It's not the steering the plane for 63 hours that would have killed me
(though I likely would have fallen asleep after 10 hours or so), it's
the takeoff and landing. I'm sorry, it is quite an achievement, no
matter how easy it is to dislike the person who did it.
Is he that insecure that he needs to buy records if he can't make them?
WTF? He wanted to "win" a slot for the Hilton Cup last year so bad that
he had Terry (who is a good guy)win him a slot, pushing out a very
deserving Tom Kreyche. Steve could have come anyway as a guest of Barron.
I fail to understand how he could "win" a slot in this fashion. Since
when has it been legitimate to claim a Hilton Cup flight with someone in
the back seat? If there wasn't anyone in the back seat, and he simply
followed Terry around, this wouldn't be the first time that has happened.
From the limited interactions I had with him (I was paid to work on the
Perlan project for a short while), he was about as insufferable as
roughly 50% of the people I run into on a day to day basis. So what?
