  1. He has four. Four tentacles, four normal limbs. He does hold up the tentacles with his own legs but they do a good job of keeping one or two on the ground when he is doing heavy lifting. Six, like in the comics, would have been to many for their size. "Truth is tough.

  2. Shaw was a lovely base, it was the town that sucked. Why not go back to Germany? I spent 18 months in England, six months in the US and three years in Germany, would have stayed longer but the wife felt we needed to go home and since on that tour I was the dependent I didn't have a lot of choice.

  3. This is why Spam exists. Only a few responses makes thousands of e-mails profitable. "Truth is tough. It will not break, like a bubble, at a touch; nay, you may kick it about all day like a football, and it will be round and full at evening." -- Oliver Wendell Holmes
  4. Not from me. "Truth is tough. It will not break, like a bubble, at a touch; nay, you may kick it about all day like a football, and it will be round and full at evening." -- Oliver Wendell Holmes
  5. This weekend I will be jumping with a jump suit, something I have not done before. It is a "basic" Flite Suit with booties, grips and swoop cords added. I plan on getting an RW coach for the first jump. The idea is that we go out together, they fall nice and stable and it is up to me to get to them, dock, back off, come back in and all of that basic stuff. The idea is that they will be able to tell me what specifics to work on afterwards. Any hints on how much different this is going to be than jumping in a t-shirt and camo (BDU) pants?

  6. Saw it last night. Pretty cool. Excellent effects with Doc Oc's tentacles. Plenty of future bad guys too. Kirsten Dundst is hot! "Truth is tough.

  7. I really don't get the connection between KKK and Democrats. Seems in my Democrat life, child of Republicans, they are diametrically opposed. At least in the last 30 years or so, even here in Texas. Speaking of Texas. If you want a non-union position move on down. Yes we have them but we are a "right to work" state. What a wonderful euphamisim (SP?) for you can quit or we can fire you and non-compete clauses are pretty much unenforceable unless the hiring employer wants to play along. "Truth is tough.

  8. Unless Scumter has changed a lot in the last almost thirty years I would not go there. Been to Edwards once and it is an interesting place. I wouldn't want to live there forever but a few years would probably work. Oh yeah and Vegas is a great place to visit but I wouldn't want to live there. "Truth is tough.

  9. Offer them a job! "Truth is tough. It will not break, like a bubble, at a touch; nay, you may kick it about all day like a football, and it will be round and full at evening." -- Oliver Wendell Holmes
  10. Having worked in the GPS industry from '86 - '96 I have to agree that aquiring new data would be a snap but you are forgetting that we are dealing with a beauracracy here and things always move slow. Also if they are translating large amounts of other data it is simply a matter of waiting in line. I can't tell you how often I have to tell people it will be two months before their admittedly trivial project will be done when the reason is that it will be seven weeks before it comes to the top of my list.

  11. I guess you support all the draft dodgers from all wars? I guess you have never served... Guess what? No one wants to fight. But some DO since they have HONOR...Its not my fault you have none I served. Five years active duty and five years reserve. Enlisted in 1976 when the military was still not very popular. Got out of the reserves after the Gulf War was over because I disagreed with what my government did. I did not get sent to the theater but would have gone had I been. I have advised my 19 year old son to keep his passport handy and plan on what country he would go to if he were to be drafted for this conflict. Disagreeing with the government, protesting the government and even disobeying the government is exactly what this country is about. Without that we might still be fighting in south-east Asia. Honor is not defined as blindly following your government. The best definition for this purpose would be "Principled uprightness of character; personal integrity." One can meet this definition and still dodge the draft as long as one is consistent in there actions. "Truth is tough.

  12. Because racisim is considered a bad thing by a large segment of western society and feminisim is not. "Truth is tough. It will not break, like a bubble, at a touch; nay, you may kick it about all day like a football, and it will be round and full at evening." -- Oliver Wendell Holmes
  13. Thank God for that. "Truth is tough. It will not break, like a bubble, at a touch; nay, you may kick it about all day like a football, and it will be round and full at evening." -- Oliver Wendell Holmes
  14. Get her knickers off and then tell her to fuck off. If you realy want the message to sink in get her knickers off and the tell her off instead of fucking her. "Truth is tough.

  15. Been a while since I have seen you at the DZ, although I only get ther once a month so we could have missed each other. How's the shoulder doing? "Truth is tough. It will not break, like a bubble, at a touch; nay, you may kick it about all day like a football, and it will be round and full at evening." -- Oliver Wendell Holmes
  16. I have not heard Al's show but making Rush look compassionate would be a challenge. "Truth is tough. It will not break, like a bubble, at a touch; nay, you may kick it about all day like a football, and it will be round and full at evening." -- Oliver Wendell Holmes
  17. You are causing confusion in my liberal brain. GWB was against this as GOV., then behind it when he saw it as inevitable, touted it as a candidate and now opposed as president and it would seem you disagree with his current position. Forgive me if I am mistaken but I see you as a Bushie, right or wrong. "Truth is tough. It will not break, like a bubble, at a touch; nay, you may kick it about all day like a football, and it will be round and full at evening." -- Oliver Wendell Holmes

  19. Kallend was pointing out the change in GWB's position not claiming it was GWB's "fault" the ruling happened. "Truth is tough. It will not break, like a bubble, at a touch; nay, you may kick it about all day like a football, and it will be round and full at evening." -- Oliver Wendell Holmes
  20. Disruption of commercial travel, probably but no more than 9/11. Shock to the population's psyche, not nearly like 9/11. That day fully introduced the US to what a large part of the world has been dealing with for years. We now have to accept that we are no safer than anyone else. Downing the plane will be looked at as something regretable but required. The treatment of the surviving family members will make what was done for the 9/11 families look like nothing.

  21. Thanks, I am looking forward to it. "Truth is tough. It will not break, like a bubble, at a touch; nay, you may kick it about all day like a football, and it will be round and full at evening." -- Oliver Wendell Holmes
  22. You have two audiences. Those who understand and agree with you and those who refuse to see the truth. Keep railing against the wind but don't expect much in return. "Truth is tough.

    Everything in life is relative. You tell us after the jam if it was worth eight jumps. edited for crappy typing. "Truth is tough. It will not break, like a bubble, at a touch; nay, you may kick it about all day like a football, and it will be round and full at evening." -- Oliver Wendell Holmes
  24. Well no shit, his first "skydive" was from a crippled aircraft during WWII. It hink that will take the fetal position out of anyone on a fun jump. P.S. I don't even like the guy as a president.
