The thing is consumption of one has been known to lead to the other... Not that I'd know but I've heard...

I used to be a street performer in a previous life (read:before I got married and joined the ranks of the "responsible"). I made the front page of the Ottawa Sun (that's Ottawa Ontario BTW) twice doing fire eating stuff. I made the front page of a few other papers at local festivals and such. A local alternative rag (Ottawa Xpress) ran a two-page article on me and my "career". Some people still recognize me in Ottawa from my performing days. It's weird.

TUQUE: Wool or polyester (if your grandma made it) head dress worn in winter for warms and let's face it... STYLE eh.. HAT: Head dress worn from may to late october, resembling a an american "ball cap". Very useful to swat black flies an mosquitoes

Golf is a very dangerous sport!!!! Those little white balls could kill someone!!!! Holy crap! ALL GOLFERS should wear helmets so noone gets hurt out on the court or whatever it's called. [/end gulf whuffo rant] Marz _________________________________________ Did I just kill another thread?

C-182sand c-206s are very much standard fare at most Canadian DZs. We are starting to see bigger jumpships at some places, but if you jump here, you will more than likely jump a sardine-can cessna. Do I like it? Not particularily. I could do without the 20-30 minute ride to altitude, specially on a really hot summer day. Now that I read this thread though, I feel a certain amount of pride... Spotting appears to be a forgotten art. We actually get to chat with our pilot about upper winds and discuss jumps run passes while looking at the arial pic. (They DO serve a purpose!!) And there is NOTHING that can descibe the experience of smacking your chin/arm/leg/helmet/various body part on that jump step on your way out!!!!

These conversations still make my blood boil... Simply put, the American foreign policy is now coming back to bite them in the ass. The "truth" about Bin Laden and Hussein is clouded right now in both a right-wing and a left-wing agenda. We'll ge to the facts as time goes on. However, here's some things that have been documented ad-infinitum regarding American interest turned sour: 1954: Guatemala CIA overthrows the democratically elected Jacob Arbenz in a military coup. 1959: Haiti The U.S. military helps "Papa Doc" Duvalier become dictator of Haiti. 1961; Ecuador The CIA-backed military forces the democratically elected President Jose Velasco to resign. 1963: Dominican Republic The CIA overthrows the democratically elected Juan Bosch in a military coup. 1964: Brazil A CIA-backed military coup overthrows the democratically elected government of Joao Goulart. The junta that replaces it will, in the next two decades, become one of the most bloodthirsty in history. 1970: Cambodia The CIA overthrows Prince Sihanouk, who is highly popular among Cambodians for keeping them out of the Vietnam War. He is replaced by CIA puppet Lon Nol, who immediately throws Cambodian troops into battle. 1971: Bolivia After half a decade of CIA-inspired political turmoil, a CIA-backed military coup overthrows the leftist President Juan Torres. In the next two years, dictator Hugo Banzer will have over 2,000 political opponents arrested without trial, then tortured, raped and executed. 1973: Chile The CIA overthrows and assassinates Salvador Allende, Latin America's first democratically elected socialist leader. The problems begin when Allende nationalizes American-owned firms in Chile. ITT offers the CIA $1 million for a coup (reportedly refused). The CIA replaces Allende with General Augusto Pinochet, who will torture and murder thousands of his own countrymen in a crackdown on labor leaders and the political left. 1983: Honduras The CIA gives Honduran military officers the Human Resource Exploitation Training Manual - 1983, which teaches how to torture people. Honduras' notorious "Battalion 316" then uses these techniques, with the CIA's full knowledge, on thousands of leftist dissidents. At least 184 are murdered. 1989: Panama The U.S. invades Panama to overthrow a dictator of its own making, General Manuel Noriega. Noriega has been on the CIA's payroll since 1966, and has been transporting drugs with the CIA's knowledge since 1972.

DUDE!!!!!!!!!! You need to check your sources!!!!! Cocaine is damn addictive and believe me, cocaine can be mainlined (injected). For further reference, injecting anything into your veins is NOT social/recreational use of drugs. If snorting the thing didn't do it for ya, it's a problem. I hope you don't work in the addicitons field. Marz _________________________________________ Did I just kill another thread?

OK, so here's the update... They haven't found the car yet and my insurance agent told me not to hold my breath, because with this kind of car, it's mor than likely a pro job and it won't be found. Bottom line, the cops will search until tomorrow and if they don't find it, it's declared a total loss. THE UPSIDE (aka why pay more for insurance): I get FULL REPLACEMENT VALUE!!!!!!! which means they'll pay for exactly the same car, except brand new and of the current model year, as well as cover all the mods and repairs i had done on the old car. My mind is racing now... I have a few options (if they don't find the old car). a) get a brand-spankin new REX, and get all the mods re-done, b)give in and buy the affordable and much less cool but much more practical minivan or c) take all the money for replacment aand mods, trade in the old '92 Accord which has been sitting in the garage unplated for a year, and get the 300hp STI. I'm leaning towards c) but I'm open to suggestions... Marz _________________________________________ Did I just kill another thread?

SO my insurance tells me I can get a rental.... they gave me a Fu&*ing NEON!!!!! a NEON for chrissake!!!! That's like flying a 190 Navigator after you've been flying a VX 79 for a year!!!! Oh if I get that bastard.... Marz _________________________________________ Did I just kill another thread?

Yep, I'm pretty aware of that.... _________________________________________ Did I just kill another thread?

If the guy(s) make it to SC with it, I'll be impressed, but here's the pic anyway _________________________________________ Did I just kill another thread?

Thank GOD I took it out last night. However, we had the baby's stroller back there and about 80 CD's. And yes, it's insured!

I've had the car for about a year and a half. I customezed the interior, and dropped about 2 grand in engine upgrades. The only thing that bums me out is that if there's a car chase, they're going to outrun most cop cars in town.... It does 0-60 in about 5 seconds. I sure someone was looking for it. Marz

They never hear of Pong, Space Invaders or Pac Man and have never gone to an arcade to play a video game.

So I'm asleep last night and I hear my car alarm go off and a car start... By the time I get to the window ten seconds later, someone is driving away in my WRX! I'm so fu&*ing pissed off, it's unbelievable! I called 9-1-1 within a minute of it happening and they put out an APB. The police came over and took a report, and I couldn't sleep for the rest of the night. I'm sure my place had been cased for the car, cuz it went so fast. It wasn't an amateur job. Whoever did this better not stick around, because my car is pretty unique and easy to identify. If I ever find the bastard he'll be spitting out teeth!
