Haha. I once accidentally lit a model rocket engine in my basement. I was using a lighter and _trying_ to show a friend that they wouldn't light without one of those ignition things. Oops. Then there was the time I burned a 3 foot circle in the carpet in my bedroom. Then there was the time I lit an entire box of matches. Then there was the time.... - Jim "Like" - The modern day comma Good bye, my friends. You are missed.

Probably, but look on the bright side, you could satisfy one of his life long dreams and it would probably be over in seconds. - Jim "Like" - The modern day comma Good bye, my friends. You are missed.

My little apartment in Grandview, well really I liked living in Grandview. I would have preferred I larger apartment. The BlueJackets were just coming to town when I left. The little bar on High Street just a mile or so from Nationwide that had an incredible beer selection. The people. I liked that it was closer to lifelong friends and family. Oh yeah, Paninni's, they don't sem to have those out here on the east coast. There's a lot I miss about Columbus, Delaware is nice, but it ain't the same. - Jim "Like" - The modern day comma Good bye, my friends. You are missed.

If I weren't going to be in Toledo visiting family I would. I'd love to be back in Columbus, I miss that place. :( - Jim "Like" - The modern day comma Good bye, my friends. You are missed.

You responded to the thread, it caught you. :) And me, and everyone else. Sometimes it's fun to feed the trolls though. - Jim "Like" - The modern day comma Good bye, my friends. You are missed.

Hmmm... I'm not in Phoenix, but I am drinking a mighty fine beer right now. Drinking and trying to figure out how I'm going to deal with a 10+ hour drive to Ohio tomorrow. Ugh. - Jim "Like" - The modern day comma Good bye, my friends. You are missed.

That really is absurd. I don't like it when we create laws to address problems created by the non-enforcement of other laws. We're asking only illegal aliens from certain countries to register? I could agree with this if the law applied to EVERYONE from ANY COUNTRY. It doesn't help that the INS is being secretive about the numbers of those who are being detained. This is just sad. - Jim "Like" - The modern day comma Good bye, my friends. You are missed.

Good advice Sonic. The 51 ft bridle is the key to success. - Jim "Like" - The modern day comma Good bye, my friends. You are missed.

Please tell us why. I put about 30 jumps on a Cobalt 170 and I absolutely loved the way it flew and landed. In fact, if I hadn't had issues with a few rather brisk openings I probably would have tried to by the demo from Atair. - Jim "Like" - The modern day comma Good bye, my friends. You are missed.

I'm told that hang gliders don't scale in a straight line either, does any wing scale that way? - Jim "Like" - The modern day comma Good bye, my friends. You are missed.

Anyone know of a tool to convert between the different video file formats? I've got a bunch of videos on my PC and I'd like to convert them all to mpg or avi so that I can burn them to VCD. What's the difference between a VCD and a Super VCD? Thanks, Jim "Like" - The modern day comma Good bye, my friends. You are missed.

That same warden also serves them moldy bread and moldy lunch meat. He is proud when he boasts that he spends more on the prison dogs than he does on the prisoners. In general I don't have a problem with this, but he's doing it convicted and unconvicted inmates. I don't think that's so cool to do to those who haven't been convicted yet. As far as those who have been convicted I wouldn't care if they were forced to eat their own shit. You think that the gas chamber is humanitarian? - Jim "Like" - The modern day comma Good bye, my friends. You are missed.

There's more use for a parachute than just getting your ass safely on the ground. Use your imagination, there are quite a few potential applications that _I_ can think of, and I'm sure that there a quite a few more than that. - Jim "Like" - The modern day comma Good bye, my friends. You are missed.

Gale said: and then Samurai136 said: We all know, at least I hope we do, that there are times when it's better to sit on the ground than it is to jump. Unfortunately at 20, 65, and even 110 jumps I think that the urge to jump is so strong that people ignore the conditions or get themselves so pumped up about the jump that they do it anyway, even when they know it's a bit riskier than it needs to be. It's unfortunate and I think most people learn their lesson without getting injured, unfortunately some don't. New jumpers: When you see the guys with thousands of jumps who are on every load sitting down, maybe you should sit down too. - Jim "Like" - The modern day comma Good bye, my friends. You are missed.

Something to do with dating, of course. The only thing I know is that at one point they were filming him and his date on a tandem bike and he either ran over, or tried to run over, the camera man. He's in Florida now and I'm sure he'll surface at one of the bigger DZs after his leg has mended. - Jim "Like" - The modern day comma Good bye, my friends. You are missed.

I have a friend who is also a skydiver who was on Ricky Lake not once, but two times. Unfortunately I haven't seen either episode, I'm quite certain it's a bit of riot. - Jim "Like" - The modern day comma Good bye, my friends. You are missed.

HAHAAHAAAAA. Every business I've worked for would have a party if they could the phone company to do ANYTHING in two weeks, much less install a data line. Don't they charge more if you're running a business? - Jim "Like" - The modern day comma Good bye, my friends. You are missed.

Don't feel bad, that link points to the abridged, difficult to print version that caused all the grumbling. - Jim "Like" - The modern day comma Good bye, my friends. You are missed.
