  1. sorry kiddo... I'm afraid I'm taking his side on this one. BACON FOR ALL! Elvisio "damn, now I got a craving for IHOP" Rodriguez
  2. I dunno... I don't think mint chocolate ice cream and bacon would be TOO bad...maybe in a waffle cone or something like that. Peanut butter and bacon? CRUNCHY peanut butter and bacon? Yeah! Elvisio "so many possible combinations" Rodriguez
  3. Good to see you made it! Congrats, dude! As you head down the road into your skydiving career, make careful note of the following equations: COWS = good FENCES = bad And the rest will all fall into place! Elvisio "the Orangeheads call me Ike" Rodriguez
  4. Got a couple buddies that usedta jump at Mohawk Valley. They really liked it, good small DZ vibe. Good bunch of Rodriguez Brothers up there too, so if you haven't been initiated yet... Elvisio "too cold up there for me" Rodriguez
  5. I don't even mind a love mark or two, as long as it's in a place that can be easily concealed... Elvisio "some things are better bit than others" Rodriguez
  6. 8/12... not bad considering that I don't usually evaluate boobies on real vs. fake criteria... all I care about is if there's enough for me to squeeze my face between them and go wubbita-wubbita-wubbita-wubbita! Elvisio "don't listen to them, chicks actually dig it when you do that" Rodriguez
  7. I approve wholeheartedly. My gf thinks were all a bunch of sick twists. I agree. Elvisio "missles were the best" Rodriguez
  8. I've been a Vans man ever since airwalks got scarce. Where do you get your Arirwalks? I can't find them ANYWHERE anymore, other than online. Online shoe buying gives me the heebiejeebies because I'm one of those "sometimes I'm an 11, sometimes I'm a 12" kinda people... Elvisio "that's on a scale of 1-10" Rodriguez
  9. Oops, I was thinking of average vertical velocity , I always get second derivatives and first derivatives confused with each other Ahh... the combination of these two posts reminds me how damn HAPPY I am to be done with engineering forever... Elvisio "ridin' in the gut wagon now" Rodriguez ~Droid
  10. :9:1 Nine tandems today, and one PHAT training burn with my volunteer fire department on saturday! It was my first structure fire entry, even if we did set it ourselves. Truly badass! Elvisio "three showers later and I still smell like smoke" Rodriguez
  11. s'ok. Be prepared for shrinkage issues. I don't care if you're John Holmes, be prepared for shrinkage issues. Being a little bit nervous PLUS 120mph breeze on parts of your body that don't normally feel ANY breeze EQUALS Button on a fur coat. Elvisio "in my case, a tic-tac on a fur coat" Rodriguez
  12. the quarter will be able to provide numerous concoctions that will assist with pain relief. By the end of the evening, you should be dancing back to the hotel! Elvisio "rue who" Rodriguez
  13. Honestly, I think it's all rooted in a generation gone by. In the earlier 1900's there just wasn't as much affluence as there is now (speaking regarding the US, I know this is still happening in developing nations). People honestly didn't get enough to eat in Depression Era America. Because of this, the perception of a "healthy" person was one who WAS getting enough to eat, i.e. somebody with a few extra pounds on them. Nowadays, the perception has shifted and skinny/athletic builds are considered "healthy", driven in part by medical science and in part by fashion. BUT, there are still people who cling to the old ways... Elvisio "dat's what I figgur" Rodriguez
  14. Me and the lady roll in at around $150 a week for everything. That includes non-eating stuff like detergent and plastic bags, but doesn't include the occasional foray into town for a restaurant visit. Looks like a good program; damn, no distributors in Virginia. The only problem I'd have with the program would be that if I DID eat out for whatever reason, I'd come home, see that expensive-as-hell meal sitting in the fridge and think about how it'd just go to waste, and end up eating it too... Elvisio "I tried counting calories but I can't count that high" Rodriguez
  15. When I gave up and submitted to her stalking me from state to state... Actually, that's what really happened. Ah, so romantic when I here it put that way... Elvisio "haven't proposed yet, but mostly just circling the drain" Rodriguez
  16. My cat's breath smells like catfood. Elvisio "..." Rodriguez
  17. I am a to-the-bone high wind tandem instructor WEENIE. I will run and hide if the turbulence becomes even moderate. Bad news is I've sat around and watch other folks make a lot of jumps and a lot of money on the days I didn't have the balls to jump. Good news is (so far, thank God) no injuries to me or a student. Now, to answer your question more directly, I'd be worried about me getting myself in trouble with hard S turns (sashaying? sp?) close to the ground. Instead, when I do get in conditions that favor turbulence close to the ground, I just try to minimize my exposure to the turbulence-producers, like staying well away from the hangars and treelines, and not flying over the tarmac (whenever possible). Elvisio "all bones intact for the moment" Rodriguez
  18. BUMP! So I'm watching tonight's episode right now... what's everybody's opinion so far for the new episodes? Personally, I'm diggin' 'em... Elvisio "loismustdie@yahoo.com" Rodriguez
  19. MY favorite part is: "and when THAT project is finished, Cardoso wants to build a flying car." Yep, there you go. Setting reasonable, attainable steps in one's career. STEP 1: strap lawn mower to one's back with a 'gliding canopy. STEP 2: build flying car. Elvisio "sounds like my future calling" Rodriguez
  20. I might disagree... I oft find it depends more on HOW she goes about getting it rather than the fact that she does, no? Elvisio "the play is the thing" Rodriguez
  21. Truer words were never spoken than: A woman gets laid whenever she wants; A man gets laid whenever he can. Elvisio "swore I'd never be living by the phrase, but wait... DAMMIT!" Rodriguez
  22. Dogfood? Elvisio "sorry I said that" Rodriguez
  23. peanuts and gum Elvisio "chewy and crunchy" Rodriguez
  24. I'm absolutely FLOORED that it actually took as long as 14 responses for this thread to move in this particular direction... Elvisio "it must be Friday" Rodriguez
