Jesus, that’s the kind of crap that kept me from joining the army. Why walk when you can ride?

Why crawl through the muck when you can pilot an aircraft that has had no reasonable expectation of competition since the MiG? n_n
Comment ID #124409
why do that when you can ride a rhino through a crowded mall while swinging a sack of gophers over your head while singing a ballad to pie?
Comment ID #124410
SAM batteries, obviously. ^_^
I have no reasonable answer to that, Goldwulf. Oh well. It is all for the better, I expect. ^_^

Has an F-22 ever even been shot down? At all?
Comment ID #124412
well im sure it could be if your tried hard enough
Comment ID #124414
Have they? I do not have any statistics. ^_^
Comment ID #124416
Maybe by an F-33, but as to why the U.N. would shoot one of ours down is beyond me.
Comment ID #124417
I looked, and it seems they’ve never been downed due to enemy action, per se. The first two were faulty software, the third was a result of the pilot misfortune (passed out during exercise, accidentally killed himself during ejection and the plane crashed since, you know, he wasn’t in it).
Comment ID #124418
Having seen one at an airshow, I can see how a trained pilot could pass out doing some of those maneuvers.
Comment ID #124428
Never in the F-22’s career thus far, has one been shot down in combat.
also: None of the mechanical failures and pilot error were while it was in service.

@Jerk: The only thing I ever piloted was an AC-130 gunship dubbed the Shadow Stalker. It was equipped with the very latest and greatest in night combat gear. I flew it during Desert Storm. Mainly, I did communications.
@Sean: I heard of a rather recent crash at an airshow concerning a SR-71 Blackbird stealth fighter. Crashed into the woods, and the pilot parachuted into the backyard of a family which was enjoying a summer BBQ. Apparently, the PM tech wasn’t up to snuff, and the wind sheared about half of the left wing off, and if you have ever seen an SR-71, you know that isn’t much.

Dont know whats worse the pain or waking up to find no one here next to me to help me with this. that just made it a whole lot worse. im honestly in no condition to work tonight, but i have to, i shoiuldent ,but i will because no one else will, they get to enjoy sick days and such while good old SCott has to work because He has nothing else going for him and will just feel guilty otherwise.

Aside from Wolf’s dickery, I must apologize. I hate to hear that, but I find myslef in a similar position, with the exception that I am expected to work my ass off as much as I am able. Most I’ve been on Comms was for 74 hours straight. Gotta love the Air Force discipline, eh?

My dad tries to convert me to Hinduism again, every time I open my mouth in any meaningful way. What a waste of time. I hear nothing but fraud from every preacher, every nuance calculated and predatory.
Sometimes there is just not enough booze to bury my higher brain functions. I think I’ve finished a liter of 100 proof booze in a week. At least I still have the Hornitos Reposados. Fuckin’ life, man.

I have that feeling about porn sometimes. My boner would be so much more efficient if I could just broaden my horizons and be attracted to fatties and faketits.
I’m sick of this shit. I can’t hear your God, okay? I don’t feel your God. I can’t take that leap of faith. Your preachers revolt me in every religion. There is no dissonance. I hear the same words coming from a hundred mouths under a hundred different banners (albeit few of these banners ask to kill heathens quite as much as Christianity and Islam). Sick o’ this shit, mates. Sick sick sick.

“facepalm” should of seen that backfire
Comment ID #124509
Why yes, you should have. If Jerk doesn’t want a religion, who are we to tell him what he should be? If memory serves (and it ususally does, mind), Jerk is old enough to think for himself. Maybe not always sober enough, but that is another story. If he decides on a religion, cool. But I am not about to try and force mine on him because I think mine is right. That’s not how America works. Conversely, speak english, or get the fuck out of my country. I don’t want to learn something new for your lazy (insert foreign language here) speaking ass. My country, my language. Get over it.
Comment ID #124517
:,) beuatyful contradiction there, Mr. Nero, loved it.
Plus, Hinduism is a cool religion, what with all the different gods dressed in funny outfits. Better than having some old dude in a white robe, his son who looks like a pot-head and an invisible ghost, right?
Pitty about the beef restrictions, though.
Comment ID #124518
I have not had a religion in ten years. I know what my family wants. i can’t give it to them. It would be an insult to what they ask of me that I feign conversion. Ridiculous.

