  1. So glad that an interesting thread has bumped roller derby thread down. Now if Round Ranger, Chevy, or one of the other contenders would show up, that would really be great.

    1. The Round Ranger has slunk off with his bovine bride and is just hoping it will all go away.
      Chubbyliar now has a real Wanted ( BOLO) poster out on him and knows better than to act out.
      I expect the news from Birdbath will be a bombshell, once the legal shennagins are over its going to be weapons free on his shingles-ridden ass.

    1. From a favorite Scottish based movie … “There can be only one”.

      1000 points for the right answer!

        1. Great flick.

          That movie and Cindy Lauper bridged the gap between rock’n’roll and professional wrestling.

          1. Oh.

            Before I forget.

            I went to a ball game yesterday. I had to relieve myself before I went in. In a public port-a-potty.

            After I finished, I looked down. My mistake.

            I immediately thought of Commander Phil Monkress at All-Points Logistics.

            The similarities were uncanny.

    1. Standard reply: here are your Obamaphone “bonus points”: +1000. Unfortunately, that plus $5 will get you a cup of coffee at Starbucks (or from one of those other overpriced sh!tty coffee shops frequented by our “liberal brethren” for soy lattes, espresso, fappuccinos, and the like – and yes, the spelling “fappuccino” was intentional).

      See your local Lifeline program office for that “free” phone. Send future invoices to MCPO NYC USN Ret., as per the above he is the authorizing official.

      1. Ah … Very pithy amigo.

        So this ends the “Weekend Open Thread” and it was a good one.

        Ta Ta!

  2. Why’s there a single-engine in a field with a confused lady next to it? These are the tough questions, you know.

    1. The plane had a defect in its operator, who managed to land this plane a short time earlier and then took off again without ample fuel to make it to his destination…all it would have take was for the dipstick to look in the tank to realize I was on empty, but he knew better and has tried suing everyone under the sun because of it.

      1. Dear The Empty Fuel Tank,

        Are you “a tank half full” or “a tank half empty” kinda’ tank?

        Just askin’!

        1. I am more a Tank is running on empty kind of guy apparently… I mean hell, someone tried turning me into a Birdbath in the middle of that womans field. Just cannot catch a break at all.

        2. Master-
          you are so evil- making us wait for the whole story- but when you and jonn make ready- am soo waiting for the this whole hamlet(or the Prince) to play out!

    2. The picture of the corn fieled crash is not that of a fake CPO from the Pacific Northwest. In that crash, a plane owner from the Midwest suffered an engine-out condition. He had his wife on board with him. Both survived. The woman in the picture is her, the wife of the esteemed pilot from the Midwest.

      However, if you click on the link below, you will behold a crash of Bernathian proportions. He was by himself when he ran his A/C out of fuel. Just him and his iPad…. and his 99 cent app.

      You can look up the tail# registration, but don’t expect that slimy bastard to register any expensive assets in his own name. If he had anything to lose, it would put an end to his frivolous lawsuits.

        1. I think that pic would make a great safety poster with this caption:

          “DON’T be a FOOL, make sure you have enough fuel!!”

        2. I’m thinking, “When other people run away from stupid, I run toward it!”

          or maybe

          “Daniel E. Bernath vs. Gravity”

      1. Maybe If he had a TSA-style flaming squirrel to throw in the air, he might not have had to walk so far. Maybe he had his cane handy when he did?

          1. It is, but you can see from the note directly under the registration number on the right that, as least around April 2012, he registered it under his own name. It appears that he re-registered it under his wife’s name eight months after the crash. Interesting that it still apparently has a current airworthiness certification, though the NTSB preliminary report stated that there was “substantial” damage to the airframe. I wonder if that was a repairable set of damages, or if he re-registered a wreck as a flyable airframe.

            From a casual look through the FAA database, it does not appear that any flight plans associated with that registration number have been filed since 2012.

            Didn’t someone mention once upon a time that a more complete telling of the Tallahassee incident was forthcoming? Or did I just miss it in the mass of everything else?

  3. I’M BACK!! It wasn’t as bad as last time, and less painful as well. I took one of the pain pills, and it feels like it’s kicking i-*ZAAAAAAAHHHH!*

    LOOK, A FLYING FLAMING SQUIRREL! is sumwon inn turbl somewar?

    1. Thanks y’all,it’s not as bad as I thought it would be, now I have to make myself sit still long enough to recuperate!!

        1. AWWW SHIT!! I figure that you only live once, so you need to enjoy it, thus I went where I like to go, MCPO!!

      1. I saw A light, I wonder if it was THE Light? They started me off with an IV and “Piggybacked” an injection into that to help me relax. I drifted off to sleep and soon dreamed I was rumbling with some puke trying to keep me from going to the Doctor! In the dream, I had just taken him down and was choking him out when I woke up to the EKG monitoring my vitals beeping because my pulse was 90-something! My beloved Wife was at my bedside when I woke up, and I told her about it as my pulse went back down to around 60-something which is about normal for me. The light? In my dream as I was taking the bully down, there was a light right above as I was taking him down!

  4. Public Announcement: Daniel A. Bernath STILL accuses THE WRONG MAN of being me. I don’t even fart in his general direction as I watch the trains in Rochelle, Ill, he’s not worth the effort!!

  5. Crash 2013 – NTSB ROI will be public record.

    Tallahassee Incident May 2014 – FAA ROI will be public record.

    Carry on.

    1. I wanna listen to the audio tape while sipping my glass half-full of fuel with an umbrella on top.

    2. I missed something. Did a certain non-CPO type have another “incident”? I couldn’t find an ROI on it. But I had just the barest information.
