He had his hand on Abraham Lincoln's personal Bible, held by his wife Michelle. Anyway, they told Chief Justice Roberts to get his sorry ass into the White House last night and made him do it over again, the right way, in the Oval Office. There are photos, a recording, and witnesses. End of story. Your humble servant.....Professor Gravity !

I find this especially offensive as this diplomat apparently has no recollection of his own country's occupation by the Nazis and the puppet Quisling government they installed. I know of no plans by the Israeli govt to round up and exterminate Palestinians en masse. End of story. That they fight back against an enemy who insists on firing rockets into their towns and cities, while using schools and other civilian locations for human shielding, is unfortunate, but necessary. Every nation has the right to defend itself and its people. I hope this diplomat is sacked, though I doubt it will ever happen. Your humble servant.....Professor Gravity !

Go to the hot dog or grabber pilot chutes. That's the ticket. There should be some old ones laying around in a rigger's attic. That's what I did back when I owned & jumped a MKI PC. Tried 2 MA-1's and it sucked - miserable to close when packing as well. Then I got a Hot Dog and things were groovy. Your humble servant.....Professor Gravity !

Seizures are fairly common among people who have had brain surgery. My dad has had several since his two brain ops. I find nothing funny about Sen. Kennedy's seizure and wish him well. Your humble servant.....Professor Gravity !

Oh -- and I put my leg straps on first, and then fasten my chest strap. I have my altimeter on my chest strap, so the chances of forgetting it are pretty doggone small. Pretty much what Wendy says, only I don't mount my alti on the chest strap. But I get the comfiest fit if hold the rig up right where I want it on my back and tighten my chest strap, then tighten the leg straps. Not only makes for the best fit, but assures attention to the chest strap as well as the legs. Your humble servant.....Professor Gravity !

I'm pretty darned careful about how I put my rig on. It seems hard to imagine how I could misroute my chest strap. But to say I'd NEVER do it is not only stupid, it's just plain arrogant. I like doing gear checks with friends. We don't call attention to ourselves doing it, because it's so "uncool". But if I did a stupid job of gearing up, I'd sure be grateful to anyone else who calls my attention to my mistakes. Your humble servant.....Professor Gravity !

Quit trying to keep up with VB at the bars... I was never kicked out of a bar/club.... I did kind of start a bar fight once... But that is another story... honey, i usually dont get kicked out of places.. Has anyone wondered if this chick is even for real ? Or is she just a storyteller / aspiring pornographer ? I have yet to see any of her posts that wasn't more outrageous than the last one. Just wondering..... Your humble servant.....Professor Gravity !

This the main problem of the entire Patriot Act. It gives carte blanche to the assholes and control freaks who simply can't tolerate a ripple in their orderly little routines - while doing NOTHING to make any of us a whit safer. What surprises the shit out of me is that a jury convicted this woman at all. Juries are not intended to rubber stamp authoritarian policies. It is our duty as citizens to accept jury duty so we can deliver a loud "Fuck no !" when cases like this arise. Your humble servant.....Professor Gravity !

Well, lots of moonshine and whacky-tobaccy, and a little bit o' LSD.... And some coke too, just for old time's sake. But I am also glad he commuted the sentences of the two Border Patrol officers who shot the dope dealer in the ass. That was not a full pardon by the way, it was a commutation of their sentences and technically they might not walk until March. They still have to pay fines and will be on probation for another 3 years. Your humble servant.....Professor Gravity !

Oh HAPPY Day !! Your humble servant.....Professor Gravity !

Today's Bush countdown is brought to you by the number ONE. Here it is kiddies, Day 1. The sun has already set over the Potomac on the Bush Presidency. And in keeping with this joyous occasion, I see we have some lovely contributions to today's theme. But all partisanship aside, we as Americans should all be grateful that this will be a peaceful, lawful, and orderly transfer of power. No coup d'etat, no tanks in the street, no citizens "disappearing" from their homes in the dead of night. I was reminded of this very fact back in 2000 by Joan Rivers, the comedienne, on some late night talk show. The whole Bush-Gore-Florida thing was dragging on, ad nauseum, and she said something like, "Oh please ! We're a nation of laws. Are there tanks in the street ? " As unhappy as I was with the way things turned out, I had to admit she was right. So if you're not happy about the new guy, take a deep breath and make a few skydives. You'll live. This country needs a lot of serious work right now, things are darker than they've ever been in our lifetime. And no, Obama does not walk on water. But let's all see what happens and see what we can do together. We'll never all agree, but we will always be Americans. Your humble servant.....Professor Gravity !

