RIP Roy Halladay

[SlinkyRedfoot]

And this this the worst of the worst, now joke about it, or no joke about it, as it were. That being said, please fuck off and die.

Bless your little, sensitive, fag heart.

Maybe they mean it’s like a girl who sucks everyone’s dick and then you hang out with her and she just found Jesus and doesn’t suck cock any more.

The gardner?

This is what Roy Halladay was flying. An Icon A5.

What is unbelievable is that the chief designer of this plane and the test pilot both died flying an A5 this May.

This plane is part watercraft that is meant to fly at very low altitudes over water. Aviation experts believe this is really dangerous and more so for a rookie pilot like Halladay.

I read this is the third crash of these planes in eight months, two of which were fatal (the one you referenced and Halladay's).

I saw a video where one was flying so close to the water (maybe even touching), that water spray was hitting the windshield, and I read a report that they believe this is what Halladay was doing at the time of the crash.

Crazy shit.

I feel badly for his family, but I still think @Taddy Mason is a fag.

The planes do look kind of badass, though. Apparently the wings fold in and it can be transported with a trailer to a standard boat launch where it can take off from the water.

Just saw a video from TMZ where witnesses recorded him "showboating" before the crash.

I mean, that's pretty much what that thing is made for. High speed, low altitude maneuvers over water. Fortunately he didn't have anyone else with him and there wasn't anyone in the water where he went down.

That’s just stupid. I hope he left a ton of money for his wife and kids.

Man, I still remember when he was part of that amazing 2011 Phillies rotation. Roy Halladay, Cliff Lee, Cole Hamels, Roy Oswalt and Vance Worley.

RIP.

Now here's something I don't get. How come if you say something sucks dick it's a bad thing? I love having my dick sucked, so I would think things that suck dick are cool.

You must be a BIG fan of tnapucco then, no?

The company that makes the plane has a promotional video with Roy and his wife. His wife explains how she was dead set against him getting the plane and fought him on it but once she went up with him she "got it". I would imagine they took that video down. 2 days before this he had his kid in the plane with him. As bad as I feel for his family I'm just glad no one else was in the plane.

 

[Chasin' Utleys]

why cant an asshat like david ortiz learn how to fly a plane?

Or Gary Sheffield, or Moises Alou?

I don't know about that, according to the Pharisees Jesus surrounded himself with cocksuckers....

Agreed. If you’re going to kill yourself doing something stupid, best to do it alone.

And I’m guessing the company will mothball that video now.

 

[Chasin' Utleys]

But they don’t make eye contact. The word “blink” is right there in their name.

Duh.

Is "182" the number of times they did it?

It used to be...

Gee wonder what his feelings on 3rd Eye Blind would be??
