We're flying from San Francisco to Charlotte, NC & then on to Albany (tried to pick a connecting city that isn't on the top 5 'flights are always late/delayed/cancelled 'cuz of crappy weather or just cuz the airport is way too huge' list, like O'Hare or Newark).
Koelling will be sedated, so my guess is that he's going to realize once we're up in the air how fun it actually is, & be bummed that he was too zoned to enjoy it. Last edited by Jax : March 14th, 2008 at 11:59 AM. |

Remember that B.A. Baracus of the A-Team used to not like to fly either, but they always got him on a plane somehow.

I was on a flight once were wind pushed the plane down 3000 feet in like 2 seconds , I damn near pissed my pants, then the turbulence bounced us around like a boat at sea for 20 minutes, a baby in the row in front of me would not stop crying and to top it all off I COULD NOT SMOKE.........have fun Steve..........ROFLMAO
At least the cusion under the seat is a floatation device, but between here and NC there aint no water. |

You'll be fine SK. I always get a little nervous before flying. But once you settle in and relax bit, it is quite enjoyable. I always sleep during a flight, it passes the time nicely. Couple of beers before flying takes the edge off too. I'll be home and tuned in on Saturday! Looking forward to it.

Dude, I wish you could be there in person instead of just listening. I know we'd have a lot to talk about. But, once I get past this "first time" experience on a plane, I have a feeling I'll be doing this more often....so we'll have to schedule a huge get together.

I've flown a ton and I'm still kicking, so it's really no big deal bro.
Two words...... BLOODY MARY. A couple of those will hook you up. Also, drink a lot of water during your flight (kinda goes against the obtaining a buzz thing, but whatever...). The extremely dry air of a planes cabin can dehydrate you in no time. You'll then feel really tired and cranky, and by default that means that Sorrell shall have to destroy you :-) ~B

LOL Adam. Sorrell's going to want to destroy me the first time I say "Stevie, are we almost there yet? Can I go potty? What are these buttons for? Do you wanna listen to some Yanni or John Tesh? When did you get that tattoo? Would you mind if I sang my personal favorite selections of show tune songs?" That's why he's bringing his parachute.

Try the Ben Stiller "don't say the word 'BOMB' on an airplane" routine and see how exciting things get.
