— Ace In a car. I think they do this with motorcycles all the time. Heck, they do it with bicycles.
Still. It's very neat.

We're having fun today.
Fuck worrying about doom and gloom and how bad we're getting ass raped by that crypto muslim communist in office.
And that goes for Obama too.

Ok, repost since it got stomped by the cool car trick. I thought this conversation was very very instructive.
Crazy thought. Maybe it will interest some morans.
I would posit that The Walking Dead has done more to help with public opinion on guns. When SHTF you want a fucking gun. Lots of them. If you have to keep reloading then you are fucked.
Culture does matter. I had this exact conversation with a hot 23 year old chick that said she was totally against any new gun bans. Totally.

Not a real Mini, either. A BMW.
Hell, I knew a bunch of guys who made 270. Didn't have as good a landing, but...

Prescient, I agree that culture matters and TWD (never seen it myself) can have an influence. But I'm not sure I would say it has done more to help with public opinion on guns. FRankly, public opinion has always been pretty high on guns. I hope the GOP understands that.

UM. NO.
A commercial bus just is too heavy and imbalanced to make that.
If they did some extensive chassis work, then maybe.
Who knows? Did they put a bus shell on a smaller car? Like a parade float?
That might work but the shot looked to me like they cgi'd it in.

I've not seen the movie, but that plot always confused me. I gather that Denzel's character was supposed to be a pilot who successfully landed an otherwise doomed airliner, but he was supposedly inebriated at the time. Right? So the moral question was what punishment should he face, if any, for his inebriated state since he was able to save so many lives? Yes?
How about, "The same punishment anyone would face for flying drunk and high. Just because you didn't kill everybody doesn't mean you get a free pass."
Am I completely wrong in thinking this is a stupid idea for a movie?

"Fell"? Just like, dropping out of the sky? Well. I think the fire department should go out there and catch it with a net.
Next question.

Another random deep thoughts by Jack Handy.
If I owned an airline, I would put a fucking parachute underneath every seat. Yes, I know all the "science" that it wouldn't matter because you can't jump out, etc.
But who cares. I fucking want one. don't you?

Meh. Considering the condition of my son's Buick, which I had hauled away as scrap the week after he went off to school, I'm pretty sure he did this every Friday night.

I still can't get over Obama's going to Israel (for the first time ever) and Bibi is going to hang a big joooooo medal around Obama's neck for services in support of the State of Israel and Iron Dome...
I won't be suprised if Obama gets back home and goes around for the rest of his term, at least, in a turban and a beard.

Well, there you go then.
Anna, I can believe Denzel does a great job. He's such a good actor. I rather hope he wins best actor at the Oscars, but since I'm boycotting the Oscars with a passion I won't know until well after the fact.
I'd like John Goodman better if watching him talk didn't remind me quite so much of an animate, sweaty pork belly.

You miss the main point of the movie. A more accurate title would be "Oscar Bait staring Denzel Washington". An accurate secondary title would be "We want to make a movie about a miraculous plane landing but making one about Sullenberger is boring because he's actually a hero and shit so we'll just make him a junkie alcoholic. Also Denzel Washington."
I guess they had to make it a fake movie inspired by real events because there's nothing interesting about a hero who does something heroic without it being tempered by something unheroic?
And Denzel Washington.

2. Cut the hair of the gal who introduces this and you have a young Katie Couris, which seems very weird to me. Maybe they ARE all robots or clones.

I would bring a ball washer along on my golf trip too. Mine would be more along the lines of Sara Jean Underwood as opposed to Reggie Love.
Heh, Did y'all see the picture Drudge has up of the guy climbing onto AF1 with at least three golf bags?
Optics. How do they fucking work?

A black man who's articulate (with a teleprompter) and clean. Doing stuff that white people do all the time but better some how.
but who's tragically flawed and rises above his infirmities.
And they'll make SURE it looks like he's rising above his infirmities.
Too bad he already got a Nobel Peace prize for attendance.
