Okay, yeah, I'd have to say that a) I love to do it and b) I'm good at it It's easy to be good at something you enjoy so much. -Jeffrey "With tha thoughts of a militant mind... Hard line, hard line after hard line!"

That is fuckin' awesome, and by far the most exhaustive list I've ever seen. On another forum, people posted those that occurred to them, but there weren't nearly that many. I am kicking myself for having thought of a great original one, but before I ever wrote it down somewhere, I FORGOT IT! -Jeffrey "With tha thoughts of a militant mind... Hard line, hard line after hard line!"

When it comes to them, I prefer the "petit filet" myself. LOL -Jeffrey "With tha thoughts of a militant mind... Hard line, hard line after hard line!"

It was from the original Phantasm. The best cult horror film ever made. -Jeffrey "With tha thoughts of a militant mind... Hard line, hard line after hard line!"

I got an answer right, so I'll post another quote: -Jeffrey "With tha thoughts of a militant mind... Hard line, hard line after hard line!"

That's The Untouchables Why won't anyone guess about my quote? -Jeffrey "With tha thoughts of a militant mind... Hard line, hard line after hard line!"

What you said is true. I think that there was little need for the gratuitous sex stuff, like when Henry took some friends flying and the girl had an orgasm in the plane from the G-forces of his maneuvers? That was plain silly. Some of the book was a bit ham-fisted, but I did enjoy the factual history that was interspersed. What do you make of that dude Ad Topperwein who was supposed to have been able to hit 2"x2"x2" pine cubes in midair with a BAR?! He supposedly did thousands of them without a miss! Is that factual? There was also a scene with Henry's girlfriend, the girl who was abducted into sex-slavery by the mafia, where she and a lesbian lover (she liked girls, mostly, after her abduction) played a prank on one of Henry's friends and made sure to be "caught" in a 69 in a shed, just to embarrass him. Gratuitous. Titillating, but gratuitious. Sort of like my continued use of the word "gratuitous." edited to add: Stuff about the Topperweins of trick-shooting fame -Jeffrey "With tha thoughts of a militant mind...

Oh, I shoulda known that from the song "Science Fiction Double Feature" from The Rocky Horror Picture Show! "Michael Rennie was ill the day the earth stood still, but he told us where we stand..." -Jeffrey "With tha thoughts of a militant mind... Hard line, hard line after hard line!"

You lost me. Are you talking about my quote? The actor who played the ice cream man is Reggie Bannister. -Jeffrey "With tha thoughts of a militant mind... Hard line, hard line after hard line!"

Geez, this thread is in CHAOS. On a different forum, we observed the rule that no one could just randomly throw out quotes -- someone had to answer the current quote with the correct movie it was from, and then he/she could post a quote. Since I just got the last correct answer or two, I'll go. (Hint: an ice cream man said it.) -Jeffrey "With tha thoughts of a militant mind... Hard line, hard line after hard line!"

name it Sounds like The Boondock Saints. Great movie. -Jeffrey "With tha thoughts of a militant mind... Hard line, hard line after hard line!"

"For our policemen, we created a race of robots. Their function is to patrol the planets in space ships like this one and prepare for peace. In matters of aggression, we have given them absolute power, a power that cannot be revoked. At the first sign of violence they act automatically against the aggressor. The penalty for provoking their action is too terrible to risk. The result is, we live in peace, without arms or armies, secure in the knowledge that we are free from aggression and war. I came here to give you these facts. It is no concern of ours how you run your own planet. But if you threaten to extend your violence, this Earth of yours will be reduced to a burned out cinder. your choice is simple: join us and live in peace, or pursue your present course and face obliteration." RoboCop What are you, kidding? That ain't Robocop. I think that's "The Day the Earth Stood Still." Is that the right title for the movie where the guy comes to earth with the robot that stands guard outside the space ship? -Jeffrey "With tha thoughts of a militant mind...

It's 02:40 here in Florida. We just finished work for the night. I figured, why web surf at home on a 56k connection when I have T-1 here at the office? -Jeffrey "With tha thoughts of a militant mind... Hard line, hard line after hard line!"

I LOOOOOVE eating meat! I love a good medium-rare rib steak, a good hamburger, a tender filet mignon, a chewy, greasy skirt steak (those are awesome!)... I also love lamb chops, pork chops (baked in italian bread crumbs), chicken is good too. Even the bounty of the sea -- lobster, mahi-mahi, crab, shrimp, scallops. I can't for the life of me figure out why people go vegetarian when these delectable foods exist to be eaten and enjoyed. Why should HUMANS be the only species for which preying on other species is somehow immoral? No one tells the lion how mean it is that she preys on the slowest impala! Things eat other things because they can. Simple as that. There's no unfairness in it, unless you want to claim that the basic rules set up by God are "unfair." He's the reason you have to eat to live in the first place. I say, might as well enjoy it to the utmost. -Jeffrey "With tha thoughts of a militant mind... Hard line, hard line after hard line!"

