Zennie, I would have thought Blinc or some other base board would have a whole forum on "Potential BASErs whose spouses don't approve". It can't be uncommon. Justin

Good idea. He would be much more knowledgeable that me on that issue. And if you are looking for info on white-trash, man-tit-loving, southern, heterosexual sheep then you should ask Clay.

Military jumps from age 22-24. Civilian jumps starting at age 29. I'm now a geezer of 31. I figure I have a couple years before senility kicks in and I have to stop jumping.

Skreamer didn't vote, because there was no option for poodles.

That is why I had to specify WOMEN with boobies. Poor Clay. He went for a penis enlargement and they gave him breast implants instead. Justin

HH, I'd like to make a suggestion for Happy Hour. While Slappie & Zennie may be competant and all as virtual bartenders, I'd like to have them replaced. Well, that may be a bit harsh. Let's get them some assistants or something. Specifically, we need bartenders with boobies. No offense to the guys, but nothing makes a place homey like a woman bartender.

I'm sure the customs officer wouldn't consider it wasted. Justin

That reminds me of part of a movie. It is in "Patton", when the German analyst says that the end of the war would destroy Patton. There is a lot of truth in that concept. It takes someone unbalanced to really excel in war. It is just a shame that those same people can't cope better with peace. Justin

Kingbunky, I'm not saying ferrets can't be kept without the house smelling, but that most people aren't willing to do the work required. It is good that you are. The corncob thing sounds cool. Justin

Whew! I'm relieved that Clay didn't start a "Creature in My Garage" thread. Ferrets are fun. My friend had a couple. They can have personalities and love to play games. However, they are some smelly animals. Stink, stank, stunk! They require a whole lot of care to keep them halfway sanitary, which many people aren't really willing to put in. A quick walk into a ferret-owner's house and you can tell who is who. Justin

Sorry to hear the news, Dave. Sounds like an urgent call for Dave to see some boobies. Any of the ladies able to help cheer him up?

Coward! Victory is mine! Justin

And she calls herself literate! Bah! We'll put her on double secret probation! MUAHAHAHAHA.

That is such a great scene! The pinnacle of fine cinema. Justin

It would depend on the story... and the pictures!

Perris is a long way, but hey, if you bring good beer.....

You know, the things that are unfortunately so prominent in Clay's DZ.com mug shot. Damn him! Otherwise, they are the extra-altitude inducers women have. If I was a pilot, I would be hell on the fuel bill, but I'd see boobies on every jump. Justin

Alphons, I'll take a rain check on the beer the next time you are in the US. But when you do get the chance to even up, it can be with the European beer of your choice.

Dumb End User

No, but if it is the first time, you owe beer. Justin

Ice cream sandwich! Justin

Wow. I'm impressed. I also know who won't be doing the load organizing. Justin

Lisa can certainly defend herself, but if you just stop and listen for a minute, you'll figure out that many people responding to you really do know what they are talking about. I'm not a super-experienced jumper. Far from it. But I have the sense to listen up and learn something from those who are.... Justin

So noted. Justin

Heh. I would end up much more broken from the beating than I would in a bad landing. And like Zennie said, some of us find our marriages important. I also disagree about not going BASE jumping being like not skydiving. There is nowhere within a thousand miles that I can do it legally, except once a year for Bridge Day if/when it resumes. I know that the illegality is one of the draws, but for many reasons, that is the very issue that holds some skydivers from doing it. Your chances of getting caught and arrested BASE jumping are substantial if you do it enough. Where I live (near Wash. DC), I don't think there are a lot of remote cliffs suitable for jumping. So that leaves the usual variety of trespassing options. I have no objection to other people doing that, but I'm not ready to call my wife to bail me out and then pay the fines. Getting arrested can be a career-stopper for some people, where others would have no problem working with a bunch of misdemeanor arrests. I'm not anti-BASE. I think equating not doing it to being a whuffo is a little skewed. Just another $.02. Justin
