  1. I trained in Wing Chun for about six months and I thought it was a very effective style for close quarters, as in coach class. First-class, you're better off getting the attendants law degrees and threatening to sue unruly passengers. Trapped on the surface of a sphere. XKCD
  2. Something I learned from a packer: while he is slaving away in the heat, packing your canopy for a mere $5, don't drink beer, call him your bitch, and flirt with his girlfriend. Trapped on the surface of a sphere. XKCD
  3. Rule #2: Double-Tap! Trapped on the surface of a sphere. XKCD
  4. I'm all for segregation, but because of the damn integration, they have to bus them back to the DZ after they land. Trapped on the surface of a sphere. XKCD
  5. Well, first, CO was a book. Then it was a movie. The book holds more fodder for commentary in social experimentation than the movie did. The movie is redeeming only for some interesting cinematography and some pretty good acting by McDowell. Trapped on the surface of a sphere. XKCD
  6. If her last name was Ivannafukalot, then I would demand she take my name. Otherwise, I don't really care about a silly name. Trapped on the surface of a sphere. XKCD
  7. Or smart enough to know when he ain't smart enough to answer. Many people ain't that smart Trapped on the surface of a sphere. XKCD
  8. I recall this same thing happening two years ago: http://www.necn.com/Boston/Nation/2009/07/14/Hole-in-fuselage-of-737-forces/1247566001.html Trapped on the surface of a sphere. XKCD
  9. The "bully" probably goes home and gets beat up by his drunken father or older brother. I feel sorry for these kids, they more frequently learn it from their family than their friends. Trapped on the surface of a sphere. XKCD
  10. I use mine all the time, I even carry a tertiary post Of course, my thought process is a little different than most of the posters here in Bonfire. It goes like this: typetypetypetype "Hmm, will writing this get my ass kicked at the DZ next time I see this person?" "Probably." backspace, backspace, backspace "How could I say this in a positive way?" type ... type ... type ... type Trapped on the surface of a sphere. XKCD
  11. Passenger caption contest: "What kind of gas is in your balloon?" Trapped on the surface of a sphere. XKCD
  12. Marriage counselor that I go to hates Facebook. She says it has caused more divorces and bad resurgent relationships in the last few years than she's seen in the first 15 years of her practice. Sure it "brings people together", but most of us are so emotionally immature, that it brings us together in bad ways. Trapped on the surface of a sphere. XKCD
  13. Most of the Eagles tunes sound like western music to me. I don't like country/western. The popular tunes sound less like country, and more like rock-n-roll. Trapped on the surface of a sphere. XKCD

    Overrated Crap

    Never go full retard. Trapped on the surface of a sphere. XKCD
  15. So, ... wait. How many wars are we currently engaged in? Iraq - Operation New Dawn. "50,000 U.S. troops are now designated as "advise and assist brigades" assigned to non-combat operations while retaining the ability to revert to combat operations as necessary. Two combat aviation brigades also remain in Iraq." Does that count? Afghanistan - the longest running war in US history. Libya - President Obama is trying to convey that this will be a two or three day engagement. Isn't that what Bush Jr. said about the second Iraqi war? More American lives taken. Higher taxes for the rest of us. Trapped on the surface of a sphere. XKCD
  16. We have a guy like that at my current job - says whatever comes to mind, and he deals with everyone since he fixes their computers. We call him "Red Light", since we had harassment training, and they used the "green light", "yellow light" and "red light" metaphors. Most of this guy's verbiage falls into the red-light category. We started a new program where we all vote for the biggest contributor to the company every quarter. He was voted as the biggest contributor, and the company is paying for a trip to the Carribbean for him. If I said those things, I would probably get fired. Trapped on the surface of a sphere. XKCD
  17. That cartoon was about as useful as Chinese instructions for assembling faux-wood furniture in a box of Wheaties. Trapped on the surface of a sphere. XKCD
  18. Seems like you're comparing people that die from natural causes, accidents and self-destruction to the willful acts of one person murdering another. I don't see how those two things even compare. Trapped on the surface of a sphere. XKCD
  19. What is it with the people that wait until after something bad has happened to make up a story about how they predicted it would happen, just to get some attention? And why do people believe them? Trapped on the surface of a sphere. XKCD
  20. I like the idea, but a lot of the objects are stupid. A poloraid? Sunglasses? Those could be from hundreds of movies. Trapped on the surface of a sphere. XKCD
  21. I always thought a glass-bottom jump ship would be a nice idea, kinda like those glass-bottom boats. Of course, looking out the window works if you know what to look for. Trapped on the surface of a sphere. XKCD
  22. Maybe our tests are too precise. You could probably find a lot of bacteria from fecal matter on the average living-room carpet, television remote control, swing seat, and tennis ball, if you looked hard enough. If I can't see a brown lump with a magnifying glass, I'm OK with it. Unless it kills me. Trapped on the surface of a sphere. XKCD
  23. Dog says "WTF? I was just sniffing the ground, then, Holy Fuck, some tires came out of nowhere, running downstairs to get away, some man in many stripes and big hat runs over my tail!" Trapped on the surface of a sphere. XKCD
  24. Good news - you just earned a VIP sticker on your woman card Trapped on the surface of a sphere. XKCD
  25. OK, several of you have asked questions, so I would like to clarify question 1: 1. On the opposite side from the warning label, the item is clearly marked as pepper spray. On the warning label itself, a list of active ingredients, along with a first aid response is printed in Helvetica, 8-point font, with bold typeface to highlight important points. 2. There is a safety tab that needed to be pushed out of the way to enable the trigger pull. The safety requires approximately the same energy to disable as it would take to read both sides of the item three times. 3. Bleach will not remove the red stain from the wall, which is plaster and will need to be resurfaced and repainted. 4. In a random survey of one four-year old girl (my own), she answered this quiz correctly, but that may just be a good guess, because three out of the four answers will qualify as correct. That should be enough information to answer the quiz for full credit. Trapped on the surface of a sphere. XKCD
