  1. Was watching IHistory channel yesterday. The French are making cars that run on AIR. Cool as shit. Goes up to 70 mph. 7K to 25K, depends on size and 4 cyl. or 6). Hybrids too. A couple gallons of gas runs the compressor when you run out of compressed air. 0 emission.

  2. WTF is wrong w/ this picture? http://www.bloomberg.com/apps/news?pid=20601087&sid=ahE8xVisWsbE&refer=worldwide vs. this picture http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20071119/ap_on_re_us/food_pantries_shortage_2 Sad I hold it true, whate'er befall; I feel it, when I sorrow most; 'Tis better to have loved and lost Than never to have loved at all.
  3. Actually I kinda like this guy.>http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Joe_Arpaio I took a little drive thru Az. awhile back. I went thru his turf and damn sure minded my P's and Q's. I don't think pink underwear would be becoming on a 50 yr. old man. Maybe if I was in San Fran.

  6. Hmmm uhhhh well then light it up Oops - fixed that. But that would certainly relax me right now! Just make sure you don't jump today or hungover tommorrow from that nasty illegal stuff. You should in jail don't ya know. I hold it true, whate'er befall; I feel it, when I sorrow most; 'Tis better to have loved and lost Than never to have loved at all.
  7. Good. Maybe books will get cheaper for us old folks. Actually SAD I hold it true, whate'er befall; I feel it, when I sorrow most; 'Tis better to have loved and lost Than never to have loved at all.
  8. I will say the one time I smoked pot before a jump I pulled SLOOOWWWW. LOL. Never again. On the flip side. I have partied w/ the best in this sport. 10,000 plus jumps. Alcohol. I'll say it again. MODERATION I hold it true, whate'er befall; I feel it, when I sorrow most; 'Tis better to have loved and lost Than never to have loved at all.

  10. Interesting. Darius has been a U.S. citizen for only 2.5 years and he seems to understand the Constitution and the difference between patriotism and politics better than you do. I've been a citizen of this country for 50 yrs. I kinda (did) like you. After your fall something must have REALLY got messed up in your head. Have you ever served? I did. Don't tell me what I know and don't. YOU ARE ANOTHER SHEEP. Follow your BRAVE leader to the grave my friend.

  11. Na. Gotta keep all those potheads, drunk drivers and wife beaters here in private prisons in the USA. Big Bucks for private Corps. Don't ya know?Edit to add: last time I checked the jails (in Florida anyway) were getting a $100 a day per inmate. Correctins is BIG BUSINESS when you factor in the saleries. Judges, lawyers, co's, cops, court clerks, etc, etc. Actually it was the 2nd biggest business in central Florida after tourism last time I checked.

  12. Delta wouln't last ime I tried to fly an animal. Had to carry on. It was a small cat. (kitten) I hold it true, whate'er befall; I feel it, when I sorrow most; 'Tis better to have loved and lost Than never to have loved at all.
  13. I agree with you on the most part about teaching the younger hunters conservationism/preservationism and a continuation of this sport.I dont know about your class,but mine was 10hrs long and the info given could have been given easily in less time b/c its mostly common sense,responsibility and judgement.Plus the instructor skipped ALOT of the material and "taught for the test" rather than to produce responsible,capable and safe hunters. My instructor skipped around alot and basically just told us what would be on the test and didnt teach anything but that,which,the publications given to us covered MUCH more.There were questions on the test from chapters he didnt even cover but I knew them b/c I did my homework and did the practice test and read the material. I wish I'd had a better instructor.Mine liked to brag that hes had over 1000 students and has never failed one.The Instructor's incentives(b/c they are volunteers) are based on numbers of passed students and they receive knives,belt buckles and such for milestone marks in the teaching career,500,1000 etc..He bragged that he was 300 students shy of a free gun from S&W.That raises a flag to me saying hes too lenient and passes everyone rather than fail someone who might have needed it IMHO. So I guess,its not so much that I think the whole course idea is a waste of time,just my particular experience was.I hope there are better instructors out there than mine atleast. Same w/ my CCW class in Florida crammed a 8 hr. class into 2 hrs. Handed weapons to people on the range that hadn't a clue of what they were doing. Scary. All about the GAD.

