Sweetmiracle Posted February 2, 2005 Share Posted February 2, 2005 Alex seems to have really studied Brazil....his rant during La Villa is very clued in.... Otherwise, how would he have heard of Milton Banana? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spike Posted February 2, 2005 Share Posted February 2, 2005 I've heard rumors that Alex is still pursuing this grand idea. His scientists at The Omega Concern are very busy in their labs, and are in the final testing stages of making planes from beef! (.... something about the change in atmospheric pressure acts like a giant pressure cooker, so the beef is fully cooked and ready to eat when the plane lands....)

Reminds him too much of the Atkins Diet.... Yeah - they haven't figured out how to do the bread part of the plane without burning it near the engines. But that reminds me - I forgot the SOUP! They fuel the thing with SOUP instead of jet fuel. Any leftover SOUP is piping hot and ready to eat upon landing.... or sometimes before landing... or sometimes during flight.

Sweetmiracle Posted February 2, 2005 Share Posted February 2, 2005 And during the flight, passengers can talk or not talk for hours.... At least I hopt that part applies to passenger conversation and not to the engines working.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Otherwise, how would he have heard of Milton Banana? How cool!! Based on the Work In Progress thread, I'm recording the audio portion of Neil's warmup to an MP3 file. Anyway, Neil talks through it.... and during the warmup he goes into this Samba grove which he attributes to Milton Banana (Brazil's Buddy Rich). He was introduced to it through a crew member who was touring in Brazil and came back with a Milton Banana CD. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

plopes Posted February 5, 2005 Share Posted February 5, 2005 Hi guys. This is my first post here. Seriously, the story about the planes and beef came from Brazil and Canada's huge economical argument regarding canadian meat and brazilian planes. It all started with the "crazy cow", the bovine desease. Brazilian government decided not to buy canadian meat because they suspected it was contamined... and so Canadian government decided to end negociations upon buying brazilian military airplanes. See ya ! Pedro Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
