Post #11, by icEFusioN

(This is my first IF post...don't kill me if I mess up please :P)

This was a legitimate concern. What with Tengu Man and his merry band circling around, death just could be meted out for messing up in any way, shape or form.

Over in Coldwater, Michigan, icEFusioN pondered how he could get to the Convention.

"Hmmm..", He thought to himself, "How can I get to the Convention?"

icEFusioN--an important community member from way back, by the way--here becomes the first person to use the word 'Convention' to describe this thing which was called 'Gathering' heretofore. Around 2003 or so SM.Net started holding actual annual conventions, which it still does as far as I know.

So if there's ever a fight over who coined the term, the evidence shows that icEFusioN has the most legitimate claim.

Then, he had a brilliant idea! He would steal a jet! "I just had a brilliant idea! I will steal a jet!" and with that, he went down to the local airport.

When he walked into the airport, he realized that he didn't have a way to sneak past the guards! They were all over the place.

And this was a good 16 months before the disaster of 11 September 2001.

He then took out a box of donuts from his pocket (Yes, his pocket), and attempted to bribe the guards! It didn't work however; the guards ate the doughnuts and just told him to leave.

Everyone that's ever seen a movie knows you're supposed to distract the guards, not bribe them, with donuts. Sheesh.

He decided on another way to get though. He put a pair of pants on his head, and casually walked past them! The guards didn't even notice!

Pants were the meme at starmen.net for a solid two years. reidman started it. Ask him how it happened. I think it has to do with a Five Iron Frenzy song.

When he made it out to the runway, he found an empty airplane. "What Luck!" he said.

icEFusioN absorbed the power of Empty Airplane Runway! icEFusioN's Luck went up by 5!

He got in the airplane, climbed into the cockpit, and started it up. The only way he knew how to fly an airplane was from playing Pilotwings 64.

After he was about the land, he realized he didn't know how to fly an airplane!

*BOOM!*

If you're keeping track, this is our fourth aerial vehicle crash in 11 posts.
