    This is actually kind of funny. It seems like weeks since I have smiled at a PK lol. Thank you!

  2. “Oh great, which one is ours? Try beeping the alarm, see if that helps.”

    • VictoryNorVengeance says:

      I can imagine a driver trying to finagle a spot and end up like Austin Powers in his gold cart from the first movie.

      • mothergoose says:

        I feel like that in the parking lot behind my office… a fourteen-point turn just to get out ;-)

        • The mall I work at has parking spots so tiny that anything larger than a mid-size sedan has to park kind far away and take up two spaces. Which isn’t really much of an issue since nobody goes to that mall anymore. :-\

          • justacarolinian says:

            Seems to me that parking is getting a lot smaller these days. I drive a Taurus, not a big car. And I’m finding more and more places that once I get in, I can’t open the doors.

            • ay dios mio says:

              I personally think it’s because more and more d-bags drive lifted up monster vehicles and then take up two or more spaces just because they can. At that point instead of compensating people just scoot as close as they can to that truck and just ignore the lines. When you get there you’re looking to park correctly but can’t.
              Or is it just me? :D

              • Nope, not just you. I’ll admit, I’m a horrible parker (and driver, but that’s another story). But at the very least I stay in the lines. LOL

                • viking gal says:

                  My particular peeve is the SUV/monster vehicles parked in the spots marked ‘compact cars only’. Does that mean that 1) they can’t read, or 2) we have permission to stick their vehicle in a junkyard compactor?

                  • ay dios mio says:

                    Both

                  • justacarolinian says:

                    Actually, a exato razor will make a nice and tiny hole in a transmission line. This will leak for miles, sometimes even days. Then whamo, one instant visit to a transmission shop on the back of a toe truck. And those things carry the type of transmissions that cost $1400+ to rebuild. Worse for the 4X4 ones.

              • justacarolinian says:

                I would understand being crammed between 2 Suburbans, and would avoid such spots. But when you have a Yugo on one side and a Neon on the other, and still can’t open the doors?

                • Mad Maxwell Silverhammer says:

                  Heh, South Park mall? ;-)

                • the_original_shortright says:

                  i have an SUV (yeah, i know i’m evil). if i can park in the spot, i will… AS LONG AS my car fits between the lines. i’ve been known to climb out of the sunroof and then reach back through to close it most of the way.

                  however, i WILL NOT park diagonally across lines. i’ll park a half a mile away and walk in if that’s the only spot i’ll fit in.

                  then again, i’ve also parked in a spot once where BOTH people on the sides were over the lines. i stopped, got out of the car, folded in my mirrors, backed into the spot and crawled out the roof. i can only IMAGINE the other drivers a) trying to figure out how i got out of the car and b) trying to figure out how the hell they were going to get into their cars.

                  • paws4thot says:

                    This thread is worthless without pictures! ;)

                    • the_original_shortright says:

                      it was in college… i was also running late to class. no pics. :(

                    • Well, it would look something like this! (You have to admire the dedication of the driver of the truck in the picture….that’s about 2/3 of a parking space!)

                      • the_original_shortright says:

                        it looked pretty similar to that. but the mirrors were folded in.

                        plus, i want to shake the hand of that truck driver. i’ve done things like that too. when you see a dick who obviously doesn’t want someone parked next to him, i’ll park as CLOSE as i can possibly get without crossing the line.

                        the fact that my tires haven’t been slashed yet is a bit of a miracle.

                        • paws4thot says:

                          Thanks Diss; that site is relevant to my interests!

                          TOS, I’ve done the same too. In fact there was one time this @$$hole dropped his car in the middle of a gas station forecourt, and an LHD car and I proceded to box him good while we filled up and paid. Next time I was in I got a free 6-pack of sodas from the station owner.

  3. nativeca66 says:

    Does that deck have a CAT-a-pult?!?
    Oh no. This belongs on ICHC.
    Boo, hiss, etc. :roll:

  4. Dhoti says:

    How to wash an entire air wing at once: park it on the deck, then steam into a storm…

  5. bitter troll says:

    and you know some able body bas-tard will park in the handiecapped spot

    • viking gal says:

      But that means we can take out our gun and ‘cap them!
      *snickers evilly*

    • paws4thot says:

      I have early onset symptoms that could develop that way. If I’m visiting my Mum and I’m having problems we go shopping together, take a “parent and child” space, and if anyone yells I smile sweetly and say “Have you met my mother?”

      • the_original_shortright says:

        paws, i hope you don’t end up with what i’ve got. it’s EVIL.

        i’ve been yelled at for taking a “mother with child” spot when with my mom before. i pointed at my mom and said “this is my mother”… i honestly thought the chick was going to slash my tires. however, her child was also sitting on her lap in the drivers seat. kid was NO more than 2. kwality parenting at work, right?

        • viking gal says:

          I assume that a person with the handicapped parking tag has a need. Maybe because that department in my state’s DMV has a high percentage of disabled employees–and a low percentage of complaints and placard abuse! But because I have both a friend and a parent with walking trouble, it totally steams me when people park in those spots, without need, ‘just for a minute’. GRRR!

        • shortright–Are we talking rheumatoid arthritis? That’s what my mom has and the possibility of me ending up with that is enough to give me nightmares. She’s practically disabled from it, and the meds she has to take for it aren’t exactly nice either.

