Distance happened.

Don’t be so sure. I got to wrestle a severely over tightened oil filter off a Tacoma that was dealer serviced for 35k miles before it came to my shop. When I finally got the filter off it was stamped “factory installed”. 35k miles.

I dunno which is better: the rocket pod aimed directly at the pilot’s cabin or the sweet rims.

Ex-Coastie here. Much faster to send down the basket and load up the vic than to set down. Coast Guard helos operate off of our larger cutters all the time however so I'm sure this was an option

Saving lives; yep, I’d consider that money well spent.

Meh, we’ve spent a lot more to accomplish a lot less.

“If Ospreys are that weak, they should have zero place as an operational aircraft.”

I hate the goddamn Osprey with a fiery passion, but you’re right. Compare incidents involving my old airframe, the CH-46 medium-lift Sea Knight, to the Osprey on a year-for-year incident basis divided by number of craft in the air and it’s got a decent track record. Rotary craft are really hard to fly and have a lot…

Isn’t the whole point of the movie that the audience never knows if it’s real or if it’s just the fake memory?

So why aren’t muslim proclaimed un-muslim for terrorist attacks? Where are the condemnations from the muslim leaders. Unless it is just the fact that media is not covering them, I have been missing these for quite some time.

And then he said - this is a lighthouse, YOU change course! Hahah hahah.....hahah..hah......sorry wrong overused internet story.

Keep in mind this wasn’t a stand-still drag race. The automotive equivalent would probably be something like a 80-200 mph acceleration, where the prop plane was a Shelby Cobra and the fighter a Ferrari 488 GTB.

I desperately want to see it land and 25 guys come out to the sound of calliope music.

“Mmmm... scary vagina/cock monster. I better shove my face into it.”

I just hope the colony ship does better psych evals on the crew than the one from Prometheus.

Idiocracy has gotten funnier and funnier as time has gone on and we’ve approached its’ reality.

I didn’t star your comment so much as I starred whatever drugs you are on today.

You fund that one

Personally I don't think "Spoon" is nearly common enough to rank up there with the Oz, Trek and Star Wars quips.
