Kiwiology Posted April 12, 2012 Posted April 12, 2012 Actually he is an airline pilot I met while working for United and he is now a Naval aviator
ERDoc Posted April 12, 2012 Author Posted April 12, 2012 That's funny because I've HEARD that in the booth with the glory hole it says, "Ruff the paramedic/IT guy was here." But like I said, that's just what I've heard since I've never been there. Is your friend an instructor? I might be able to help him out of his mom's basement.
Just Plain Ruff Posted April 12, 2012 Posted April 12, 2012 (edited) Funny thing ERDoc, I was in Cirillas the other day and I distinctly remember in the display case there was this HUGE Sex toy and it said "Endorsed by WADE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" The gal behind the counter said this "Wade's a legend at this Store" She said for you to come back, your punch card is about to expire. Edited April 12, 2012 by Captain Kickass
Kiwiology Posted April 12, 2012 Posted April 12, 2012 (edited) Yes he an instructor but I think he is in the Navy full time now, are you looking for lessons? When I was involved with the FAA-CADP project back in 2006-2008 I became certified to work the CAMRN sector of the N90 TRACON - the New York Terminal Radar Approach Control facility located in Westbury, Lawn Guyland. This particular sector of the TMA took airplanes arriving from the south and east primarily as well as those who could come in from the west very high and get a very long path around if Kennedy was landing west or north; went something like this "morning New York it's november 123 alpha bravo approaching LENDY, level 190" "Yo cessna 3 alpha bravo New York approach good morning, depart LENDY heading one six zero, radar vectoring for VOR/DME 13L approach, information is .... lima" "Eh Matty I can't undawstand dis foo tawkin with da funny accenta like my cousin Vinnie froma de old country?" Bloody hell Ruff good going, you totally killed my bad ass mental image of Emergentologist; I am going to pretend that Emergentologist's name is Sal Desouzza or Lenny Stantanasto or something, sounds more bad ass New Yorker than bloody Wade, that's almost as bad as my name being Ben. No diss bro we still love you Reminds me of one of our nurses, here favourite line is "love you long time five dollar!" funny as shit ... Edited April 12, 2012 by Kiwiology
ERDoc Posted April 12, 2012 Author Posted April 12, 2012 You misunderstood Ruff, I was the MODEL for that huge toy. No sweat Kiwi, would it make you feel better if I told you my last name was Jackhammer or something?
Kiwiology Posted April 12, 2012 Posted April 12, 2012 (edited) Um, no ... you're never going to be as cool now in my mind then if your name was bad ass like Sal Desouzza or Lenny Stanatnataso or something It'd be totally cooler if my name was Jack Slade or Max Power or James Smooth or something ... but it's not, it's Ben, it's very sad But um yeah, hey got any single cousins or nieces under thirty? And dude tell your porn shop to get with the times, I have a loyalty app on my smartypants phone I can swipe over their thing Edited April 12, 2012 by Kiwiology
ERDoc Posted April 12, 2012 Author Posted April 12, 2012 Thanks for ruining my image Ruff. As for the cousins or neices, I have none.
Just Plain Ruff Posted April 12, 2012 Posted April 12, 2012 You misunderstood Ruff, I was the MODEL for that huge toy. No sweat Kiwi, would it make you feel better if I told you my last name was Jackhammer or something? You would be hard pressed to be the only model for that toy. I mean there were moving parts and all. If I had the mindset at the time I saw it, I would have taken a picture but I was afraid that having that on my camera would have been considered illegal in over 44 countries and against at least 14 different treaties.
