Spreading the word... hallelujah!
« on: August 18, 2006, 04:26:54 AM »
There's a largish flight school which uses the hotel in which I'm currently staying (in St. Louis), and they gather in the lobby in the
evenings to study and gab. I felt somehow compelled to join them (odd, eh?) and at some point I mentioned this week's strip.
I got blank stares, "Who's Chuck?"
I told 'em, and hopefully they'll see the light.

Do you remember the cryogenic room from where Austin Powers was taken out in the first episode?

I give that landing a 9 . . . on the Richter scale.

Thanks for spreading the gospel!  |:)\ After all, converting the infidels and enlighten their hitherto underprivileged minds is not only a good deed in itself but also promotes aviation safety! Now they know who Chuck is, and how to react if he ever comes into their airspace!  ;) ;D

In a rapidly expanding radial pattern?  ;D

Hmm, on a strip, the controllers could notice a 'trend' like that, so they decide the guy in the middle MUST be Chuck.

Once again. Two pilots, a young fellow and a very.... very attractive young woman were checking in to the hotel here.
I called out in a hoarse stage whisper, "Read Chicken Wings"
I don't think they noticed.
I walked normally to the nearby elevator and went in. As the doors were closing, I repeated, "Read.............. Chickenwings!"

I ran into 'em upstairs and told 'em about the site. I think I need to work on my amateur theatrics.

Hey, how about a Chuck mask and a big sign? I can wander around the airports wearing both.  ;D

Great idea!

Maybe we can get some "chicken-suits" made and have various people all over the country put them on and taxi up
in an airplane with them.... ;) ;D

That should be chicken suits in character, so basically a pilot with a tail and a Chuck head, and a mechanic with a Julio head and then of course Hans.... I think my current shape would be suitable for that, and since I can't fly either (cry) then that would work :D
