  1. I like to hump things. That's all. Brie "Ive seen you hump air, hump the floor of the plane, and hump legs. You now have a new nickname: "Black Humper of Death"--yardhippie
  2. hey guys - my tattoo artist rescheduled my appointment last night, so I just might have to do a jump or two....
  3. Pellegrino and Cranberry Juice (just a smidge of juice)
  4. There's also the Bank of Dad... Brie "Ive seen you hump air, hump the floor of the plane, and hump legs. You now have a new nickname: "Black Humper of Death"--yardhippie
  5. Do like Hambone said. You shouldn't have a problem getting them for the summer.... Good luck hun. Brie "Ive seen you hump air, hump the floor of the plane, and hump legs. You now have a new nickname: "Black Humper of Death"--yardhippie
  6. Whatever - Travis and I are cooler than they are. http://www.dropzone.com/cgi-bin/forum/gforum.cgi?do=post_view_flat;post=2130569;page=3;sb=post_latest_reply;so=ASC;mh=25;
  7. I am off the fence. Travis and I are going to come for the day on Saturday. I won't be jumping because of my tattoo, but I'll be hanging out and drinking beer on the beach.
  8. Tell me about it. We live in Tallahassee, it's supposed to be 95 today, and my car has no air conditioning. Oh, the things we do to be able to jump. Brie "Ive seen you hump air, hump the floor of the plane, and hump legs. You now have a new nickname: "Black Humper of Death"--yardhippie
  9. You can do it, weege! I believe in you! Brie "Ive seen you hump air, hump the floor of the plane, and hump legs. You now have a new nickname: "Black Humper of Death"--yardhippie
  10. That was great. The other half-cubicle inhabitants are wondering why I'm laughing. Like hyenas are wont to do.
  11. As others have argued, these people should not be let out of jail if they still present a risk. However, to answer your question....there is no answer. These Megan's Laws vary from state to state, and the sex crimes range from possession of child pornography (like the case I posted earlier) and indecent exposure (streaking) all the way to sexual assault on a minor. The problem with these lists is that there is often no procedural due process in place to contest one's place on the list. So a person who was caught with a pornographic video with a 17-year-old on it had no way of getting off the list. The way to fix it is to write to your local legislators. Several courts have found these lists to be overbroad in the restrictions they implement, but Connecticut v. Doe (I think that's the case) ruled that one's place on the list is a result of a full trial, and that's all the process these defendants get. So if you have a conviction for statutory rape when you were 18 and your girlfriend was 17, and you didn't know that you would be labled as a sex offender and be kicked out of certain communities, then you're screwed because you didn't preserve the claim at trial. It's a messy messy system, and basically results in a lot of harrassment. Brie "Ive seen you hump air, hump the floor of the plane, and hump legs.

  12. So I'm on the fence about going for the day on Saturday....I think I can get my work done Thursday and Friday, but I have a final on Monday and I KNOW I'm not going to get anything done that day.... Convince me? Brie "Ive seen you hump air, hump the floor of the plane, and hump legs. You now have a new nickname: "Black Humper of Death"--yardhippie
  13. I say the word "I" too much.... Brie "Ive seen you hump air, hump the floor of the plane, and hump legs. You now have a new nickname: "Black Humper of Death"--yardhippie
  14. That's a giant sequoia pine cone. We were on the trail when we found it. I felt bad taking the picture because there were all these Buddhist monks around and I'm sure they were scandalized.
  15. Here are some recent pics from my honeymoon in Yosemite.
  16. Although the Supreme Court has not yet dealt with this issue, I have to agree. Take a look at Doe v. Pryor 61 F. Supp 2d 1224. It's 11th circuit - the same as Georgia. This case said that the Alabama Megan's Law was too restrictive, and infringed on the defendant's liberty interest. My problem with these laws is that very few of them have any system whereby the defendants can challenge their sex offender status. This guy received ONE video tape in the mail with child pornography on it. He never actually assaulted anyone. I'm not saying it's not a serious offense, but it's hardly enough to make someone move out of a neighborhood. I'm sure many sex offenders haven't actually committed sexual assault, and are still subject to these restrictions. Like I said, it seems excessive to me. Of course, I'm a person who believes that once you've paid your debt to society, you should be free to take advantage of all of those things in a society that people who haven't committed crimes have. In short, I agree with Kris. If we've determined that these people are no longer dangerous, and have let them out of jail, then we shouldn't be able to harass and embarass them, or let others harass or embarass them.

  17. Ask Lochland. He's been everywhere. Seriously Kel, I can't help but notice that you've been in a crossroads recently. Maybe you should think about pulling a Kristen and going to find yourself.

  18. Whoa! I haven't heard that term except in environmental law classes. I agree.
  19. Yes, 12 jumps packing them all was hard. I'm going to do my best not to bitch quite so much this time. Ooh, poor me, I'm tired from doing what I love all day. WAA! Hehe. Brie "Ive seen you hump air, hump the floor of the plane, and hump legs. You now have a new nickname: "Black Humper of Death"--yardhippie
  20. http://www.forsythnews.com/news/stories/20060618/localnews/103911.shtml So apparently a community in Georgia has passed a law that is forcing registered sex offenders to move completely out of the county. It seems a little extreme to me. Thoughts? Brie "Ive seen you hump air, hump the floor of the plane, and hump legs. You now have a new nickname: "Black Humper of Death"--yardhippie
  21. I'm totally looking forward to this! I'm planning on getting on the high altitude loads (all of them) as a challenge to myself. I've never done 15 jumps in a day and packed them all! Kristi we can work on your headdown!
  22. My Dad is a really amazing person. He had a very hard life, and a worse family, and came out of it all like a shiny new penny. He still loves my mom more than anything else. They still dance in the kitchen. My husband and I recently tagged along on his second (first non-military) tandem, and he had a great time. He got down and said that he understands now how I love it so much. He has all of the compassion in the world, and accepts people for who they are. He sees the good in everyone. I truly believe that my dad would give me anything and everything just to see me smile.
  23. I get jump horny!!! Ask Hippie - he has good video. Brie "Ive seen you hump air, hump the floor of the plane, and hump legs. You now have a new nickname: "Black Humper of Death"--yardhippie
  24. You're addicted to talking about Rigger.
