  1. I load mine between 1.55 and 1.6 depending on if I'm wearing pizzas or not. Shit happens. And it usually happens because of physics.
  2. Just shocking! I thought he was much older. The good news is the government is involved. It will take years for this to happen. Funny closing Kapalua. They don't allow turbines in there because it upsets the tourists on Kaanapali. Can't wait to see how upset they are about that ride from Kahului. The two on the Big Island shouldn't affect much. Our fixed wings weren't allowed in there at night because it was considered too dangerous. Also have seen large animals wandering around there. Always a treat on short final. Shit happens. And it usually happens because of physics.
  3. Every fall, as sure as the weather turns cold and the leaves change colors (okay, none of that stuff happens in Florida), federal government employees receive their applications to give to a variety of charities via the Combined Federal Campaign (CFC). I received my book today and am trying to figure out who to give to this year. I am already generously supporting the EWOM&M fund (Ex-Wife Old Milwaukee & Malomar fund, it is tax deductable), but am looking for something else to augment that. Would love to give to JFTC, but it is not listed. Some that are include: The Tailhook Educational Foundation - Mothers telling daughters not to go to Tailhook Conventions? Siamese Cat Rescue Center - Do they turn them away if they are not siamese? Sounds a little too specific. Alley Cat Allies - In case you aren't included in the Siamese rescue? 1 Way Out of Pornography - Buy it all up? Pheasants Forever - Possible upscale supper club? Two that did stand out are the Delta Research and Educational Foundation (41.8% of all donations go to Admin and Overhead) and the National Fallen Firefighters Foundation (0.2% of all donations go to Admin and Overhead). The yin and yang of efficiency in the charity arena. Right now I am leaning toward giving it all to Helping Hands: Monkey Helpers for the Disabled. Always wanted to buy a monkey. Anyone want to make a pitch for their favorite charity? Shit happens. And it usually happens because of physics.

    Beer Question

    Did Sebazz leave his computer logged on and the infamous Levin post this? Shit happens. And it usually happens because of physics.
  5. Thanks for the post, Viking. I am totally depressed now. Angelina Jolie was born the day I graduated from "college". I think I'll go see if the overhead pipes in my office will support my weight. Shit happens. And it usually happens because of physics.

    Word of the Day

    Old Joke: Man walks into a pharmacy owned by two spinster sisters. He asks, "What can you give me for a priaprism?" After conferring, they agreed on $1000 and half interest in the pharmacy. Shit happens. And it usually happens because of physics.

    Word of the Day

    Can you look ahead and tell me when the Word of the Day will be Priaprism? Seems that would be appropriate for this group...or at least half of us. Shit happens. And it usually happens because of physics.
  8. Really? Even when he says stuff like this? Okay, maybe you're right. Shit happens. And it usually happens because of physics.
  9. The State of South Carolina is planning to introduce a new TV series called "Survivor, South Carolina Style." The decision was in response to the continuation, by a major cable network, of their popular Survivor series. The contestants will start in Easley, travel south through Powdersville, down to Pelzer and Piedmont, then continue to Lower Anderson straight to Iva, continuing to Abbeville and Antreville. They will then proceed to Due West, on to Ninety Six and Saluda back towards Honea Path/Belton, all by secondary roads while consuming several quantities of Papst Blue Ribbon beer. Each will be driving a Gremlin (without a muffler) with a large sign on each door that reads, "I'M GAY, I VOTED FOR AL GORE, I'M IN AN INTERRACIAL RELATIONSHIP, I'M HERE TO CONFISCATE YOUR GUNS AND DALE EARNHARDT WAS QUEER." The first one to make it back to Easley alive wins! Shit happens. And it usually happens because of physics.
  10. So what's it like to jump with all those clothes on? How come no picture with you wearing your helmet and doing that imitation of Gazoo from the Flintstones? Where's gravitysurf808? How come the picture didn't show you from the waist down? Muddy? Why didn't you come to Florida? Shit happens. And it usually happens because of physics.
  11. If we can confirm it was a state-sponsored act of terrorism, roll hot with nails. Otherwise, continue the course. Shit happens. And it usually happens because of physics.
  12. Philosophical question: Where would they sit if you just wore a Santa mask? What's a Zoo Jump? Shit happens. And it usually happens because of physics.
  13. I have heard that 3M TA3 also has a subliminal msg, but I can neither confirm nor deny this. Shit happens. And it usually happens because of physics.
  14. Always stow the brakes. I leave it unpacked after the last jump on Sunday and then, in order to remain in touch with my skydiver self, I pack it on Wednesday or Thursday night. At that time, I unwind my brake lines and do a "relatively" thorough inspection. At least it's air conditioned in my packing room (the wife calls it a "living room"). Shit happens. And it usually happens because of physics.

    MILK!

    What about, "No way the guy can get tapped for the 2:00 AM feeding?" That's just wrong, isn't it? I feel really bad. Shit happens. And it usually happens because of physics.
  16. I was in NYC when President Clinton came in one day for supper. Imagine shutting down the FDR at rush hour. Saw the same thing in New Orleans when W's daddy came in one night for a dinner at Tulane. The President visiting your town is definitely not a good thing. Shit happens. And it usually happens because of physics.
  17. I wouldn't blame her. If you know this far in advance that that is what you want to do, and you haven't save up the money for it, what does that say about your money handling skills? I am still feeling the pain of being burned in my first marriage. I will keep my individual account for now. Maybe I will mellow, but I will never again have the same level of trust that I did.
  18. If it just filters out Email with "penis" and "enlargement" in the subject line, it should cut my spam in half.
  19. Anyone recognize that tattoo? Shit happens. And it usually happens because of physics.

    LEVIN!!!!

    Didn't he enable someone to come out of the closet without their knowledge, too? Shit happens. And it usually happens because of physics.
  21. Back in the 90's, that is how they celebrated Presidents Day...at least in the oval office. Shit happens. And it usually happens because of physics.

    my best joke

    And, you can only fit three fingers in a bowling ball. Shit happens. And it usually happens because of physics.

    Where to go???

    Lake Wales has stuff going on during that time and, I think, Z-Hills does, too. Shit happens. And it usually happens because of physics.
  24. Didn't forget 'em, but they sure didn't work. And I have the scars to prove it. Truly a simpler time. Shit happens. And it usually happens because of physics.

    landing off

    Jumped in Hawaii a while back. Loaded my canopy a little higher than everyone else loaded their's. Figured at 1000 feet I might make it back, or I might not. Decided to take the only out around (if you've been there, you know it was the beach next to the Polo Field). Everyone else made it back. Returned to snickers all around. Yep, I got a nice little swoop of the waterline, drug a toe through the sand, and landed at the nude beach (it was empty). What was I thinking? Shit happens. And it usually happens because of physics.
