What is going on this past August*** Pure speculation, as I do not have the data from previous years. But August may be the peak of skydiving season (except for the Southwest), all dropzones cranking... But what do I know. "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."

You can all have a beer on my tab! You just have to get out to Perris. *** See you on Saturday. I'll be at the counter by Sunrise... "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."

OK, you're off the hook then... "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."

1/5 ABSINTHE, 4/5 WATER, POURED OVER SUGAR Seriously, did you take a whiff at pure absinthe? What was the alcohol content? "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."

See Algeria circa 1992. Well, hopefully not... "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."

Out of 8 AFF landings, I stood up 5, landed 1 on my ass, and PLF'd 2. But on almost all the ones I stood up, I was prepared to PLF. I'd rather PLF a landing I could have stood up than hitting hard trying to stand up a bad landing. "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."

only relying on a wire that has not been tested in that configuration to any type of standard Scary thought What's the story? "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."

You need to live in the district you represent and you need a place to live in DC. *** Isn't the DC residence compliments of taxpayers? Along with travel expenses between your district & DC? "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."

This thread is SOOOOOOO being monitored by the FBI right now!!! "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."

I do let their 17 year old daughter and her friends swim in my pool whenever they want though*** Uh... who's doing whom a favor??? "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."

nice, gotta come to Perris and try some of your stuff*** Anytime... "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."

how do you drink it Frenchy, I do it several ways... with water like pastis with sugar flamed in a spoon with absinth, and then just cul-sec... *** 90% of the time like pastis, and I pour the water on a sugar cube (using the absinthe spoon). 10% of the time sugar flamed. And since I drink the 89,9° one, never cul-sec "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."

And tomorrow I'll be posting stupid poetry on here... about green fairies and stuf*** Forget tomorrow.

After looking at that I wonder who the DZO/Pilot was that let that happen? *** Don't know for sure, but I would assume it was shot at Eloy with the Skydive AZ gang. What he performs is essentially a stunt, and with the proper permits, there's nothing illegal with what he did. Sure looks cool 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."

I doubt I could even stomach enough of it to feel anything. *** It tastes very much like pastis. Incidentally, Pernod and Ricard, the 2 biggest Pastis brands, started as Absinthe distillers (and reconverted into pastis when absinthe was banned in France). "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."

We took a straight shot last year after Natonals and it took us about 15 minutes to figure out if we were going to puke! *** Dude, absinthe can be up to 180 proof! If you drink it straight, you might as well sip gasoline... Pretty lethal. "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."

And does it make your tummy hurt? (That's what I'm afraid of... 'cause it smells pretty gross.) *** Never had any problems. Hell, never had any hangover from it either! But it does smell like shit, and tastes like shit too if you don't add water and sugar... "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."

Jennings/Gasson various insanities "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."

There is a difference between the truth and what actually happend with France as far as Iraq went. THe truth is, Chiraq (sp?) went out of his way tho make the US job more difficult than it had to be. It is not like he simply disagreed and said... "Have fun. Good luck" He consirped with many countries to try and block the US from going to Iraq. That is much different than the innocent story you tell. Also, there is strong evidence that that France had some very convienent financial deals with Iraq many of them not even Legal. This seems to explain why France was so anti-Iraqi war. The french stood to loose a great deal. Not for nothing, call me a racist or what ever, but I do NOT trust the French. Never have, never will. As arrogant as they think we americans are, I see them as twice as bad. *** The main reason Chirac actively opposed the war in Iraq is due to one basic things: 10% of the population is muslim. Therefore, France could NOT let the conflict happen unless it could justify it to its people. And France felt that there wasn't conclusive evidence that Iraq still had WMDs (since at the time, it was THE reason behind the intervention). When the reason behind an intervention is clear cut, such as the Gulf War or Afghanistan, the French do get involve, as they can justify to its population the need for involvement. Much like the US would be very reticent at miving into Israel because of its large jewish community. As for the financial interst France had in Iraq: it is definitely a fact. France was making $ with Iraq. However, once it became clear that the US would go in (before the UN Security Council face off, I should add), France stood out to lose more by opposing the war than by supporting it. So I do not believe it was much of a factor. As for your distrust of the French: just make sure I'm never on your load "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."

hey frenchy, ever tried the swiss stuff ??? no, not the one which now is legal, some of the homemade ones...*** NOW YOU'RE TALKING! No, I have never tried it, but since it comes from there, I'd give a limb to try it... Got any leads? I'll be Europe next month. "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."
