Must be easier than that white asparagus that seems to be everywhere here.

White asparagus?  Haven't seen that.  Then again all I know about it is that it tastes good and if you dig it up with your Tonka construction truck after your Mom has waited three years for it to mature, you catch it hot.

First I've heard of that site. Interesting. Eclectic.

I found out about them because of their contract riders feature. (Next to celebrity mugshots.)

They've been around for what seems like forever.

Bonus points to this dude.  Sees a nightmare in the water.  Jumps in the drink to go after it.

Plastic dogs bolted onto little RV cars to scare off the birdies so the Blue Angels don't crash and die.

In the early 80s, the Thunderbird CO was killed when he flew through a flock of seagulls at take-off out of Cleveland.  A few months later, his replacement lead four Thunderbirds into the ground in a formation crash at Indian Springs.

Ugh.  Guess they could have utilized the plastic doggies.  Couldn't have hurt and might have helped.

In something sort of related, learned last night that the Thunderbirds flew the F-105 for a few shorts weeks.  I guess one broke apart on them and that was that for the Thud era.

Yeah, I remember reading about that.  The F-105 seemed like an odd aircraft to use in an aerial demonstration team.  It would go like a bat out of hell, particularly on the deck, but it was not agile.  In SEA, F-105 pilots would dive for the deck at full throttle if challenged, they'd soon run the shorter range NV MiGs out of gas.

Interesting? Whilst driving I had a head-on collision with a large crow today!  IN THE CITY!  I thought we had a deal?

That fucker is dead.
Dead, Jim.
