He’s doing great - especially since he’s also juggling army stupidity. I’ve been super fortunate through this whole process.
From the greedy, stupid bastard news... Former major league pitcher Esteban Loiza, who earned more than $43M playing baseball, pleaded guilty to possessing 44 pounds of cocaine (44 fucking pounds!) with intent to distribute. He faces 10 years to life. How do you fuck away $43 million and then end up sitting on 44 pounds of coke?
He should be ashamed of himself. As a former professional athlete he should be able to Hoover up a pound or two without his heart exploding. Then invite the '86 Mets and there goes the other 42 pounds. Clearly he didn't have a proper exit strategy.
Who says he didn't start with 45 lbs? Maybe he wanted to go out Tony Montana style, but forgot that he didn't have any guns?
These past couple weeks have been such a blur there was a good chance I completely blacked out posting a pic and I was too afraid to look.
One more thing to love about my new Z28: The previous owner had it from age 52 until he passed away at 72. I'm pretty sure he never did this to it:
Ain’t nobody wants me to post in the booby thread rn. Bruises everywhere. So I’m just saying someone else will have to pinch hit for me.
Geez, ladies. Shim is hurting and asking for a small favor. Are you so heartless you can't help her out? What a shame. Speaking of shame. Yeah, the police should lock YOU up. That should never happen.
I'm moving, trying to buy less. Too bad a small canister is still cheaper than a large latte. I just bought more coffee at Wal-Mart and made some in my mocka pot. BLISS. Call off the police, crisis averted.
So, how about that SeaTac airport incident? Anybody else read some of the audio transcript of the random worker who stole a plane and took it off?
I heard the actual audio between the ATC and the "pilot". Fucking hell... he sounded sane... just a guy who made a bad decision... very relatable... not some crazy dude or anything. It was pretty surreal.
Yeah, if you throw out the whole stole an airplane that you didn't know how to land from your employer thing and wanting to kill himself, the guy was completely rational. Other then that, if the dude was actually doing loops like reports say, in a fucking turbo prop commuter plane,....damn! I can think of much worse ways to check out.
With 2 Fighter jets on his six, just in case they needed to shoot him down if he headed for population. Wild.
The guy was a ground handler (as in "park here mr. airplain") dude, who hopped in, fired it up, and took off. But yeah... if all you heard was the audio of the conversation between him and the ATC, he didn't sound like a nut-job. They tried to get him to try and land, and he basically said, "yeah, if I do that, I'm in jail for life... don't think that's going to happen..." The "turboprop" was a 76 passenger q400 which is a pretty fucking peppy, and large aircraft. Much bigger than your typical Dash-8 or something similar. He didn't do loops, but he tried to do a barrel roll that ended up being more of a split-S, successfully. I saw some Twitter video early this morning of it, and while it looked like he came close to pancaking into the water, he pulled it off. Purely a video game pilot. Taking off is stupidly simple for just about anyone to pull off.... it's the landing that is fucking hard. He ended "landing" nose-first into a deserted part of an island.
So much this. Taking off and getting airborne is nothing, it's the whole getting back on the ground and still drawing oxygen that's difficult. It's basically just changing elevation smoothly, the key word being smoothly, which isn't quite as easy as getting the plane in the air. I feel bad for the guy's friends and family, but he knew what he was getting in for the moment he decided to take the plane. It beats going out with a .44 slug to the head.
