Do any of us have a hope of having people who live on after us honor our last will and testament? The Pope's confidant is essentially saying, "Oh, the Pope wanted this? Well, I want that, so, um, tough!" Pretty freakin' sickening, I think. And scary. Doesn't this seem, like, some sort of turning-point in history? Like everything we've ever known and accepted is kinda just ignored, ridiculed, or trodden upon? edit: here is the link Pope's last wishes in will not to be honored by trusted assistant -Jeffrey -Jeffrey "With tha thoughts of a militant mind... Hard line, hard line after hard line!"

I'm 41% sex 59% non-sex, which I think is non-sense I'm crazy-sexual. Even just last night! Oh, I could've boosted my score by 1% 'cause it asks if you have a nipple piercing and while I don't, I will soon.

Well, I'm glad you like it, but I was never a huge fan of Pac Man. I did like Ms. Pac Man a lot more, though. Wasn't a big difference the fact that the first game had only one screen over and over, but Ms. Pac Man had a bunch of them? Then there was Pac Man Jr., which had a pinball game attached to it! Those game makers mustabeen trippin' hard! Ohhh, I also remember those games with the gun mounted on the deck, like Crossbow and Cheyenne. Your duty was to protect a band of adventurers (your guys) as they ventured across the screen and were threatened with all sorts of harm. Those were cool. Then there was Spy Hunter, Star Wars, Donkey Kong Jr., Ikari Warriors (that was one of my favorites, but it was so rare!). Also I loved this game called Xybots, which was really a serious precursor to first-person shooters like Doom and Duke Nukem. There were several Asteroids knockoffs that were actually pretty good. I can't think of the name of it, but I remember one where instead of asteroids, you shot at these colored pinwheel things. You could even play it with a partner on the screen, and you could even play it with an umbilical link between your ships (which made it really hard to steer!)... One thing is certain: they DO NOT make games as good as the old ones anymore. -Jeffrey -Jeffrey "With tha thoughts of a militant mind... Hard line, hard line after hard line!"

The big fallacy here is that your correlation is lost. I don't have anything in common with Plutonians. A black person and I have no biological reason to lack things in common. We ARE BOTH HUMAN BEINGS. Other differentiating factors are purely superficial. That's where your analogy falls flat on its face. If the black person at the DZ sees the rest of the people there as PEOPLE, and vice versa, then they can yuck it up and have a few beers (or in my case Gatorades) and talk about the day's skydiving. Who has to give a flying fuck what ethnicity or race they all are? I think it is insulting to even consider it, when we're all skydivers, and humans. Too much weight is being given to matters of skin color. Artificial divisions. Stupidity. -Jeffrey -Jeffrey "With tha thoughts of a militant mind... Hard line, hard line after hard line!"

Um, you said they'd get theirs. What happened to the dude who stole your pack? 'Cause it sounds like, well, nothing. -Jeffrey -Jeffrey "With tha thoughts of a militant mind... Hard line, hard line after hard line!"

Here's hoping the shitwads die in a fiery car wreck. The world needs to be rid of people like that. -Jeffrey -Jeffrey "With tha thoughts of a militant mind... Hard line, hard line after hard line!"

I wish I had a shirt here that's not the one I'm wearing, so I could try that before I go home. I'll probably forget to do it once I get home. And I would love to know what the hell the narrator is saying! Why do Japanese people sound to me like little squeaky anime animals?? -Jeffrey -Jeffrey "With tha thoughts of a militant mind... Hard line, hard line after hard line!"

Baum-chikka-baum-baum-chikka-baum... LOL! Seventies porn?!! All mustaches and belly chains and eye shadow!! LMAO!! -Jeffrey Yup. And the women had pubic hair. mh . Ain't nuthin' wrong with pubic hair, man, 'specially if it's cute! (I'm goin' home in a minute to some really really cute pubic hair, and I don't mean my own!) -Jeffrey -Jeffrey "With tha thoughts of a militant mind... Hard line, hard line after hard line!"

Well, it sounds like you've gotten your money out of them, fine, but most of those things I would have either done barefoot, or in a pair of Nike hiking boots that cost me far less than $200, or the Timberland work boots that cost me $100, twelve years ago. It amazes me that people think that they need high-tech boots to hike. I do it with no footwear at all, and it feels better, doesn't risk blisters, gives me better traction, and doesn't erode the paths I walk either. When I really do need shoes, I wear the least I can get away with. The rest of it is bullshit marketing making people think they need the high-markup items... -Jeffrey -Jeffrey "With tha thoughts of a militant mind... Hard line, hard line after hard line!"

