The Anything Goes Thread

Actually I think Tabanico is the next Frenchy (with better success ratio and less bitching and moaning)

We all know the real question is does he provide penetration or not.

But even the big book says "yet for us there is only one Frenchy and thou should not have other Frenchys before him".

Is he (the next Frenchy) a provider as well?

At my local coffee shop. The sax guy is killing it....and not in a good way. Tone quality and intonation is just awful

My sympathy for your ears. My regular watering hole, the owner has a couple of friends who are convinced they are capable of putting on an a musical performance.

If I ever open a bar, and I allow friends who are not already professional musicians to play, someone please slap me.

Hey, this is called Jazz, how dare you?:D

Now to be fair, classical Japanese music doesn't exactly match the tonal schemes we are used to and atonal music became THE thing in the early 20th century. Maybe he just took inspiration in the wrong places;)
 
Well shit, fuckitty, G_d-diddly-dammit!!!!!!! Today it was made official.

As you all know COVID-19 has had a huge, negative effect on the airline business. Fewer people are traveling therefore fewer flights, and therefore less work for pilots. Some pilots were on greatly reduced schedules such as I was; flying enough just to stay current. Many others were furloughed, whilst some were offered early retirement, and some were just laid the fuck off with no benefits. I knew it was coming since Friday (hence the severe intoxication previously reported), but today was the day I was officially notified by the company. I have been laid off.

I had planned on leaving the business within the next couple of years. It was my silly idea to retire at 17,520 hours (approx. 2 years), which I was not too far away from. I never wanted to be one of those pilots that keeps working until mandatory retirement. Still, I cannot adequately my profound sadness. I am damn good at what I do, and I genuinely enjoy all aspects of my job. There is the chance I could get rehired when the business returns to almost normal, but that could be a couple of years if not more.

Since my PR in Japan was tied to my job I would have to leave the country. Fortunately an Air Force friend was able to hook me with a job on a base in the Kanto area. It is a shitty low paying job, but it gives me SOFA status (and a post office box to receive shit from the US!). Money is not the issue. Between my military retirement, savings, and investments I don't need a "real" job. The house and cars are paid for, though I will have to put on hold the plan to buy one of the new Toyota Harrier models. My girls are both gainfully employed (not like that, you pervs!). Most importantly I can still support my SB.

So, after twenty three years in the T-37, T-38, F-16, C-17, and the 787 I bring my career as a professional pilot to a close. The only positive to all this is that I finish with 15,069 hours total. Now, let's go get drunk.

sounds to me like it may be a blessing in disguise !
Cheers and lets have a few drinks together if you need a snarky yet empathic Frenchy buddy :)
