  1. It may be there, I didn't complete the video.
  2. best game show ever Probably NSFW. I don't even care if there is an actual goal to the game. Of course, if I was the camera man, I would choose the same angle.
  3. Who is it that invented the "ee" squeal in the middle of "right" ? "rye-ee-t?"
  4. At least in Cutaway, there was that element of real danger. They were at the top of an 8-ft ladder with compressed air blowing on them. They might have fallen.
  5. when they were under canopy in the movie, i thought they were under squares.
  6. So what would you do if had a rough night, and hated the fucking Eagles, man? Fuck you man! You don't like my fucking music, get your own fucking DC-3! True story... An ex and I, and another couple, were taking a cab for the 2-minute ride from the hotel to the bar. She adjusts the a/c, then the fan lower, then the vents down. Then, the radio station, then the volume. Thinking that the people in back are now too warm, she adjusts the vents up and the fan higher. The cab driver looks beaten and says, "Madame... please... what do you want?" In less than 90 seconds, she had pushed an experienced cabbie over the edge.
  7. clicky Recently, "feminine aids" have a distinctly different meaning. I remember when they had a cassette tape player in the DC-3. It was jammed, we listened to the same tape on every ride to altitude. I was unsure if no one could figure out how to open it or whether the pilot just liked the Eagles.
  8. It's not the pace of life that concerns me... it's the sudden stop at the end.
  9. ...and something different. Interesting, but what if This Guy were your neighbor? "no honey, we can't let the dog out just now..."
  10. NSFW (at least, you'd like it to be) the most irritating video on the internet You'll see...
  11. It can be a problem if you are arching a lot to stay relative with other jumpers. Arching can get you to the same fallrate as other jumpers. However, when you reach to take grips, it may cause you to flatten out and then pop up. If you watch other peoples videos, you can spot two types of mistakes. - People who have too fast a fallrate will be spread out to keep from going low. - People going too slow will be arching to get beyond a comfortable speed and their feet will be going side-to-side. This will cause them to throw motion into the formation.
  12. Almost guaranteed to be NSFW.
  13. Oh please... we know you are sensitive, huggy person. ...and still educating the masses.
  14. based on everything you know and everything he knows, you both believe you are right. i know and respect him as a world record holder in two disciplines. you made a trivial and irritating response. i don't know why he tries sometimes. i also expect that he knows your rig better than you. especially on such a minor detail. personally, i was on an otter last weekend and sat against the rear bulkhead on the floor. there are bolts that attach the seatbelts to the wall. they frequently snag just about everything on the back of a rig. a little loose bridle, pc, pins, flaps. all those snag points are back there and i was leaning against that wall. when being seated, moving about, or standing up - something might have caught. i asked for a pin and gear check. considering all those items, do you ask for gear check when seated in that spot? i encourage it.
  15. Apalachicola Bay The best oysters anywhere. Actually, if the oil hits the reef system in the Florida Keys, there goes the scuba diving and tourism industry. Beaches, tourism, commercial fishing... Florida can pretty much shut down. Compared to the jobs of all the people who work in marine-related and tourism industries, I can't really shed a tear for the oil related ones.
  16. So, the point of the post was to use phrases that no one will probably understand ? It doesn't seem that great an idea. A barrel of oil is 42 gallons. 100,000 barrels is kind of a spin. it makes it sound smaller on tv. 4.2 million ... that sounds like a lot.
  17. Agree. The idea of doing something to be happy, just once before you die is stupid. We should enjoy life every day. There are way too many people who only have one happy day a month (if that). Too late, they are already dead, the corpse just keeps moving.
  18. People have insurance for car collisions, theft, homeowners, medical, etc. We protect ourselves legally and financially for any event based on the statistical incidence of the problem and our financial exposure. (People with expensive cars get more expensive liability also because people will sue for more) It is good, common sense planning that we do as adults. The argument of, "you don't need a pre-nup because we will be together forever" is only supported by 50% of the marriages. So why do people demand that we ignore reason when it comes to marriage ? People want you to exclude logic when it is to their advantage.
  19. For whatever you select, get the opinion of a person experienced at that type of jump. Find out the recommended jump numbers. Not, "dude, it's cool". Examples - Most first time wingsuit recommendations are 200+. 75+ for being inside a raft. (So that you'll be safe) 100+ RW jumps for outside. (So that you may dock and everyone else will be safe because you aren't circling below)
  20. YOU never went into a relationship with a hard earned bankroll I'm betting! I have never put money on a bet where I stood to not gain and, statistically, I have over a 50% chance of losing.
