happythoughts

You have been found out. What is your O-fishul spy number? Are you in charge of The Coverup, or merely the staff member responsible for day-to-day coverup duties?

Someone checked. No record of him It's DB Cooper!

but being a sensitive guy is important...

And, therein lies the problem. It is regarded as unwanted sound. Le Petomane Just think of the possiblities... the first rap anus artist. They already make that "puh-PUMP pum-PAH" sound with their mouths. And most rap sounds like it was coming out of someones butt to begin with. It is the next logical progression. Just "clear your throat" before you walk out on stage.

I think that posting anonymously anywhere is poor. If it is an opinion, people should be able to identify themselves and stand behind their words. It seems more important for the incidents forum because of the nature of what will be posted. The content can be more emotionally painful than the other forums. Plus, Incidents is supposed to be about information and learning. If someone can't supply the foundation for information, then it can't be trusted.

I knew I'd seen these somewhere before.

What do you think he had to do to survive the night? (I guess identify your predicted DZ) I'm guessing that if you stuck 100 random people at the predicted DZ, with no gear or skills, that none would die, no matter what they did. Unless they were sick already, or injured severely on the landing. He jumped at roughly 8pm. Dawn at 5am? So, 9 hours in the dark. The temperature has been stated as 35-50 degrees. Light rain. Overcast at 5K and raining, so little moon. The slipon loafers would probably be gone instantly on a 200mph exit. He probably wasn't going to be able to walk out on an overcast night. If there was little moonlight, no movement until daylight. He was shoeless, in 40 degree weather, in the rain, at night - for at least 8 hours. That has hypothermia written all over it. Finding shelter is possible, but not guaranteed.

And when you stay the night at a dude's house, then stop somewhere on the way back to your house the next morning (like meeting one of your girlfriends you ditched the night before for breakfast and then giving all the sordid details of the dude you hooked up with), you're called a "Dirty Stay Out". At one point, I attended a private college with a (reputed) 30% membership in one religion. After 12, the girls dorm doors were locked. After that time, first-semester girls had to sign in at the front desk. (If their grades slid, the parents got the sign-in sheet as part of a report.) It was a great selling point. "We won't be able to get you back to the dorm before 12. We can stay out all night." The doors opened at 8. Then would come the "10am group" strolling back and looking worn out.

that's wrong, happythoughts. There's nothing about Gossett that makes him a good suspect. He had a good resemblance to the sketch. He had the parachute skills. He had the survival skills. A big plus, considering the conditions. Many people would not survive being unprotected outdoors on such a night. He knew the area. That is what I call a good suspect based on my criteria. Opinions vary.

She's available.

A woman I know calls that the FFL (fresh-fucked look). -Clothes a little ruffled. -Hair that has recently been combed, but not in front of a mirror. -Skin slightly redder. -Smiling a lot for no reason.

I would say that it fits into two elements of strategy. - If there is enough smoke, then forward observers may not be able to direct fire on advancing troops. Same issue for snipers. So, it is a valid tactic. - One of the Israeli problems has been rocket attacks. Those are launched from out in the open. If hot phosphorus is raining down, you deny the enemy the necessary open field. I doubt the Israelis will be admitting that. Civilians need to apply some common sense. A war is going on, keep their kids indoors. It isn't fair, but it is happening that way. Given the venue, it seems a little Biblical Ezekiel 38:22

Rick wouldn't make a woman cry.

Click on the MSN link in post 36. Israel states that they are white phosphurus rounds that are used to create smoke. There isn't any question.

There are legions of people who are "qualified" to do such a jump. They have been listed ad nauseum on this thread. There were thousands of airborne-qualified ex-mil after VN. Thousands of people with knowledge of parachutes and 727 operation. As a number, I'd say that the candidate list would be in the tens of thousands easily. There would have to be additional evidence to narrow that. Currently, the only available direction is the wannabees. The best self-proclaimed candidate with the necessary skills is Gossett and Gossett lacks additional credible proof. That is the problem with most of them. The only possible help is DNA, and that only helps if the person volunteers themselves to be compared. We can probably stop trying to come up with new lists of suspects. If Duane was proven to be a genuine double-ought spy who did a night 727 jump into Laos, it still wouldn't put him in a harness that night.

I'm still working on this one. I am inches from blowing this case apart. The total solution. Ah yes. Let me guess. DB Cooper was an FBI agent! It's the only thing that satisfies all the requirements, AND gives Jo Weber the REVENGE SHE IS SEEKING! Before you present this you had better run this by the Underbelly of this forum where the real decisions are made: you know who I mean. Attached are a few charts to help you with your consideration. Let's hear your solution! Jo is working with a new production company now and seeking ideas - so your post is very timely! Give her all you've got! Any Happy Thoughts now? Georger That post was made a couple of weeks ago when we had the Original Truth. These new theories are the New Revised Standard Edition Truth. Perhaps we can sub-divide these theories into work-groups. I am waiting on someone to provide me with a complete list of unknown CIA agents and their pictures. I will do this shortly, unless the Conspiracy stops me. The new theory does contains aspects of the CIA Agent theory with some added flavor of Rodeo Man. Let's face it, who doesn't like a good story with a cowboy in it? Anyone ever see the movie about Buckaroo Bonzai? The rock star/millionaire/scientist who traveled into the 10th dimension? (Good movie... but, of course, that was fiction)

When I go to a theme park, I hate to stand in line. It is a waste of time before you get to ride the actual attraction. I feel the same way about lingerie. There is something about no undies that just says "open for bidness" to me.

MSN article with picture Theoretically, one can claim that it is to obscure troop movements. In practical use, it hinders opposing troop movements and artillery/rocket positions, because anyone caught outdoors may be burned.

Here is what I don't understand... Women get these frilly underwears and pay big money for them. So, I have a few pairs of shorts with a few holes and all they do is give me grief about it. They want to throw them all away. I figure that if I hold onto them long enough, it will become a fashion, so I am sitting (literally) on a goldmine (financially, not in terms of color). Besides, if they have arrived at the point where they are seeing my undies, they have more immediate problems.

I have a car. Once I get a job, I will put tires on it and fill it with gas. I figure that once the economy picks up, I want to have two cars up on blocks.

from post 6469: I'm still working on this one. I am inches from blowing this case apart. The total solution.

Lots of great pics. Good to see you again.

Whenever I go somewhere, even grocery shopping, women follow me out to the car and try to get in. I have been fending them off successfully. However, some have chipped the paint near the door handles with their fingernails during the struggle. My question... where can I get an inexpensive after-market spray touch-up paint for a Buick?

No, 'Twardo; "The Truman Show" wasn't about you. Bummer...I had this great idea for a wonderful ending...Involved a belly wart full of buckshot, a backpack full of C-4 and a 'lowpull' night-jump at the Superbowl.... Been done. Slim Pickens in Dr Strangelove.

Well, yeah... it could be like a role reversal of Anna Nicole Smith's marriage to that old-as-dirt millionaire. I don't even want to imagine it... Someone with a fear of heights asked an aerialist how he could walk a tight rope. He said it's just like getting a BJ from a 107 yo woman. Everything is ok, as long as you don't look down.
