Haha, I thought it was a horrible pic. All twisted to around to the side and such...thanks though. And yes, Mike's a pimp. He was with this extremely hot blonde...you can see her in the pic. I wish I was an NFL player. -Kramer The FAKE KRAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAMER!!!!!!!!!

Dang...that almost hurts my eyes to look at. Pimp suit. -Kramer The FAKE KRAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAMER!!!!!!!!!

This thread's depressing. One of the things I was actually looking forward to way down the road, once I finally have a few hundred jumps under my belt, was becoming a TM. -Kramer The FAKE KRAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAMER!!!!!!!!!

You're being a tard about the whole thing. jk. I am making my first pilgrimage to a new DZ in a couple weeks. I was a bit nervous about it, but I emailed the DZ, and got a nice letter back from the DZO that really put my mind at ease. You might try emailing the DZ you want to jump at, and just explain your little situation, and ask them if they think it would be alright for you to jump there. I'm sure their response will have you on the road halfway to their DZ. Good luck. -Kramer The FAKE KRAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAMER!!!!!!!!!

The Cleveland Steamer was always one that I found humorous. As far as a legitemate answer to your question...I fear at the tender age of 19, I haven't a story to tell...yet. -Kramer The FAKE KRAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAMER!!!!!!!!!

You should make a donation in their name to a charity that does not exist. Just type out a little piece of paper saying "There has been a $20 donation made in your name to the 'Human Fund'---The Human Fund-Money, for Humans". Give 'er a shot. -Kramer The FAKE KRAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAMER!!!!!!!!!

Oh it's growin out. I daren't post a picture of the hair on here until after the Kramer contest. The element of surprise is my biggest ally. Ladies, Vanderjact was all dressed like a thug. Those jeans he was wearing, if you look closely, they have patches of all the NBA Team's logos on them. Plus that dew rag he had on....it was pretty humorous. I saw a bunch of people asking for his autograph, so I had to ask some guy who he was, 'cause I couldn't even recognize him with all that garb on. -Kramer The FAKE KRAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAMER!!!!!!!!!

I went to the Pacers-Cavs game tonight. 15th row. Lebron James. It was sweet. He went off for 27 points, including three amazing dunks, and some sweet assists. He high-fived me as he ran out of the tunnel both before and after the game. I got some shots of him coming out during halftime. (My digital camera sucks...sorry). I also got a pic with Colts kicker Mike Vanderjact. Twas a good evening. -Kramer The FAKE KRAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAMER!!!!!!!!!

Reginald, awesome job fixing the problem that arose. You're handling things well. I did a backflip (unintentionally) on my first hop and pop, and pulled on my back...felt the pilot chute go between my legs. ....scary stuff. Nice attitude wanting to get back on the horse, you'll thank yourself someday for that. -Kramer The FAKE KRAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAMER!!!!!!!!!

10:00 EST tonight, I will be raising my glass. God bless America. -Kramer The FAKE KRAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAMER!!!!!!!!!

You just made my day. -Kramer The FAKE KRAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAMER!!!!!!!!!

I've never-never jumped a 182. (In other words, all I have ever jumped from is a 182)....soon, the Otters at ZHills... -Kramer The FAKE KRAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAMER!!!!!!!!!

My dream goal is to be the first person to land a wingsuit. I'm several years away from that happening though, so I hope someone beats me to it. Flying a wingsuit by itself is a big goal of mine. You have to have 500 jumps to do so, so if I ever got to jump one, then that'd mean I've come really far in the sport. -Kramer The FAKE KRAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAMER!!!!!!!!!

We have a thread to discuss the capture itself, so I started a new thread for this topic. What would you like to see done to/with Saddam? I personally love the idea of letting the Iraqi people put him on trial. I hope they convict him, and have a fast, swift public execution. Somewhere in there, I think it would be awesome if we brought him over to the US for a day or two to visit the White House, and meet President Bush. That would make for some memorable news footage. Your thoughts? -Kramer The FAKE KRAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAMER!!!!!!!!!

I've since edited the post. -Kramer The FAKE KRAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAMER!!!!!!!!!

Damnit Ivan...damn you. -Kramer The FAKE KRAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAMER!!!!!!!!!

