There are plenty of historical figures who managed to make contributions to culture and society while still being poor role models. The people who disappoint me are the ones who lack the reasoning skills to mentally separate an individual from his or her work/contributions and therefore dismiss both the individual and the work/contributions as being unworthy of recognition.

His band pioneered a new genre of music and wrote songs that will forever stand as pop cultural icons of their day. Those are contributions to culture and society, whether you appreciate them or not. Believe it or not, a person is not judged by what he or she contributes to you. Try to steer away from the idea that the universe revolves around you--It's not healthy.

Part of the Summer Classic Film Series, right? They showed Casablanca and North by Northwest (two of my favorites) during the first week of the series this year, but I was pretty busy then, and I missed them. On September 1 and 2 they're showing Lawrence of Arabia in 70mm. I may have to try to make that. I don't have an M.D. or a law degree. I have bachelor's in kicking ass and taking names.

The way a person dies doesn't discredit everything he or she said while alive. Ernest Hemmingway and Kurt Cobain both had drug problems and eventually committed suicide; however, few would argue that their deaths negate the contributions they made to society and culture while alive. And if I ever develop a drug problem and commit suicide, this statement will be as true then as it is now. I don't have an M.D. or a law degree. I have bachelor's in kicking ass and taking names.

It's one of the best movies ever made and about as close to a perfect movie as you can get. I don't have an M.D. or a law degree. I have bachelor's in kicking ass and taking names.

Really? I didn't know that guys cared as much as women thought that they did, or that they preferred nude to lingerie. Maybe I need to buy more sexy underwear...hmmm. What? Men not care about women's underwear? Are you kidding? Would you like to see my closet full of women's underwear to see just how much I care? I don't have an M.D. or a law degree.

Personally, I felt like The Berenstain Bears and the Mama's Day Surprise was all flashy prose and no substance. The third one is To Kill a Mockingbird. I don't have an M.D. or a law degree. I have bachelor's in kicking ass and taking names.

HAAHAHAHHAAAA 1984: A West Side Story Actually there was a pretty decent release of the book to movie. In believe it or not, 1984. Yeah, the 1984 version of 1984 starring John Hurt is pretty good. 1984 is one of my two or three favorite books, so I can't wait to see what direction the filmmakers take.

My dad just emailed me the proofs from my sister's wedding, and I kind of liked this one of me, so I thought I'd add it here. I don't have an M.D. or a law degree. I have bachelor's in kicking ass and taking names.

OK,...... who annointed you MC? The reunion committee. If you wanted to nominated somebody else for MC, you should have come to the meetings. I don't have an M.D. or a law degree. I have bachelor's in kicking ass and taking names.

You're right. According to the 2005 USPA member survey, it's 5-6:1. I was going off some old numbers. Still, it's enough of a discrepancy to cause what I like to refer to as "the three-legged cat wandering into a pack of dogs syndrome" every time a woman walks onto a drop zone.

Boxers... It could work... you could maybe backfly the whole way down! So come on, anyone else up for the lingerie jump? If it was within a one hour drive, I'd be there with bells on. Everyone knows how much I love any opportunity to run around a drop zone scantily clad. IMGR2, let me know when Capitol Skydiving gets a pool--I haven't forgotten about our agreement to spend a day lounging around a drop zone pool in our respective banana hammocks.

No tandems, as far as I can tell. Turnout is lighter but I hear that we're up to around 800 now. The weather is absolutely great! Seven years ago the WFFC had a turnout seven times that high. It's too bad there's no longer one mega boogie that EVERYBODY attends--That was a lot of fun. I don't have an M.D. or a law degree. I have bachelor's in kicking ass and taking names.

How about you jump down off your high horse for a minute, Swedishcelt. How many "mail order brides" or husbands of "mail order brides" have you known? I've known a few, and they all seemed very happily married, so how about we all refrain from trying to apply our twenty-first century American middle class ideals to all of humanity.

JET! JET! JET! I jumped the 727 the last year it flew at Quincy. I'm glad to see the jet jump is finally back. I don't have an M.D. or a law degree. I have bachelor's in kicking ass and taking names.

What cracks me up is when people go out of their way to change the order of their preposition when it's not even at the end of the sentence anyway. Example: "The pen with which you are writing is black." When "the pen you're writing with is black" would be perfectly acceptable. The premise behind not ending a sentence in a preposition is to keep the preposition as close as possible to its object. Your first example does move "pen" and "with" closer together, but I think we can probably all agree that it does so at the cost of making the sentence a little too wordy and convoluted. [monkycndo] In that example, the preposition "at" has no object, so its use is grammatically incorrect. Most of us are guilty of throwing in a lot of extra prepositions when we speak.

From the "Snake Myths" page on that site: 11. Venomous snakes have triangular heads. So do a great number of the NON-venomous. Most snakes have a triangular looking head. This is not a good way to determine between venomous and non-venomous. EDITED TO ADD: That web site offers to identify the species of snake and whether or not it's venomous, if you email them a picture of it. I don't have an M.D. or a law degree.
