The flight is remarkable for not only the grit and determination of the pilot but for the technologies brought together to make it possible.

Is it worth the time effort and expense? of course. just doing it is a fantastic accomplishment

Bottle Recycling Scam!

[Larry Lucido]

I don’t know, but did he ever get his chicken?

[SaveFerris]

And with Darren’s help, we’ll get that chicken!

Darren is going away for a long, long time.

You are aware that the board of directors is under indictment and prohibited from doing business until the investigation is complete?

[SaveFerris]

"I have done nothing unethical!"

[Gamecock]
