So, this guy tried to pick me up this weekend, and it turned out he is a pilot for Northwest Airlines. The first thought that came into my head was "Free plane tickets to all Hatrack gatherings." Am I maybe a little obsessed?

No, of course not. Nope. Not at all.

I don't see anything wrong with that, well besides the fact that you are addicted...

muwahhahahha!

I hope you shot him down in hopes of finding a pilot from a better airline
Actually, I live in Minneapolis, which is NWA's headquarters and primary hub. If you want to fly anywhere, you're pretty much flying Northwest.

So no, I shot him down for a completely unrelated reason. [Wink]

An Insturment rating..to better navigate when the lights are out, right? [Evil]

ELJay, why did you shoot him down? Was he a vet, and you wanted him to feel at home? [Big Grin]

Yes, do tell, in great detail. *frantically scribbling notes*

He didn't ask you to be his auto-pilot did he?

One-track mind

So, this guy tried to pick me up this weekend, and it turned out he is a pilot for Northwest Airlines. The first thought that came into my head was...

I can't possibly be the only depraved pervert here who thought of airplane bathrooms. Followed closely with seething envy for the pilot.

punwit! [Eek!] I hope that was a reference to his inflated ego, and nothing more!

I suppose, guys like that seem to like to blow their own horn alot.

Poor guy. [Wink]

Don't know what it is, but
A million dreams of love
Surround her, anyway ..."

Lalo, I have no problem with whichever way you decide to swing. If your looking for help from me I have to tell you that I have a problem trying to get energetic with someone sporting the same plumbing as myself.

Edit to say that Lalo just redacted a proposal to me that occaisioned this reply. I'm of a mind to leave my response even though he has deleted his post.

I'm glad to see Lalo taking the lead in something.

Heh, that's why I took it down. It sounded far too serious a proposal -- and when I've promised myself to Sean Connery, Leslie Nielsen, and Eddie when that day comes, it seems kinda rude to offer myself to you, too. I mean, dude, you're cute for one of a very ugly gender, but over Sean Connery? Aren't we vain...

For now, anyway, my heart belongs to Sara and her nurse uniform. Sigh...

Lalo she's a DOCTOR, a least get it right!

I refuse to answer this question on the grounds that it may incriminate me.

Actually, based on the turn this thread has taken, any answer would probably incriminate me. So I will take the road less traveled, and keep my yap shut.

Actually, Ryuko, I don't. We broke up about 2 weeks ago. Good guess, though!

*bows to AJ

You are an exemplary defender of the virtue of my degree. Not that there is anything wrong or less with a nursing degree, of course.

AnnaJo, I vow to defend your professionalism as a Scientist and Engineer as well, to the best of my ability. And Champion Breeder, too.

Say ... you wear a lot of hats, don't you? Very ... spy-like ... very ... 007-like.

AJ is a spy.

She has a license to kill.

And definite martini preferences.

[Hail]

[Wink]

(nice to see ya, woman!)

Doctors have access to nurse uniforms!

Or at least they do in my dreams... Oh doctor, wasn't I supposed to turn my head and cough?
 
Posted by ElJay (Member # 6358) on :
 
Martini preferences? really? AJ, we have not gotten to drink together yet, really. We should remedy that at the next opportunity.

Edit: So not being able to sleep at 3:30 AM I come bak and re-read, and realize Sara is still talking 007. Never mind. But I'll still buy you a martini if you ever come this way to visit that friend of yours in Rochester. [Smile] Or for any other reason.

Eljay- My apologies if I contributed to derailing your one track mind. Passing up the chance for a one-liner usually exceeds what little restraint I possess.
 
Posted by ElJay (Member # 6358) on :
 
No worries, punwit, and no apologies. You're not going to offend me. [Smile] And taking the 5th was really just my way of saying "none of your business" to the board in general. [Big Grin]
 
Posted by punwit (Member # 6388) on :
 
I didn't really think I had offended you and once again I just buried a little joke in my half-joking apology. [Wink]

ELJay, you of course my take a fifth on this...preferably of vodka, it goes down smooth... [Big Grin]

That lets us speculate with a free hand....lol...