We should all go back to worshipping Zeus!

@Migrant: I aim to please. ![]()
@Jerk: You make a good point. It would only hurt them in the long run to find out that you only feigned conversion. Better to deny it all along, honestly.
By the way, is no news still good news? Pardon if I am stepping on toes, here.
Comment ID #124526
I don’t know. I had this seriously vivid dream that I was reading last night when someone told me somehow that Jessie had passed away. Needless to say, I did not take it well.
I think I talked to Taeshi last night too, but I don’t remember what we talked about. I was drunk then too.
@ Migrant: I prefer Yog Sothoth from my choices of Horrible Rape Gods.

Vincy, Just kick in the hospilal doors and go see her
Comment ID #124529
I fucking hate those vivid dreams. I had one in which I found myself in Paul Sheldon’s place from the Stephen King book Misery, and my wife in Annie’s place. Flipped me out pretty bad, bad enough for me to wake up in the floor with her on the phone to the hospital. Apparently I had suffered a minor heart attack and had stopped breathing. :/ But if you have not read the book, I highly reccomend it.
@Lark: Jerk has a sort of sensitivity to this whole thing, and I can understand where it is coming from, having been in a similar situation. I know how he feels in wanting information, and not wanting it all at once. I worry if he were to go to the hospital, he may suffer a mental breakdown, and that would be bad, with the limbo he’s been sitting in for the past little bit.

Much better then the movie. Did she cut your leg off?

I’m reading the Second Dune Trilogy. My brother’s girlfriend’s dad suggested Brian Herbert’s additions too, but I…HNNNG I really, really don’t want to read those.
Comment ID #124534
You keep avoiding my statement Vincy.-_-
Comment ID #124537
@Lark: Yup. It pretty much went in the horrible injury sequence. But I had crashed a plane instead of the car. Lost my foot and thumb, and watched her run over that cop with the lawn mower. The one thing that happened to me that wasn’t in the book, was her actually murdering me. I learned real damn quick never to read an entire SK novel with the timeframe of 8 hours before I sleep. Real quick.
EDIT: My sleep positions can get quite funny, so I woke up not feeling my foot. It was only asleep, but I was on the verge of a larger heart attack, and was not about to listen to reason.

The book was realy good though. I’m a big SK fan
Comment ID #124541
Agreed. SK has written nothing short of amazing. It’s just not a great before-bed read.

It’s a matter of persona, I suppose.
George Lucas is one jealous prick. Mass Effect is rivaling Star Wars now, and Lucas cannot stand it. In fact, he is considering making movies 7-9 after all.

“sigh” he should leave it as is he’s done killed the serise as is, that would be just kicking a dead horse
To know what i’m listening to check link posted above
Comment ID #124550
Agreed. Though I must admit, Mass Effect was pretty damn good. I’m looking foreward to ME3. Say Lark, you ever watch the movie Event Horizon?

Event Horizon, Hmmmm sounds familar but you’d fave to refresh my memery of what it’s about

I love sad songs. My brother constantly complains that I come to him, tear stricken, exuberantly trying to play him something I recently heard. “Hope There’s Someone”, a couple The Cure songs, “Can’t Get It Right Today”, “Wash Away”, and gigabits of instrumental songs, like “Comptine d’un autre été: l’après midi”. So good.

A spaceship carrying an expiramental sigularity drive designed to allow warp travel falls off the grid for years, then suddenly comes back, transmitting a strange signal. The reclamation/investigation team discovers that the ship now has a life of it’s own and os actively trying to kill them.
