  6. "Sometimes when I reflect back on all the wine I drink I feel shame Then I look into the glass and think about the workers in the vineyards and all of their hopes and dreams If I didn't drink this wine, they might be out of work and their dreams would be shattered. Then I say to myself, "It is better that I drink this wine and let their dreams come true than be selfish and worry about my liver." ~ Jack Handy WARNING: The consumption of alcohol may leave you wondering what the hell happened to your bra and panties. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ "I feel sorry for people who don't drink. When they wake up in the morning, that's as good as they're going to feel all day " ~Frank Sinatra WARNING: The consumption of alcohol may create the illusion that you are tougher, smarter, faster and better looking than most people. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ "When I read about the evils of drinking, I gave up reading." ~ Henny Youngman WARNING: The consumption of alcohol may lead you to think people are laughing WITH you. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ "24 hours in a day, 24 beers in a case. Coincidence? I think not." ~ Stephen Wright WARNING: The consumption of alcohol may cause you to think you can sing. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ "Beer is proof that God loves us and wants us to be happy." ~ Benjamin Franklin WARNING: The consumption of alcohol is a major factor in dancing like a retard. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ "Without question, the greatest invention in the history of mankind is beer. Oh, I grant you that the wheel was also a fine invention, but the wheel does not go nearly as well with pizza." ~ Dave Barry WARNING: The consumption of alcohol may cause you to tell your friends over and over again that you love them. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ "To some it's a six-pack, to me it's a Support Group. Salvation in a can!" ~ Dave Howell WARNING: The consumption of alcohol may make you think you can logically converse with members of the opposite sex without spitting ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ "Well ya see, Norm, it's like this... A herd of buffalo can only move as fast as the slowest buffalo. And when the herd is hunted, it is the slowest and weakest ones at the back that are killed first This natural selection is good for the herd as a whole, because the general speed and health of the whole group keeps improving by the regular killing of the weakest members. In much the same way, the human brain can only operate as fast as the slowest brain cells. Excessive intake of alcohol, as we know, kills brain cells. But naturally, it attacks the slowest and weakest brain cells first. In this way, regular consumption of beer eliminates the weaker brain cells, making the brain a faster and more efficient machine. That's why you always feel smarter after a few beers." ~ Cliff Clavin of Cheers WARNING: The consumption of alcohol may make you think you are whispering when you are not. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ "Where troubles melt like lemon drops, away above the chimney tops, that's where you'll find me" Dorothy
  7. Only in Cheney's statement that he had "a beer" at lunch. But he could have been lying just to disredit the vice president..... You do realize the shooting took place about 7am, don't you? Isn't that why they call those small bottles "breakfast beers"? "Where troubles melt like lemon drops, away above the chimney tops, that's where you'll find me" Dorothy
  8. It was planned (or at least on purpose) according to Jay Leno
  9. On a Neptune they have a thing refered to as the "fun meter" . Its a horizontal line under the digital altitude that gets shorter as you approach 3000 feet. When the "fun meter" is empty you are at or below 3000'. "Where troubles melt like lemon drops, away above the chimney tops, that's where you'll find me" Dorothy
  10. Not sure what we're supposed to check out.... What is the replacement? "Where troubles melt like lemon drops, away above the chimney tops, that's where you'll find me" Dorothy
  11. I love some of the headlines - Google is fun! "Cheney hunts quail and everyone else ducks" "Cheney steps up war on lawyers" "Don't Shoot, I'm Just an Attorney" "Dick Cheney´s Friendly Fire" "From Dan Quayle to Damn Quail!" "Dick Cheney bags a lawyer on a shooting trip" "Cheney Accidentally Bags Lawyer Out Of Season" "Cheney's no dead-eye Dick" "Where troubles melt like lemon drops, away above the chimney tops, that's where you'll find me" Dorothy
  12. That's why I wear camo when I hunt. It seems stupid people love to shoot at orange stuff, I'm always amazed at how many people get hit wearing blaze orange! "Where troubles melt like lemon drops, away above the chimney tops, that's where you'll find me" Dorothy
  13. I don't know what took me so long to remember the solution to this: Opening a dropzone in Canada is the same as getting a business worth $1 Million. First, you start with $10 Million...
  14. I'm surprised Haliburton didn't get the bid! "Where troubles melt like lemon drops, away above the chimney tops, that's where you'll find me" Dorothy
  15. He's on the "left" coast. They barely get snow over there. Cold weather would stop them in their tracks! I can just imagine.... "Oh WOW man, how do you sniff this kind of snow?"
  16. It's still an aircraft. Trust me, I have worked around these things for the past 15 years. the pilots have license awarded to them byt the FAA after meetig requirements and taking test and check rides. Who said anything about a pilot. Very good. How do you suppose that the thing gets airborn? Even if the pilot isn't in the baket. With a tethered balloon couldn't one just winch it down? Don't need no stinking pilot "Where troubles melt like lemon drops, away above the chimney tops, that's where you'll find me" Dorothy
  17. Here is some reading - the legal system actually has opinions on this: http://marriage.about.com/od/rings/a/ringreturn.htm http://www.nolo.com/article.cfm/catId/F896EE61-B80C-4FE1-B1687AC0F07903BA/objectId/E2120B2B-1C65-4E77-92A0ADC4FA3EDC2A/118/304/ART/ http://www.staffordlawyer.com/DynamicContentPage_2.shtml "Where troubles melt like lemon drops, away above the chimney tops, that's where you'll find me" Dorothy
  18. Of course you might want to check the regulations that apply to you as a member of BPA. You can probably start here: http://www.bpa.org.uk Edit to add - There is a section on re-currency in this manual: http://www.bpa.org.uk/training%20manuals/AFF%20MANUAL.doc "Where troubles melt like lemon drops, away above the chimney tops, that's where you'll find me" Dorothy

  20. Simple - do the test somewhere other than in the USA. From what I understand (notice the fudge factor language), Canada has far less regulation of skydiving than the USA. Other countries probably have even less. "Where troubles melt like lemon drops, away above the chimney tops, that's where you'll find me" Dorothy
  21. I suggest you get in touch with CSPA and start your investigation there. http://www.cspa.ca/ "Where troubles melt like lemon drops, away above the chimney tops, that's where you'll find me" Dorothy
  22. I suppose, but I really don't want to get rid of her. We have a role reversal here. I don't want my kid to yell at me. That's what happens when they get bigger--they pay back all the discipline of their childhood. When I'm really old, I'm going to hide in a cave somewhere so she can't tell me what to do. rl Remember you have to be nice to your kids becuase they're the ones that pick which old folks home you end up in. You don't want to get "nurse Rachet"... "Where troubles melt like lemon drops, away above the chimney tops, that's where you'll find me" Dorothy
  23. Oh - they're not that bad - stuff that us old guys smile about. So if you're around skydivers and you catch them looking at you and smiling, know that they are just remembering something your mother said! "Where troubles melt like lemon drops, away above the chimney tops, that's where you'll find me" Dorothy
  24. Heck, I'm in Canada and I've never jumped any further south than Montana and I know the stories
  25. The flaming asswipe searched for web pages containing "skydiving" and sent mail to all of the e-mail addresses contained in those pages. Bounce all mail from anyone at argus-aad.com and don't worry about it. Are you sure of this? As I stated above my email is on the Alti-2 Field Service page and I've yet to get an email from them. If they had indeed done this email harvesting you say wouldn't I have been sent an email too? "Where troubles melt like lemon drops, away above the chimney tops, that's where you'll find me" Dorothy
