AVGAS
Flying really is an environmental hazard.
I’m waiting for Snopes.com to get to the bottom of this story.

‘I’ve got a loaded ass here, and I’m not afraid to use it!’Posted by SwinishCapitalist on 2006 12 06 at 09:32 PM • permalinkBismillah! The towel heads have had weapons of mass destruction for centuries and they’ve never realised! Jeez, just load one of the faithful up with enough Kofta, baked Camel, Donkey and other assorted Middle Eastern treats, washed down with a good dose of Nile Water, let it ferment, put them on a plane and boom.

Since when have airline portions been big enough to produce flatulence?

Since when have airline portions been big enough to produce flatulence?
Well I’ve just returned from the States and Canada. One flight was with AA, you have to buy your food, and nothing smelt out of the ordinary!
Hmm let me see, the woman buys her flatulence inducing snack kipper (fisk), then lights a match! Actually I don’t think this makes sense because the inflammable component would be too dilute to ignite. Oh dear, perhaps it’s just as well she probably can’t better the 1993 Darwin Awards on death by farting and take out the whole plane. Now that would be terrifying.
More facts on farts for anyone who is interested.
O/T, but the manager of the Carter Center has just turned a flame thrower on the Grandee of Georgia Goobery. Anybody else smell roasted peanuts?
#16, #18—It’s not a mystery, it’s Government regulations.
It’s permissible to have matches on the flight, in reasonable quantity, i.e. one’s pockets don’t actually bulge; it simply isn’t permissible to light them.
On the other hand, it’s absolutely forbidden to have a cigarette lighter, either on your person or in checked luggage. If the Terminally Silly Agency discovers one they will confiscate it.
On the third hand, I have a propane-powered soldering iron which I sometimes carry in my (checked) toolbox. Its presence has never been questioned. On another hand (how many is that? I lost track), I have never lit a cigarette with it in the view of a TSA official.
Discussions of “sense” or “rationality” are irrelevant wastes of time. It’s The Regulations.

RicThis has caused further unneccesary complications for our brave air marshals as they will now need to carry cans of air freshener spray and those little scented christmas trees that hang from the rear vision mirror. Then again perhaps Richard Reid was only trying to burn of his foot odour. Most considerate chap.
Is that what they mean by the “Mile High Club”?

Posted by Infidel Tiger on 2006 12 07 at 12:53 AM • permalinkThese days, flaming off emissions is considered to be very environmentally unfriendly. I believe it’s politically correct to sequester your carbon emissions now.

Snopes has the story here.Posted by SwinishCapitalist on 2006 12 07 at 02:26 AM • permalinkChrist, Jean the Ripper, just gave the jihadi’s a new weapons technology.
It didn’t say, but had she been wearing panty hose, the build up could have blown the damn flight from the “friendly skies” or on to Mars
Countdown to ignition..5,4,3,2,1
One would think, that corks will be issued henceforth, but then my God depending on build up…the damn cork could, well… that’s just to horrible to think of, or discuss.
You liked that one eh, El Cid?
Tell you what: nick over to you tube and look for “She Held It In.”
Continuing the gaseous theme of this thread…Posted by SwinishCapitalist on 2006 12 07 at 02:52 AM • permalink#26, oh yes, saving your emissions and burying them underground is the way of the future.
Posted by Art Vandelay on 2006 12 07 at 06:22 AM • permalinkI usually get seated beside people like Little Miss Flatulence. I find it useful to carry a scarf scented with perfume and hold it up to my nose frequently. On occassion I simply wear it around my head as a kerchief, Jesse James style.
Posted by wronwright on 2006 12 07 at 07:05 AM • permalinkSorry paco, but yes. He also liked wearing his leather chaps without pants. Let’s just say that he and his very close friend, Billy the Cute Kid, were the original

My 84-year old mother takes a dose of Beano before she flies or whenever she’s out in public for an extended period. And we’re all exceedingly grateful.

Modesty prohibits me from describing the effects of the garlic laden sausages I have consumed this evening…

gastrofartoisis or some other made up name that none of us knew existed.

It was actually the “Wide West”; they were very inclusive. Standing tall in the saddle, what?
