Roland clambered up the steps, feeling very proud of himself. Three thousand bucks, for the ride of his life. "Hell", he thought, "I might even get to do The Wild Thing with one of the Katyas employed on the 'plane".
Roland couldn't help but admire how big the interior of the Antonov An-124 was.
The Russkies sure knew how to build big 'planes!
Strapped into his seat, Roland felt the surge of the giant engines launching the aircraft into the sky. 20 minutes later the bar was set up and everyone was mingling in the pressurised cabin.
Things began to lift off the bar as the Antonov went into a controlled freefall. Roland ordered a Slippery Nipple and poured it into the air in front of himself then tried to catch all of the globules on his tongue.
One landed on a barmaid (they were all named Katya, it seemed). He tried to lick it off and got slapped. "There goes the zero G nookie", he muttered.
All too soon, gravity returned. Roland strapped back into his seat.
$3000.00 for the next trip would only take 5 months to set aside, with the new job at the adult shop, three nights a week.

I like the idea, but it has been hammered and people
tend to throw up when doing this anyway with or without
the alcohol....so neutral but good intent. |
|
| |
In fiction? A zero-G bar in an aircraft, providing joyflights for people? You got references for that? |
|
| |
I figured someone had to counter the pile of horseshit that keeps topping my "recent" view. |
|
| |
Exactly. And the cost of a 0G flight on a Russian aircraft is about what I posted. Sorry for the confusion. It's a poor man's, doable version of the SF thing. |
|
| |
Roland is a sleazy cheapskate, if you haven't seen him before. Try a site search for him. |
|
| |
I'm dubious about the market for this bar due to the expense involved. But then people buy all sorts of crap. Bun |
|
| |
To polish off an older acorn:
"Sure, why not? After all, somebody invented fishsticks." |
|
| |
Did he get to finish his Nipple? Without this information I can neither bun nor bone. |
|
| |
All the little planes I fly don't go fast enough to maintain 30 seconds of zero-g's. I get about 5 seconds at most. I'd give you a plus for the idea if it didn't have the bar. |
|
| |
[destructionism] you could mix drinks really fast... |
|
| |
[destructionism] but the AN-124 and IL76 are already used for zero-g training and joyflights [link]. The way that it gets such an extended zero-g period is because it freefalls from extremely high up. I think that ub's idea is to install a bar into these already existing planes and make sure that all of the barmaids are called Katya.
The idea without the bar is already baked. The idea with the bar is great [+] |
|
| |
If Roland timed this wrong, would his drink go up his nose or down it? + |
|
| |
A new dimension to the Mile High Club. Who will be the first, I wonder, to have zero G sex?
And the first go-go dancer would be wearing a Zero G string.... |
|
| |
[Ling], I seem to recall that this has already been done for some porn film set in space in order to increase authenticity. I even think that I saw a short clip from it - possibly on Eurotrash.
Found something (linky). |
|
| |
Saint threef had something like this - a monorail train running at orbital velocity through an evacuated tunnel. |
|
| |
Zero gravity, with no time constraints. |
|
| |
Sounds like it could be fun with a victory roll at closing time. |
|
| |
UB - may be it should be "Zero-G Bar", but still sounds like fun. |
|
| |
I'm sure I would have remembered
Katya. |
|
| |
Well, whilst we're trying to do things within 45 seconds of zero G because we have oodles of money, and time, lets have a space movie theater, a space water park, a space church, a space office, and a space... oh wait, these ideas suck. |
|
| |
But so does the bar, if only to a slightly lesser degree. |
|
| |
but if someone bought my ticket I'd go in a heartbeat, so I guess I'm on tha proverbial fence. |
|
| |
Ohh Ohh! A space strip bar! I knew we were getting somewhere! |
|
| |
If this was to be baked, there would have to be a separate flight for those who are used to aerobatics before I got on one of these. Most of my passengers are torn between killing me immediately and dying or surviving and killing me when we land if I do stuff like that. 3 out of 4 passengers who ask to do "fun stuff" wind up sick. |
|
| |
I would rather have my alcohol *without* vomit. |
|
| |
[reap] Not quite. I'm sure some of the reason is altitude, but it's mostly the effect of speed. A fast plane has a longer amount of dive before it overspeeds. |
|
| |
[gnomethang], another perfect link, yet again. It must have been quite difficult to make the video. But at least one might not need quite so much Viagra in zero G. |
