The odd part is he's living in Argentina and rides bitch on a motorcycle . . . http://www.liveleak.com/view?i=7e9_1265854777 NickD

Damn, if it's fake, I have seen it all . . . NickD

Never saw anything like this before . . . (Which is good because sometimes I think I've seen it all.) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SsDEfu8s1Lw&feature=player_embedded# NickD

What parodies? When I, Frank Mott, and another rigger saw him say, "I'm in control," live on TV from the White House we all said the same thing, "WTF did he just say!" And if trying to make your point using that worthless piece of shit from Alaska as an example forget it. I haven't seen an episode of SNL since it was funny in 1975 . . . NickD

Killing time between coats of paint again. Check out this episode of "Highway Patrol" on Hula. It's a riot! And wait till you see who's one of the "Dirty bums on a motorsicle!" . . . http://www.hulu.com/watch/104163/highway-patrol-motorcycle NickD

Here's the "I'm in control" thing . . . http://www.cnn.com/video/#/video/politics/2010/02/20/sot.haig.im.in.charge.cnn?hpt=T1 NickD

Check this one. Pretty cool, even sounds a bit like a full size Otter . . . http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZavyOWLdcKU NickD

Looks too short in the cables to be from an intentional cutaway set-up where the cutaway main is d-bagged from the aircraft. Might be from a flag bag or a really over-engineered ash bag . . . LOL NickD

I was in a class recently and on the first day we all introduced ourselves, mentioning our interests, etc. and one young guy said he was into, "Any and all board sports." Took me a bit to figure that out, LOL . . . When I was a kid the closest we came to "board sports" was a 2 x 4, a milk crate, and roller skate taken apart for front and back wheels . . . NickD

Yeah but . . . "Free Shipping!" LOL! Probably expired too . . . NickD

"I am in control here!" I was in the loft at the DZ that day in 1981 when we heard the first report on the radio that President Reagan had possibly been assassinated. We flipped on a TV and after finding out Reagan was still alive, we later saw Haig, then Secretary of State, out of breath (he'd just run up the stairs from the Situation Room) in the White House stating the above famous quote. We all seriously thought it was a coup d'état attempt by the former Army General. But it just turned out he choose his words badly . . . Al Haig, 1924-2010 NickD

Well, after just a few days of only listening to the Curling competition (while studying for class) I am starting to get it. "Don't flirt with the Hog Line . . . !" NickD

I don't like how ubiquitous TV has become. I see it in restaurants, like you said, I see it at the airport, I even see it when I'm dropping a hundred bucks on Sushi! I swear, I'm getting me one of these . . . http://www.turnoffyourtv.com/reviews/tvbgone/tvbgonereview.html NickD

"Shank Frankly" (Peter, when they give you your own show feel free to use the above title . . .) NickD

I was at work and we were called to the DMV for a 5150 (psychiatric patient) and the police were all ready on scene. It was an older man, probably about 70, and he wasn't being dangerous as much as just cranky and uncooperative. I spoke with him very calmly (using my best first jump student voice) and almost had him talked into letting us load him up on our gurney. But one of the cops thought it was all taking too long, told me to move away, and ordered the guy to let us take him. When he didn't comply right away the cop pulled his taser and dropped him like a bag of potatoes. I have to watch what I say to these cops as I work around them a lot, but I told him later I thought that was a bit much. And all he said to me was, "Walk a mile in my shoes." I wasn't convinced, but let it go. I do see the real assholes they deal with all the time. And I also see they often automatically treat everyone like an asshole. But I'm sure when I hit 70 I'll be cranky and uncooperative too, so my tasering is coming . . . NickD

On orbit, or in space, there is no up. And yes, Space Station inhabitants are in a zero g freefall all the time. NickD

I guess every generation has what it thinks is a hot rod, but I can't see any difference between his old car and his new car. They are both wimpy econo-boxes that sound like air compressors going down the street. Now this is a car!! Plus you can get some in the back seat . . . NickD

How stupid could they be? Did the Protestants finally kill off all the Catholics? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jLeJMoS-_Jo&feature=player_embedded NickD

Well, it's over. The US, according to the announcers, "Lost in a heart breaker!" But I still have no idea why. All I got was it's like cruise ship shuffle board without all the bars and great food. And like Italian boccie ball except no guy from the Mafia caps your ass for a bad throw. Other than that . . . WTF? Hockey's on now, I'm down with that. NickD

Anybody that speaks English? NickD

>>C&H on skydiving

We're watching the Curling competition right now, US vs the Swiss. Now I've seen snippets of Curling all my life but never really knew what was going on. They certainly get really excited, but about what? Can anybody out there give me a quick primer? NickD
