it. May at least isn't hard up got cash and carries plenty of shows on his own, he doesn't need to stick with Clarkson if he truly is an insufferable rear end in a top hat.

The ONLY way to make American Top Gear work would require 3 people who are actually friends with actual comedic chemistry outside the show to make. Like Conan O'Brien, Timothy Olyphant and Adam Carolla could probably make an amazing show

Dog Stars is super great and very GiP. A dude with a dog, an airplane, and a lady friend. I read Station Eleven last night by Emily St John Mandel, which was very loving good. Both of those books are very similar. I'd grab a copy if you want more Dog Stars-ish readings.

God drat just ran the amazon report...

Since September 2000, totals were $42k/$29k...at least I appeared to have gotten some great deals...

Most expensive item was my queen size memory foam mattress for $500, and the cheapest was a charging cable for .66.

Don't you have a peephole or some poo poo in the door so you can check first? I mean don't go exposing kids to nudity but if its a mormon doorknocker or some random dude asking about your roof, go ahead and open the door.

Well you see the problem is you live in Utah, which is the literal mother base of Mormonism. RIP you I guess.
