  1. When I'm extremely hungover I'm very subdued. Stupidity if left untreated is self-correcting If ya can't be good, look good, if that fails, make 'em laugh.
  2. Exactly. We all have different desires and most if not all cut expenses some places for extra money for what they like most after essentials. For me it's traveling and doing stuff. I drive older vehicles, have a modest house in a safe but cheap area, jump older non gear, don't go out much, etc.
  3. Be interesting to see what happens to Greece next as an indicator of our possible future. Stupidity if left untreated is self-correcting If ya can't be good, look good, if that fails, make 'em laugh.
  4. Those gum machines generally don't give your quarter back. Stupidity if left untreated is self-correcting If ya can't be good, look good, if that fails, make 'em laugh.
  5. Jerry Seinfeld Stupidity if left untreated is self-correcting If ya can't be good, look good, if that fails, make 'em laugh.
  6. I remember jumping with Chris at WFFC in Rantoul. He wore webbed gloves when wingsuiting for just a little more wing.
  7. And one could argue when one has limited funds they concentrate their effort in the areas where they can deter the most crime. It's basic triage. If you have 5 people with broken legs in the ER and then a multiple gunshot wound victim comes in, they are going to treat that person first, regardless if sex, color, income, social status, etc.
  8. IN PRISON... You dream of getting out from behind bars. AT WORK... You dream of getting out to bars. Stupidity if left untreated is self-correcting If ya can't be good, look good, if that fails, make 'em laugh.
  9. I actually have. I just have a very broad definition of cool. And he had his pants up at the time. That helped. When we met I was wearing more clothes and more sober than you. In retrospect, I think you are the only person I have ever heard of who has been asked to put on clothing in the bar at Lost Prairie We all know whuffos don't count. Stupidity if left untreated is self-correcting If ya can't be good, look good, if that fails, make 'em laugh.
  10. Bill you know very well anything done to a white person in the name of equality is not racism. DD, do we just grab random white people off the street and imprison them or just increase the sentences for whites convicted of a crime? "Well, Mr. Smith, posession of marijuana in that quantity is usually a misdemeanor, but since you're white, it's now a felony with a mandatory life sentence as we need to increase the white percentages in prison."

  12. Not just you. One arm in full flight, the other sorta waving. Behind him were lots of clouds to surf.
  13. Pete was released to the sky Sunday under canopy. The winds were crazy all day but settled down right before sunset. This pic was right before his load took off. After everybody landed. The winds shifted 180. Pete just wanted to fly by one more time.
  14. You want to get rid of her or make her pull her share? Suggest to your manager that she be put in charge of a project. Stupidity if left untreated is self-correcting If ya can't be good, look good, if that fails, make 'em laugh.
  15. Superbad? http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0148418/ Stupidity if left untreated is self-correcting If ya can't be good, look good, if that fails, make 'em laugh.
  16. If a company can do that by legal means, without gov't assistance, these days I say more power to them. Standard Oil, even without gov't regulations would never be as powerful today. Besides, these days, big companies really don't compete much with each other, they sorta just divide and conquer. One of the reasons we're in the situation we are with all of these big companies is the gov't has bailed them out repeatedly. They've learned they can do incredibly risky stuff to try and make more money and even if it pays off, just look like they are broke and the gov't gives them more.

  17. But there still needs to be some consequence. "I told you not to play in the street. You're grounded." vs. "I told you not to play in the street. Don't do it again." over and over... Stupidity if left untreated is self-correcting If ya can't be good, look good, if that fails, make 'em laugh.
  18. In a purely capitalist system we'd have never got this far as there'd be no such thing as "too big to fail." Stupidity if left untreated is self-correcting If ya can't be good, look good, if that fails, make 'em laugh.
  19. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hLc8RIdRzio Norm McDonald is awesome in this... Stupidity if left untreated is self-correcting If ya can't be good, look good, if that fails, make 'em laugh.
  20. Sure. If you want to be a pussy. Stupidity if left untreated is self-correcting If ya can't be good, look good, if that fails, make 'em laugh.
  21. A better analogy: The kid acts up, the parents looks the other way. The kid gets in trouble, the parents bail them out again and again. The kid learns there is no negative consequence to their actions so they do more and more dangerous and wrong things. The parents keep cleaning it up. It's not a freedom thing, it's an accountability thing. Stupidity if left untreated is self-correcting If ya can't be good, look good, if that fails, make 'em laugh.
  22. Great spelling... Stupidity if left untreated is self-correcting If ya can't be good, look good, if that fails, make 'em laugh.

  25. Don't agree, those people had other options than the investments they made. There are no guarantees. Also unless the money is in stock in a company that goes bankrupt or people sell what stocks/funds they had when the market is down, the money isn't really "lost."
