Dude, that's horrible. I'm sending this guy all kinds of good vibes cause from the way the article sounds we would be in all kinds of better places if we had a lot more guys like him. Next time you talk to him tell him there's at least one random stranger wishing him all kinds of well. p.s.--You know this offensive BS will go away and quit bothering you with time, but how long that time will be is directly related to how long you feel like it's bothering you. Just a thought from me

What would I do for my true love? Damn, that's a tough one. Every one's saying that if she was the one then she would accept me for who I am. Right, I get that, but at the same time, for my true love who was so busy accepting me for who I am, I would do anything for her. The thing is, it wouldn't be a chore, or a point for argument, it would just be me wanting her to be as happy as she made me. Or something like that. Truman Sparks for President

Take the 12 gauge and follow chile's advice; put rock salt in place of the pellets. My grandpa used to do that to the people who were harassing his livestock and tearing down his fences. They never came back after that night, either

hehehe, no pop-ups for me, gotta love this firewall

Like someone said earlier, "humor as an occasional way for some people to make very hurtful things tolerable." Of course, I'd put it a little different. I'd have to say that if you can't laugh at a situation then you've allowed that situation to have power over you. But then again, there are some common sense things that should be prevalent in your joke telling. If you're having dinner with Louis Farrakan (sp?) you probably shouldn't joke about watermelons. If you're having dinner with a devout Catholic it's probably best not to bring up the fact that the pope has actually been dead for 5 years and is in all actuallity simply being operated by some cardinals who stuck that remote control unit up his ass. If you're talking to Jerry Falwell, maybe you shouldn't bring up how your lesbian friend thought she wanted a baby so she was artificially insiminated but then she changed her mind and got an abortion. My point is, people, we all use humor everyday to deal with difficult issues we have to face. The moment we lose our ability to laugh at the screwed up things in our lives we will have lost one of our most important human characteristics. Soooo, next time you get pissed off over something as irrelevant as a joke, go look in a mirror and start laughing at youself for being so damned sensitive. It might be the funniest thing you see all day.

Is sho hot? Oh, and single, too? er, uh, I mean, I've got the wonderful step-parent family, and I'd ahve to say that I'm my mom's favorite and the older step-sister is the step-dad's favorite. In all honesty, she's my favorite, too, simply because she's so freakin' entertaining in a trainwreck sort of way. edited because I'm retarded and couldn't spell. Truman Sparks for President

Um, the dog's scared of people who talk funny? Maybe I'm a little callous, but I'd laugh at that too. Truman Sparks for President

No, no, no, you've got it all wrong. This is actually a message from Thompson to Dr. Gonzo, not a message from Dr. Gonzo. Of course Dr. Gonzo is still in the hotel! Truman Sparks for President

Nope, I've never had a problem with it. Truman Sparks for President

hi, welcome to the forums

I'm sure that you were posting before I was, but I, too, was around before the intro forum was up and running. Of course, I'm one of those people who just love leading the trend, so I couldn't resist being the absolute first (yep, beer) to post an intro. The reason I bring this up is because I went back and looked at that slightly old thread, and you know what? I never got a skymama greeting either. Now I know I really don't know her, but damn, all the sudden I'm feeling left out too. Truman Sparks for President

I'm all heart, my friend, all heart Truman Sparks for President

I thought about telling you all just how incredibly hung I am, but then I had to cry, cause the sad truth is I'm hung like a pissed off chihuahua. Truman Sparks for President

Just in case you, too, wish your job were better, check this one out: Odor Judge — Betty Lyon has been sniffing armpits for 35 years, helping to make the perfect deodorant. As an odor judge for Hilltop Labs in Cincinnati, she also sniffs diapers, cat litter and other consumer goods. Lyons says it takes an acute sense of smell to do her job. When it comes to body odor, she says you are what you eat. "Alcohol, fried chicken, pickles, everything," she told Canada's National Post, "comes out under your arm. It comes out any place you sweat, it comes out on your feet. And if you smoke, we can tell what's old stale smoke and what's recent smoke." This was from www.abcnews.go.com/sections/us/WolfFiles/wolffiles.html They were talking about a lot of odd jobs, check them all out if you want. Truman Sparks for President

Wow, I wonder how many of us are royally screwed here? Of course, this guy sat for 18 hours! That's a long time to simply sit on your ass. I'm not sure, but I'd probably go crazy before I developed a blood clot. Truman Sparks for President

Hello, welcome, and enjoy! If I was feeling really wordy I'd probably make some sort of entertaining way to say that, but hey, I just want to go take a nice nap right now. Anyway, once again, welcome to the zoo

never personally experienced this, but I did witness it when I went to do my very first jump. The I that taught the first jump class also did some JM'ing (static line). He took the first load of students up, followed them out for a hop n pop, turned that into about 5 sec worth of delay, and deployed. He landed pretty far out, but still on airport, and refused to move for 5-10 minutes. Everything survived, but he was pretty tender still even the next weekend. Truman Sparks for President

Really not feeling too terribly subtle at the moment are you?

Yep, that would be a perfect icon for this group. Maybe something good like that will come out of this thread even though I did start it for less than honorable purposes Truman Sparks for President

Wow, I just realized this is a beer thread for me. Never had a hot one before

LMAO! Dave, I opened that and even my cat got scared and ran off. All you're missing is the people running around talking 5 minutes before the dubbed words actually are heard

Oh, no my friend, I'm an ex-broke-ass college student who still has student loans to pay off who still has to pack to pay for damn near every jump I make because I dropped out of college after too much skydiving and partying and not enough studying. Of course, I DID have more fun in college than 99% of all college students currently enrolled. Truman Sparks for President

Oh shit!! The new packing machine has a radiation leak! Everybody run! Truman Sparks for President

Some day, Dave, I want to grow up and be just like you Truman Sparks for President

I do like the BBC. It's nice to get a relatively unbiased opinion on world politics. Notice the relatively. Anyway, I think it has a pretty valid point. Truman Sparks for President
