I just wanted this to be reposted and not deletable... Smack-taking AND double talking... geeze you must be scared.... You missed the biggest red flag. "I have faith in Oren" Anyway, as a confirmed liberal, if we lose it, I shall just demand endless recounts until everyone else loses interest. Then I shall declare victory. Then there will be a party. With cake.

Yes you can. Guy Wright will be there, and I'll have a word with him for you. No, don't thank me, it's all part of the service. Just try to keep your obvious lust for him under control.

hehehe... that'll depend how mach vdschoor and gareth put in my paypal account to funnel the damn thing if it gets too close for comfort.. I've never had to pay you to funnel my loads before. Why should I start now ? Anyway, you'll be too busy using your new AFF skills to get Oren the right way up out of the door.
-
I shall therefore be one of your ringers.... Oren, you're toast dude.

Lots of people have successfully landed wingsuits from the 30's onwards. It's the getting up and walking away afterwards that has proved problematical. Somebody's going to try it though. British jumper and trainee astronaut Tim Mace calculated exactly the speed, approach angle and flare necessary to do it, but purely as an academic exercise. You don't get to go to space camp if you haven't worked out when to say no.

Whenever I order fish, I always ask to leave the head on for the cat.

You've never met Kathy Gillespie have you ?

Is that the excerise regimen that got you the deluxe body that you currently inhabit ? I may be inclined to wait on that advice if so. I follow the same exercise regimen as my cat, inlcuding at least 8 hours per day on the couch.

Motivation is overrated. Make a martini the size of your head, put the phone and remote within reach and enjoy sinking into the couch. It's joy unto itself. The world will come along and make you busy all too soon.

A Wankel Rotary Engine

Actually, that record is now held by perhaps the most unintentionally hilarious band in the world, Manowar.

I dunno. I've been sending nude pictures of myself to women for years, and all it got me was a restraining order.

Sorry, I'm taken.

It takes a while to fully appreciate them. It's a kind of thing where you either get it or you don't, a bit like The Ramones. To see Motorhead live when they are on form in full red-eyed fury is a magnificent thing. Mind you, when they suck, they really suck. I like it like that though. They put to shame just about any nu-metal band that has a middle class white singer that complains about his dad. i.e. all of them. Go read Lemmy's autobiography, White Line Fever. It's an enjoyable trip down memory lane for us old British farts that grew up in the 50's and 60's. You'd enjoy it for sure.

This is true, but then, I didn't really expect them to be there. No one really ever accuses my musical tastes as being either classic or tasteful. I think a few of my other are on there though. I do have a quiet side though. XTC are probably one of my favorite ever bands.

OK, I shall jump in here and try to make a general point without pimping the Wings too hard, although that is really my job. The cut-in laterals on the Wings are VERY unlikely to bruise you, because they are attached to the hip ring, and so can allow the harness to articulate upwards around that point. This translates to very small movements, if any at all, on the cut-in lateral. Other cut-in laterals are generally sewn directly to the main lift web, so any sudden upwards movement on the main lift web is carried into the lateral webbing, and may cause it to rise up your back. In the case of an improperly sized or fitted harness, this movement could causing bruising if the opening were hard enough to move that lateral quickly. Obviously, correct sizing and packing reduces this risk. I have them on both my rigs and really like them. YMMV etc.

You should also note the experiment one of the Byron guys did with his Golf GTI. To wit, if you park it in a field at the drop zone for 6 months because you're too lazy to replace a $25 part, the local field mice will remove every inch of wiring, fabric, and tubing out of it. Last seen on the back of wrecker heading to the crusher.

You got to experience what it was like to be Girlfalldawn not Girlfalldown and the correct term is CREAMED MY JEANS. Get it right you French freak. Actually this may be correct. After all, if he's French, he may just be referring to a simple buerre blanc sauce lightly prepared and slipped into the underwear.

I might also add, if you like NIN, you'll LOVE Rammstein.

I didn't think it was possible, but I think I had the perfect Motorhead experience yesterday. I was lying flat on my back having a front tooth drilled out at the dentists, and there was a 64 inch overhead plasma TV to watch. Just as he started in seriously drilling. Motorhead came on and did Ace of Spades. Absoluteley perfect. Serendipity, and probably the first time that Motorhead ever helped put a filling in rather than vibrate one out. Greatest. Band. Ever.

He's a lazy genius then. A bit of new product now and again wouldn't hurt.

I bought this great book called How to Fight Your Ticket in CA It's full of great legal wrangling to make just about any speeding ticket go away. It's worked for me each time. Also, get to know the cops that skydive. They are a great source for writing off your fix it tickets, and letting you know the shift pattern of the cop that you want to call into court. Don't try the lost insurance card deal in CA. 9 times out of 10, you're going to get your vehicle impounded right there.

I'd say the air ride suspension, progressive springs, and 30 weight. The cartridge emulators do what they suggest. Basically they allow your front end to mimic the effect of much more pricey racing cartridge forks. Here's short blurb on them http://www.motorcyclecruiser.com/tech/RaceTechEmulators/ They are about $125 a set. I know that is might be considered sacriledge, but I'd put lighter allow wheels on the FatBoy. You can get rid of a lot of rotational mass and unsprung weight that way.
