I'll be fine. I'll be your bounty, Jubal Early. And I'll just fade away.

Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.
Hey, there everyone. Almanzo and I have just found a great apartment in Rushcutters' Bay - it's in our budget, great neighborhood and we can move in next week. If our application goes through. So any real-estatate-ma would be greatly welcomed. Also welcomed would be advice about Australian apartment renting.
I'm renting an Australian apartment right now, AIFG! Anything in particular you want to know?
Madrigal, maybe ask billytea or one of our other aussies, so it's coming from someone closer to local?
Be happy to. What would you like me to cover? Can I send them COMM samples?

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
Yikes!

Greek fighter jets scrambled after plane lost contact with control tower
eta:
One of the F-16 pilots reported he could not see the captain in the cockpit and that the co-pilot appeared to be slumped in his seat, a Greek Defense Ministry official told Reuters.
damn weird
eta²:
Greek television reported that a passenger on plane said in a cellphone text message to his cousin before the crash that the pilots were slumped and that it was freezing in the plane.
“The pilot has turned blue (in the face),” the passenger said in a text message to his cousin, TV reports said.
“Cousin farewell we’re freezing,” it said.

Um, eeek? Wasn't there a golf pro whose private plane developed an oxygen problem and flew halfway across the US before crashing a couple years ago?

Paine Stewart's plane?
Yeah, our holiday weekend just got booked up. The consular officers have the worst of it, but the DH has aviation in his portfolio (and just spoke with Tsolakis on Friday).
Those poor people. Gah.

You always do this. We get tipsy, and you take advantage of my love of the scientific method.

Yup, Payne Stewart.

On a completely different topic, someone posted a link to a diagram that charts various sexual deviations and fetishes...anyone remember where that is?

Oh, Raq, I thought of you and the embassy -- it figures you'd be affected one way or the other. I'll be selfish enough to hope there weren't any Americans on board for your DH's sake, because I'm sure it will make everything more complicated than it already is.
Here in MA we're at 77 degrees... with a dewpoint of about 76. At least it isn't as hot as yesterday. I may venture forth from my house today.
