OH!!! Girl Scout Thin Mints are the BEST!!! Damn - ya just HAD to remind me!! I'm out of stock on 'em and now I've got to wait until February to re-supply!! I usually buy several boxes and keep them in the freezer - LOVE to eat 'em frozen!! Brisco Experience is what you get when you don't get what you want.

There was a pretty cool episode of, I think, The Twilight Zone, where alien creatures came to earth with such a device and they had a user's guide titled "To Serve Man", but other than the title, was written in their language. They were convincing people to come back with them to their planet on the premise that it was a wonderful, peaceful place. One woman was real suspicious about that book while her boss was just chomping at the bit to get aboard that craft to go to that planet. The girl finally figured out the book and just as her boss was getting on the spaceship, she came running out yelling "Stop! Stop!! It's a COOKBOOK!!"

A guy is visiting San Francisco and while in Chinatown, he stops into an antique/curio shop where he finds a bronze rat. Thinking it would make a great conversation piece for his office, he asks the price of the rat. The shop owner tells him that the bronze rat is $10 and another $100 for the story that goes with it. The guy says, "I'll just take the rat - you can keep the story!", pays the $10 and starts walking back to his hotel. He's barely out of the store when a real, live rat crawls out of a hole somewhere and begins to follow him. That rat is soon joined by another and then another. The guys starts walking faster and the rats keep up with him, all the while more and more rats are joining the parade. So the man starts running and the rats start running. Rats are crawling out of every hole and alley and soon there are thousands of rats running after the man. Near panic, the man runs as fast as he can with all the rats in hot pursuit. He runs right down to the edge of San Francisco Bay and hurls the bronze rat as far into the bay as he can and all the rats jump into the bay after it and drown. The man goes back to the store where he bought the rat and the owner says, "Ah! I see you've come back for the story of the bronze rat!!" "Not at all", says the man, "I just came back to see if you had any bronze lawyers!!" Brisco Experience is what you get when you don't get what you want.

On their wedding night, a man tells his new wife that he was putting a box under the bed and that he wanted her to promise that under no circumstances would she ever look in the box. The young wife agreed and, although often curious about the box, she kept her promise and never looked in it. On the day of their 40th anniversary, however, she reasoned that after 40 years, what harm could it cause to take a peek in the box. So, that day while her husband was at work, she dragged the box from under the bed, picked the lock and raised the lid. Inside she found 2 empty beer cans and $2200 in cash. That evening during their anniversary dinner, the wife said to her husband, "Honey... I have a confession to make. After 40 years, I couldn't stand it anymore. I broke my promise to you and I looked in the box under the bed. What is so secret about some empty beer cans and some cash"? "Well", said the husband, "I suppose after 40 years I can tell you. I'm sorry to admit that I have cheated on you with another woman and each time I cheated, I drank a beer and put the empty can in the box to remind myself how wrong it was and to never do it again". At first the wife was horrified at this news, but then thought to herself - 2 times over 40 years? that wasn't so bad and he had otherwise been a very good husband. So she said, "While I'm not happy about this news, I can forgive you because you've been such a wonderful husband. That explains the beer cans, but what about the $2200.00 in cash?" "Oh, that", he said, "well every time the box got full of empty beer cans I cashed in the aluminum!" Brisco Experience is what you get when you don't get what you want.

Here's on of my favorites Brisco Experience is what you get when you don't get what you want.

Yeah, I do alright - some good weeks, some bad. It depends on how lazy I get!! LOL Mostly I shop government auctions and sell a lot of electronic, laboratory, medical, audio, video equipment, etc. But I ain't proud - I'll sell anything that'll turn a buck. What's kind of neat is when I list an item that I have no earthly idea of what it is and it turns out to be valuable. I've sold more than a few items that I actually held over the trash can for 30 seconds and then decided to try to sell it instead and got several hundred bucks for it. It beats working for a living! Brisco Experience is what you get when you don't get what you want.

I work from home selling shit on eBay. Kinda nice when the weather and the money co-operate I get to blow off work and go skydiving! Brisco Experience is what you get when you don't get what you want.

I knew that phrase had a familiar ring to it!! Jeeze - I forgot all about that guy! He was a riot! Brisco Experience is what you get when you don't get what you want.

Only in America! Bill Clinton is getting $12 million for his memoirs. His wife Hillary got $8 million for hers. That's $20 million for memories from two people who for eight years repeatedly testified under oath, that they couldn't remember anything. What a country!!!!

Welcome Skygal! I'm working this morning, but that's only because of a family (read whuffo) get-together this afternoon that is keeping me away from the dz hmmm... maybe if I just keep talking about skydiving all afternoon, the family will ban me from any more functions! I can see it now, me, Christmas morning, sitting at the dz and wondering where everyone is! LOL On the bright side, working pays for jumps!!

