    Pilot Fights Black Snake Stowaway on Plane

    Friday, June 02, 2006

    CHARLESTON, W.Va. — Monty Coles was 3,000 feet in the air when he discovered a stowaway peeking out at him from the plane's instrument panel — a 4 1/2-foot black snake.

    Coles had left Charleston earlier for a leisurely flight over the West Virginia countryside last Saturday in his Piper Cherokee and was preparing to land in Gallipolis, Ohio, when the snake revealed itself.

    "Nothing in any of the manuals ever described anything like this," the 62-year-old Cross Lanes resident said. But the advice given 25 years earlier from his flight instructor immediately came to mind: "No matter what happens, fly the plane."

    An attempt to swat the snake only resulted in it falling to Coles' feet under the rudder pedals. It then darted to the other side of the cockpit.

    While maintaining control of the single-engine plane with one hand, Coles grabbed the reptile behind its head with his other.

    "There was no way I was letting that thing go. It coiled all around my arm, and its tail grabbed hold of a lever on the floor and started pulling," Coles said.

    The next step was to radio for emergency landing clearance.

    "They came back and asked what my problem was. I told them I had one hand full of snake and the other hand full of plane. They cleared me in."

    After a smooth landing, Coles posed for pictures with the snake, then let it loose.

    "That snake resides in Ohio now," he said. "I wasn't about to bring it home. I don't mind snakes, but I sure like to know where they are."

    Coles said he was lucky his usual travel companions, his wife and dachshund, were not on the flight.

    "If my wife had been in the plane, I wouldn't have a wife, a plane or myself," Coles said. "I don't know what might have happened if Killer had been in the plane, but it sure would have been a lot more exciting."

  3. Bravo, my friend, nice work!

    Holy shit, is Jeff Martin ever fucking full of himself. I've come to that conclusion because, frankly, how else could he write such pompous bullshit without wanting to punch himself in the face? On Exile, his first post-Tea Party project, Martin retains all the derivative and pretentious faux mysticism that's bespattered the bulk of his past work. From long-winded opener World Is Calling, with its usual dose of Eastern-sounding musical accents, it's clear that he has no interest in reinventing his sound. Aside from the appallingly self-indulgent and arrogant vibe, the lyrics sound as if he's just discovered a rhyming dictionary. If you enjoy recycled musical ideas and bad high-school poetry, Martin is probably already some kind of demigod to you. If not, avoid this at all costs.

    Martin touches down at the Phoenix Monday (April 24).

  4. Julia...will you be coming / going(?) this year?

    I'm going to do my best...depends on work, ride sitch, $$ etc. of course. Still on contract at my new job, so I'm unsure where I'll be then (hell, don't know where I'll be next week)...

    :)

    Let me know if you want me to connect you with some other families who go every year to answer your questions!!

  5. POSSIBLE "SURPRISE"

    ENDINGS TO THE NEW

    SAMUEL L. JACKSON FILM

    SNAKES ON A PLANE.

    BY MARC KEINATH AND KYLE NUSKE

    - - - -

    Scenario One

    Samuel L. Jackson discovers a new superbreed of snake, developed by the United States military, on board the plane. Quickly realizing that this snake could destroy the world, and knowing he would rather die than risk bringing this monster to the mainland, he decides to crash the plane into an offshore nitroglycerin plant.

    Scenario Two

    After single-handedly killing all snakes on board and landing the plane, Jackson steps onto the tarmac and removes his trench coat only to reveal that he is, in fact, made entirely out of snakes.

    Scenario Three

    While on the bus ride home from the airport, Jackson notices the bus driver seems nervous. The driver informs him that if the bus goes slower than 55 mph, snakes will drop from the ceiling. Samuel looks directly at the camera and says, "Here we go again!"

    Scenario Four

    As the plane is landing, Samuel Jackson is battling the last snake on the plane: a giant anaconda named Nancy. When he is about to let Nancy live by trapping her in a large duffle bag, he notices his father's wristwatch around her neck. Realizing that this is the snake that killed the man who raised him, Sam entangles Nancy's tail in the landing gear, simultaneously puréeing the beast and attaining the vengeance he has sought since age 13.

    Scenario Five

    All the snakes on the plane have been killed, and the only thing left to do is land the plane. That is, of course, until an Arabic man strapped with C4 explosives says he is going to crash the plane into the Golden Gate Bridge. Knowing he would rather die than risk bringing this monster to the mainland, Samuel L. Jackson decides to crash the plane into an offshore nitroglycerin plant. Unfortunately, the resulting explosion from the plane, terrorist, and nitroglycerin combo creates a tidal wave that destroys San Francisco. The Golden Gate Bridge stands, however, and is renamed the Jackson Bridge.
