WOO-HOO!!!! Yay for bunnyfire's son!!!

The Good: My faith in the next life has again been reassured. Long story.

The Bad: My very good friend is suddenly a widow at 43.

The Weird: Her mother-in-law was over the night her husband died, and wanted someone to drive her to the sale at a clothing store, as it was the last day. Mind you, her son had just died! At 33!!! Gaaahhh!!!

That? Definitely weirder than celery.

Yippie! for pilot!

Um, wow, redvixen, that is warped.

My wife and I went to the Lancaster (PA) Central Market last year, and found a stand that sold celery, and only celery. You could buy whole stalks, or just a rib or two, or just the tops, or the de-topped ribs, hey, whatever suits you, but only celery. So we had to buy some, of course. It was the best freakin' celery you could possibly ever imagine. Now, yes, you're saying to yourself, "I'm sure that's true, since I can't imagine celery ever being particularly good," but, man, lemme tell you, this was some good damned celery. Apparently, they bury it in sawdust or something and age it for several months, and it gets very, very tender, and develops a wonderful nutty flavor. Believe me, if you're ever in Lancaster, you need to get you some of that celery.

Wow, mrmoonpie. That comment deserves some kind of weird internet award.

Congratulations on your son making pilot!

redvixen: Sudden deaths of loved ones can make people go into shock and denial. And they do things that are . . . odd.

Bfire, wherever your son is flying, I wanna be on that plane. And I'll send you all the celery I encounter, if you'll send me all the cilantro. Deal?

Wendell, I understand Iraq in the springtime can be lovely....

And I like you way too much to ever dream of sending you cilantro.

I usually eat an entire celery every day. I love the stuff. It must be hell for whoever sits next to me in the office. munch munch munch munch munch munch munch munch ...

think of how many people he'll be able to bomb!

If even half the stories our Engineering Director tells are true, I think you're going to need to worry more about your son's pilot buddies than the enemy...
(He was an A-10 pilot in the USAF)

He wants to fly heavies. Neither bombers nor fighter jets tempt him at the moment. Of course he grew up here where the C-130s roam.

he grew up here where the C-130s roam

Me too (kinda)!! I live about 12 miles up the road from Quonset Point.

So can I have his autograph when he starts piloting Hercs? I've got a bit of a crush on them.
And celery ain't that bad, with bluecheese and/or hotsauce in the mix. Then again, what is?

(PILOT)

He wants to fly heavies.

That means extra-wide passenger seats? Well, I guess I qualify. Even if he doesn't want to bomb people I could throw things out the window...

Actually, after clicking on your recent deleted MeFi FPP, I feel you owe me more than a free round trip to Ramadyi. While the video played, my infected eye got worse and I had to rest it another 12 hours.

You should've known that to appreciate that cartoon you had to
(a) enjoy American Idol
(b) like Mad Magazine style parodies that would've een rejected by Mad's editors (maybe even Cracked's editors)
(c) be from or currently in North Carolina.
Now, there are a lot of people who fit all three criteria - but they're not MeFi members! (In fact I have a cousin in Wilmington, NC who's a Daugherty fan who wouldn't even accept a free membership from me).

The lesson: know your audience.

Wendell, sometimes stuff is so bad it's good.

Other times, a bunny might be so tired she might as well be posting drunk.

(Oh and I do fit A and C.)
