2. American chocolate is simply shithouse compared to ... anywhere else, really. I had to bring over an entire bag full of Australian confectionery when I went to the US because some folk there wanted it so badly.

My friend who's now living in Chicago, always wants me to send Aussie chocs to her...


Dammit, phone rang. Now I'll be like 4 pages behind...

 

[the tourist]

Wow, you're just owning us.

It's because I'll be going to bed early. I planned it this way. I'm planning my victories around sleep.

 

[Axver]

Huh. I've never experienced this. I like just putting on my headphones and watching the movie.

I never used to, but the last two or three years have been hell for me when flying. When I went to Auckland for the U2 gigs, I thought I was going to fucking die, my head hurt so much on landing.

the most beautiful things i've ever seen from the air are several sunsets, the grand canyon and surrounding terrain, and the very very torquoise mediteranean ocean.

also landing at lax at night is pretty incredible, the lights go on as far as you can see.

I'm just getting more and more reasons to fly around other countries.

The most beautiful thing I've ever seen is my girlfriend.

 

[Varitek]

ian how do you become a pilot there? here pretty much the only route is to join the air force

She's reading over your shoulder, isn't she?

ibuprofen and dramamine. And chew gum so your equilibrium will catch up quicker (gum makes your ears pop).

 

[Axver]

Your one shortcoming (apart from the eggs and peanuts)

Maybe it's just from all the effort of having to control gravity and the plane relative to it.

 

[the tourist]

She's reading over your shoulder, isn't she?

Actually no, she's at practice for the musical she's in. That's why our date was so early.

 

[Axver]

I'm still going to beat you.

I hope.

As far as i understand, have good ears and eyes. You can learn to fly through universities so that you can do it on a student loan and then spend time getting hours somehow until somebody wants to hire you.

Sounds like fun to me

That would be a headache.

There is no theory of evolution: just a list of creatures the Axver allows to live.

Air New Zealand gives out lollies, so those at least help. I suspect I actually have some sort of problem with my sinuses. Should get it checked out ...

You may!

The Axver once ate three 72 oz. steaks in one hour. He spent the first 45 minutes having sex with his waitress.

 

[Alisaura]

Flying really is made of SuperWin. With a bit of Amazing and Love mixed in.

 

[the tourist]

What can I say? She's a hottie and I really do love her.

 

[the tourist]

 

[the tourist]

the Axver does not hunt because the word hunting implies the possibility of failure. The Axver goes killing.

 

[Varitek]

ok i am really out. as in, falling asleep. i shoudlnt keep my laptop on a table by my bed.

 

[the tourist]

The Axver has counted to infinity. Twice.

 

[coolian2]

ok i am really out. as in, falling asleep. i shoudlnt keep my laptop on a table by my bed.

There's a reason i don't do that often.

Night.

 

[Axver]

That's fantastic.

 

[the tourist]

The Axver is 1/8th Cherokee. This has nothing to do with ancestry, the man ate a fucking Indian.

 

[the tourist]

There's a reason i don't do that often.

Night.

Touchpads and burnt penises?

 

[Axver]

G'night, Vazza!

 

[the tourist]

In an average living room there are 1,242 objects the Axver could use to kill you, including the room itself.

Yeah... god help us if people realise planes are heavy and that flight operates purely on willpower...

 

[coolian2]

Touchpads and burnt penises?

You'd better believe it.
