clicky Perhaps Jesse just took the whole absentee father thing as a personal attack. You have to remember that Jackson had a child by an aide. Even BC would admit that this is sex (even though it was not workplace sexual harassment because they are both Democrats). All joking aside, Jackson did take responsibility by giving her $40,000 (for "moving expenses") out of his non-profit corporation (which is probably legal if you are a Democrat ). And, after her lawsuit, he now provides regular child support. Jesse's son (Jesse Jr from his wife of a zillion years) has been working on Obamas campaign and was pretty unhappy about his dads comments.

A loooong time ago, I was hanging out with a group of people and trying to be humorous. I had told a few jokes. One girl told me, "Your last 3 jokes have been about sex. You must not be getting any." Well, that kinda stung. ...since it was true. But, if you are 19, everything is about sex. Of course, I figured that she had a different problem. She was totally hot and could get sex anytime she wanted. However, if all her conversations started with something critical and spent all evening grumpy, she probably didn't actually date. Hot and irritating, amazing we didn't date.

During the old S&L scandal, people went to jail. Sounds like a good time to reinforce that idea. The S&L buyout was estimated to add $20,000 to the national debt for each American. That money was stolen and put into peoples pockets. You steal, you go to jail. The companies will use the money to bail out the loans with the worst repayment histories. Then, the people who tried to keep current will have a good balance and are targets for foreclosure because the company makes the makes the most money there. Therefore, companies are rewarded for knowingly giving bad loans. People forget that the govt doesn't have any money. It is using your money.

That doesn't work for me. It assumes some kind of 1950s image about women that wasn't true in 1950. Women have always liked sex. They are either ok with a booty call from you, or not. Plus, it's bs. As people have already mentioned, everyone understands that there are all these contrived scenarios. Obviously, women manage to get through their lives for years without a guy to "look at the dryer". My favorite joke from a woman comedian was the one where she explained "accidentally having sex with his brother". "It wasn't my fault... he tricked me." Just don't only call when drunk (that makes them feel pretty insulted for some reason).

Well, I do have a gun (Sig P220) but I don't know if I'll be posting with it in a bikini anytime soon. Ok, no bikini if you wish. The bikini was never a necessity. And this is the reason that I live a life of disappointment. Beautiful women could be kinder if they wanted and contribute to my happiness. I suspect that nobody considers my feelings.

Ah, yes... if we only knew hot chicks who owned guns. They could be posting bikini pics as we type. The funny thing about threads in SC is that many are just benign topics. People are just posting something interesting. Then, people twist stuff just to stir up a fight. As the Eagles wrote, "...women are the only works of art". For some reason, beautiful women get some people angry. I think that those people must have deep-seated anger issues toward women.

who doesn't love guitar hero. Guitar hero is soooo last week. I am doing Accordion Hero. It is amazing how similar that Mexican mariachi music and Minnesota polka music really are.

There are two things to think about. Wind with a constant direction. Wind with a very light and variable direction. I usually try to figure something out on the ground. I discuss it early with other jumpers in the boarding area. If winds are non-existent, we all agree on a direction and physically point to it. "We will be landing in THIS direction." My personal indicators are - The tall palm trees in front of a dz building. The air is cleaner there and any wind will move the tips of the fronds. I have gotten pretty good at reading it. There is a similar "wind gauge" tree at most dzs. Flags require very little wind to move and are on a pole that is higher than a windsock. And, of course, windsocks. People will mention that you should be able to tell wind direction by your change in ground speed. Until they hit 30 jumps, I don't see that many people who are very effective at that, especially in very light wind. You mentioned one thing that I see a lot - people using the above method and figuring it out too late. My suggestion, since you will be getting out late and dumping high for a while - sit in brakes and observe the traffic. -- Wind with a very light and variable direction. Sometimes there is just enough wind to push the sock back and forth. Two or three people land and then... voila... the wind is 120 degrees from its last position. All of a sudden, 15 jumpers pick 15 landing directions. On no-wind, or almost no-wind days, I try to figure out, in advance, where a close alternative landing area is, and go there. Try to avoid landing with 22 inventive people. Land in the agreed-upon no-wind landing direction, but in your own safe place.

In the mid-90s, it wouldn't have been a bad thing. Too much bad C code and memory leaks, the darned things crashed every 2 weeks. "We've got 2Gig of RAM and nothing running, what do you mean we are 100%? (sigh) Go ahead and reboot..."

They are out buying jewelry to apologize.

"Yeah, over in Japan, they revere me. They hold a parade in my honor every year."

We were told that eating carrots will make you whistle better. Apparently whistling popular tunes like a pro was important enough to some of us to chomp down on raw carrots regularly like Bugs Bunny... I noted that rabbits also had long ears and asked my parents if eating carrots would also make my ears grow. I can't remember if I was just being inquisitive, or being a smart-ass (equally probable), but the butt-whipping was the same.

"Sorry, not on the first date..." "DOH!"

Yet you present an actress protraying a fictional character as an example? Absolutely, you gotta have an example.

For blondes, "I am soooo drunk..." For brunettes, "I SAID, I am soooo drunk..." For redheads, "Huh, the brunette just left..."

I don't know, but I like the way you're thinkin'. Kevlar might be a bit too abrasive. Maybe with a nice cotton lining for when they get too sweaty. Grrrr... Sure, we know WWF women wrestling is fake, but - heck - so is Days of Our Lives and women watch that crap every day. We all have our dreams.

Attached is the pic of AJ from Tomb Raider. I love aggressive, hotly-athletic, fearless, out-on-the-edge women like the AJ character. Many skydiving women are just like that. Nothing like a real woman who knows what she wants. Guys who can't handle that type are generally the whiny, fearful apologists who grovel for attention. That is a Freudian issue. "Yes, I just want to cuddle too... Oprah is so right, men are just evil..." My thought? "Bring me the boo-tay, baby..."

Women In Waders - the calendar Yep. It doesn't matter what they are doing, I just enjoy seeing attractive women in very little clothing. It seems to go both ways. When women know they're hot, they love to play it for the attention. There is always some woman at a dance club, in an interesting outfit, who is doing a hair-flip just to push it to the next level. Almost everybody is happy about that. Sometimes, people overthink simple things.

Whenever I hear that, my first thoughts are "virgin". Oh... edited to add my selections. Let's see... sleeping with 3 celebrities. The first two would be the Olsen twins because they are skinny enough to not take up the bed. I have a kingsize bed, but I hate bed-hogs. Plus, they are young enough that they won't snore a lot. The third would be have to be the woman who does the cooking infomercial with the quick cooker. We watch cable and she could come up with some cool snacks.

"Run in and get a Coke while we ask for directions. We'll wait for you."

Muff muff.

The objection comes from the phrase "probably". The idea that it "probably" will not be a problem. "Least likely to..." is not acceptable at all. Oil spills weren't supposed to happen at all the places that they did. Then, there was a "cleanup". In Florida, we have two eco-systems that I would call non-recoverable. An oil spill will end them. The Florida Keys reefs and Appalachicola Bay. The A-bay oyster farming would be totally destroyed with one oil spill and it would not come back. The area is unique for the size and quality of the oysters. Coral reefs aren't just rocks. They are living organisms. The oil industry would like you to believe that a "small" oil spill is somehow acceptable, or that the damage would be corrected.

If he spends his time and works to implement this plan, then I am ok with him making some money. I certainly expect to get paid when I work. The plan helps pollution, the foreign trade deficit, and the cost of food (by reducing the amount used for ethanol). The price of oil may not change because of the demand by India and China.

If it was an 8 ft bronze speculum, imagine the nervous looks from the nurses.
