Yeah, what a memory. There we were, shoulder to shoulder my hands in
my pants, on the football field, even though it was before a baseball
game, packed in like sardines. Me, my teddy bear and soon-to-be-dead
Tiger Boy, my pussycat.

The smell of cannabis filled the air. I don't smoke, it draws out my
manic depression.

This special night was different from the Grand Funk Railroad or the
Three Dog Night or Liberace concerts I never attended there. In my
mind, I was. On the football field, where they were awaiting to play
a Braves game. In May when NFL football didn't play.

1973 National Football League season
Regular season
Duration *September 16, 1973 - December 16, 1973*

https://secure.wikimedia.org/wikiped...973_NFL_season

At one point the lights went total black-out, then suddenly the entire
room and immediate area (closet) were drenched in blue light. I began
to sing "My Room" by the Beach Boys because I sure as **** wasn't at
Fulton County Stadium on May 4th, 1973.

Nothing but blue. Next came the "smoke" of dry ice. It was like London
fog in blue. I guess, never been out of South Carolina, The
Mississippi of the East.

Yes it was "Stairway to Heaven" time. Boy was I suprised
at what came next. Tiger Boy jumped on my Philco and killed the
turntable. this was the day I decided to kill him.

Suddenly I released hundreds and hundreds of white fleas! It didn't
quite work out as planned. Except for the few that momentarilly
circled, they basically just flew away. **** me again.

But there was no disappointment. Those first few notes of
"Stairway" took us where I needed to be. Up the stairs to the cool
breasts of my Mommy.

There, in the moment listening to the most famous song in the world. I
turned and looked at my Mommy, Judy ( "Judy blue eyes"), and she
said...

"Mark, *get your goddamned hands off my tits* and go to sleep. You
have
school in the morning".

my son is a freak

Yes Jim Pennino, I have no clue as to how to
read books. Sure, I went to college on a scholarship,
but still, the enigma of books mystified me the
entire time. There were no buttons, and I never
did find the plug-in cord. Even worse, only one side
of them was actually connected. The other 3
sides just flopped open, rendering them useless.

Typical brainless response.

It is obvious you have no clue what the term "self study" means, how to
do it, or what a CFI will do when you tell him/her you are doing it.

Yep, usenet is more like "sitting around with the crazy conspiracy theorist,
snot-nosed teen-age sophomores, certifiable mentally ill, and genuinely
nasty human beings." With, of course, a smattering of those who are actually
interested in aviation. That is why usenet is dying.

Usenet is in decline because most people don't know how to use it, and indeed
most people don't know how it exists. It's unfortunate because Usenet is one
of the few mostly-uncensored discussion venues still available. Everything
else is controlled and censored by somebody. I guess most people don't value
freedom of expression in the final analysis.

USENET has been in decline ever since any mental patient with a credit card
became able to access it.

In the early days you had to be "somebody" or know somebody to get access.

do it, or what a CFI will do when you tell him/her you are doing it.

Let me tell you how things work in a flight school in a
GA airport. The CFI's have a syllabus they go by. There
are rules which the CFI's must adhere to. They offer
accredited books, but you don't have to buy them if you,
like me, have a library of them. Now, with each step of
the way, each flight, there is a review of your memorized
knowledge. You must display proficiency here in
preparation for your FAA oral exam. With respect to
your written test (done on a computer screen at the
FAA testing facility) your school must first endorse
you to even go and take this test.

With me so far? Ok...

In my case, just as I did in college, I memorize the
information ahead of time. This saves ground school
bucks being paid out, because I simply and quickly
answered the questions with each level of advancement.
In college, I went to the professor before the quarter
began, and told him I could already pass the final.
They gave me the "exemption test", and I got 5 hours
without having to go to that class. That's how I
raced ahead of my classmates.

The flight school was very pleased with my
methodology. Capishe?

You know, if you ever disagree with me...and I'm
wrong, I'll be the first to admit it. I really don't
mind at all.

It hasn't happened yet.

There were lots of angry young males even in the early days, and they bickered
just as much as they do now. But new, even less intelligent people have
accessed Usenet since.

If you really understand self study and how it works, why were you taking,
and paying for, a ground school at all?

Utter nonsense; "angry young males" my ass.

How did you access USENET in the early days that would enable you to know
of anything that went on then?

The way that works is this. Even if it's 15 minutes,
(instead of 2 hours) you still get billed for that time.
It goes under the category of ground school, along
with anything else that adds up which doesn't
fall under flying time...as calculated off the Hobbs
meter.

The CFI is *required* to verify that you've learned
enough to continue advancement before you get
the keys to the plane. It's FAA.