Tony Suits are great, as are other brands. I jump a Flite Suit myself. Some considerations: Try to get your measurements taken at a professional skydiving gear shop if at all possible. The people who work in these shops are quite good at it and have lots of experience. You may also want to conside placing your order with a gear shop. They carry more weight with the manufacturers than you do by yourself, especially if there's a problem with your suit after delivery. I didn't see any jump numbers, but if this is your first suit I'm betting you're a newbie. I'd recommend the reinforced knees and butt for your suit, so you don't wear out your suit figuring out your landing approaches. Also, if you're getting a RW suit, definitely get booties, you'll be impressed with the difference they make. And just my opinion, but try to get booties with zippers, otherwise you might have to take your shoes off to get out of the suit (from personal experience).

Pass the Freedom Fries, Liberty Cabbage, and Gallo. Does this ban include banning Arabic numerals ? The slackers who hate math class will be overjoyed. Your humble servant.....Professor Gravity !

This is because of the USELESS legislature we have "serving" us in Sacramento. and I make no distinction between parties, none whatsoever. They are ALL a bunch of useless cocksuckers who are refusing to do the job they are charged with under the state Constitution. It's a bit late, considering the elections were just held and these useless shitbags were just sworn in for another two years at the public trough. But my proposed solution is to turn out every last one of them in the next election. I'd rather vote for a drug dealer or prostitute than to re-elect a one of the current legislature. A complete clean slate of rank amateurs would be better. And yes, that would include the Governator as well, if he can't find the gumption to lock them in their chambers, under armed guard and without bathroom privileges until a budget is passed AND signed by his worship. Fuck 'em all - California Republicans are a dogmatic White People's Partei and the Dems are an equally dogmatic clique of Berkeleyites on blotter acid. People like us, who just want to raise our families, own homes, and send our kids to college are flat out ignored. Disclaimer: My apologies to the cocksuckers of the world, be they male or female. We should be grateful to them all for one of life's simple pleasures. Your humble servant.....Professor Gravity !

He's not a messiah, not mine anyway. He is my President - and yours. Even though I (correctly) predicted an Obama victory, I also made up my mind that John McCain would be a President I could live with, no matter how disappointed I might feel if he'd won. Our country and our economy are in such sorry shape that I'd have given him a chance. Even McCain has said he wants to see Obama succeed. so what's YOUR fuckin' problem ? Your humble servant.....Professor Gravity !

Speedracer and crwtom: good work men, tomorrow's the big numero uno day, followed by numero zero and the retirement of this thread. Let's keep it coming with all of our very best. This has been a LONG 630 days ! Your humble servant.....Professor Gravity !

TWO. And a wake up. TWO !! And good morning to you all.... Your humble servant.....Professor Gravity !

THREE !! Your humble servant.....Professor Gravity !

I'm disappointed with the appallingly low participation in the election. The number of members who actually voted was just pathetic, regardless of what they thought about the "Old Guard" or the "Red Bull Kids". Personally, I voted for some of the RBK's, they do represent the latest and freshest ideas and the direction the sport WILL go sooner or later. I'm really sorry Krisanne lost, she really has a lot to offer and I'd like to encourage her to keep trying in another two years. Maybe by then her jump numbers will be high enough to impress the people who care about that sort of thing. I'm sorry to see Jan Meyer go as well. I voted for her myself and I find it ironic that after her attempted impeachment ignited so much of last year's controversy that she'd be turned out by such a small voting minority among the membership. All of this is what happens when people are content to sit on their laurels and not vote. Your humble servant.....Professor Gravity !

FOUR !! Sorry I missed the farewell speech, but "Two and a Half Men" was on another channel (so waterboard me...). Your humble servant.....Professor Gravity !

Yeah, but except for a few assholes who can bag any woman they want with a wink and a nod, the rest of us have to work so much harder just to get IN the sack. So when we get there, we're just lovin' it and if the women think we're not as good as their last seven bf's, then that's their problemo. Your humble servant.....Professor Gravity !

Met my wife of nearly 28 years at PERRIS VALLEY SKYDIVING, the dropzone that serves ALL your needs !! Your humble servant.....Professor Gravity !

Yeah, he's a bum. Welcome to the wonderful world of housemates. The big question IS - how does your OTHER housemate feel about him and his inexcusable behavior ? If he feels the same way, then throw the bum out and start looking for somebody else to move in, or just go it with the two of you. But if the other guy just hums and haws and doesn't want to hurt Bum-Boy's feelings, it's time for YOU to start looking for new digs. That's just the politics of the situation, without the other roomie's support, you can't win. You're not going to stay in the place forever anyway and all young singles have to survive a shitty room or housemate or two. It's part of the learning curve of life. Good luck. (And in the meantime, try leaving some Ex-Lax brownies lying around - they really work !) Your humble servant.....Professor Gravity !

Always an honest and refreshing opinion. My dick and I both thank you.... Your humble servant.....Professor Gravity !
