McDuck

Goodness! That is such an accurate description of that character. I remember reading that about 10-12 years ago and I utterly loathed that character after what he did to that poor girl. It gave me pause, reading that book, as to how much effort I do or do not put into positive interactions with others in the course of any given day. But I hated the Covenant character, which I know was the desired reaction. Heck, I'll have to go back and re-read these also.

When I was in the AF, I used to hear guys talk about "dorm refrigerators" in reference to certain visitors. When I asked why these human visitors were called that, I was told that it was because "everyone sticks their meat in that." Not very classy or tactful, but apparently quite accurate. Anyone have this phenomenon at their DZ? Edited for further clarity.

I know I'm missing one of the main points, but my point is one that seems to have been neglected: Why did the co-worker get all bent at YOU? YOU didn't say it would be ready then, did you? Unless you were waving a crusted dildo in his face while you spoke with him, I can't see much reason for him to scream at you. As for the "giving his word", he may have just been unable to properly articulate what was raging in his head. I never assume that because someone TELLS me something will be ready at a certain time that it will be, but I do check and get irate if it isn't. I can't see raging at someone not directly involved, however.

Nobody here, or anywhere else, can tell you what to do or how to do it. Deep down inside, you know what you should do. It's just in the doing that it all becomes difficult.

Glad you liked it, my friend. It's been hibernating on my computer since before you left. I just thought it would be a welcome addition to the current photo lineup there and help to spread awareness of chronic back-acne...of people not in that photo, I mean.

Okay, since you posted that first pic here, I'm going to jack this thread for a moment to accomplish two tasks, and you can guess at what those might be. Did you see the pic I posted on sonicbeef.com of the three of us, #2? You should go to sonicbeef.com and check out that picture of the three of us. It's a great pic of three SONIC BEEF founding members, but it's currently only available at your website, sonicbeef.com.

It means that I only know enough French to make native French speaking people laugh and/or roll their eyes. You should have seen me on the TGV trying to be as low key as possible as I ordered two bottles of Vittel. And again as I tried to ask for two Metro tickets from the TGV station in Paris to Abesses. Hey, at least I tried.

You don't have to identify that it's temporary, unless you're looking for a better deal. You're officially SONIC BEEF now, we've just postponed your initiation. I'm guessing that you might want to get TWO hats: one for your local area, and one for those of us with only a smattering of French at our command.

I hate not being able to read people's minds, not being able to teleport instantly to any location and not being able to be invisible at will so I can make public speakers go insane from my meddling. But I'm guessing you're looking for more realistic needs, like sanitizing public toilets on the off-chance that I can't hold it long enough to make it to bacteria-free environs.

Hmm. I do believe that all of my break ups have been clean...as much as they can be when two people who spend significant time, energy and emotion getting used to each other's presence wind up splitting. Then again, I've moved around quite a bit and do my best to stay low on the ol' "ex-radar".

Yeah, but if they truly "party like rock stars" then there's no telling what kind of "biological surprises" might be waiting to divide and conquer.

Glad you clarified that a bit at the end, but I'm still of the same mind as several others here. I had a Chow Chow that I raised from a tiny pup. As many people are aware, Chows are one person/one family dogs and are VERY protective. I raised her to be sweet, accepting and friendly, and it took plenty of time and effort. However, the first time I brought a kitten home, it took many more days of constant attention and effort to get her to accept that this new addition was not a target. The girlfriend should have 1) not introduced a kitten into that environment against her boyfriend's wishes, 2) waited until he could be there to control the dog, considering the cosmos were obviously going to implode if she didn't get the kitten, 3) stayed with them both until it was apparent the dog would not go Hellraiser on the kitten at a moment's notice. Poor planning and bad judgement. You know, sometimes when we ask you not to buy/do/say something, it's not about control.

