RANT: Aqua-beowulf puts you in an Olive Garden

[Defiant1]

Do you like movies about gladiators?

What did the Roman say about his girlfriend?





























He was gladiator.

[Defiant1]

I wanna fly the damn thing(s). Not play with their guts.

.............Aerospace/Aeronautical or Mech. E?

[Tyrbolift]

I wouldn't say they *created* it, I'd say they exposed a lot of white kids to it.

Unless there is a subgenre that I am missing?

Hell, Blondie beat them by 2-3 years with "Rapture".

Queen: "We will rock you". 1977.

I would say this qualifies as "rap." 1961

First rap song I ever heard.

Life as an air traffic controller seems pretty sweet.

[Defiant1]

which is in strong contrast to your college years.

I c wut u did thare

[kvk1]

.............Aerospace/Aeronautical or Mech. E?

Aeronautical.

My father started there... retired from the FAA decades later.

Depends. It can be. It can also be insanely stressful and tiring.

You have a point.

Rap invented by a white country singer!

eh anything that pays good is like that. I just don't know how long you are "allowed" to be an ATC.

[kvk1]

What do you mean? Retirement age? 58 (I think) in the US.

Until you fall asleep on duty.

[im2manly]

I am assuming, that at a certain age they would not want you to be an ATC. I just don't know what that age is.

[kvk1]

Yeah, somewhere around the 60s for ATC. 65 for pilots.

[im2manly]

Please Naldi, I take my shit seriously.

[Final_Rep]

Didn't know you were an ATC kvk (or wanting to be?) My dad did that while I was growing up - moved us all over Alaska.

[Defiant1]

Aeronautical.

Hopefully you'll get to do a homoerotic volleyball scene all greased up.

























Hopefully.

[kvk1]

Until you fall asleep on duty.

Blame the FAA.

They completely overlook the ridiculous working hours imposed on these guys by their superiors (that rape their sleep cycles) and then complain when they naturally succumb to the limitations of their bodies.

Of course, all the public hears is "somebody fell asleep at work" with no other information. As if these guys are working the equivalent of a 9-5 cubicle snoozer.

[darinaldi]

He doesn't want to be. He wants to be the person contacting them, aka the commercial air pilot.

Oh, I don't want to be an ATC.

Oh. This is much better.

[kvk1]

Hopefully.

This is the goal.

[Drekkor]

This is the goal.

They don't hire pilots from terrorist harboring countries, aka Turkey. kthx

[kvk1]

Lovely.

Nice! Jamming No Sleep Til Brooklyn in the office atm.

If youre not a Slayer fan you may not know that Kerry King (one of Slayer's guitarists) plays the lead break on that song. Anyone familiar with his style would recognise him [s]by the back of his neck[/s] by his plentiful use of the whammy.

The Slayer-BB connection is the Def Jam record label, thru producer/co-owner Rick Rubin. Three of 'his' best albums IMO were Slayer's 'Seasons in the Abyss', BB 'Licensed To Ill', and RunDMC's 'Raising Hell'. Thrashed them at school.

LedZep fans will hate me, but Rhymin' and Stealin' > When the levee breaks

MCA, get on the mic my man

[W8isGR8]

Ewww......close, but the number one answer was "SR-71". Yes indeed. SR-71.

A-10

The aircraft is designed to fly with one engine, one tail, one elevator, and half of one wing missing.[38]

Its self-sealing fuel tanks are protected by fire-retardant foam.[39] The A-10's main landing gear is designed so that the wheels semi-protrude from their nacelles when the gear is retracted so as to make gear-up belly landings easier to control and less damaging to the aircraft's underside

Suck it sr-71

[Hishiad]

Megadeth Tuesday night....sooooo pumped



Also was going to read back all I missed, hit 500 Miles from catface and had to stop there listen to the song a few times, then I forgot what I was doing and hit my CP and here I am....

[theshoupguy]

I am going to be really pissed if this doesn't make me literally blow my load when it's released.

Interesting history info there.

The SR-71 does not need to care about such trivial things. It goes approximately 83% the speed of light and is practically invisible to radar. HTH

U lukcy fuka. I hear their set has been including lots of old ****. As in pre-CtoExt
