  1. Saw Troy Hartman jump one during his MTV show. Looked like fun to me. Shit happens. And it usually happens because of physics.
  2. A guy,lying about size? Never! Shit happens. And it usually happens because of physics.

    Tipping

    What do waiters think of people who tip 15% on credit cards? Or tipping on credit cards at all. Should you tip more because it will be reported or should you consider it as just part of the base tip reported to the IRS anyway? I once tipped a rude "stewardess" because I thought she would be offended. She was. The "stewardess" comment didn't sit well, either. Shit happens. And it usually happens because of physics.
  6. I'm using Pinnacle Studio 8. Relatively inexpensive, lets you turn out a good product with little effort, and when you want to add additional features, all you have to do is look it up in the book. I try to learn one new technique or feature each time. Got it on EBay. Shit happens. And it usually happens because of physics.
  7. Lips get tired? Shit happens. And it usually happens because of physics.
  8. "Pull up your pants, turn your hat around, and get a job." P. J. O'Rourke's advice to the next generation. I am proud to be an American because we can supersize everything, including Anna Nicole Smith. Shit happens. And it usually happens because of physics.
  9. Doesn't sound even remotely funny to me. Best wishes and hardcore, baby. Shit happens. And it usually happens because of physics.

    Howard Stern

    These guys are two of the biggest. They manage to squeeze about 15 minutes worth of material into 4 hours. But they really love themselves. Shit happens. And it usually happens because of physics.
  11. Did a beach landing on Oahu last week (Long, bad spot. No, really!) so I'll be there to relive the experience. Round, Meeker, Donut, Bipole Shit happens. And it usually happens because of physics.
  12. I was eating pizza and drinking beer when it came on. Definitely the hat trick for a non-jumping Saturday. Very well done by all concerned. Whuffo family members were highly impressed. Great video shown, too. Shit happens. And it usually happens because of physics.
  13. Speaked English Good Shit happens. And it usually happens because of physics.
  14. Anyone remember the Soviet Union from post-WWII through 1989? The 14 characteristics are: 1.. Powerful and Continuing Nationalism; Rampant drug use and skirting of the rules (hockey teams comprised solely of "military" members) to ensure USSR athletes on the podiums at the Olympics. The only ones who consistently beat the USSR were the East German "women". 2.. Disdain for the Recognition of Human Rights; Remember gulags? 3.. Identification of Enemies/Scapegoats as a Unifying Cause; The evi influences of western nations 4.. Supremacy of the Military; More tanks and men than we get ever hope for. 5.. Rampant Sexism; Let's name some of those famous Soviet women leaders. Anyone come up with someone, yet? 6.. Controlled Mass Media; Let's see, there was Pravda and... 7.. Obsession with National Security; Fear is used as a motivation tool by the government over the masses. (Don't even have to change that one.) 8.. Religion and Government are Intertwined; I got nothing here. 9.. Corporate Power is Protected; Status quo was maintained with little or no outside competition. 10.. Labor Power is Suppressed; Fewer unions in the USSR than in the USA. Gotta give the nod to Ivan on this one. 11.. Disdain for Intellectuals and the Arts; Fascist nations tend to promote and tolerate open hostility to higher education, and academia. One out of four engineers put to death when the construction of a railroad was delayed. How many winners of the Nobel Prize were refused the right to accept it from current fascist nations? 12.. Obsession with Crime and Punishment; So infamous they even wrote a book about it. But seriously, do you think the travel industry booked all those people to Siberia? 13.. Rampant Cronyism and Corruption; The Western presses could call the next leaders before the elections even happened. Wasn't Stalin Krushcev's sugar daddy? 14.. Fraudulent Elections; See thirteen above. Seems to me that the former USSR fits the mold very well in 12 of the 14 categories. And I'm sure that anyone with a BA could probably make a pretty good case for the other two. The hard part, I think would be to prove that Monaco or the Vatican were Fascist states. Although the Vatican does have that religious thing going for it, and all that imported help from Switzerland, hmmmm Shit happens. And it usually happens because of physics.
  15. I thought everyone knew you never jump something smaller than you can afford. Shit happens. And it usually happens because of physics.
  16. Actually, the philosophy which got me through several math courses was, "The sooner you fall behind, the more time you have to catch up." Good luck! Shit happens. And it usually happens because of physics.
  17. All, Very sorry, but due to our recently implemented Work Incentive Program ("Do your job or get fired!") I will have to remove my name from the list of attendees. This was probably my last shot at a boogie until the Hog Flop Boogie with all of its pageantry at Skydive Palatka this fall. Again, sorry for having to pull out before completion. Maybe next year? Shit happens. And it usually happens because of physics.
  18. Currently posting from Hawaii after a week in San Diego. Carried my rig through JAX, Atlanta, San Diego, and HNL with no problems, but after reading this, it might be easier to just chuck it all and stay here. Also had several PC101 batteries in my gear which didn't even slow them down. Will pack them on my check baggage on the way home, if I go. Mahalo for the heads up. Shit happens. And it usually happens because of physics.
  19. I'd have gone with 05 06 10 13 27 29, but what the hell. Vibes and remember, $15M ain't what it use to be. Good luck! Shit happens. And it usually happens because of physics.

    Why me???

    Nope, chick magnets. Shit happens. And it usually happens because of physics.
  21. Can I have Nick Nolte? Shit happens. And it usually happens because of physics.
  22. But the big question is: Who is the Father of Calculus: Leibnitz or Newton? Shit happens. And it usually happens because of physics.
  23. Flew the GPS 23 approach into Deland yesterday for the first time. The initial approach fix for the approach is named "DONGS". I made the following radio calls on two practice approaches: "Just short of DONGS at this time." "Approaching DONGS" "Over DONGS at this time." There is also an intersection named GUANO just north of Deland. Who names these things, frat guys on a Friday night? Shit happens. And it usually happens because of physics.
  24. 1973 - 5 1976-1978 - 110 1998 - Now - 1100 Shit happens. And it usually happens because of physics.
  25. David Arquette? N2SkDvn - Charles Manson Shit happens. And it usually happens because of physics.
