Owl Killing

[goat balls]

I killed an owl tonight. Hit him with my head - visor down or I'd have been spitting feathers. Can I expect retribution from some native American shamen spirit or will he realise that this was not a wise owl?

I believe that owls are a sign of good luck when they show up. Although I'm not terribly sure about whacking one with your helmet visor.

I had some friends get smacked in the face by a giant turkey buzzard at 300 knots. Damn thing crashed right through the canopy bubble and smacked the first guy in the face, then it continued on into the back seat and smacked the guy in the rear seat. Lots of blood, both knocked out cold, turkey buzzard dead. One guy ejected and the other flew it home when he came to. (He climbed onto the wing first..realized the plane was fine and got back in..I shit you not)

heh heh

No demons, grim reapers or gestalt entities yet. I'm still hoping.

Poltergeists or class 5 free roaming vapors?

A Reason to Always Do Your FOD Check



From the US Navy aboard the USS Harry S Truman:

When the words foreign object debris (FOD) come to mind the last thing someone thinks about is an owl. On the morning of March 17 on board USS Harry S. Truman (CVN 75), an owl is exactly what was found. What might have been a mishap, ended on a happier note thanks to a few Sailors' attention to detail.

"I was the safety behind the 300 jet. That's why I probably ended up there first," said Aviation Structural Mechanic (Equipment) 3rd class Jeremy Smith, a Sailor attached to the "Ragin' Bulls" of Strike Fighter Squadron (VFA) 37.

He was called over by Aviation Electronics Technician Airman Apprentice Tony McJohnston, also part of VFA 37. What they found was a screech owl.

Aviation Structural Mechanic 2nd class Zachary Gorman who is attached to Helicopter Antisubmarine Squadron (HS) 7, the "Dusty Dogs," is a licensed falconer in the U.S. He was called to the scene to check the status of the bird.

"When I got there, I checked him over to make sure he didn't have any broken wings and if he was dehydrated or malnourished," said Gorman.

i used to have a really tacky looking wooden placard that read:

he who hoots with owls at night cannot soar with eagles in the morning...

USA!USA!USA!

Or as the Navy used to put it

A bloody fine hand in the evening but oh my gawd in the morning.

But not in my case because I don't need sleep because I am a replicant.

Heres the result of a FOD check

If this isn't a FOD then I'm a monkey's brother in law

3 days and counting and not a single "basic pleasure model" remark?

It's that gritty .jpeg he uses as his avatar. Not exactly boner material unless you're a mall ninja...

I tried to change it to a fetching Muslim girl but received complaints.

But she, above, is serious eye candy. In my opinion the sexiest bird on film, ever.
