PostSubject: It's a "guy thing"   It's a "guy thing" I_icon_minitimeThu Jun 19, 2014 8:07 am

I was driving down the highway with my family and twice during the 60 minute trip crop dusting planes crossed our path. The first one was flying back and forth over the highway, and as we got closer the pilot performed an Immelmann turn, and upon completing his turn ended up coming towards us from our two o'clock position, passing overhead no higher than pheasants I have shot at. Thirty or so minutes later we are driving along and I see another plane coming at us from our twelve o'clock, not much higher than the first one. 

Now there are a couple of things you need to know about me:

1. When I was younger I loved the WWI and WWII flight simulator games -- Red Baron, Secret Weapons of the Luftwaffe, Aces of the Pacific, etc.
2. I just finished watching the HBO mini-series "Band of Brothers" not even a week prior to this, and I had recently watched the first two episodes of the the HBO mini-series "The Pacific"
3. When the first plane flew over I was actually listening to Iron Maiden, and the song playing was "Where Eagles Dare"!!

So with the above in mind I did what any self-respecting guy in my position would do: I grabbed my air guns and --- RAT-A-TAT-TAT --- I shot those suckers out of the sky!!!!

My wife, being the uber-intelligent and extremely down-to-earth woman that she is, looked at me like I was some type of alien. I don't know what her problem was; I was only protecting my family!! 

 lol!

If your wife only knew how close you all were to dying she'd have thrown her arms around you and said, "My Heeerow!"

Kind of like the Great White in the Gulf Of Mexico. I thought it was cool but my wife was "ehh". Katherine was last tracked near here (Panama City, FL) and Great Whites in the Gulf are rare.

As I was reading that I was thinking 'yesssss!'  I think most self-respecting guys would do exactly the same.  It was only yesterday that I shot a couple of kids (one being me son... although he shot me back!)

Beardad YOU ROCK !! Yesss !!! haha !! I love it !
Just as young girls talk incessantly and young boys make brum brum sounds with a hotwheel, we never change ! Our bodies just get bigger  Laughing 
I would've done the same thing. Many times when a car is going WAY too slow in front of me and I can't pass, I would press an imaginary button on the dash and make the machine gun noise blowing that car into little pieces so I could drive through the firey wreckage - my kids loved it when they were young  Very Happy

I would pretend I was driving KITT and hit the turbo boost button.

I'm glad to hear my actions apparently had nothing to do with the song, recently watched shows, or computer games from my past and is just a naturally male response.

When I was a kid I read "With Friends Like These ...", a book of short stories by Alan Dean Foster, and in "Why Johnny Can't Speed" he pursued the possibility. The following is from Amazon:

"Why Johnny Can't Speed" (1971) What if Congress opted to pay for a nationwide mass transit system by eliminating highway patrols, and the Supreme Court ruled that attempts to regulate interstate highway systems were in violation of the 1st Amendment? Machine guns and rocket launchers built into cars, that's what. Frank Irwin, learning of the death of his only son in a lane change dispute, prepares to exact payback

I have always loved that story!

Haha I remember walking through campus in college with a friend and shooting some obnoxious squirrels with my air shotgun... right as a campus security was driving by...  He gave me an awfully funny look but just kept on driving.

When my kids where young I used to make sound effects noises while I was driving (like squealing tires when I turned any corner, and up and down shifting noises like we were in some kind of race). Then I would weave the car back and forth (staying in my lane) so the kids could pretend they were on a roller coaster. The kids loved it....wife not so much.

^Very true!  I intentionally run over stuff while driving just to hear it pop (coffee cups, apples, dry leaves, etc.).  I also like dodging the little reflectors while changing lanes (my dad is the master of this) and at night if there's someone driving towards me, I always try to beat them at turning off one's brights.

And speaking of guys/stereotypes, a couple years ago I cooked dinner for the gal I was dating one evening.  We hadn't been dating for very long at this point.  She went into my fridge to get something and looked at me and said, "Kerrick, I never thought those stereotypes of bachelor guys were true... until now."  My fridge has basically nothing but beer and condiments hahaha.

There is this low point in the road right next to the sidewalk in front of our local police station that fills up with a lot of water every time it rains.  I almost always steer to the right so I can hit it and spray a bunch of water up on the sidewalk, the kids love it (even now that they are all older).  I did it one time and my son said "Dad you got that pedestrian all wet!".....took me a second to realize he was joking.

Haha that's great!  I [used to] do that too.  The road I live off of gets a few massive puddles during the winter.  I actually managed to get water into my distributor because I was hitting those so hard.  (I drive a 2000 Dodge Stratus.)  It caused my car to run really rough and I couldn't figure out why!

There are times while driving that the road turns continually and you go up and then down and up again. I usually end up visualizing that I am on a rollercoaster.

Oh staybrite, that's the best. My parents watch our son after school (and soon all day, till school starts back up) and just outside their neighborhood on the way back home, there's a stretch that's probably 200 feet where a puddle gathers every 10 feet or so. You'd think my five year old was riding something at Six Flags when we drive through.
