Predators and Prey

*Tries to remember 1998*

Umm, I think the Big Lebowski came out that year and Resident Evil 2.

 

[Cosmic-FS]

Wait, this movie was released in 1998?

The original comic took place there.

There are A LOT of fiction that take place in the years 1997 and 1998. It's like a nexus point of syfi stories.

[Groggy]

Took me a while, but I remembered about this pearl.

 

[Sairn]

Metal Gear...?
It can't be...

(yeah I know it's not Metal Gear, but this reminded me of Iroquois Pliskin, aka Solid Snake)
I gotta watch that movie.

Snake? Snaaaake!

Oh good, he got out safe

This year. The fateful events of the mansion incident unfold. Flesh eating monsters roam the Arklay mountains murdering and.. Eating isolated hitchhikers. The Raccoon city police department deploy their S.T.A.R.S team to investigate.

My word....I missed the 1980s, that hugely amazing decade for punk, hc, post-punk, new-wave, early industrial, and so much else!!!

Ah, well!

In 1998, Johnny Cash runs a full page advert in Billboard Magazine, to "thank" the country music industry for their support of his (arguably) brilliant recent material, which they refuse to play:

Jeez, you guys move quick. This year in aviation history, a McDonnell-Douglas MD-11 (tail number HB-IWF) operating as Swissair 111 crashes in St. Margaret's Bay, Nova Scotia. The cause is determined to be a cockpit fire, but whether the pilots succumbed to smoke, became disoriented, or lost control is not definitively known. This happened near where I got my commercial license, and I've spoken to people involved in one way or another, including terminal controllers, SARtechs, and pilots under JRCC Halifax, and I've always held a particular fascination for this crash. I got the opportunity to visit the Peggy's Cove portion of the memorial when I started flying out East.

I occasionally listen to the ATC audio as a reminder to not take anything for granted. If these guys crashed doing everything right, I shouldn't throw everything away for anything less.

You try to boop me but I'm too quick for you

*Is booped, feels warm inside.*

 

[Sairn]

-Boops you again- ;3

*In a less dazed state, boops back*

You try to boop me but I'm too quick for you

-Quadruple flips and whirlwind boops at you with the accuracy of a tomahawk cruise missile-

 

[Silvear]

*baps the squirlf with spoon*

 

[Pygmepatl]

*Boops all of you*

 

[Pygmepatl]

Don't get me started with the stinky boops.

Moving on: This year in aviation history, American 1420 (flown by an MD-82) overruns the runway in Little Rock, Arkansas. Poor decision making and get-home-itis are blamed, contributing to a cockpit environment that could charitably be described as a clusterfuck. A local thunderstorm was labelled a contributing factor, with the pilot's inability to configure or decide on whether or ot to land being the main causes. The captain and 10 passengers are killed, but 134 passengers and crew make it off the plane.

I STARTED IN PUBLIC SCHOOL THIS YEAR AND WORE A DRESS FOR THE LAST TIME!

Back when Swissair was a thing!
