  1. I get it at 8:00 p.m. on digital, so I don't have to stay up late to see it. I like the Brak Show and Venture Brothers best though. I suspect that a lot of my posts make me come off like the Monarch...... Meatwad reminds me of DeBar somehow.
  2. Personally, as an AFF instructor with about 8000 jumps, I wouldn't take you as a student. With gear, you would be over 300 pounds. I've learned over the years that students of this exit weight are very difficult to control even when they are doing everything right. In any kind of instablity or tumble, they very quickly become unmanageable. Also, at a 300 pound exit weight, you may be exceeding the TSO limit of many reserve canopies. There have been failiures of reserve parachutes recently that have been deployed at terminal velocities that exceeded their TSO ratings. Lastly, if you did get through a training program, you would find it difficult to jump with anyone. There are larger jumpers who do manage, but they are usually ones that already have a lot of experience. You're also much more likely to injure yourself on any bad landing. I personally have only met one skydiver of over 300 pounds exit weight in nearly 20 years, and that person had to jump alone with modified gear. Simply put, with no judgement, skydiving is an action sport that places a lot stress on the body, and places the participant at significant deadly risk each and every time that you jump. Your best chance of safety and success comes with good training and better than average physical fitness and awareness. If you really want to be a skydiver, you need to address your weight issue and drop at least 50 pounds if that is both safe and possible.
  3. One of my guilty pleasures. I love the paternity test shows. I particularly like the woman who tested 11 guys so sar and still hasn't found the father of her kid. I mean, I have an active social life, but how many people do you have to fuck in a three week period before you just can't remember which one might have been the winner in the moron lottery ?
  4. Join the club ADHD boy What meds are you on ? That's what's doing it for me. I may have to wear a guard or change my meds. I managed to flex one tooth so badly, I cracked it and had to have a crown done. It's a common symptom of ADHD and can be made worse with some meds. Hell, I'm even aware of grinding them as I type this.

    For my mother's funeral, one of the options I was offered was a cardboard box. I shit you not. She would have loved it too. She hated the idea of spending cash on an elaborate send off. I was going to get it, and maybe bung a few stickers on it and get people to sign it, but I was talked out of it by the other relations. I thought it would have been kind of nice to have people write a little message on it at the crematorium, but in the end, perhaps it was for the best that it all stayed more traditional.
  6. I regard feminism as the radical notion that women are people. Mind you, I don't really care as long as my dinner's on the table when I get home.
  7. 1. Never 2. Emigrated 3. No, it's not even more expensive than the Diet Coke I'm drinking as I type this. 4. He bought a Wings, which is the nicest thing you can say about anyone
  8. You just missed him. He was here in Berkeley last week. I love rhubarb pie BTW.
  9. I'm not entirely sure that I did. I just like to see people pied. It's a completely non-partisan thing for me.
  10. Does that still ring true in your mind, after a three letter edit? ps - you do know that such an act qualifies as assault, right? Indeed I do. But if you're going to assault somneone, a banana cream pie is a good way to do it. If we hold fast to that, then anyone we pie at a DZ could sue for assault too.
  11. I've been dealing with them since 1989. Always on top of their game IMHO. None better. You're the customer. Don't like it, go buy something else.
  12. Only for their favorite agendas, John... you oughta know that by now!! Intolerance of opposing views is hardly an exclusively liberal trait my good fellow. Do you read any of the other posts on SC ? If the worst you have to deal with after years of right-wing bulb-headed shit-brickery is a cream pie in the face, you're getting off lightly.
  13. Ooh Oooh, I live in Berkeley. I know how to bake. When's he coming ?
  14. QuoteJust got this today. This is something new I've never seen. reply] Yep. It's another phishing scam. No bank is ever going to email you asking for this type of information.
  15. How about a free cat instead ? I have just the one for you here; http://www.perfect-disorder.net/downloads/pics/pages/freecat_jpg.htm
  16. I can help you with that. Send the buggers to me. I'll dispose of them in a controlled and safe manner, by metablosing them in the company of a nice Bollinger.
  17. One layer. What you see here is what you get in person and vice versa. I'm way more sexy in person though.
  18. Which shows you have a basic misunderstanding of men's views of sex. Women are way more emotionally involved in the sexual act than men. Men are basically as faithful as their options, as Chris Rock likes to say. A man can sleep around without much emotional involvement and compartmentalize that behaviour to keep it separate from his primary relationship very easily. Just because a guy is fucking around doesn't mean that he doesn't like his SO. (It doesn't make him a saint either.) It usually means that he has the means, motive and opportunity to get away with it. There's a reason that strip joints have women stripping for men and not the other way around. Asking a guy if he's had enough sex is like asking a dog if he's had enough to eat yet.
  19. How about "I fired them because they refused to do the job they were hired for " If that's why they were fired, they don't have any legal recourse for a discrimination suit.
  20. A strawman argument at best. The law is designed so that you can get a legal prescription filled at a pharmacy, which is after all, a service that exists to do just that. No-one would be asking anyone to perform an abortion that wasn't in the business of already doing so. This is the territory of OBS/GYN, and doctors who don't wish to perform them usually don't work in facilities that provide them. I believe also, that non-secular hospitals don't have to provide anything they don't want to, as long as they don't take public money. Basically, the law states that if you decide to work in a pharmacy, just shut up and fill the damn prescriptions.
  21. Probably an April Fools joke.
  22. He's baaaaaaack ! You'd think they could get this sort of thing right really don't you ? It is April 1st though I suppose.
