Chuck When Will You Be Here!....

oh man, at least youre in Toronto.

what are the odds of him coming to Australia? next-to-none im guessing.

*sob*

Dude--what are the odds of him coming to Nebraska? Do we really want to open this can of worms?

but-- you guys are amount of states away from Oregon-- if thats where the Man gets funky the most. think about it-- im across the fucking ocean. a big ocean. a rather vast ocean. u dig?

i can dig it (gotta love that sam jackson). but still, do you know how hard it is for a candian to get into america without being treated like an african american in the 60's. pretty fackin hard. no worries sonck, eventually he'll come down under, if not you can come up here, road trip to oregan!

Yes, BUT--there is a fair chance of him doing an international tour, if he's never done one before, and since both of you live in major cities and my town is small and therefore....

dammit, wes! Your sig made me lose my train of thought! It dances....dances....dances *slaps herself*

Anyway, I live in absolutely the middle of nowhere and now I forgot my point. Crap.

GOOOOOOOOOOOO TORONTO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

hell yeah, if there is EVER anything like conference again- ill be there 'with bells on'. 'cos at that time, ill actually have a bit of cash- in order to travel across the great divide that is the Pacifico.

WOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!! man we should hold a cult party or something, get together at a hotel and fuckin rip it up then head out to a conference or tour location

this is hypothetically speaking if i manage to drag my sorry ass over there.
but id very much like to. if i can. etc.

for sure dude! if no one else shows up...well we got a whole lotta fucking booze to ourself than, im sure we'll be able to convince chuck to drink it with us

i have a feeling he prolly has matured past the 'cool, lets get fucked up on booze' stage- but no matter, i cant say the same for myself, given appropriate circumstances. in theory- sounds great- i mean- reading all of the posts/stories and seeing pics of conference -- i got kind jealous.

yknow, were not a penal colony any more-- its pretty cool to visit here. promise.
something, i recommend any and every Cultist to try and do in their lifetimes.

I would go Wes, but as I told Rohan: I would go, if I weren't mortally terrified of planes, and I weren't poor. Then I'd be rocking in the Down Under!

i know i feel like we're all friends here. i've posted so muc i seriously dont think of any of you guys as lil internet buddies, i think of you guys as actual cool people i talk to

may i offer some ideas for solutions:

a. therapy
b. a good paying job.

and this is all in the future, yknow, no hurry.

planes are scary. even if i werent scarred (event ho i am i still go on them) they suck anyways, babies crying, it smells, uncomfortable seats, and you have to be quicka s hell to go to the bathroom, cant just take your time. everythings a rus on plane

not that i am aware of, but then again i missed the gd conference by a day.

Wes is right, I need heaps of therapy. So if I ever get a good-paying job (which is kind of doubtful) I'll probably spend the money on shrink visits.

What exactly is it that scares you about flying? I've grown up around planes, so I never had that problem. As Lloyd said, your more likely to die in a car crash on the way to the airport than you are to die on a plane. Especially now that security at the airport is less of an illusion. Still not fool proof, but nothing like it used to be, at least that I'm aware of.

i need therapy too. there's SARS in toronto. and i'm afraid to fly as well.

I'm afraid of heights to a great degree. I have a hard time standing on tables or chairs. Plus I just always seem to have a lot of bad plane-related experiences. I've been stuck in O'Hare overnight, had my luggage lost 2 times by the same airport, caught the flu from the guy next to me, blah blah blah.

so what theres SARS in toronto, ya cant be a pussy and worry about things all thru life. you worry too much and you dont live

Dude, don't brag to me about SARS. A) You cannot come down on me for hating planes when, several posts ago, you said you hated planes, and I was in Japan during that whole Asian mosquitos carrying scary-ass diseases thing. So kindly lay off.

So it's heights you're mainly scared of? Here's a funny little fact: There are a lot of pilots out there who are actually scared shitless of heights. For some reason they can get on planes, but stuff like standing on chairs makes them crap their pants. I don't know how they deal with it, but they do.
And not to belittle your horrible airport/airplane experiences, but oh boy do I have some horror stories for you. I've been living around planes since day one, so I've seen quite a bit.

lol jane i was talking about sars, not your fear of planes lol!! cause right now tons of people are fraid to come here cause of sars and everyoens got a friggin mask on

my sig is too serious funny funny. it needs to be funny funny, nein serious!

Okay, I forgive you, knox.

I met a guy once who said he could tell me horror stories about airplanes, specifically airplane food. I said, "What, like in Fight Club?" thinking of that whole oxygen masks get you high thing. He said no, nothing like that...but he did tell me that if a flight gets delayed or cancelled, the flight attendants spray a hairspray-like edible coating on the food to keep it "fresh." He said after a while the food gets a white coating on it.

EW.

eww, i had a freind who was a bag thrower, than he got fired or something lol

OK.

Why I Hate Planes
by Kitty.

When I walk onto a plane, going through that long tube into the plane feels like a march to a death chamber. Getting on the plane, I feel trapped, strapped in like cattle, and I feel like we are all definitely going to die. I have to take an Atavan before I get on a plane, otherwise I will literally fight and struggle not to get on, and if forced on, I will cry helplessly as we take off and land.

You're right, Rents, it's a completely irrational fear. You're right about the statistics. I can't tell you how many times someone's said to me, "you're more likely to..." followed by blah blah blah like struck by lightning, get in a car accident, etc. Here's why that makes no difference to me whatsoever:

1) I don't care which is more likely to happen. There's something about the fiery, flaming, screaming, free-falling, inescapable descent of a plane crash that just bothers me more than the idea of a fiery, flaming, screaming car crash. Maybe it's because if you're in a car and something goes wrong, there's a chance you might still survive. But if you're in a plane and something goes wrong, you're fucked, and you'll probably have about two or three minutes of perfect consciousness to contemplate your doom before it tears you limb from limb. So it's not the likelihood but the scope and magnitude of a plane-related disaster that bothers me. It's not dying that bothers me--it's the way I'd die in a plane crash.

2) I've always been afraid of large machines, especially large machines that make a lot of noise. A plane fits this criteria perfectly. My little Toyota Corrolla does not.

3) While driving my little Toyota Corrolla, I have at least an illusion of control. Yes, I know it is an illusion, but it keeps me from needing that Atavan.

4) If someone took my Toyota Corrolla and crashed it into an office building, 3000 people wouldn't die horrible deaths.

You can rationally refute all of the above points, I know. So can I. But it doesn't stop me from panicking at the prospect of air travel. So what else can I say.
