  3. They weren't really fancy places or anything (I couldn't tell you the names off hand) but it happened to me once in Chicago, and once in South Beach. I was surprised, when they told me I stared at them blankly for a second as though they had just told me they didn't accept cash.
  4. something along the lines of the attatched would be funny to ride out of a tail gate.

    Cd RW?

    Why stop there? they come in spindles of 50 or a 100. but on a more serious note. I'm guessing you wrote the cds as you would a normal cdr (disc and once, finalize disc, etc) but as was mentioned you can still erase the disc using a program like Nero as shown below...
  6. hmm, how much does it cost to outfit a packing area sized space with wrestling mats (either new or in decent condition? And, perhaps more importantly, how long before people walking on them with street shoes before they start getting torn up pretty badly?
  7. Find a McDonald's playland. Just as good.
  8. Ahem... Are you suggesting that grippers aren't the coolest part of a suit? I think of "freeflying" as a discipline. There is a lot to learn in any discipline of skydiving. You shouldn't pick nits about what you call someone based on what stage of the learning process they're in.
  9. you should try selling cell phones by the sea shore
  10. you don't have to be good with math to be an engineer, you just have to be good with differential equations. I'm going to work on military satellites when I graduate which will be fun, but if I could pick anything I'd design/install smarthome and high-end home theatre systems
  11. it took me a little over 5 minutes, the first minute of that was me trying to make invalid first moves and watching the people whack each other until I "figured out" what the rules were. I'm clever, but reading was never my strong suit.
  12. nautical miles? (~6076ft) IIRC it comes from the arc length of one minute of longitude, whereas a statue mile (5280ft) originally came from "1000 paces" or something asinine like that.
  13. Right now I have an Amex Blue and I'm thinking about getting a Blue Cash to replace it. The main card I use is that Citibank Dividend card which is, as you said, nothing special. Twice I've taken people out to dinner where the place only took Amex. It's rare, but I like having an Amex and a Mastercard to cover the bases.
  14. http://www.citibank.com/us/cards/cardserv/divplat/index.htm this card meets your minimum requirements, the only thing I can think of off the top of my head that has a really good rewards program is Blue Cash, but you mentioned you didn't want Amex
  15. That wasn't meant to be serious. I was attempting to humorously express that the changes I've felt and gone through in the past four years have had little or nothing to do with the president of the United States. I was also making light of the above assumptions that being a skydiver would necessarily affiliate you with a political party.
  16. I'm going to be honest, I only got through "Am I the only..." and then I got bored, but I figured I'd reply to your post anyway.
  17. "Skydiving is neat." -George W. Bush "Skydiving is crazy and should be outlawed." -Unknown (presumably a democrat) I think it's pretty obvious what needs to be done in November.
  18. I put yes but only financially. When I graduate I'm going to work for a defense contractor. It's been my (cynical) opinion for a while that people don't vote to have their candidate win, but rather they vote so that when their candidate loses they can blame everything from the economy to the weather on the other chump.
  19. I have a rare medical disorder that prevents me from tasting crap beer...
  20. I was thinking the same thing. "excuse me ma'am, it says here on your license you have a class V restriction which means you must have a picture of the person you killed on you at all times, can you produce that for me?"
  21. Meeting Olav was pretty cool. I just feel like a dork because I recognized his rig hanging up on the wall before I noticed he was there. As for skydiving on the brain... During a phone interview for a job in LA (which I've since gotten and am taking, woohoo!) I asked the person if she knew how long it took to get to Perris
  22. in the words of Lewis Black, "People always wondered if there were too many Starbucks... now we know."
  23. I have a rare medical disorder that prevents me from feeling wind...
  24. Well I'm certainly glad to hear the trinket industry is doing so well over there. Of course, since 9/11 I don't think there's anything you can't buy with a US Flag on it.
