This is so lame. A few weeks ago during really nice weather I thought it'd be nice to have a little fire pit (yes, for little fires) in the backyard for evenings after dinner. So I bought one and it was great that first evening. The kids made s'mores and the crackle of the wood and the flicker of the flames was better than anything on TV. Then the nice weather was gone and the rain came back. Now I have a nice copper rain gauge.

No Bruce, I can't afford to relocate to Arizona! What would I do with my nice new rain gauge? Yeah, sell it on eBay.

Hey Bill...Can you at least do a low level fly over near my house? http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif

I'd git fired an'stuff.

Come out and stand on the PHX runway and I'll take off right over your head. I'll tell the tower that some nut is on the runway and we just missed him.

Actually, that happened at Phoenix back over 10 years ago. An MD-80 was taking-off at night and some wack-job ran out and stood right in line with the MD-80 as it approached at 100+ knots. The captain tried to abort the takeoff but they hit the guy and killed him. He was splattered all over the nose gear strut. Yep, that flight cancelled.

Suicide by plane...yuck! http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/tongue.gif

I'd hate to be the guy that had to clean up that plane... http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/eek.gif
