I got the bug again to go out shooting my shotgun after a turkey shoot. I've really been interested in target shooting with handguns recently. I'm looking at some semiauto's in the .22 range. I've some opinions to what some good brands are, but what are you guys shooting?

And you look so innocent...

The last blown toggle I saw happend to a young man that had vibrant skin, and calves that were so smooth, they looked like two boneless, skinless chicken breasts on his legs. That wasn't you was it?

I always said that if I had to get killed in some unnatural way it would be fighting an enormous grizzley bear with nothing but a knife. Well just short of being killed, that's what happend tonight when I got home. My wife's a big girl, kinda like a shaved bear, and 8 months pregnant so her sex hormones are pumping some serious sex blood through her. She attacked me right when I walked in the door and "did" things to me. I feel like I want to take a shower as she sits in her recliner muttering things to herself and giving me evil stares. I think I'd want to go out getting hit by a bus instead. At least it would be quick.

I was reading this in another thread and have heard it recently that when you somehow have one toggle in hand and the other flapping behind you, that the thing to do is toss the other one. Seems just wrong to willingly give up all that control you have in that remaining toggle. I recently had the misfortune of dropping a base toggle for the first time on accident. The thought of losing the other to maintain canopy flight symmetry never came to play. I landed just fine with one riser and one toggle. Seems to me that it's just such an unnecessary practice that is very popular.

I'm just glad it wasn't the left front riser you got a hold of. I'd crack a cold one and eat a pizza.

8. Routing the control lines through the rings on the risers and through the slider grommets for slider up. 9. Routing the control lines outside the rings on the risers and outside the slider grommets for slider down. It's been a while but I do remember someone jumping slider down with the control lines through the riser rings. I was new at the time and he was vauge as to his reasoning. Maybe he is here reading these? 10. Pitch your pc off to the side of you and not straight out. I used to do this and once when I pulled my arm back quickly, the bridle ended up under my armpit.

A guy at work bought one that was labeled "semi tame." It turned out to be a fucking terror. Humans weren't sopposed to live with other primates. I get told that when I'm out with my wife. She's really ugly.

Oh and it has to have an armband becasue I dont have any pockets on my lycra shorts or spandex muscle shirt.

It sounds like you're way more into this shit than I want to be. I'm not blowing $300 on something like this. I'll just whistle!

I'm looking for a good small radio unit that has the small earphones to wear while biking or working. I'm kinda out of touch as to what is good brand names out there. Those Ipod nano's look like the size I'd like, but I'm more of a radio guy and being able to download songs would be secondary and just a bonus. Looking to spend around $20 or so. Thanks in advance

How funny! I just read a book last week that was all about them and I made a mental note to see if anyone had pictures of them in real life and not some calender. The great pyramid looks amazing.

Learn to use a compass. Or start Base.

I purchased a $10 field directional compass recently that is liquid filled and has the thumb holder, magnifying glass and wire.. I took out the vcr tape "Never Get Lost" from the library and started the self teaching thing. I observed that my compass varies greatly from time to time as to where magnetic north is. I've made sure to hold it level to allow free movement of the needle, to make sure no metal comes in close proximity (like a watch band or so), and to stand still. Now I'm here to practice this for if/when I need it. This compass is telling me north is this way but then after giggling it around a bit, it tells me it's 20 degrees that way. Do you think this a user problem or is it a compass quality issue? If it's me I can take the help. I just want to learn

Has anybody on here quit base? I know it sounds stupid to ask since they may not visit here anymore. But I must admit, I thought about the recent fatatlity, that if it was a certain person I knew, I might quit. Not for any other reason but that I jived well with them in their fun but also caution and respect for the sport. I've always had the mindset that I know the risks of our sport. Putting all macho manly shit aside, I wonder if I really do sometimes. No disrespect meant to anyone, just having some thoughts that outsiders might not understand.

I agree completely. Recently a large group of jumpers were all together and none of us could come up with an idea of why anyone would need an aid at all for packing a PC. Aside that, I just cannot understand why anyone would even use a pullup cord to "hold" their lines together before stowing. Now I know that is a bit off topic but it goes along with the idea of unecessary aids that have caused problems. Remember, packing clamps are aids and not a necessity. Learn to function without them. I couldn't count all the people who were lost packing without clamps on BD this year and therefore only were able to jump the packjob they did earlier. I purposly was taught to pack without them at first, then started using them to streamline the whole process. Knowing how to without them has helped me in many unhospitable packing environments.

My woman and I just went shopping for a new wooden rocker at a furniture store. I've not been to a furniture store in a while and I got to thinking where the hell all that leather on the furniture comes from? Cow? Other animals? Seems it would take a few cows to make those big thick leather recliners. Now mind you, we aren't at a super high dollar store, we're at the local family owned one. It is amazing how much leather items I see used everywhere. Where does it all come from? How many cattle do we raise per year?
-
That's fantastic. I'm not usually into the newest tech shit but this is fun.

No it wasn't high pitched really. It was more of a silly sounding one that you'd hear when someone sees something amazing. My phone is internet capable too but browsing on it takes forever I'm just not that smart when it comes to searching and downloading. Hence me asking to have my hand held.

I heard a loud whistle in the middle of a meeting at work a while ago. It was more funny than anything as it was someone's ringtone. I loved it so much I want one for my Nextel. Any body here know how to get one on my phone? If you could hold my hand too on the link I'd appreciate it.

My neighbors have one and their kids were on that thing for hours on end laughing and giggling all the time. My wife and I used to get nude and rub Wesson oil on each other and go hopping around 3 or 4 in the morning. The dad came outside and caught her because she's such a big girl (before getting pregnant). He ended up calling the cops and when they contacted me, I acted like I had no idea what she was doing and gave them a story of there being a problem with this sort of illness running through her family. The police gave her a hefty ticket and she served a lot of community service. When I'm out mowing my lawn, those neigbors won't even wave at me.

We just finished up and had about 40 or so visits and about a half bottle of some great Lamarette Merlot. I gave out all the candy because my woman is too big and pregnant and is scaring the kids. It's kinda sexy though.
