You a Paine fan too Tuna? Sweet! - Z "Always be yourself... unless you suck." - Joss Whedon

Rebecca!!! **hug** Welcome to the flame fest! Hope ya have your asbestos undies on. - Z "Always be yourself... unless you suck." - Joss Whedon

Umm... no. The movie didn't tell me anything I didn't know (or argue about) already. - Z "Always be yourself... unless you suck." - Joss Whedon

I don't jump in the daytime. - Z "Always be yourself... unless you suck." - Joss Whedon

I'm Utah..... Johnny Utah. - Z "Always be yourself... unless you suck." - Joss Whedon

We're watching... always watching. I've managed to sneak a boobie reference in on occasion... within the context of discussion of course. And ya Anvil, I agree ya shouldn't have been booted. I mean, what good is a political discussion without a bit of namecalling thrown in? - Z "Always be yourself... unless you suck." - Joss Whedon

What's great about Faber's writing is he writes exactly the way I would expect him to talk. Writing with an accent, so to speak. Nasty bruise Faber. Hope you heal up quick. - Z "Always be yourself... unless you suck." - Joss Whedon

Rollovers, unders, wads, TARDs are technically not BASE jumps. The rule (I believe) is that the jump must be made from a packed container... not sure where a DB would fit into that. That said.. I still put rollovers in my log book. - Z "Always be yourself... unless you suck." - Joss Whedon

I've also seen estimates as high as 220. Da Vinci estimates are all over the place, but in my mind, given everything he accomplished is probably the smartest person to walk the earth. YMMV - Z "Always be yourself... unless you suck." - Joss Whedon

When I looked at the scores I knew this couldn't be legit. Somebody obviously doesn't understand how insanely high those numbers are. Here's a list of IQ scores and their occurrence percentages. 135 is 99th percentile, just to give you an idea. - Z "Always be yourself... unless you suck." - Joss Whedon

No. You have a link? - Z "Always be yourself... unless you suck." - Joss Whedon

Mainly the socialist rantings of Kennedy & Co... socialized medicine, taxtaxtax, create this program that program and the other program... the Government will solve all ills. Voting for Kerry is also voting for big government. I can't do it... I just can't do it. - Z "Always be yourself... unless you suck." - Joss Whedon

I wish more Republicans thought like I do as well. - Z "Always be yourself... unless you suck." - Joss Whedon

As far as Iraq goes, probably not. We're already there and about all you can do at this point is make the best of a bad situation. The main difference, I think, is that Kerry wouldn't have the self-righteous "screw the world" attitude that Dubya & Co have. He might actually try an build a coalition first rather than just go storming in wherever hepleases. - Z "Always be yourself... unless you suck." - Joss Whedon

Originally my plan was to vote for Kerry, because I want Dubya out of office that badly. The I watched the Dem Convention and about threw up.... I just can't bring myself to vote for Kerry. The concept of "throw away" voting is simply a subtle form of pressure by the Republicans and Democrats to keep us within the two-party fold. What better way to perpetuate the stranglehold than to make folks feel GUILTY for voting their conscience. Yes, I know every vote is important. But if you can't bring yourself to stand up for your principles at a time when doing so might be harmful to you, what are those principles really worth? You may call it a "throw away". I call it refusing to be enslaved by the current two-party monopoly and taking a stand for what I believe in. I'm voting for the person who most closely represents MY beliefs and interests. That person is Michael Badnarik. - Z "Always be yourself... unless you suck." - Joss Whedon

Heh... that pretty much sums it up... though I'm not sure the Republicans have been giving us much in the way of economic freedom. - Z "Always be yourself... unless you suck." - Joss Whedon

Policial commentary aside, it was just a classic funny snafu: 'Go balloons, go balloons! Go balloons! I don't see anything happening. Go balloons! Go balloons! Go balloons! Standby confetti. Keep coming, balloons. More balloons. Bring it- balloons, balloons, balloons! We want balloons, tons of them. Bring them down. Let them all come. No confetti. No confetti yet. 'No confetti. All right, go balloons, go balloons. We need more balloons. All balloons! All balloons! Keep going! Come on, guys, lets move it. Jesus! We need more balloons. I want all balloons to go, goddammit. Go confetti. Go confetti. More confetti. I want more balloons. What's happening to the balloons? We need more balloons. 'We need all of them coming down. Go balloons- balloons? What's happening balloons? There's not enough coming down! All balloons, what the hell! There's nothing falling! What the fuck are you guys doing up there? We want more balloons coming down, more balloons. More balloons. More balloons'... - Z "Always be yourself... unless you suck." - Joss Whedon

A.J. Hackett runs a very good bungee operation in Vegas. That would be pretty darn close. - Z "Always be yourself... unless you suck." - Joss Whedon

Yeah we're thinking of the same one I think. The last view shows him pulling just above the treeline. I saw that and went HOLY S#$%!!!!! I'll have to go back and re-count the delay but I'm pretty sure it was at least a solid 6, 6-1/2. - Z "Always be yourself... unless you suck." - Joss Whedon

Brit does fly a yellow Raven. I did a 2-way with her where I went off backward videoing her exit... but that was later in the day. I'll take another look and see if I can find her jumps. My canopy is black/gray alternating. I was wearing desert camo and a white video helmet. - Z "Always be yourself... unless you suck." - Joss Whedon

I cratered pretty hard on my first landing. I was in pretty deep brakes shooting for the accuracy tuffet so ya I didn't have much flare. I also noticed a nasty rotor right off the LZ that was briefly robbing my canopy of lift. - Z "Always be yourself... unless you suck." - Joss Whedon

Are talking about the two-way where both the guy and girl botched their aerials and overdelayed trying to get stable? - Z "Always be yourself... unless you suck." - Joss Whedon

Well, like I said over at Blinc, it's not so much the concept as he, as the salesman, was obviously having a hard time using the system himself. Quite comical actually. Then I saw some of the rig closeups. I think I'd rather take my chances rigless than wear one of those things. They were that scary looking. But that's the nice thing about being a BASE jumper, a rig and metal mallot will get you out of most any high-rise pickle. - Z "Always be yourself... unless you suck." - Joss Whedon

Well you could be a team player and help me out in that department. - Z "Always be yourself... unless you suck." - Joss Whedon

Try Navigating to this link and then click on the Watch Video Preview link. It brings up a popup window defaults to Windows Media Player, but there's a link up top that will let you change your player settings. - Z "Always be yourself... unless you suck." - Joss Whedon
