What is in a name?

Post by gr8gazu »

I have noticed since i started posting under the name g8gazu, there is a small group of people that seem to pick up on it as a negative. Almost like I am referring to myself.

While some think it is the Flintstones charachter, it is actually referring to a great (gr8) old Lockheed Jetstar a friend of mine flew(CGAZU).

I believe the same company now has a DA900 under the same reg.

How about your name?

The hardest thing about flying is knowing when to say no


After over a half a century of flying no one ever died because of my decision not to fly.

The Other Kind
(Steve Earle)
I woke up this morning and I took a look around at all that I got
These days I've been lookin' in the mirror and wondering if that's me lookin' back or not
I'm still the apple of my mama's eye
I'm my daddy's worst fears realized
Here of late all this real estate don't seem all that real to me sometimes

I'm back out on that road again
Turn this beast into the wind
There are those that break and bend
I'm the other kind, I'm the other kind

Now my old buddy, what's his name, says, "Man what the hell are you thinkin' 'bout
Fool, you got two of everything, but you hang your head just like you was down and out"
And I'm damn sure not suffering from a lack of love
There's plenty more where that came from
Ah - but leave it up to me to say something wrong and hurt someone before I'm done

You see it used to be I was really free
I didn't need no gasoline to run
Before you could say Jack Kerouac you'd turn your back and I'd be gone
Yeah nowadays I got me two good wheels and I seek refuge in aluminum and steel
Aw, it takes me out there for just a little while
And the years fall away with every mile




This song is how I see myself.

Son, someday you will make a girl very happy, for a short period of time. Then she`ll leave you and be with new men who are ten times better than you could ever hope to be. These men are called pilots.

My last name is Pate and my old boss always called me Captain Pate. But if I put Pate people would inevitably think it was with an accenty goo and presume me french (not that there's anything wrong with that!) :wink:

Also I think it's clever... :roll:
