So it IS a word. It just looks weird. I feel a little better, but not good enough to finish the article. I keep a dictionary by the computer and "untypical" is not in there, and that bugs me. It looks wierd, doesn't sound right and is not in some dictionaries. Thta's enough for me.

Dude, at first it was kinda flattering, but you really need to stop stocking me. It's getting a little creepy.
-
No one edits the articles? Well then, I guess that explains THAT.
-
So, I assume this is along the lines of when dictionaries recognize a slang word or something similar? As when enough people use a word incorrectly that the dictionary has to add it? Because the places I checked (bigger name dictionaries) don't recognize it at all. And it cetainly looked stupid enough in that first sentence to make me want to research it.

I never made it any further than "untypical" to read the article.

So I get up this morning, jump on dz.com and see a new article posted on the front page about a powered wingsuit flight. I can't read past the first sentence because this word, "untypical." Is that even a word? It sure looked funny to me, so I looked it up. No results. I tried another place to look it up. Still nothing. So IS it a word? If so, someone please prove me wrong, cause it is really bugging me. And if it is not, how does it make it onto the front page, in the first sentence, without someone catching it?
-
You might want to get away from dz.com then!

Yup- it was pretty priceless! She had absolutely NO idea what to do. And it served her right, since I am sure she got a real kick out of making guys look stupid. She and her friends didn't stay long after that. Probably on to the next bar to build their egos back up.

When I was like 22 years old, I was out at a bar and decided to take a shot at a girl who I really wasn't interested in, but I was pretty drunk and it sounded like fun. She was the type of girl that guys didn't want to approach because she was so hot and would have no trouble telling you to take a hike. You know, that girl who thought she was above everyone and was God's gift to men. I walked up to her at the bar, she turned and looked at me and immediately turned her nose up and gave me the "Oh please" look. So I just smiled and ordered a drink. I purposely waited until I got her attention again, she was now almost disgusted that I was still there, and said, "Oh I am so sorry. How rude of me. Can I buy you a drink?" She reacted exactly how I thought she would and immediately switched on her diva mode to burn me and make me look stupid. She gave me that "Honey, please!" look again, looked me up and down, then looked down at my crotch area and said, "With something THAT small, you shouldn't be asking for ANYTHING." Now, this in itself was a pretty good line, and I am sure she had used it many times before to send guys away licking their wounds, but I just looked at her and smiled as she waited for my reaction of embarrassment and humiliation. What she got was this.... "I bet if I put it in your mouth, you couldn't tell me to take it out." Her jaw dropped open in disbelief and everyone within earshot errupted in laughter. She was horrified. I picked up my drink and walked away. It was pretty funny. I can't take full credit for that line, and I don't remember where I heard it, but it certainly worked well!

Choosing canopy colors - packing an issue?
ccowden replied to natecoon's topic in General Skydiving Discussions
A light colored center cell will definitely get quite dirty from packing. But it wouldn't stop me from doing it. -
I was just curious because I don't mind the E815 software. Some things I don't like, but can live with.
-
Well, I ceratinly don't see any reason why those pics are any worse than any other phone takes. As a matter of fact, the first one is downright amazing! Have you had other Motorolas before this one? It looks t me as if the RAZR is just the E815 in a slim design.

Yes, pull the lever. Yes, let him stay in there. No wait.... No, let him stay in there and pull the lever... errr..... No, pull the lever.... I mean Yes, let him fall down.... ummmm I am confused!

Sell it on ebay. I think I am gonna get the RAZR and see if I like the phone. If not, the Verizon RAZR is selling on ebay for like $375 and I can buy it for $199. Not too worried about getting rid of it if I don't like the functions.
-
Well it wouldn't be the SAME thing, but probably more worth your time for sure. And if he is that close to you and isn't taking advantage of it to take you along or just go out, then he is more than a bum.... he's an idiot!
-
Then just drive up here to NY and visit me! Oh wait....

You're the one who said THROBBING HEAD.

You DO know that Airborne School is in Ft. Benning, don't you? I don't think being at Ft. Bragg will increase your chances of getting a slot much. It isn't about where you are as much as what you do. And nowadays if Airborne wasn't part of your original MOS and training, then getting a slot for the school is very difficult.