  14. Yep. She is very picky in regards to whom she acknowledges as being a military servicemember. Never mind if a NG-reserve soldier/sailor is actually a war veteran, much les her hatred for GW would not allow her to see that he actually served in the military, making her comments without merit. He served all right. AWOL I hold it true, whate'er befall; I feel it, when I sorrow most; 'Tis better to have loved and lost Than never to have loved at all.
  15. Actually tho I hate Bush 2 I have some respect for Bush one. He did what he had to do and GOT OUT. No need to destabilize the region further. Plus he skydives. (even if he is a tandem pussy) I hold it true, whate'er befall; I feel it, when I sorrow most; 'Tis better to have loved and lost Than never to have loved at all.
  16. I agree. You signed on the dotted line for whatever reasons. Honor your obligation. Read the fine print before you do tho. I made sure I had an ironclad contract when I joined in 77. The only part that bothers me is THIS>http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stop-loss_policy I hold it true, whate'er befall; I feel it, when I sorrow most; 'Tis better to have loved and lost Than never to have loved at all.
  17. This is too cool. Sent to me from a friend>http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1JiJzqXxgxo&mode=related&search I hold it true, whate'er befall; I feel it, when I sorrow most; 'Tis better to have loved and lost Than never to have loved at all.
  18. I didnt realize you could do that with pot. With crack, heroin, alcohol, cocaine I can see that, but how with pot? Yes, you can ruin your life with pot, just like with alcohol, etc. In excess. Moderation my friends. You'll be OK. I hold it true, whate'er befall; I feel it, when I sorrow most; 'Tis better to have loved and lost Than never to have loved at all.
  19. I've never smoked pot. For two reasons: 1) it is illegal, and I've got a future to look out for, and the risks just aren't worth the benefits; and 2) I'm a naturally addictive personality, and thus I believe that I AM the person who would simply like it too much. I see no use taking that risk. However, I believe that they should be legalized as a principle, because even though I choose not to ruin my life, others should be able to fuck themselves up if they like. You live in Ca. It's a ticket. Ya gotta try LSD at least one time too. Definitely will expand your thinking. Make sure you get the good shit for the first ride.

  20. I did that twice myself to see what it would be like, and once you get ou of the plain, the high goes awy, but the paranoia doesnt. Never did it again either. I wouldnt even jump hung over. Not fun that way. I can tell you from experience. Last time I jumped hungover I got a broken femur. Wasn't all from being hungover tho. First load, 50 knot uppers, bad spot, line twists etc.Was a bad day for sure.

  21. Nice pics. Steal em from Hightimes? If not what's your location. Marin Co. Ca.? Growhouse in Canada? I might take a swat for old times sake. P.S. I smoked a joint before my 2nd AFF jump and passed. Never again. Was paranoid like a motherfucker.Hey Josh. Ya never knew.

  22. Was it her FIRST time. Com'n. Tell the story. Oh shit. Beer. That about the only drug I do anymore. Think I'll have one.
  23. " An estimated 100 million Americans have smoked marijuana at least once, the great majority, abandoning its use after a few highs." >Hell. I even smoked a joint w/ my dad once. A full bird Col. in the USAF. Best Thai stick I could find. He was wasted. Funny as hell. Did he go rob somebody? Na. He ate a whole jar of peanut butter and jelly and went to bed. Funny thing. Next day he said he didn't feel a thing.(from smoking it) He was toast. It was hilarious.

  24. Firstly, you've completely overlooked the context of my statement. Second, bullshit. Democracy is better than a dictatorship, and Saudi Arabia isn't even a good advert for dictatorship. I think the word you're looking for is monarchy. I hold it true, whate'er befall; I feel it, when I sorrow most; 'Tis better to have loved and lost Than never to have loved at all.
  25. Here's another nice little read for ya. http://www.sourcewatch.org/index.php?title=Cheney's_Energy_Task_ForceRead it in its entirety now. I hold it true, whate'er befall; I feel it, when I sorrow most; 'Tis better to have loved and lost Than never to have loved at all.
