    Haiku ;)

    Life is now complete; everyone associates Haiku, Jessica Here's my favorite work-related haiku, by my friend Ted: Deadline has passed Your pages have not cleared. Anguished screaming. Please note the effectiveness of the above lines, though they are not written in 5-7-5. Feel free to adapt the flowing fluidity of haiku in whatever form your muse insists.

    My Rantoul Story

    If they weren't sleeping off hangovers, they were glued to the party tent, showing gullible women the hawk part from Norman Kent's "Willing to Fly" and saying, "That's me!" Skydiving is for cool people only
  6. Was it down by the river? The van, I mean. Skydiving is for cool people only
  7. 1. Nope 2. Apartment Thanks guys. I'll make some calls when I get to work. Skydiving is for cool people only
  8. I gave written notice to the management company on Aug. 15, and I'll be officially out of my place on Sept. 15. All within the terms of my lease. So today I get this message from the company that handles the leasing of my place (not the management company but some kind of subcontractor) from this bitchy woman who leased me the place in the first place. "Just wanted to give you a heads-up, I'll be showing your apartment starting immediately. I'll always knock first!" UH. Can she do that? I'm still paying rent here! And my lease says NOTHING remotely implying that random people can waltz through here while I'm still paying (huge amounts of) rent, and my lease isn't even up yet! Hmph! Someone help me! I'm inclined to call her up and say, "Sure, but I'm in the middle of moving, so the place is trashed, and I doubt anyone would want it if they saw it in this condition. Also I smeared blood all over the walls." Skydiving is for cool people only

  10. I don't know who they are, but that guy -- hubba hubba! The girl looks kind of mean...the kind of girl you don't want to fuck with, if you catch my drift. She also looks like she just got out of the shower and has pajamas on. Let's hope you don't ever meet her in a dark alley, "Rev." Skydiving is for cool people only
  11. There's a photo of me in the pub. Please direct inquiries there. Skydiving is for cool people only
  12. I'll go ahead and comfirm that, and also add an "extremely!" for emphasis. Skydiving is for cool people only
  13. 1 Tommy Lee Jones sighting in the bookstore:0:0 I shit you not, I was coming down the stairs at Borders on Saturday and I heard this loud voice that sounded kind of familiar, but I couldn't place it. I got down to the first level and saw this craggy-faced dude wearing a baseball cap and sunglasses talking to someone at the information desk. It sounded like he was demanding a New York Times. I gawked for a minute, then went to check out. "I think Tommy Lee Jones is over there!" I told the cashier. He looked, then said, "Oh yeah, he comes in here all the time." Crazy. I guess I knew he lived around here, but I forgot. Otherwise, I was still too wiped from WFFC to do much this weekend besides work. Skydiving is for cool people only

  15. Hey, quit helping to sell my plane. Skydiving is for cool people only
  16. Yeah, I've been hassled for the weight vest, too. They assumed it was exercise equipment though. Har! Check the weight vest. It looks BAD in an x-ray machine. Skydiving is for cool people only
  17. We've discussed this at length in the past; run a search. There's some really good advice archived. I've carried on my rig on 6 or 8 separate flights in the last year or so, and security has completely ignored it, cypres or no. I've had them rummage through my backpack, do a complete pat-down on me, and show no interest in the gear bag. Tips: pack it in a gear bag; don't wear skydiving clothes; if asked, tell them the cypres "opens the reserve parachute." Don't tell them how. Skydiving is for cool people only
  18. In a world of 6 billion people, I'm sure there are at least a couple who are a lot like me...but.... 1) I'm dating PhreeZone
  19. No...he informed the table at large at Friday's once. Those were some monster Long Island Iced Teas. Skydiving is for cool people only
  20. Hmm, what's unique about Spy38W. He has pretty gear. He is comfortable taking off his goggles in freefall. He's "easy" when he drinks. How's that? Skydiving is for cool people only
  21. Well, if you're dead set on a jumpsuit, and it sounds like you are, why does it have to be a "custom Tony suit"? That's $300 or more. I think with the exchange rate for the Australian dollar, Tad's suits (www.tads.com.au) start at around $150 right now, or surely there's a used suit out there that would fit you.

  22. I'd drive four hours for Cessnas if I didn't have my A license and someone offered me coach jumps for beer! Skydiving is for cool people only
  23. I have a piercing question, so I bumped this thread back up. I lost my tongue ring the other night (long story), and the next day the only place I could get any kind of barbell was at a place where the club kids get their crappy body jewelry. So I currently have glow-in-the dark jewelry that says "Super Bitch" on the top. Anyway, I wanna go get real jewelry again, but I originally had a 12-gauge piercing, and the only thing I could get right away was a 14-gauge. Can I get a 12-gauge back in there without trouble? I'll call the piercer tomorrow, but I'm just wondering if I'm stuck with a 14-gauge from now on. I know there are stretching techniques, but I'd prefer to do this with minimal pain.

  24. Yay! It's misogyny a-go-go on dz.com!!! Oh, I'm sorry. I must be getting my period.
