1st Gen Lunchtable Thread - General Discussion

I wonder if I mounted training-like wheels to my sliders if I could pull off a turn like that and stick the landing.

 

Look, we start talking about dumb stuff again and the guest count increases

 

*watches you steal Sofia's training wheels*

When the master, becomes the student

 

What happened to just getting lost like the good ol days and refusing to ask for directions

 

We're men, who admits says we ever get lost

 

Watching my dad frantically thumb through a Thomas Guide while driving while my mom in the passenger seat begs him to pull over and ask someone, ah the good ol days

 

Life's a journey not a destination

 

Back in my day, we had to look up our directions on Mapquest and print that shit out before hand

 

Mom would make us kids do the map thumbing lol. Dad would meticulously write down directions on paper

Heaven forbid you missed one of those direction steps though

 

I gave an old Thomas guide for his 18th birthday 3 years ago. He honestly didn't know what it was.

 

Might be worth money someday lol

 

Looks like it.

Bet ya'll can't do land nav to save your life with a lensatic compass and a map.

 

Is that what these guys are doing fking up my 10 minute morning commute

 

That would be kind of ironic on a gravestone

 

You find the G/M angle of any specific location you're in.

When plotting on a map, you're dealing in grid...on a flat piece of paper. And since we all know the earth isn't flat.

Anyway, shooting an azimuth from one point to another on earth is measured in MILS magnetic, so you need to properly convert it to paper.

 

unfortunately I do know of some people who would argue that point and actually believe in it

 

My brother told me a story about ranger training when they had to land nav at night in a simulated behind enemy lines scenario. Looked at the map and said "fuck it, straight line is fastest. Not sure what these lil squiggles mean but I'm sure it'll be fine"

Squiggles=swamp and he almost drowned his partner cause the water was deeper than him

 

I think it would be fitting if it included SpongeBob on it
