Wanna borrow the fishin' whacker?

Ummm you mean almost nearly normal? After the Dick and Jane episodes last night ...I really have to wonder! BTW how is the rooster rake? Bwahhhhhh

That is all...

I just figure that if you hold ill feelings, they only affect you. You own them the other person does not. In truth they are probably oblivious anyway I am glad that you have a forgiving nature. Much easier to get through life that way

Holding a grudge is like drinking poison and expecting someone else to die from it. Life is just too damn short.

Well stitch it wasn't just tongs...I had raid too! Then again all a girl really needs is a hammer, some WD-40 and some duct tape. Add the tongs and Raid and one is ready take on the world!!

You can't? Okay back to the clubbing! Where's the fishin' whacker?!

She stole his ball? Well Dick and Jane learned how to share. So tell me what ya want what ya really really want...I wanna I wanna...SLUMBER PARTY!! Is this correct? Jane! Be a good girl and give back the ball...then maybe he will come for a sleep over.

I am afraid that would nevah work in my case...it would more than likely have to be an AK 47

Nope. Well I am old what can I say...Lippincott was a standard in 1st grade. Spot was the dog...Sally is the little sistah See Dick run..run Dick run...See Jane run...run like hell Jane run! bwahhhhhhhh

Okay..I am all about Dick and Jane stories but is there a Sally and Spot in here somewhere?

Actually...I didn't think that about you at all...In all candor it wasn't about youand since the post wasn't directed at you..it's inconsequential. Additionally, since I am responding to your current post...I reserve the right to change my opinion.

LOL I WAS trying to make a point on directness. Thanks anyway

Is that so? Okay then... Hey asshole!! Where's the picket fence??!

ehem... HONESTLY I was told by a man today that ....they have balls instead of brains. So there ya have it directly from a male of the species to a female of the species. Disclaimer: This is not necessarily the opinion of the poster.

I sent a scan to Matt. If he chooses to post it, thats up to him

First off, realize that there is a difference between merely stretching and being flexible. Pilates is a wonderful thing Yoko was a gymnast, and most freestylists have some dance background. It isn't essential though. Simply put, freestyle is about taking something that is difficult to execute and make it look effortless.

It is essential to have good freefly skills as comps contain head down moves. It is also imperative to be able to fly on all axis. Head down moves carry a higher degree of difficulty than upright moves for scoring. As to the camera flyer I have to be honest here and say that it requires a highly skilled camera flyer. Not every camera flyer (even a good freeflyer) can film freestyle. Freestyle is more interactive than it has been in the past, therefor it requires one to "dance" with the camera flyer so to speak. At a competitive level the camera flyer and performer may switch places during competition. It really doesn't happen and there is a slight problem with that. On an international level there are separate categories for mens and womens. Which means that the designation of the team is based on performer. This would mean that you could not have a mixed gender team if switching places. In the US however, there is only an open category that is not gender based. This changes come time to decide which teams to send to the World Meet as they are then separated by gender. Simply put , in the US if the field contains 1 male team and that team finishes last, the team would still be invited to the World Meet as the top male team for the US. It will continue to stay this way until there are enough competitiors to separate the field. The other thing to keep in mind is this. Freestyle must have enough competitors to medal at US Nationals or it will be removed as a competitive event. This is in truth why both myself and Tanya O'brien chose to compete at the Nationals in 2005. In hopes of keeping both Skysurf and Freestyle in US Nationals. So....if you're entertaining freestyle as a competitor....get into the game and compete at US Nationals in October!!

I checked it the other day and none of the gear manufacturers were listed. The page has since been pulled and according to Sangiro its pulled and sitting on the server. Check the thread in the Bonfire.

Royd, Freestyle is currently more popular in Europe, but with the addition of vertical 4 way, there seems to be an insurgence of interest in freestyle.

I've been on six. All different ports of call and several different cruise lines. There is always something to do on the ship as well as off. Food is great, good entertainment. I've really enjoyed them. As to being sea sick...well I can't answer that. Do you have a propensity for motion sickness? If so think Dramamine. Have a fabulous time! B2
