  1. I agree, it seems low. But I'd assume you lied on the part about having extra-marital relationships. Does your wife read this forum? "For once you have tasted Absinthe you will walk the earth with your eyes turned towards the gutter, for there you have been and there you will long to return."
  2. Things will change eventually. They have to. Reactionnary forces can only delay but not stop what is the inevitable. This country was built partially on the respect of individual freedom. I'm sorry you have to go through all that bullshit. Your time will come. Again. "For once you have tasted Absinthe you will walk the earth with your eyes turned towards the gutter, for there you have been and there you will long to return."
  3. Good catchy soundbite. But you are assimilating Bush and the US as being perceived as one entity, which I thinkis incorrect. I think there is lots of love towards the US around the world. The man is another issue. "For once you have tasted Absinthe you will walk the earth with your eyes turned towards the gutter, for there you have been and there you will long to return."
  4. Right here: I'm outraged! It's very likely "they" knew about it before you even did. "They" just didn't post it on dz.com. Agreed. There are assholes everywhere. Some gun down film makers, others gun down abortion clinic employees. Get rid of them all. "For once you have tasted Absinthe you will walk the earth with your eyes turned towards the gutter, for there you have been and there you will long to return."
  5. ...a raclette would be a little more useful! "For once you have tasted Absinthe you will walk the earth with your eyes turned towards the gutter, for there you have been and there you will long to return."
  6. DONE No camera, but indeed naked in my living room! Here, I'll flash the cars stuck in traffic in front of my place "For once you have tasted Absinthe you will walk the earth with your eyes turned towards the gutter, for there you have been and there you will long to return."
  7. I'm ready... "For once you have tasted Absinthe you will walk the earth with your eyes turned towards the gutter, for there you have been and there you will long to return."
  8. It would still be immoral to have an affair if you're married, unless you get your wife involved (PS: I'm good at shooting video) "For once you have tasted Absinthe you will walk the earth with your eyes turned towards the gutter, for there you have been and there you will long to return."
  9. I'll take either one. As long as the fundamentalists go as well as the fundamental issues "For once you have tasted Absinthe you will walk the earth with your eyes turned towards the gutter, for there you have been and there you will long to return."
  10. I truly hope you're right. But I think you may be claiming victory a little prematurely. The whole "Mission Accomplished" thing is quite overrated these days. "For once you have tasted Absinthe you will walk the earth with your eyes turned towards the gutter, for there you have been and there you will long to return."
  11. 5 "For once you have tasted Absinthe you will walk the earth with your eyes turned towards the gutter, for there you have been and there you will long to return."
  12. ...when one is going through DZ.com post #1000? Will I get pied? Naked post? Hummmm... Please enlighten me "For once you have tasted Absinthe you will walk the earth with your eyes turned towards the gutter, for there you have been and there you will long to return."
  13. You make it sound like it's a bad thing "For once you have tasted Absinthe you will walk the earth with your eyes turned towards the gutter, for there you have been and there you will long to return."
  14. Let it die, she said "For once you have tasted Absinthe you will walk the earth with your eyes turned towards the gutter, for there you have been and there you will long to return."
  15. Agreed with all the above. Dropping 'shrooms actually makes for a better laugh. And the planet looks a lot cooler and friendlier when it rushes towards you in its full sparkle. And since it IS the Bonfire:
  16. I'm a total newbie as well. But bottom line, when it's time: YOU DON'T GIVE A SHIT! (at least the first time, IMHO) You end up with them or you don't. I was told to throw them away. When I had my cut away, I remember clearly the silver being gone right away, but the CU cables still being dangling around near my head. Didn't care, and by the time I landed, the cables were gone (both handles never to be found again...). And the handles were (and still are) the least of my worries... "For once you have tasted Absinthe you will walk the earth with your eyes turned towards the gutter, for there you have been and there you will long to return."
  17. dito on the X-Key thread. I would talk to someone (S&TA, Manifest, etc...) about it. There is more than their own safety involved IMHO; that includes the other jumpers, the pilot, and anyone (like in the X-Key incident) that would witness someone crashing into their backyard. The sport in itself includes enough risks without having to add stupid behavior. One can do everything right and still die, so there's no excuse to do something stupid and risk other people's lives doing so. This thread should probably be moved to a "lower" forum soon...
  18. Hmmm... I am sure it has been done before, but I'd love to hear from someone who actually had to do that. Must be tricky, especially once one riser has been cut off and you are hanging from the other one... And why not take it a step further and kill 2 birds with one stone: Don't pull anything, so you can test the cypress AND the reserve. Sorry if I come across as a smart ass (and I definitely not mean this to be taken personally), but the fact one would mention a potential mal on the reserve (which we all know can and does happen) makes it a bad idea to even think of going silver for no good reason. The PD plan seems like a much better one in my opinion. My very inexperienced opinion. "For once you have tasted Absinthe you will walk the earth with your eyes turned towards the gutter, for there you have been and there you will long to return."
  19. With Cheney next in line, GWB is probably pretty safe. "For once you have tasted Absinthe you will walk the earth with your eyes turned towards the gutter, for there you have been and there you will long to return."
  20. Rev, Didn't you read what the lady wrote? Let t h e t hr e a d die "For once you have tasted Absinthe you will walk the earth with your eyes turned towards the gutter, for there you have been and there you will long to return."
  21. 1 in 63 jumps. Not sure why the "top tiers" of the community is exempt from voting though... "For once you have tasted Absinthe you will walk the earth with your eyes turned towards the gutter, for there you have been and there you will long to return."
  22. Promise? "For once you have tasted Absinthe you will walk the earth with your eyes turned towards the gutter, for there you have been and there you will long to return."
  23. You're back, uh? I thought I had stalked you out of DZ.com for good "For once you have tasted Absinthe you will walk the earth with your eyes turned towards the gutter, for there you have been and there you will long to return."
  24. A leading French newspaper conducted a survey a couple of weeks ago, asking people what their view was of America. Around 80% of respondents stated they liked the US, around the same number stated they liked American, and a similar percentage stated they did not like the current US foreign policy actions. I think simplifying to the "they don't like us" rethoric is missing the point. In my personal experience, the figures that came back from the survey are pretty accurate. I'll admit there are people who dislike Americans, much like there are Americans who dislike the French (or other nationalities). But the current feeling of animosity is due mostly I believe to the US actions in the middle east. "For once you have tasted Absinthe you will walk the earth with your eyes turned towards the gutter, for there you have been and there you will long to return."