Yes, but unfortunately, "spending it as you wish" often translates to "spend it pretentiously and ostentatiously," and people end up paying WAY more for an item than that item is worth, even to them. $900 for a fucking PURSE? Tell me, please, and try to do a good job: What the FUCK makes ANY PURSE worth that much money? Is it lined with gold thread? I'm asking about the difference between the actual cost of materials and manufacture, and the retail price. 'Cause I'm telling you, these people are paying for a bullshit name and nothing more. $400 shoes? Again, same questions apply. WTF can make shoes worth that much unless they simply are made of materials that cost that much raw? Here's the trick: if you have to be TOLD that they cost that much, rather than being able to LOOK at them and say, " Those must be $400 shoes if they're a dollar!" then they ain't fuckin' worth it. -Jeffrey -Jeffrey "With tha thoughts of a militant mind...

If you think they cleaned the jizz off the comforter from the last people who slept there, buddy, you're foolin' yourself but no one else. -Jeffrey -Jeffrey "With tha thoughts of a militant mind... Hard line, hard line after hard line!"

So far, the greatest difference in height between me and my girlfriend has been about 13,500 feet... Blue skies, -Jeffrey -Jeffrey "With tha thoughts of a militant mind... Hard line, hard line after hard line!"

It's a good fuckin' thing I am going to get laid right after work because this thread has just hit me right square in the horny and I am dyin' for it now! -Jeffrey -Jeffrey "With tha thoughts of a militant mind... Hard line, hard line after hard line!"

I was sittin next to a girl on CK's skyvan and she leaned over to me and said the if she started looking odd, tell her cuz the vibration was going straight to her clit ring... man did she make some happy faces! Dude, if you didn't get with that shit AFTER the jump then you got problems! -Jeffrey -Jeffrey "With tha thoughts of a militant mind... Hard line, hard line after hard line!"

Okay, now I CANNOT concentrate on work... I'm just picturing this over and over...

Hey, that's the Crosskeys/Sebastian Skyvan! Don't forget there's also a sticker on the door edge that says that Bush "hit his head here" too! -Jeffrey -Jeffrey "With tha thoughts of a militant mind... Hard line, hard line after hard line!"

Standing up, or lying down? Blue skies, -Jeffrey -Jeffrey "With tha thoughts of a militant mind... Hard line, hard line after hard line!"

Try as I might, and I have a good sense of humor, I cannot find ANYTHING funny about that man. He's just all tense and tries way too fuckin' hard, and puts on those stupid half-assed accents like he's trying to sound black even though it has nothing to do with the joke... UGH! It's painful to watch! -Jeffrey -Jeffrey "With tha thoughts of a militant mind... Hard line, hard line after hard line!"

You are SO right! -Jeffrey -Jeffrey "With tha thoughts of a militant mind... Hard line, hard line after hard line!"

*ahem* Nothin' like a vagina you can fit your whole head inside, there, eh? Really, Misty, one has to wonder just what you were surfin' for when you found this one! -Jeffrey -Jeffrey "With tha thoughts of a militant mind... Hard line, hard line after hard line!"

I might have reacted with undue harshness to the idea of this thread because I was reading into it stuff that wasn't necessarily contained therein. I apologize. I didn't mean to be judgmental of those who have posted here. I do continue to feel the way I indicated, if and when people are soooo attached to status symbols and needlessly expensive things. Anyway, goodnight all.

I'm an "outdoorsy type" who virtually never wears shoes (and when I do, they're flip-flops, and when I skydive, I'm barefoot). I deplore the notion of shoes being expensive. They should be minimal. They should not be considered an extension of the self, or a definer of the self. If you are paying for the name of the maker of the shoe, then you are a fool. If you require certain kinds of linen in order to be able to sleep comfortably, then you are a prickly, fussy person who is bound to just annoy the shit out of anyone you try to spend time with. Hard-to-please people are also hard-up for pleasing those they are with. It goes both ways. A person who can't sleep on ordinary linen is just not versatile. What the hell would happen to such a person if their car broke down on a long trip and they had to spend the night in a motel? They'd be sleep deprived the next day when they got the car repaired? It's one thing to enjoy "the finer things" and it's quite another to be unable to function without them. A "great haircut"? Give me a break. This is snobbery at its worst, this thread is. Who gives a fuck about it?! Is that what you see in people? The apparent price of their haircut?! OMFG. Ever heard of "conspicuous consumption"? It's the kind of spending that means you waste money on bullshit things like designer shoes and expensive haircuts, when others go without. It's part of what's wrong with the world, in my view. -Jeffrey -Jeffrey "With tha thoughts of a militant mind... Hard line, hard line after hard line!"