I realize no one cares...but hey, we have a thread for everything, why not a thread for this? >>OSLO, Norway - For kids, Keiko the killer whale was the charming hero of "Free Willy." For biologists, he was the focus of fierce debate on whether captive animals could be returned to the wild. Keiko, who died of pneumonia this week, never strayed far from humans, keeping company with them in a Norwegian fjord to the end. Keiko's apparent love of human company — and his popularity — frustrated handlers' dreams that he would one day leave them in search of food on his own. Millions of dollars were spent trying to teach him to survive, but he didn't bond with other whales, apparently feared swimming under ice and died less than two years after he was freed. "He spoke the language (of whales) but he just seemed to be confused," said Jeff Foster, whose Seattle-based group, Marine Research Consultants, oversaw Keiko's care in Iceland for three years before he was released in 2002. Keiko's handlers noticed on Thursday he had become listless, and the six-ton orca died Friday afternoon despite veterinarians' efforts to save him. "It was pretty sudden," his animal care specialist, Dane Richards, told The Associated Press. He said Keiko's handlers went out to check on him during a late afternoon blizzard and he was still alive. Two hours later, he had died. Keiko, which means "Lucky One" in Japanese, was born in 1977 or 1978 off Iceland, and was caught for the aquarium industry in 1979. Known for his distinctive, droopy dorsal fin, he gained fame as the star of the 1993 film "Free Willy," in which a boy befriends a captive killer whale and coaxes him to jump over a sea park wall to freedom. Two sequels featured animatronic models, film of wild orcas and leftover footage of Keiko, according to the president of the Oregon aquarium where he lived from 1996-1998. The fame Keiko gained from the movies led to a $20 million drive to free him in real life after it was found he was languishing in poor conditions in a Mexico City amusement park. He was brought to the Oregon Coast Aquarium in 1996, and two years later was flown to Iceland. Once there, handlers taught him to catch his own fish and interact with wild orca. He was finally released in mid-2002. David Phillips, executive director of the San Francisco-based Free Willy-Keiko Foundation, said Keiko's plight changed public perception of whether a whale could be returned to the wild. "We took the hardest candidate and took him from near death in Mexico to swimming with wild whales in Norway," he said. "Keiko proved a lot of naysayers wrong and that this can work and that is a very powerful thing." But after 25 years in captivity, Keiko appeared to prefer human companionship. He swam straight for Norway on a 870-mile trek and settled in near a small village of Halsa on Norway's west coast in August or September 2002. Once there, he became so listless that his team started feeding him up to 175 pounds of fish per day, and Keiko got handouts until the day he died. The friendly, 25-foot whale swam up to small boats, and seemed to welcome people to swim with him and even crawl up on his back. Keiko became so popular that authorities banned people from approaching him and toured schools asking people to stay away. The popularity made training a struggle for his keepers, who had been trying to keep fans away in the hope that Keiko, feeling a need to socialize, would seek out wild killer whales. But people still came to see him, and Keiko seemed to like it. "He was like the family dog; he wanted to be next to you," said Mark Collson, a board member for the Oregon Coast Aquarium. In December 2002, Keiko's caretakers led him to Taknes Bay, a clear, calm pocket of coastal water deep enough that it doesn't freeze in winter. The bay is along orca migration routes and is more remote — something his handlers hoped would force Keiko to seek out his own kind. Keepers fed him there, but he was free to roam, and often did at night. In February, he swam under ice for the first time, apparently panicked and hurt himself trying to break through. Orcas live an average of 35 years in the wild, and it wasn't clear how much Keiko's time in captivity — or his reintroduction to the outside world — contributed to his death. Nick Braden, a spokesman of the Humane Society of the United States, said veterinarians gave Keiko antibiotics after he showed signs of lethargy, but it wasn't apparent how sick he was. "They really do die quickly and there was nothing we could do," he said. "It's a really sad moment for us, but we do believe we gave him a chance to be in the wild." Foster said the orca's handlers in Norway might not have detected early signs of illness, but it would have been hard to prevent his rapid slide. "I think he was just getting older," Foster said. "Even a subtle change can be devastating to one of these animals ... once they get pneumonia or one of these viral diseases that are out there, they can go down pretty fast," he said. After Keiko died, his keepers covered him with a tarp in the water, awaiting word on what to do next. Officials from the Free Willy-Keiko Foundation said they hoped for a land burial rather than disposal at sea. "He has a nice resting place here, and went the way I would want to go," said Richards. "But you hate to see it."

It is not just you. I too would be interested in helping the site out if it needs mirrors or anything of the like, just PM me Dave. -Kramer The FAKE KRAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAMER!!!!!!!!!

Awesome job troops. This was amazing news to wake up to. I do appreciate Quade being bi-partisan in this thread by the way...my respect grows for thee. -Kramer The FAKE KRAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAMER!!!!!!!!!

Home: my.yahoo.com Frequent: nubblies.net I probably spend most of my time on this site, though. -Kramer The FAKE KRAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAMER!!!!!!!!!

Could you email me one too? Thanks a bunch...phenomenal picture. -Kramer The FAKE KRAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAMER!!!!!!!!!

ROTFLMFAO God that was hilarious. Nice one goose. -Kramer The FAKE KRAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAMER!!!!!!!!!

I'm really not too sure to be honest with you. I think someone posted it on here once, I use it as my wallpaper now. Nice swoop pic. -Kramer The FAKE KRAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAMER!!!!!!!!!

WOW! That's freaking awesome...I never really thought of being asked for your autograph just because you skydive. That would be a very special feeling for a kid to ask for your autograph... I do stand-up comedy on occasion. Once after a set, I had this guy come up and ask for my autograph, he told me that he thinks I'll be famous someday. Although I highly disagree, it still made my night. Anyone else here been asked for an autograph? -Kramer The FAKE KRAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAMER!!!!!!!!!
