The Bar

Everything is good, MTG. (hey PK! I had a burger for lunch today, dee-licious!) Our friend will be in town early next month, she told me to tell you hello. Hey, did you happen to get those pictures from your camera that you took at the Bar last night? I'd love an email, or if you know how to post pictures here, do that. Would be fun to talk in "The Bar" while looking at some pics of, well, ...drinking in a Bar?

Check out this meal served aboard an Air Koryo flight (probably an Ilyushin IL-62M) between P'yongyang and Beijing:

I wonder what the beverage is...

Actually I hear North Korea beer is generally darker, but potent and tasty....

Now all we need to do, DD, is squash a few pounds with our bare feet, filter it into a 5 gallon jug, add some sugar, and let it ferment for about a month, and then we're talking

I'll download the pics tomorrow & lt you know where to view them--I've been using flickr since I can re-do w/smaller image url's there...

I've got my shoes off.

Mellotron, yeah, I use Photobucket to host my mock-up drawings. (Grabs left cheek) This is what I'm snacking on right now...

Fu*K this tooth...I'm gonna look into seeing a dentist in the next couple days.

I'm gonna put the grapes in my socks, then shove my feet into them. Instant filtering.

ouch...tooth pain, eh? What ever happened to the good ol' days of tooth pain--you can just run over to the corner market & buy some clove life savers.

I remember the sign about tooth care in my dentists's office--kinda scarey:

"ignore them & they'll go away"

I have a box of ora-gel too...only there's a woman pictured on the package instead and she's cracking a little smile.

Ouch I always use straight Hydrogen Peroxide and within a day toothache gone in meantime find some codeine #3's

I've got ambesol too--kills tooth pain pretty good. Then you can buy that enamel cement stuff at Albertson's and fill in the cavity--problem is--with a root canal, you gotta get the infection out or you're just cementing over an active wound. They say it's only temporary "see a dentist immediately" it sez on the box, but then they also claim it's hard enough to be a chewing surface.

Somebody just needs to invent sugar that's an enamel-builder, thta's all.

Desert Duck · Post by **Desert Duck** » Sun Apr 16, 2006 12:08 am

I just poke myself in the eye and then I don't notice the tooth pain.

That model Airbus A-380 flies like it's made out of styrofoam. I bet four model jet engines would seriously overpower that aircraft. I bet only two engines really work, and even then they probably had to be baffled. I'd really like to know how much the thing weighs. I'm willin to betcha around thirty pounds, tops. Just lotsa foam and hollowness, i'm thinkin'

I'd like to see a dentist that practices acupuncture...!

Sounds like me over here any of the kids whine about some little boo-boo I always tell em come here I will make it stop hurting! They stop whining and run away!

CLARKcon · Post by **CLARKcon** » Sun Apr 16, 2006 12:13 am

Nice DD, but pain redirection only goes so far (I've already dug my fingernails into my palm...no good) I remember seeing a sign when I was getting my tattoo done. It read: "Pain is just weakness leaving the body"
Well, the weakness is definitly leaving my body...so is a lot of spit, a little blood, and my ability to talk like a human being. I'm sorry to bring it up, but of course, it's on my mind (and in my mouth...)

Shit really? I was thinking at least thirty pounds of fuel...

Little Johnny was just hit by a cannonball. A few tears, a squirt of Bactine, a Band-Aid, and the kid's back out on the playground rackin himself on the monkey bars with all the rest of them.

Hey, CC- I've got a dremel and a whole bunch of beer. If you can't afford the dentist just swing by and I'll fix ya up.

CLARKcon · Post by **CLARKcon** » Sun Apr 16, 2006 12:21 am

I love it Duck

I was actually contemplating the tie-a-string to the doorknob idea.

MellotronG · Post by **MellotronG** » Sun Apr 16, 2006 12:21 am

On the same website, or maybe break.com or youtube or one of those video sites, there's a video of a model B-52 crash. That was a big model plane--not quite the size of the Airbus, but certainly bigger than a California condor. When that thing went down and burst into flames, a lot of thick black smoke went up like Kuwait 1992.

A real Airbus A-380 gets about one-twelfth of a mile per gallon. I bet that model plane in the flight that it took in the video used maybe a pint of lighter fluid type fuel to go the half mile or so that it did.

Good Idea just grind it out and fill it with JB Weld

Those engines sure sounded like they had some kick! real jet sound like it had turbines not just straight jet

MTG, was that the same one that was the first fully-automated flown plane? I saw that video, and was mortified (I could see about finding the link...believe me...there will always be humans to have to do some jobs. Pilot DEFINITLY included)

MellotronG · Post by **MellotronG** » Sun Apr 16, 2006 12:30 am

That automated plane was (I think) an Airbus A-330 for Air France. It flew just above the ground and floated into the tops of a forest full of trees and blew up. I think three people were on board. Seems there were survivors, but that went up in such a plume of smoke, I don't see how anyone got out of that one.

Desert Duck · Post by **Desert Duck** » Sun Apr 16, 2006 12:34 am

I'd think if you were going to test a remote system you wouldn't have people on board the first time you tried. Personally I'd rather know that the pilot has to risk his or her own ass in flying the plane. A lot less likely to go "oops, oh well".

MellotronG · Post by **MellotronG** » Sun Apr 16, 2006 12:34 am

I sure as hell wouldn't fly in some pilotless plane! Sheesh...autopilot is one thing when you're at cruising altitude, but already there are commuter trains w/o operators & that's iffy enough. I guess the good thing is that I don't recall ever reading about a wreck w/fatalities on one of those automated trains.

Desert Duck · Post by **Desert Duck** » Sun Apr 16, 2006 12:37 am

And at least if you crash, you're not up in the air with thousands of gallons of fuel-most trains are electric.
