Broken Planes & Families, and the number 159

Passenger jet breakes in two! How safe are those planes we ride everyday?

GEORGETOWN, Guyana (AP) — Officials say a U.S. team is expected soon in the South American nation of Guyana to probe the crash of a Boeing 737 jetliner that all 163 people aboard survived.

Authorities so far have given little idea about the cause of Saturday's crash. The Caribbean Airlines plane ran off the end of a runway at Guyana's main airport and broke in two. About 30 people had to be treated at a local hospital, including the pilot.

The airline is largely owned by the government of Trinidad and Tobago and its prime minister has visited the crash site. Kamla Persad-Bissessar says she is worried that the accident will hurt tourism to the Caribbean, a region that depends heavily on the industry.

Like that scene in 2010 where the Russian cosmonaut says that a particular task would be "Like a piece of pie." Only, . . . when the 'Merkins tell him the phrase is "A piece of cake," Mr. Cosmonaut feared loss of honor and spent a bajillion posts to explain that "he can't help that inbred reeruns couldn't comprehend his dessert metaphor skills, but he knows he and his son were 'Thuper Therially' smart."

They make the pie/cake joke twice.

Lithgow: "Dumb."

Russian: "Easy as cake."

Lithgow: "Pie. Easy as pie. Still dumb."

Then they would not be total idiots like the ones I've been dealing with here, would they. This group IS a village of idiots. You keep covering it with cat litter, but the cat shit is still there.

In the village of idiots, the idiots are "normal."

This was an apology? Something to build up to an asinine demand? I accepted it because I did not want this particular side of the argument to go on much longer while the bigot idiot Preparation H was doing his carpet bombing of insults to a lady who is not even in the conversation.

So are you retracting your acceptance of my apology?

Do you also still deny that I have owned up to the fact that I made a joke in which I suggested that your mother was a whore?

In the land of Mensa, the man with 159 IQ is a reerun.

Frankie, in my head I keep imagining that you look somewhat like George Lopez with long hair. Like this:



Is that even close?

Frankie going on the new show, "Are you smarter than 15.9 piles of camel shit"




Doesn't look good for the lying clown.

Non 159 post is non 159.

Did I miss anything here?

But hey, carry on. Whatever it takes to make you feel good about yourself at somebody else's expense.

From the looks of it, you did miss a fairly humorous bit at the outset. Probably as chuckle-worthy as 'If you had never met me and didn't know what I looked like, you probably wouldn't recognize me when you saw me' of yore.

Frankie posted news coverage and images regarding the catastrophic effects of a plane running off a runway into soft earth, and asked us all to imagine if the air present at 35K feet managed to do the same damage. Like the first 50 posts were some variant of a facepalm, several said he can't be serious, he must be having a laugh. Then Frankie returns to assure us he's super cereal. The thread takes off from there.

The afterburners were engaged somewhere in the 260s of posts.

The comments have been .01% political with someone randomly interjecting 'well Frankie, your sig suggests you like Obama.' Real scathing stuff.

But yes, the remainder is a typical episode of Frankie Springer.
