Worthless,...but poses a great point!

[TxPilot0878]

Several buddies and me kicked back a few brews the other night (go figure) and got caught in a rugged battle of the many disputable things.
Mind you that we all are at different points in our flying careers and have experience the others do not...so I come to ya'll to maybe decipher and help settle the dispute!

We were discussing the best of "the hidden paradise...or best kept secret (place) to pick up women....I had to go with Brazil,"

"The best beer...which ranged from "la fin da monde" or end of the earth...to shiner bock!"

"The best college football team this year and the best place to party ever....I was leaning with the Big XII, and OU but after tonight...Kansas kind of stomped the hell out of that 48 pts. per game avg.!"

"Lastly if you could fly any aircraft ever what would it be...that I will leave to you and not disuade anyone...I will tell you this...no one agreed on a single thing!"

If you have some great insight and some new routes to explore I am up to new interpretations!"

Thanks,

Tex

Chicks:
If you can make Sweden, your set. It's Europe and the people err, the ladies, seem to be more relaxed. And nearly every, um lady, is hot, tall and blonde. I'm a sucker for a tall blonde.



Beer:
First off it has to be Canadian brewed. Second it should be from 'Down East.' Examples are Moosehaed and Alexander Keiths.

College:?
I suppose Maine and Michigan have an OK Hockey programme. You need to come up here to witness some awsome sports.

Airplane:
DC-3. Anything radial get's me going. Now only if I could incorporate a tall blonde into this mix...

Cheers.

The list of airplanes I ever would love to fly is too long. I simply can't narrow it down to one. I will say though, it'll be a thrill beyond the telling of it to fly one that I build, or help finish building. There's a Sonerai project right now that I'm working up a little excitement over.

I don't get it.

You guys are all off base. Every "real pilot" knows that there are only 3 topics worthy of discussion among pilots, i.e., the 3 S's, sex, salary and seniority. You get to pick the order of preference but that's it.

 

[prpjt]

3 S's

One thing I've learned is that which "S"
holds the #1 spot changes in direct proportion with my age. At some point in life all three will hold that coveted #1 spot,but never at the same time .

 

[mar]

Thank goodness

Man, I'd say that if the Three S's occupied the #1 spot all at the same time you're probably doing your chief pilot.



Wouldn't be prudent.

This had something good going......
For you guys who have gotten around the globe a bit.....where's the most 'american guy' friendly place to go to meet women?

I've heard the ladies in Brazil and Spain give us a little more attention than other places......

Amsterdam on the other hand, heard it's a blast but they could give a crap if you're american or martian....they just wanna party.

Now Beer is easy.....we all know it's none other than Milwaukee's Best.

FlyChicaga for President!!!!

Chi-town kicks ass......and good guys wear black......

And I am in full support of the 19-22 year old slightly drunk college girls in Texas bill.

Pro-beer.

FlyChi - you lookin' for a running mate?

 

[Flying Illini]

Now FlyChicaga, I thought you liked wine from a jug. Maybe I'm wrong but the way you went through that jug sure made it look like you liked it. But then again, you did lay around and regurgitate it for the next day or so...and sleep in it that night.

ps. Don't ever make me drag your drunk, beligerant, @ss to your apartment again!!

It it Floats, Fly's, or Fu*k$ then it is better to rent versus own. D. isn't that basic business 101.?

Before marriage, I was too busy flying to consider women. Picking up a woman meant she was a paying customer headed somewhere.

After marriage, looking at women was a little like looking at airplanes I could never afford, runway behind me, or the gold medal in downhill skiing...something I couldn't afford, would never get or get back, and so ridiculously out of sight the mere thought would be laughable.

After divorce, looking at women is a little like the idea of looking down the barrel of a loaded gun. Only, now I know better. Once was enough.

Picking them up? Depends on their weight, and preferred destination. So long as they get off after the flight and don't look back as they leave the airport...fine.

Football? I saw my first game last year. I also saw my last game last year (coincidentally, same game), and didn't make it all the way through the game. At least Rugby has enough action to be interesting...but football? Looks more like it ought to be played by attorneys to me. The move an inch, call a time out, and spend an hour doing fifteen minutes work. Criminey.

I've never had a drink in my life. Tried O'Douls once and thought it tasted suspiciously like lukewarm used dishwater. I choke on Nyquil. However, between skydiving and long drives, I'm slowly becoming a slave to Red Bull...

As for the best airplane, I have always maintained that it's the one I'm flying right now. Be that a J-3 or something bigger and faster, or even smaller and slower (it is possible)...whatever I'm fortunate enough to be flying is my favorite. If I'm especially fortunate to be paid to fly it, even better.

They're gone now, but among many, I really miss the PB4Y-2. If one could love an airplane, that would have been it. The J-3 would be a very close second.

Ahaaa... I feel the same way but for me I have only reached this conclusion after just the dating scene. A wise man once told me that a women is like an expensive luxury car, the day you pick one out is the day it starts depreciating in value and the better looking one that you pick will surely cost you much more in the long run.

Can we win?

No.

That's Kansas State.

Kansas is the Jayhawks.

Don't you think it helped score points with your roomie though? I mean the same jug helped you score points....................

As they say in the Budweiser commercials, "True."

 

[TxPilot0878]

Thanks guys!

Well as entertaining as this has been, my best friend and I are going to head to Rio to indulge in mas cerveza (don't know the portugese translation), great food, chance to fly on 3rd rate piece of crap(but I am bringing a bag full of box tape...that saved my butt more than once...like everyday....flying skydivers), and ohhhh yeah I almost forgot....ALL THAT TAN SKIN!!!

Happy contrails and thanks for the laughs! Have a blessed and Merry Christmas and Happy New Year...make a resolution you will definitely break w/in 24 hrs!

Regards,

Tex