So, would it even surprise anyone if at some time in the future it came down to not just a refusal by gun owners to give up any more of their rights, but out-and-out violence in defense of them? I mean, abused segments of the population can be pushed only so far -- particularly by LIARS and THIEVES and CORRUPT "ACTIVISTS" who know their side is intellectually and factually bankrupt -- before frustration and repeated victimization cause them to push back. The thing is, those pushing back would be that segment of the population that is pretty damn well armed. And they'd be pushing back against whom? That segment of the population that argues against being armed, and which presumably has no arms with which to fight when the pro-gunners come to claim their lost rights back. The best the anti-gunners could do is either expose that they've been keeping guns for themselves all this time in spite of railing against gun ownership, or they'd have to count on the police authorities to step in and protect them when their uppance comes. A really good book is John Ross' Unintended Consequences. It's a fictional account of what happens when one honest gun owner gets good and angry at the indignities inflicted by anti-gun scumbags. It's a fantastic read. -Jeffrey "With tha thoughts of a militant mind... Hard line, hard line after hard line!"

Save up some more and get "Pilotwings" for the Nintendo 64. I have that, and it is entertaining enough that I can still play the levels I've finished and have fun. The skydiving consists of doing RW points, and then opening and doing a flare onto an accuracy circle. That part is exceedingly difficult, because your field of view sucks. The absolute best part of the game is "Birdman." When you've succeeded at enough levels, you get access to being able to fly with wings attached to your arms. You can fly on any of the landscapes used on the other levels of the game. There is no scoring: it's just about the freedom of flying.

Okay, Boxer. If we study the results and find (which we will, of course) that mandatory gun locks do NOT make the number of accidental shootings go way down, WILL YOU LEAD THE CHARGE TO REPEAL THE LAW? Of course, if the results of the 1994 "Assault Weapons Ban" are any indication, the answer is an obvious NO. We know that that atrocity made no one any safer and saved no lives, and it was among the laws that the CDC could not say did any good -- but the anti-gunners have not avowed the failure of the law and have not supported repealing it: they want to RENEW it. They are the most dishonest shitheaps in Washington. Even in the face of the failure of their policies, they continue to push those inane policies -- and they forever demand more, more, MORE. "Compromise"? To an anti-gun congressperson, "compromise" means the pro-gunners give up additional rights. There's never a quo to the quid. -Jeffrey "With tha thoughts of a militant mind... Hard line, hard line after hard line!"

Pink Floyd The Wall. Since I'd go insane on an island alone with only one CD, it might as well be about a guy going insane, right? -Jeffrey "With tha thoughts of a militant mind... Hard line, hard line after hard line!"

I could give a shit whether you respect me or not. It's my opinion....you don't like it? Too bad...quit YOUR whining. All you've shown is that you know how to call people names BTW...you spelled puerile wrong. I sure did. I always get to thinking the E comes first. BTW it meets the definition of "puerile" to pettily and childishly point that out, as though it helps any of your other arguments. You "COULD care less"? That means you DO care. I'm flattered. -Jeffrey "With tha thoughts of a militant mind... Hard line, hard line after hard line!"

What an asinine post. With a peurile mentality that simplifies whatever you feel politically into "I hate George Bush," you expect anyone to respect your views of how the country should be run?? All you've shown is that you're whiny and petulant. Congrats. -Jeffrey "With tha thoughts of a militant mind... Hard line, hard line after hard line!"

Man, that is funny. Thanks for posting it. You gotta wonder what motivates people like that. I guess that for one thing, they expect that so few people are skydivers that they'd never get caught in a lie, or that the chances are very slim. Why, though, would someone go around trying to seem cool because he skydives, but never bother to actually skydive (and learn the facts)?? I mean, if you want to pick something "cool" to be "into" just to impress people, why not stick to something that's easier to know the lingo/facts about? It seems to me an odd choice to boast of being a skydiver when you're a total whuffo, relying on "facts" probably gleaned from "Drop Zone" (the movie). How pathetic. It shows admirable restraint that you didn't take the guys down in an embarrassing way. I wonder what would have happened if you had taken them aside and whispered to them, "I don't know why you've chosen to represent yourselves as skydivers, but as a skydiver myself I know you're full of shit, you've never jumped, and you know nothing about skydiving..." That woulda been funny. -Jeffrey "With tha thoughts of a militant mind... Hard line, hard line after hard line!"

"Can't we all just get along?" Rodney King See, that's exactly part of the problem: there hadda be lawyers waltzing King into court and trying to convince everyone what a swell guy that piece of shit was. Anyone who can do that... I don't respect that ability in a person. People for whom lying comes so easily... I hate 'em. -Jeffrey "With tha thoughts of a militant mind... Hard line, hard line after hard line!"

Welcome! I would never attempt to pin down a "favorite" part of skydiving, or flying, but for me, landing -- both a parachute and a Cessna -- are verrry enjoyable parts for me. I think that if you keep your focus on how much fun the ground-rush of landing really is, you will have an easier time facing the challenge of getting it right. I was very luck because in my upbringing, my dad learned to fly, so he took me flying all the time during junior high and high school. I was taught early on how landings are done -- and truth is, they've very similar between Cessnas and parachutes. The same dynamics apply. You might even do well to study landings in an airplane flight manual! The principles will be explained very clearly there. I suggest that with the number of jumps you have, you should enlist help in finding your own gear -- which will probably be zero-p. Once you leave F-111 behind, some of your difficulties will disappear. The landings become less traumatic, and at a less-steep angle to the ground. You will then learn to plane-out your momentum and smoothly flare so that your feet... just... touch. When it happens that way, it's a beautiful thing. The whole sport is beautiful. Stick with it, and get instruction to help you. -Jeffrey "With tha thoughts of a militant mind... Hard line, hard line after hard line!"
