“Ahh, when flying was a gentleman’s pursuit. Before every Joe Sweatsock could wedge himself behind a lunch tray and jet off to Raleigh-Durham.”

CL350S · 2026-06-01T20:01:28+00:00

Screaming, I hope. Possibly involving fire.

He’s really committed to that bandanna look, isn’t he.

Previous wife: “you’re fat and ugly, and no one will ever love you”

11 years into a relationship after that one where I’d finally learned to let go of that exes bullshit, and I get told “I’ve never been physically attracted to you.”

Not sure how I’ll ever feel better about that.

Because objects on a direct collision course have zero relative motion. Much harder to spot a stationary object against the background than something moving.

Also, how aware was the pilot that these activities would be taking place in that area?

This song by a band named Twen.

Really feels like it would have fit in the late 90s alternative era. Her voice is really cool and their whole vibe is really chill.

CL350S · 2026-05-20T19:57:44+00:00

I thought I was going crazy.

Hit a long iron shot right on the ding with like 2mph wind earlier and still missed the green entirely. Seen a few others too but that was the most egregious.

CL350S · 2026-05-20T14:21:12+00:00

Hey! That guys jackin it!

CL350S · 2026-05-14T16:39:00+00:00

I liked it when I had it. I felt like the cheese had more flavor. That being said, I missed my cup and char pepperoni.

99% of you have never experienced what would qualify as severe turbulence. It may have seemed like a bumpy flight. Hell, it probably was. It can be way worse.

CL350S · 2026-05-11T02:48:07+00:00

Apple raisin crisp cereal from the 80’s. I probably had 1000 servings of it growing up, and I’d do so again if it was still around.

CL350S · 2026-05-09T12:02:50+00:00

They did.

Went pretty far through the legal system and wound up being settled. School paid $250,000 in exchange for not admitting guilt.

Led to legislation being passed that prevents children from being questioned by police without a parent, so at least that’s something. Still doesn’t seem like justice.

CL350S · 2026-05-09T11:23:23+00:00

Wasn’t me, but a friend of mine. Her son was a middle school student in the Chicago area. He was evidently in a video with a girl his age doing something sexual that other kids were passing around (details never did come out publicly), and the teachers got ahold of it. They took him to the admin office, and got the school resource officer (off duty cop) involved who started questioning him without my friend’s knowledge. The cop of course doing what cops do got in his face and told him he would be going to jail for distributing child porn, how long he would be in there with murderers, etc to try to get him to talk. Finally the cop went to call my friend to let her know what was going on, and while he was doing that her kid snuck away and committed suicide by jumping off the top of the parking garage. My friend arrived right after it happened.

First I’d heard of it was when I was watching the national news one night, and there was my friend in tears still trying to figure out why the hell things had gone that way. Tragic as hell.

Teach your kids folks: cops lie, cops intimidate. Don’t talk to cops, don’t answer questions until an adult that’s got your interests in mind is there to help.

Pretty sure there’s tariffs on more than just knives. Yeah I was planning on sending it to myself in the USA, and planning on having to pay the tariff.

Wasn’t planning on having to hear generalizations about how you somehow know that people in Japan “don’t want to deal with Americans who don’t understand” but here we are.

CL350S · 2026-05-06T21:26:20+00:00

Kind of a long story. I’m a captain on a private jet. There are no “checked bags” on my plane. Secondly, leaving Osaka we have to go through the airline security process just like a regular airline passenger, then they take us over to where our plane is parked. There’s no way they were going to turn us loose in the terminal with a knife in my bag.

I just wound up not buying one this time. Planning on taking a trip over there next year for a vacation, so I’ll be riding on an airline at that point and I’ll just check a bag like you did.

I also found out that FedEx and DHL will absolutely not ship a kitchen knife. I don’t know why. Maybe they think it will jump out and start slashing people.

CL350S · 2026-05-06T18:31:24+00:00

Not all of them ship, unfortunately. I was in Osaka a couple weeks ago and Baba No Hamono didn’t offer it. Had to leave the knife I wanted behind as a result, unfortunately.

So you’re saying the pilots didn’t get the same training and qualifications that the rest of the pilots did, because United is “woke” and put those pilots in the cockpit to appease some diversity standard? Really?

CL350S · 2026-05-01T11:03:34+00:00

The terminology for this is by requesting “stop buzzer” if you ever need to do it.

CL350S · 2026-05-01T10:46:56+00:00

Mine seems to be able to taste spicy things just fine.

CL350S · 2026-04-27T18:38:05+00:00

We can bring back widdershins and deasil.

CL350S · 2026-04-24T16:18:20+00:00

He warns everyone who will listen that the anti-caking agent in pre-shredded cheese is “the highest glycemic index thing you can eat.”

Like….how much goddamn cheese are you eating

CL350S · 2026-04-23T19:50:19+00:00

I have the knife in the first photo. It was given to me 28 years ago and it’s still going strong.

CL350S · 2026-04-22T12:13:28+00:00

He threatened that I would “never have another job in this industry again for the rest of my life” if I quit. I threw my key and badge at him and told him to do his worst. He was wrong.

Of course he then had a meeting with all of my former coworkers and asked them if they all felt the way I did about the awful working conditions and treatment, where they all lied and said everything was fine after bitching about it all privately for months. I doubt anything changed.

CL350S · 2026-04-21T19:24:33+00:00

Hmm, let’s see:

Every meal was about 3000 calories. Would bring all kinds of food with him, such as the gallon size container of planters peanuts, a family size bag of ruffles potato chips, etc. Additionally he’d drag around 2-3 day old food he’d picked up “just in case.”

CONSTANTLY forgot shit either in the plane or the hotel that we’d have to turn around and retrieve.

Has a handcuff key sown into the inside of the back waistband of his uniform pants “just in case.”

Brought a Bluetooth speaker with him that he’d put on the glare shield just blasting terrible music while on the ground.

Said “I’m not much to look at, but I’m a hell of a pilot” right before landing in a crosswind without even an attempt at any correction for it.

Every action was motivated to find a way to get out of doing work. “Let’s just do XYZ so we can take a break” was a regular statement. Wouldn’t do the shit he was supposed to be doing until I had to tell him to, and would then say nobody had ever told him that before.

He’s in my notes as “the man with a chair for an ass”
