  1. An ombudsman is sort of a mediator kind of guy. Some of the bigger papers still have them. The paper pays his salary, but he's independent of it. When complaints reach his level, he considers them, then gives the newspaper a course of action to take -- nothing, a correction, a front-page apology, etc. Skydiving is for cool people only
  2. NO!!! Then a deluge of ESPN-watching whuffos would start spamming the forums. Anyway, congrats Michele. All very cool stuff.
  3. Chuckie, you may only call me that when you have witnessed me face-down in the dirt, still clutching my beer. So probably by next Sunday? Skydiving is for cool people only
  4. THANK YOU Lisa. That's been bugging me for a million years. My rule on correcting the writing of others here on dz.com is that I generally only do it if the guilty party has made snide remarks about the writing ability of someone else. Otherwise, I'd be too busy to enjoy myself. Anyway, I make enough mistakes that I ought not be touting myself as grammar-error-free. True dat. Tell it, sister. Skydiving is for cool people only
  5. Hmm. Maybe I'll bring a costume, too. Skydiving is for cool people only
  6. You know, I never checked that out and always meant to, because Peter Bagge, one of my favorite writers and cartoonists was a regular contributer. Do you remember his stuff? Skydiving is for cool people only
  7. Wow, Sunshine. Do you need some Midol? Muahahahahah!!! Skydiving is for cool people only
  8. Actually, honey chile, there are more women then men on this planet, and majority rules, therefore, the, er, "chics" are sane and the guys are nuts. Skydiving is for cool people only
  9. Unfortunately, there's a direct correlation between my crankiness and the amount of pompous and sexist bullshit I encounter. So keep your Midol. Anyway, it's my impression that you need it more than I do. Indeed. Skydiving is for cool people only

  13. Punctuation inside quote marks, please. Now everyone lay off. I find Phree's chronic misspelling kind of...dangerous. Growl. Skydiving is for cool people only
  14. Can someone who gets the dead-tree Trib let us know what kind of play this got? Cover of Metro? Buried inside? Skydiving is for cool people only
  15. Your bitch punk ass better be there RIGHT NOW. Otherwise.... HULK SMASH !! Well, no, not really. My anger tends to take another form altogether. Skydiving is for cool people only

  20. Well done, guys. (I didn't edit this, had nothing to do with it.) http://news.mysanantonio.com/story.cfm?xla=saen&xlb=180&xlc=762381&xld=180 Skydiving is for cool people only
  21. When I first started jumping, I would completely gear up and practice floating exits off the back of the sofa. No worse than singing in the shower, I think. Skydiving is for cool people only

  23. I agree. Six deaths at one recreational facility in the space of a year is newsworthy, like it or not. The skydiver in me wishes it hadn't been written, simply because of the negative attention it's going to attract, but the journalist in me would have been very surprised if the story had been ignored.

  24. I don't do a lot of organized 4-way. I'm just talking in general terms. Thanks for the tips and PMs guys. I'll give them a try when I get out there...tomorrow, maybe. Skydiving is for cool people only
  25. I have two mean parrots who will maul people at my whim. I'm bringing them. Skydiving is for cool people only
