Im Ready for DEATH

It all began with the forging of the Great Rings. Three were given to the Elves; immortal, wisest and fairest of all beings. Seven, to the Dwarf Lords, great miners and craftsmen of the mountain halls. And nine, nine rings were gifted to the race of Men, who above all else desire power. For within these rings was bound the strength and the will to govern over each race. But they were all of them deceived, for another ring was made. In the land of Mordor, in the fires of Mount Doom, the Dark Lord Sauron forged in secret, a master ring, to control all others. And into this ring he poured all his cruelty, his malice and his will to dominate all life. One ring to rule them all.

And that's why fuel prices are so high, Charlie Brown.

Plus they serve jet fuel on these giant plates but it's these tiny little artsy servings that look really pretty but drat that's not going to feed a single engine cessna much less a 747

At least they can still use metal spoons to feed the plane, because many plastics melt in jet fuel. And it's not like they need to fork or knife it into the plane anyway.

Thanks to Manifisto for the sig!

the littlest prince

most planes are demanding gluten free fuel but it just doesn't taste as good and they reject it, and demand better options. so now we have producers making regular fuel but using vague packaging which costs more, so that the plane sommeliers can imply that it's gluten free. kind of a laugh riot if you ask me
