happythoughts 0 #1 April 5, 2004 story clicky Houston pilot training method. 1. Pick an event, like your 21st birthday. 2. Drink for 4 days. 3. Select a plane by breaking into a dozen hangars. There are probably some where you did community service. 4. Load your extra beer into the co-pilot seat. If God isn't your co-pilot, maybe Busch can be. 5. Open the operators manual. 6. Take it for a spin with an indefinite destination in mind. 7. Cause mayhem and destruction by whacking some power lines and knocking out the power to 2 nearby towns. 8. Destroy the evidence by crashing the plane. 9. Make a miracle landing and walk away. QuoteOn the fourth day of a serious bout of drinking, the unemployed tree-cutter broke into more than a dozen hangars at a Texas airport, stole two planes and ended up flying one into a power line, police told the Houston Chronicle. The incident began early Sunday when Kadlecek, who'd been partying since his birthday Wednesday, stumbled into the Brazoria County Airport (search), where he'd performed community service as part of a sentence for a previous arrest. He started up one plane and took it for a spin around the tarmac before deciding it would be too tough to fly, Brazoria County Chief Deputy Sheriff Charles Wagner told the newspaper. Kadlecek apparently then set his sights lower, picking out a single-engine Cessna (search). He loaded it up with a case of stolen beer, threw the operator's manual open onto the seat beside him, and set off. Out on the runway, Kadlecek told the police, he figured he'd "go for it," revved up the engine, and took off. About a mile into his journey, he flew right into a set of high-voltage power lines. The propeller tore through the lowest one, which was carrying over 100,000 volts, knocking out electricity for two nearby towns. "He said he saw a bright flash of light," Wagner said, adding that Kadlecek punctuated the moment with a hearty "Oh, [expletive]!" The Cessna plunged 100 feet and crashed into a muddy field adjoining a local prison. Kadlecek got out, crossed a highway and walked three miles home. Unfortunately for him, several people saw the crash. One man called 911, figured the pilot was dead and went on to his golf game. Others gave police a sketch of the mystery man. When asked where he'd been heading in the Cessna, Kadlecek replied, "I don't know, Mexico, maybe." Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Ok how many of you wondered where Tree-man was this past weekend when you read this. If you don't know tree-man, well you are just missing out. Never look down on someone, unless they are going down on you. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

happythoughts 0 #5 April 5, 2004 I remember when they had an episode of Cops from Tampa. Everyone stayed in the dz trailer and watch to see if we recognized anyone. Turned out it was a guy in a clown suit busting hookers. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Kris 0 #6 April 5, 2004 Holy Schnikes! At least I wasn't the only one who thought about TreeMan. Where has that guy been? You know....I've always wondered if he was related to SkymonkeyOne.

I was wondering the same thing about Satan and Santa. You never see them together, the both have red suits, their names are anagrams of each other. Coincidence?