  6. HelOnWheels says:

    “What do you mean you lost the valet ticket?? Now we’ll have to pay the all-day price.”

  7. OhNoes says:

    Aw crap! There’s no parking spaces ahead and some idiot is behind me so’s I can’t back up!

  8. Foamer says:

    “I hate it when the boss decides to wash the hanger floor.”

  9. thanatos says:

    Sarah Palin.

  10. Frank says:

    It looks like a Nimitz class as far as I can tell, but where are the deck numbers? I thought they all had the numbers on the fore of the deck, they aren’t there. Even the plane up front shouldn’t be able to cover all of it.

    • EP says:

      It’s a stealth carrier.

      • No1askedme says:

        How can any vehicle that big be a “stealth” anything?! It’s too big to hide! I guess it has to do with radar detection or something?

        • justacarolinian says:

          4.5 Acres of American territory most anywhere in the world you want it. With the ultimate Telle Tubby pit crew!

        • Mad Maxwell Silverhammer says:

          My guess would be one of two things. It’s a silent runner Aircraft carrier which would stealth it from submarine listening devices.
          OR
          It’s hull is a certain shape to disguise it from normal radar imaging.
          Or a combination of the two. That’s my guess.

          • Squiffy the Radar Squirrel says:

            I think it may actually be a Soviet carrier, not an American one. Look very carefully, about 3/4 of an inch below the word balloon. There’s a tiny watermark that looks like it says “doseng org”. Type that into your browser as doseng DOT org and you get a website that appears to be in what I think is the Russian language.

            • Uhm, don’t think so.. the Russians don’t fly F/A 18′s or E-3C’s.

              • justacarolinian says:

                Sure they do. They have infiltrated our armed forces and actually plan on taking this carrier back home with them.

                • Maxwell Silverhammer says:

                  Funny part is, no other country has the financial support to develop stealth technology, we’re the only ones.

                  • justacarolinian says:

                    I watched something on the military channel one day, and it was showing some new ships, look like an elongated triangle, flying over the water. Fast too. And even the newest class of Frigate has been reshaped to minimize it’s radar profile. Neat.

                    • I can’t help but think of The Hunt For Red October… the book was awesome, the movie nearly so. It’s the only movie that I actually liked Alec Baldwin in.

                      • justacarolinian says:

                        Ditto. By the way, bit of trivia. Are those Hornets or Super Hornets?

                        • I can’t really tell, but I would guess there would be a mix of both. I also made a mistake before, those are E-2′s.

                        • justacarolinian says:

                          All I see are round engine inlets, IE legacy Hornets.

                        • Vila Restal says:

                          It is a American Carrier. Most Russian carriers (I think, although I can’t say for sure) user the Yakolev Jump Jets (which are a copy of the British Harrier) hence British and many of the Russian Carriers are usually a lot smaller than their American Equivalent, as the American carriers require to carry multiple larger aircraft with larger equivalent stores and technical equipment as well as more people necessary for the repair of said equipment and stores.

                        • paws4thot says:

                          And, even when the Russians do fly conventional jets (a Flanker varient; type number escapes me, but they have canards), the carriers still have “ski-jumps” on them.

                        • AFP says:

                          Some of the Hornets look noticeably bigger to me, so they might be Super Hornet (the Super Hornet is like a Hornet that actually ate all its veggies as a kid). Hard to tell without a bigger photo though.

                  • bitter troll says:

                    wha? we have had stealth boats for years, was bitter troll the only one who paid money to see street fighter : the movie..staring master thespian Juan claud van dam?

                    bitter troll was?

                    explains alot…..-la sigh-

                  • paws4thot says:

                    You might be surprised; the Eurofighter Typhoon and SAAB JAS-39 Gripen are a half a generation out from the F-14..F/A-18 family and the F-22 and F/A-35.

                    The Swedes and Brits both have radar-stealthed ships.

                    • Vila Restal says:

                      Even then it is still possible to identify stealth ships. It’s a case of not so much identifying what is there, but rather working out what isn’t. (No wonder I like those Hidden Object type games!! Join the Navy and gain a love of Hidden Object Games. They didn’t say that during training :-) )

                      • paws4thot says:

                        Actually, some of the RN’s systems can find F-117s; it’s just that they’re not the SAM targetting radars. (info acquired in public domain during Gulf War 1)

                • HelOnWheels says:

                  Well, if you can’t build it yourself, steal it.

              • paws4thot says:

                Or, indeed EA-6s.

    • I believe you’re right. I did a Google search and the way the superstructure is designed, it looks like a Nimitz class.

    • ImWoodChuck says:

      USS John C. Stennis CVN-74

  11. Smurf says:

    Imagine how much money could be saved if this thing could double as a submarine…

  12. HellHathNoFury says:

    John C Stennis FTW!!! i hated working on that damn thing. If you gotta pee and that thing’s in drydock with no heads inside…guess what. you’re using your 30 minutes just getting to the bathroom.

    • Vila Restal says:

      That’s what they make the open runways for. Of course on board ships, men usually have an easier time of it during this activity than women do. It’s not so easy for a woman to drop her trousers (or raise her skirt, depending on what she is wearing) when you have an entire crew of sex starved men watching about to give a score on the performance :-)
