Lindercles

I had a difference of 20, which according to their scoring is "excellent."

Ok, I'll bite, but how is the test scored? 15 Box of matches (no oxygen on the moon) 6 Food concentrate (important, but less important than water) 7 50 feet of nylon rope (can be used for any number of things) 8 Parachute silk (shelter?) 10 Solar-powered portable heating unit (useless on the dark side of the moon) 13 Two .45­caliber pistols (to shoot what?) 11 One case of dehydrated milk (not much more useful than plain water) 2 Two 100-pound tanks of oxygen (needed to survive, and is that 100 earth pounds?) 3 Stellar map (of the moon's constellations) (navigation) 9 Self-inflating life raft (no water on the moon, may be used for shelter) 12 Magnetic compass (no magetic field on the moon, useless) 1 5 gallons of water (necessary to survive) 14 Signal flares (no oxygen on the moon, won't burn) 4 First-aid kit containing injection needles (not sure what kind of needles or what else is in the kit, but maybe be useful) 5 Solar-powered FM receiver-transmitter (only useful on the light side, but can be used to contact mother ship) Edited to add reasons.

I'm sure it's there to control something, but somehow I doubt it's the weather...

Did somebody say Temple Labor Day Boogie???

That's where I'll be. And several other dz.commers as well. They'll have a PAC and a Caravan. San Marcos is having a boogie as well, a little closer to SA. They'll have an Otter and a Caravan.

Are you coming to any of the Labor Day boogies in the area?

Or does your child look like your pet?

At that point you inform them of their options, then show them where the tandem harnesses are and offer to let them put one on and jump out anyway.

Oh great, now I really look like a perv!

Hubba Hubba! Better delete that one before it starts making its rounds around the internet!

I don't think I'm quite understanding exactly what you guys are talking about. I think we need some pics for clarification.

In a thread about guy cards, this is a very dangerous statement to make...

And they WILL get video. The only way to make sure they don't is to lie to everyone and tell them you're doing a high pull so you can get out last. But seeing as how that could potentially put people in danger, I wouldn't recommend it. In short, you're screwed.

I call bullshit on that one. There's absolutely nothing wrong with being clean shaven. Especially if it helps you get laid.

Generally speaking, questionable actions that will help you get laid will allow you to keep your guy card. Holding your mother's, sister's, or some random woman's purse will definitely get it revoked. The girlfriend's is acceptable. Just don't let anyone see you.

Already Saved. Saved. Saved.

The last time I ate old pizza my face didn't look nearly that good. Maybe that should be your new nickname. What's up ol' pizza face?!

If you can run fast enough, you can get out of 3 of the 4 of those without the alarm.

What happened to MadagASScar?

Thanks Jeff. I went back and found the transcript of that show. Considering it happened in June of 2003, one month before my first tandem, I had no idea that it even happened, much less the impact it apparently had on the community. Edit: Even still, I wouldn't change anything I've said in this thread, except possibly to add a few more negative descritpors about him.

Sorry for the thread hijack. I had no idea the can of worms I was opening.

Like I said, he is a lot of things. He's certainly an asshole. Judgemental, critical, prone to exaggeration, even ignorant. But none of those equate to stupidity. He knows what his fan base wants, knows exactly how to give it to them, and doesn't mind stooping to all of the above to provide it. And he has a hell of a lot of fans and a hell of a lot of money for exactly that reason. It may be unethical, but it's pretty smart if you ask me.

Good point. I naturally have bad posture because I've spent my whole life slouching down to look people in the eye. It can be difficult to do, but I've found very few situations in which my problems with my height can't be remedied by better posture.

Jim Rome is a lot of things, most of which are justifiably criticizable, but stupid is not one of them.

For fans of Jim Rome that one's been a staple for quite a while now.
