The first thread title was "balls, does it matter if you suck" or something like that.

Yeah. When they change the title it changes for the OP and every post made after the title change but still appears with the original title at the top of each other post made before the title change so... ISWYDT
 
Last time Mrs. Velo and I went to Hawaii we got bumped up to first class on our Delta flight out. It is amazing how much better the flight is with leg room and a few drinks.

Every time I've been bumped to first class I get stuck in the row in front of the bathroom where you can't recline. That's always fun on a 7 hour overnight flight to Phoenix.

Ours was 9 hours from CVG (long story). It would have been much worse in coach despite the plane only being about 3/4 full. We were lucky enough to have seats together in FC away from any bulkheads. I know they say to not drink on a plane because it worsens the dehydration that you get from breathing the recirculated air, but a few drinks sure takes the edge off and I make sure that alcoholic drinks aren't the only thing I am drinking.

I can't imagine some of these flights to Asia or the Middle East at around 20 hours. I'm pretty sure I would be chewing through my wrists.

I didn't realize that it left it there, I kept wondering why people were liking my comment when it no longer made sense.

I can immediately fall asleep on any flight and sleep the whole thing. 30 minute flight to Maui or 8 hour flight to Vegas, doesn't matter, I can sleep it out.
 
we got bumped to "business" class last fall on the way to Jamaica when I thought we were about to get bumped from the flight. Yeah, those seats are pretty decent.
 
I am one of those people that gets uncomfortable and starts sweating if it is above 85 or if it is just warm (80+) with no air movement. Growing up my parents would only really turn the A/C on if it got above 85-88 in the house. So all of those summer days where it isn't hot there just isn't any wind were brutal. Not to mention being outside playing and having no relief.

Saw a snapping turtle today in the road on the way to work, almost hit it

When I was learning to fly a couple of years ago my instructor and I were doing touch-n-go's at my home airport. On one go (takeoff portion) we noticed a turtle on one side of the runway. We decided that would not be good for anyone to hit on the runway so we landed, I taxied around him and my instructor got out and moved him off the runway.

There was another time I nearly nailed while driving around a corner at the same airport.
 
Oh my GTO.:eek::biglaugh: Giving up on the soft troll job, going full GTO in that BodeClone thread.
 
I am SO glad that Bode posted his own thread about the hire because

A. I've been dying to hear his thoughts on it
B. We needed another thread about hiring a basketball coach. It's been like pulling teeth to get that news around here lately!
