  1. Geeks are cool. Matt
  2. Is it any good? Been thinking about renting that one. Matt
  3. Why do pretty girls never ask me to autograph their boobies? Doesn't seem fair. Matt
  4. It's the chips and salsa. That's the most insidious thing about those places. How can I be expected to responsibly monitor my own food intake when the second I sit down they give me a huge bowl of chips and a couple of different salsas? Must be heroin sprinkled on those damn chips, I swear. Matt
  5. To be fair, squirrels don't make a habit of living in sewers and eating dead rotten things, as far as I know. Rodents, yes. Rats, no. Matt
  6. Yeah, I frequently lose all sense of my own limits when inside a decent tex-mex restaurant. At least in a few hours the flatulence is entertaining. Matt
  7. Not much meat on a squirrel, so stew is usually how they're prepared. Tasty enough. They help plant trees by hiding nuts and forgetting where they hid them. Other critters eat them. So fairly useful, I'd say. Matt
  8. Ok, so you know Douglas Adams and you know Highlander and you skydive and you're a doctor to top it all off? Wow.
  9. Can only choose one? Reading books and playing on the computer. Matt
  10. Dear Sunshine, I'm glad your avatar looks happy again.
  11. Yeah, I should have tried to be a little more subtle. Matt
  12. I always figured that if anyone was actually carrying around such a disproportionately huge tool, he'd be at risk of passing out from the loss of blood flow to his head whenever he got hard. Matt
  13. Nah, not quite to geek status yet. A true geek would point out that if memory serves correctly, the erogenous zones actually were said to begin four miles from her body, but Ford thinks it's five. And on a related note, Eccentrica Gallumbits never actually makes an appearance in the series, but is quoted as calling Zaphod "The best bang since the big one." That's the kind of thing a geek would add to the conversation, so I think you're still safe. Matt

    Air Shows

    Oh Ya, this one time, at band camp... Completely different story! Matt

    Air Shows

    In the spirit of one-upmanship: Had a flying lesson, just practicing takeoffs and landings over and over again, the day before the Air and Water Show in Chicago a few years ago. We're on downwind when the tower tells us to be aware of fast moving traffic from 3 o'clock. Squinting through the haze, I catch a glimpse of something grey in the distance and suddenly four F-16s go screaming past, about 200-300 feet above our plane. The only time I ever heard another plane over the Cessna's engine noise.
  17. My first jump was static line. Lots of fun! Of course you're nervous, any sane person would be. Use that nervous energy to help you focus on everything the instructor says, and don't be scared to ask questions.

    Kite Tubing?

    Who is banning it where? Matt
  19. I work with this guy. Lots of fun. I confess to occasionally jibber-jabbering; and I don't even drink.
  20. I'm thinking that the odds are pretty good that alcohol was involved at some point in the decision making process here. Matt
  21. I'd love to know how the training for one of these dogs is accomplished. Obviously, he'll have to spend a significant amount of time with your boys, under constant supervision, to reinforce not only how you want the dog to behave, but how you want him to respond to the kids' actions. Do you travel to the training facility and stay there for a while? Or does a professional trainer come stay with you? Matt
