Troll of the year award

Congrats. You are the rare exception to the west coast skier rule then!
And you surely know what I'm talking about. Some west coasters that I
talk to have never even sharpened their edges!!

Two years ago, while in the Canyons in Utah, there was a snow drought.
East coast conditions. We were tearing thru the ice, around the rocks,
and the westies were sitting back, and falling all over their tushies.
When I taught in the east when in my 20s, the worst skiers were those from
the west coast. Nothing but moaning about the cold, the ice (even though
conditions were awesome) etc.

I've seen the surf on the north side of Oahu. Not for me. Just like
flying. I prefer the more gentle surf off of the Cocoa Beach pier, or
locally, off of Montauk or the Hamptons.

Kind of like winning first place at the special olympics.

Even participating in the Special Olympics should be viewed as a victory of
sorts for the child, the parents, the teachers, and all others involved with
the kid's life. As the father of two georgously healthy little girls, I am
eternally grateful that I don't have a participant.

Having said that, Football World Champs and Baseball World Series reminds me
of the Shrek character Farquaad.

You have a problem with the Special Olympics?

Just hope that you are never a competitor.

No, no no. A troll would be posting about abortion or the Jews or the
war in Iraq. You're just a crank with an axe to grind.

OK then. how 'bout the guy who posted the concert schedule at the former
Megis Field? I think he is a contender.

Thanks much! Oh, that McHenry County private airport did a hurricane
benefit concert, with local cover bands. Copy Cat!

"The benefit, organized by Sam Leach, the band American English, Onesti
Entertainment, and Michael and Joeleen Stanard, will happen at a new
concert venue that can hold 12,000. It is connected to the Galt
Airport, 5112 Greenwood Road, which is owned by the Stanards.

The Friday bill includes American English, Elevation, The New Invaders,
Hot Rocks, Instant Karma, Problem Child, The Midway Ramblers, Strange
Days, Metermaid and The Neverly Brothers. A special guest will be
Thaddeus Richard, a musician and Hurricane Katrina survivor from the
New Orleans area. Richard was the clarinet soloist on the Wings' hit
Listen To What the Man Said.

Saturday is jammed with jam bands, with Madvine, Malfunktion, Sweet
Pick, Tall Grass Magicians, Venetian Red, Rob Webster and Friends, and
Dag Juhlin of Poi Dog Pondering set to noodle. Mark Staycer, Mighty
Blue Kings, G-Man Blues and the Amazing Kappa are yet to be slated.

Ticket prices for a two-day pass will be $20 at the gate ($10 for 12
and under). Parking will be $5. Guests are invited to stay the night by
camping under the stars or in their vehicles as no tents - or
campfires - will be allowed."

Nah, Jay Honeck and Larry Dighera's political ruminations have set off
bigger ****ing matches than Oktoberfest in Munich. You guys are
lightweights.

-cwk.

Jay is way to nice a guy to win any troll award, despite his obvious
addiction to VFR flying and thinking nothing else in this universe can
compare to the thrill of flying around in a piper. Dighera is an
ill-tempered crank: I'd vote for him, after Jgrove.

My vote for favorite GA spin is:

a post by your friends of NORTHERLY ISLAND:

Meigs provides huge economic benefits to the downtown
business district of Chicago. Calculations based on a
1993 City of Chicago study indicate that--using extremely
conservative assumptions--Meigs contributes a minimum of
1,500 jobs and $57.3 million annually to the local economy,
and perhaps 10 or more times those numbers.

A "calculation" thats "perhaps" wrong by a factor of TEN.

Hopefully, your cockpit instruments are better calibrated than this
"economic study".

ATC: "Desend to 500 feet"
Pilot: "Roger, 500 feet, Oops climbing to 5000 feet". "No, desending to
50
feet." SPLAT