Okay then, you are hereby given the temporary name of "Fishy Beef" and are vested with all the rights and stench of regular BEEF members until you fulfill the requirements of jumping with and partying with a member. Hopefully it will be me, as we are trying to find a way to go back for a skydiving-only visit, but any member can initiate you. I guess I'll have to get a picture posted of the hats so that everyone knows what to get embroidered and how. For now, go forth and spread the BEEF, young "Fishy Beef".

Well my friend, here's the list of current rules, subject to change at the whims of the 5 founding members. #1 Jump with a member of Sonic Beef. #2 Party with a member of Sonic Beef. #3 Recieve your name and number from the member you are with. #4 Purchase your own Sonic Beef hat you cheap bastards. #5 Always be willing to help a Sonic Beef in need of a good jump , or drinking buddy, or?. #6 Any Sonic Beef member can name another. Since I JUST missed you at Gruyeres and wasn't able to meet you at Bottens, perhaps I can confer with the other founding members and get you your own charter to start spreading the BEEF to all of our friends in Europe, or at least postpone for you the requirements to jump and party with one of us. And if a duck and beef can go together, I can't see why fish and beef can't. Okay, I'd like to welcome "Flaming Beef" to the roster. To forestall questions as to his "orientation" he was given his name for his fantastic fireworks displays. Also, "Slack Beef" has joined us in a rather lackadasical manner. Go get your hats, chumpsters.

I won't be at Bridge Day, but most of our DZ's BASE jumpers will be there. I'm sure there will be at least SOME time to get together and discuss what went on at our meeting, as well as any other concerns from those who weren't able to attend. If anyone is interested, I have a bit more detailed account of what we discussed, but I'll leave out names if I haven't met you personally. I can either post it here or send it in PMs. Let me know what the preferred method is and I'll do my best to comply. I'll be manning the manifest office at our DZ during Bridge Day, so anyone not heading off to WV is more than welcome to stop by and keep me company.

Okay, founding member consensus is that this isn't spreading fast enough for our tastes. This is a call to all current SONIC BEEF members to get your asses in gear and recruit recruit RECRUIT! If you have been named already and don't have your hat...WHAT THE HECK ARE YOU WAITING FOR?? Sir The Beef, could you please post a webcam pic of your hat to let current hatless members know what they are looking for? I'd do it, but my camera broke after taking several pictures of my own ass. I'd also like to take this time to recognize some of our newest members: Hairy Beef, McBeef and Beef Bomb (Mondo). Membership awaits. Contact your local SONIC BEEF members to fulfill your membership requirements and get your name.

*BUMP* Due to allegations that I tend to be overly verbose here (actual term was "verbal diarrhea"), here are some relatively short bullets for your perusal: - Had local BASE meeting - Everyone had a say - Everyone seemed to be on the same page - Parameters were set for current (new) BASE jumpers, so that when we deviate and are ostracized, we will know why - Safety and common sense (as much as BASE jumpers can have) were key issues, as well as following your mentor's advice to the letter and seeking advice from other mentors if you find fault in your current mentor's wisdom I'll leave it at that for now. Questions about the meeting can be addressed here or in PMs, at everyone's leisure. Hopefully my verbal stool hardener worked this time.

Did you check for golden eggs after that pic? I can't tell you how many "nice" photos of myself and friends have been "altered" by a hairy hanger.

Sounds like you might be a good candidate for the SONIC BEEF skydiving gang. If you're ever in our area (NC), or happen to jump with an existing member, just ask them to name you and then go get your hat. Clicky Rules!

As with most people with hazel eyes, mine change color regularly. They range from a pale tan to a deep, dark green. Since I don't have an olfactory sense to speak of, the eyes sort of make up for it.

That whole muscle memory exercise really works. I've done any number of variations of those exercises at work, from siting in my office chair the way I would in sitfly and maintaining a steady even pressure on my legs, to the exercise you just mentioned. It really helps, and the more often you do these things when you aren't in the air, the more your body will remember when you fly it in the air. Just be sure to get good body position while practicing on the ground, or you'll wind up doing yourself more harm than good. Having an experienced freeflyer jump with you and fly video from a safe distance can really help you see where you need to improve. It helped me immensely.
