  1. I had thought it was someone on the forum. I couldnt remember. I just dont think it could happen in real life. Well, maybe the yes, about towing that amount of weight.
  2. I have a friend who services those giant wind turbines. Scary.
  3. Even though this is a spoof - I would have sat and watched the Olympics if every commentator was like this guy http://www.liveleak.com/view?i=510_1344196881 Language NSFW!
  4. So we went and saw The Dark Knight Rises. The first ten minutes of the film involve a Herk and a feat that had me questioning if it was possible. This is so far the only link that I can find to give you a reference if you have not seen it http://jerrygarrett.wordpress.com/2012/07/22/how-the-aerial-stunt-was-filmed-in-dark-knight-rises/ Yes the special effects used a glider that looked like a turboprop. But would that be possible? eta- lets just say that the turboprop on average weighs 9800lbs. I think a herc can carry a maximum of 42000. But it is not a tow truck. Garbage scow, yes. Tow truck no. I would think the drag on the weight of the turboprop would factor in. eta-the comments section in the link says the guy doesn't know the did between turbo prop and a jet. The aircraft in the movie did have props. The mock up plane they used on the ground for interior shots http://www.flicksandbits.com/2012/07/23/four-new-the-dark-knight-rises-behind-the-scenes-images/28826/dark-knight-rises-airplane/
  5. Hail in July here. Thunderstorm last night that felt like someone was landing an Osprey in the yard.
  6. Capstan Dragon III - it was from Clark to Kwang Ju, Korea The other one I have found more on - My Googl Fu has improved. It was for Operation Liberty Canyon. Sadly the most information I have found is a bunch of paintball nerds dressing up and playing war.
  7. now that makes me want to punch them so hard in the teeth.
  8. Kickstarter? I know I would chipin $300. I'd like to have another ride. Except this time not in a washtub. I think I am a little bigger now and can buckle in.
  9. Go here > http://www.radioreference.com/ Click on LIVE AUDIO (the 3rd one in on the banner/bar at the top) Pick your state on the map Pick your county on the map Scroll down to the bottom table where it says: Listen | Feed | Genre | Listeners | Player Selection | Links | Status Click on the little speaker of whichever one you want to listen to.
  10. My dad told me a longer version of that joke, when I started driving bus. A truck driver was delivering 25 penguins to the zoo when his truck broke down on the road. The driver got out of the cab and was looking at the engine when a second driver pulled up and asked if he needed any help. The penguins' driver explained that he has to take the penguins to the zoo. He then asks the other driver if he wouldnt mind would taking the penguins. He says "I dunno. Whats in it for me?" The driver hands him fifty bucks. He then agrees. Some hours later, the second truck driver drove past the first one, who was still waiting on the freeway for help to come. The penguins, however, were still on the truck! "I thought I asked you to take those penguins to the zoo." says the first driver. The second replies, "I did, but I had some money left, so we're going to the movies."
  11. Come up the road a bit. The east mountains, east of Albuquerque are nice.
  12. Fräulein

    Beer fact.

    Negra Modello Especial tastes almost like San Miguel. Just missing a bit of the formaldhyde bouquet. That is all.
  13. http://www.socnet.com/forumdisplay.php?f=199 Read the stickies first. As already posted - You have to be the one with the firsthand experience of the individual. The guy who busted my fake SEAL is the moderator of the forum.
  14. "Document everything" was drilled into my head. My dad kept most things - then my mom kept everything after that. She has given me my father's records. There are two operations though - that he had secret squirrel clearance for - and I have not been able to find any info on them.
  15. Can't answer your question. 29 palms in Saudi? I remember getting there and counting all of the palms and threw a fit because there were actually 31 at the time. This was the late 70s.
  16. Double the pleasure. Double the fun.
  17. Congratualtions. And thanks for all the hard work you put into it. looks like you missed one [h=3] Galley Stats[/h]Total Views coming from redirects from google: search terms "Dan" and "Guns"
  18. I vaguely remember the railroading incident. I do however remember the thread I posted about the first all female herk crew to deploy on a combat mission. Third from the right looks like she'd be a great back up to have in a bar fight.
  19. I approve of this thread. The chick on the right looks like she probably still sells girl scout cookies.
  20. Because im sure Dan gets thirsty. I am thinking at this point there should be a "stuff for Dan" sub forum. LOL
  21. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=l7GFo1U5kew&feature=youtube_gdata_player IMO - He got off far too easy.
  22. Don, you forgot to post the link. And before you ask why i dont post the link- I am on my mobile.
  23. YES!! ANOTHER PHONY EXPOSED!! This guy is the current owner of a small coffee shop. I used to visit this shop after my morning runs, when it was the previous owner. I gave the shop a try after ownership changed hands and eventually I stopped going because it seemed as if every time I went when it was this guy, he would try to talk about his service days and Navy SEAL blah blah blah... Growing up in the PI, and those of you who were in the PI, we all knew people who would "slip into the jungle". You just knew them, and what they did. They rarely if ever talked about what they did, when they did, they talked about it as if it was just any other ordinary job. The only thing I ever took away from any conversation was just how versatile a ketchup packet is. So this guy was just rubbing me the wrong way with his yammering. I like to get my coffee and leave. And something just seemed too glorified. I just dicounted him as a blowhard and I stopped getting my coffee. And in turn saved myself maybe fifty bucks a week and learned to make the perfect cup myself. So the other month there was an art show. It was covered by the Journal Http://imageshack.us/f/259/abqbutch1.jpg/ Other forums were already on it http://www.socnet.com/showthread.php?t=107450 http://www.advrider.com/forums/showthread.php?t=759975 The good stuff SCORE! And if Matchanu might be reading this Good Job! I'd like to shake your hand for keeping on this and exposing the guy, I'll buy you a cup of coffee at Fat Boys. I'm pretty sure they aren't SEALs.