I WANNA BE TRAILER TRASH KID TOO! HEXDOG#99 The latest ploy to drive the Taliban and Al Qaeda out of the mountains of Afghanistan is to send in a team of South Carolina Special Forces. Billy Bob, Bubba, Jimmy Joe, Cephus, Skeeter and Cooter are being sent in with the following information about the Taliban: 1. There is no limit 2. The season opened last weekend 3. They taste like chicken 4. They don't like beer, pickup trucks, country music or Jesus 5. Some may be queer 6. They don't like BBQ 7. They are responsible for Dale Earnhardt's death Yep, should be over in about a week!!! Brisco Experience is what you get when you don't get what you want.

I guess I'm not surprised - 30-odd years will do that! I was with the Air Force in Korat (north east of Bangkok) and at that time I was only earning $150 a month and I was considered "rich" by the locals. And I guess I was, because even on that meager salary I was able to afford to rent a pretty nice house downtown and still have enough money left over to party with all month long!

Man, that brings back some memories!! I spent a year in Thailand - 1970-1971 - and just LOVED it!! The people there are just awesome and they really appreciate it if you take the time to learn to speak just a little Thai (you'll even get better deals on stuff you buy when you haggle with them in their own language). I haven't been back there since, but GOD I'd love to go again. Chris- it sounds like you've been there in the not-too-distant past - what is the baht exchange rate now? Back in the early 70's is was like 20 baht to the dollar. Sawatdee Krup! Brisco Experience is what you get when you don't get what you want.

Not much you can do but offer advice and then step back and let him make his mistakes. How does that go? Anything that doesn't kill you makes you stronger!

Lot's of great ideas! Thanks folks! His home dz is the Human School of Flight outside of Tallahassee. I like the stripper idea! Maybe I could hire some chick to wear nothing but a rig! LOL And the gift certificate and catalog is another great idea. His employer is not going to let him get away with anything and has provided him with a laptop and is trying to figure out how to get him connected so he can work while he's laid up (yeah, right - to quote Maynard G. Krebs for those old enough to remember him, "work? WORK?"), so I guess I'll stop protecting him from the debauchery of dz.com - hell, he's 30 years old, I guess he can handle it now! I guess he's going to be in the hospital for at least a week and I'm not sure what happens then. I know he'll go home, but don't know yet if he'll have to stay in bed for awhile or wheelchair or what. I'm going to fly down there after he's released from the hospital to help him out for a few days. Thanks again for all the suggestions! You folks are great!

Hey all! This past June, as a father's day present, my son paid for my first tandem jump. He made his first, as did my dad and my nephew. My son and I got hooked and have been in sort of parallel training together - he in Florida and me in North Carolina. Anyhow, this past Tuesday the kid was riding his motorcycle and a van pulled out in front of him and he got busted up pretty bad. Nothing life threatening, but he's got a broken femur (doc's inserted a steel rod there), a busted knee cap (surgery on Monday- his 30th birthday yet!) and a broken collar bone, plus assorted scrapes and bruises. I'm going to send him some balloons/flowers, but I was wondering if anyone knew of anything skydiving related I could send him? Maybe a little bear with a parachute? Anyone know of anything like that and where I could get it? I bought him a new altimeter for his b'day, but it looks like that's just going to collect dust for then next few months. The kid's really got some spirit - he's already said that when he gets the insurance settlement on the bike, he's going to buy himself a new rig! Suggestions please!

I start getting irritable on the drive home from the dz!! Brisco Experience is what you get when you don't get what you want.

You may have already heard about this one. A woman called tech support and said that she was right in the middle of a Word document when it just went away and she couldn't get it back. The tech guy asked her a few questions and determined that her screen was completely dark (off). After a few more questions, he wanted her to check to see if the monitor was still plugged into the computer, thinking the connector may have come loose. She said it was too dark down there and she couldn't see it. He suggested that she turn a light on to help her see. She said, "I can't. The power went off in the building and we have no lights!"

It makes sense to me - I want one of THOSE coffins since my wife told me she'd kill me if she ever caught me with a girl who looked like that! Brisco Experience is what you get when you don't get what you want.

A man with a dog walks into a bar and bets the bartender the price of a drink that his dog can talk. The bartender takes the bet. The man turns to his dog and says, "Fido, what does sandpaper feel like?" The dog says "Ruff! Ruff!" The bartender rolls his eyes and tells the guy to get out. The guy says, "give me another chance!" and the bartender again agrees. So the guy asks his dog, "Fido, what is on top of a house?" The dog answers "Roof! Roof!" The bartender getting a little exasperated tells the guy to get lost! The guy pleads for one more chance and asks the dog, "Fido, who was the greatest baseball player of all time?" to which the dog says "Ruth! Ruth!" The bartender is pissed at this waste of his time and yells at the guy "Get the fuck out of my bar and take your stupid dog with you!" As they are walking out of the bar the dog says to the guy, "Gee, do ya think I should have said DiMaggio?" Brisco Experience is what you get when you don't get what you want.
