(But it worked out well for me, because I went flying at 6AM (4 flights), and still got to work before 8AM!)

Ugh -- yes... All the time, it seems... (Even when I'm supposed to be sleeping...)
The person below me just got a hospital bill in the mail... (LOL -- mine is only for $14.78! I wonder why they wasted the resources, to send this to me?!)

Uh uh. No chemicals for me while flying.
It's challenging enough while unintoxicated. Anyway, that was long ago and far, far away. You have much to learn, and time short is.

Oh yeah. Star Wars was my life, before RC came along... I really need to figure out a way to merge the two together...
The person below me wonders how he's going to create 1.21 gigawats of electricity... It's not possible, is it?

LOL -- I'm guilty! (Well, sort of...) There's a local place in town which makes a MUCH better frozen coffee than Starbucks -- they have two locations, called Rocket Brothers. Unfortunately, the frozen coffee drink costs about $5, and it's full of sugar (which I really need to stay away from)...
However, if you're talking about a "normal" $5 cup of coffee at a place like Rocket Brothers, or Starbucks -- absolutely not! I've purchased two $5 cups of coffee from Starbucks, and I don't understand what the big deal is...
For what it's worth, Panera Bread Company makes a better frozen coffee drink than Starbucks... I really don't understand how Starbucks is so popluar...
The person below me has more than 20 hours of experience on twins.

More like foam and ply full fuselage combat! I am no way near ready for combat flying, but someday.
TPBM wants to build and fly a hybrid RC plane: electric tractor and rocket motors (think Ryan FR-1 Fireball; it's in Wikipedia).

Well, Actually I have done that, sort of. It was a nitro engine and rocket motors. First flight ripped the wing off- only damage was a new prop. Moved the rocket motor to the fuselage. 2nd flight stalled the nitro engine when the parachute charge blew into prop ( I think.) 3rd flight moved the rocket motors farther back on the fuselage ( yep 2 now, one on each side.) This resulted in torching off the monocoat on the tail feathers. Got to love the old sturdy birdys!
