I ment when we meet for a good ol' bavarian beer drinking competition in two months!

Sorry, even in college I never considered drinking a competitive sport. I enjoy alcohol in the same manner I enjoy all food.....I savor the taste and experince. If you think I challeged you to a drinking contest , then let me resign right now. I offerred to buy you a drink or two, but I'll pass on the competitive aspects. [:)]

[:D][:D][:D]
Well, then let's enjoy the taste of about 10 to 12 liters of beer

That much beer you don't drink. You 'rent'.

[Chickenboy]

And a morning tithe...[&o]

How does renting beer work?
take enough time and enough to eat and 10 liters are quite well doable. You don't drink it within 20min though.

I had 9 literes when I was at Mike's, and even Mike managed to gulp 8 literes. [:)]

Oh yes, but at the wrong time. Problem is exactly as Andre identified - My sleeping rhythm is totally off.

You 'rent' beer because intake and output will eventually come to a steady state. If, after a few hours, you consume 9 liters of beer you will-in comparatively short order-have to dispose of 9 liters of processed beer by one means or another.

Besides, Mike is a girly man with regards to beer consumption. Please don't use the USS Mike metric and assume that all Americans as as effete as he is. [;)]

I wonder if going out and getting some range time with a Steyr AUG would help relax you a bit dude...[8D]

Bird strike leaves MASSIVE hole in United Airlines jet as it lands at Denver airport

By DailyMail UK

An unidentified bird smashed into a United Airlines Boeing 737 as it descended into Denver International Airport (DIA) Tuesday morning, leaving a giant gash in the nose of the aircraft.

Despite the mid-air collision, Flight 1475 landed safely at 9:09 am and was escorted to a gate on the B concourse. The plane was traveling from Dallas/Fort Worth to Denver.

The plane’s pilots were aware of the bird strike and declared an emergency. They reported damage to the jet’s horizontal stabilizer and airs peed indicators, but it had no bearing on the landing, according to ABC7.


Mid-air collision: A bird struck a United Airlines Flight 1475 just 25 miles from Denver International Airport:




Airport officials said the bird crashed into the plane about 25 miles outside of DIA's property.

None of the 151 passengers on board was injured, Christen David, a spokeswoman for United Airlines, told ABC News.

Photos of the damaged aircraft show a large gash and dent under the cockpit windows.

Steve Cowell, an aviation expert and pilot, told ABC7 that the nose is the best part of plane a bird could strike since it is largely empty of crucial electronic instruments.

Wildlife experts believe that the bird involved in the collision Tuesday morning was likely a large goose or duck.


Close call: Although the strike left the nose of the Boeing 737 with a massive gash it didn't affect the landing, and none of the passengers was hurt:




However, the exact species will be identified when officials from the Smithsonian Institution in Washington analyze the remains of the unfortunate fowl, which were recovered from the surface of the jet.

Paul Eschenfelder, adjunct professor at Embry Riddle Aeronautical University, told ABC News that modern airline engines are designed in a way that enables them to ingest a four-pound bird without jeopardizing the safety of the people in the plane.

However, Eschenfelder said none of the engines currently in use are built to survive a close encounter with a critter weighing between eight-15lbs.


Landing: Flight 1457 traveling from Dallas/Fort Worth was struck about 25 miles outside the Denver International Airport:




The number of animal strikes reported annually has increased from 1,793 in 1990 to 9,622 in 2010, with birds involved in 97.2 percent of strikes, according to the Federal Aviation Administration.

Seventy percent of those strikes occurred when the aircraft was at less than 500 feet elevation, according to the United States Department of Agriculture.

Birdstrike.org estimates that wildlife strikes cause more than $600million in damage to U.S. civil and military aviation annually. According to the organization, more than 219 people have died worldwide as a result of wildlife strikes since 1988.


Troublemakers: wildlife experts believe the bird involved in the strike was likely a large goose or duck:




The National Transportation and Safety Board has been called in to investigate the Denver incident-- as is standard in bird-strike cases.

The bird strike report came just hours after the Denver airport received a non-specified bomb threat, according to police

It's a Canadian scourge around these here parts. [:@] [turns to magnetic north, adjusts for 'true' north, shakes fist in general direction of Canada]

Canada geese are increasingly nuisance species in the upper midwest. Some of them have decided that the whole 'migrating thing' isn't their bag and decide to take up residence and reproduce wherever they are.

There are some lakes-fed by power plants or natural springs-that are on their migratory flyways that don't freeze over. These lakes are literally covered over in Canada geese in the winter months. Their copious feces contaminate lakes, rivers and other bodies of water too.

I say there should be no bag limit on 'em. We'd knock the numbers down pretty well within a few years.

[Schanilec]

Bag limit is going up to possibly 15 Canada's this year. Possesion limit of 30.[:)]

[Schanilec]

But if that plane was flying up here it could have been a mosquito hit.[;)]

But you have to do it humanely. [:-]

Although hitting one with a plane scores extra style points. [:D]

And stop it with this faber nonsense. [:-]

It is a proposed Canada bag limit. The U.S. Wildlife Service may have something to say about that; since that is who has the final say on the matter.[8|]
Now Snow's have a pretty big bag/possession limit. I'm not sure how big though. I'll look it up.
If you're considering making a foray up here, I have some primo waterfowl land.[:)] Sometimes flocks of over 3,000. And the further west you go, the bigger the flocks, at times over 20,000 or more. It's pretty cool to watch at sunrise over 100,000 geese take to the air from off the water.

[Schanilec]

It is 15 bag and 30 possession limits on Canada's. Early season Canada starts 15 August.

[Chickenboy]

Um hmmm...makes perfect sense:



The Rules of Cricket

You have two sides, one out in the field and one in.

Each man that’s in the side that’s in goes out, and when he’s out he comes in and the next man goes in until he’s out.

When they are all out, the side that’s out comes in and the side thats been in goes out and tries to get those coming in, out.

Sometimes you get men still in and not out.

When a man goes out to go in, the men who are out try to get him out, and when he is out he goes in and the next man in goes out and goes in.

There are two men called umpires who stay out all the time and they decide when the men who are in are out.

When both sides have been in and all the men have out, and both sides have been out twice after all the men have been in, including those who are not out, that is the end of the game!
