  1. bwwwaaahahahaaaahahaa Jesus christ on a popsicle stick! Now you want me to verify the guy's story? Do you do that with 1/2 of 1% of what you post here? OMG. too funny. Now, if you ask me if I believe Mr. Bendell, I will tell you, "100%." I don't care what you dig up about Bush, if this is in fact true, it speaks volumes of the character of this fellow, Kerry. mike Girls only want boyfriends who have great skills--You know, like nunchuk skills, bow-hunting skills, computer-hacking skills.
  2. Hey kallend!!! For authentication, see here: www.donbendell.com. Have a nice day!!! mike Girls only want boyfriends who have great skills--You know, like nunchuk skills, bow-hunting skills, computer-hacking skills.
  3. A friend of mine spent some time in Hanoi with McCain. I guess they got as close as two POWs could get within the space of a few years. He thinks the dude has lost his friggin mind. Hell, two years ago, McCain went back to Hanoi for a "family vacation" and made buddies with his former captors. The dude is a whackjob. On the gunshow issue, the gunshows I went to 10 years ago (before all this talk about a "loophole") are run very differently than they are today. From my experience, every federal firearms license holder runs checks on buyers, just like in a store. The remaining sales I have seen take place are just simple person-to-person sales, which could easily happen in a living room as in a fire hall. The issue (if there ever was one) has been fixed by the people at the shows, but nobody wants to admit it. It's all about new laws, and "hey, look what I did to make you 'safer.'" mike Girls only want boyfriends who have great skills--You know, like nunchuk skills, bow-hunting skills, computer-hacking skills.
  4. I emailed both of my Senators yesterday. One's gonna do the right thing, for sure. The other is cuddling up to McCain and the rest of the gun banners on the so-called gunshow "loophole." We shall see. If you haven't written to your Senator, now'd be a really good time to do so. mike Girls only want boyfriends who have great skills--You know, like nunchuk skills, bow-hunting skills, computer-hacking skills.
  5. No shit? Where'd you come up with this one? Was there a study done or something that proved that marriage stopped promiscuity? I'd like to see that one! HA. Having spent a lot of time with friends who were homosexuals to the extent of going with them to "gay bars," I came to one quick conclusion. Women are the gatekeepers from wanton promiscuity of straight men. If a man could fuck every woman in the world, he would. It's in a male's genetic code. Men want to propagate the race. Between two men, there is no gatekeeper. Both want the sex. It's simple really. Relationship or no, I have seen gay friends go off with others at the drop of a hat. You think a piece of paper is gonna stop that? mike Girls only want boyfriends who have great skills--You know, like nunchuk skills, bow-hunting skills, computer-hacking skills.
  6. I agree with you and disagree with you. First off, I think that the institution of marriage is burned to the ground almost anyway, so if homosexuals want to call themselves married--go for it. Brothers and sisters: same. Moms and sons: same. Old men and little boys: same. Everybody can get married and try to live a happy (if not totally disfunctional--they would be doing it anyway without the formality) life. Secondly, the only caveat I have to the above is that all benefits of marriage are removed. No more insurance benefits for spouses (except in the case of the old man and the little boy, because he can't get a job). No more tax incentives or breaks for married couples. No more federal spending on marriage counseling or research. If you are married, you are treated just like the single people. Period. Who wants to get married now? Step on up! mike Girls only want boyfriends who have great skills--You know, like nunchuk skills, bow-hunting skills, computer-hacking skills.
  7. I agree with that. Female dog urine is very acidic. Notice any brown patches in your grass a few days after your dog's been there? That's an indicator. Male dog urine is not nearly as acidic, FYI. I'd probably be running fresh water on any area she did her business on, immediately. mike Girls only want boyfriends who have great skills--You know, like nunchuk skills, bow-hunting skills, computer-hacking skills.
  8. I've jumped both the Sabre 170 and the Sabre2 170 at a 1.3 wingloading. I found the Sabre2 to open much more consistently than the Sabre and it was a bit softer. It's got more taper than the original too, so it seemed quite a bit more responsive for both turns and in the flare. Like Bill said, the Sabre2 does emphasize the need for good body position on deployment, at least more than the Sabre. Might I suggest you also demo a Lotus from Big Air? After flying both Sabres, I jumped a Lotus demo and my canopy search was over. I got one of the first Lotus canopies with the new "eagle" trim and increased length in the Cs and Ds, which put the canopy in a class of its own. It was very quick, responsive and would surf for days. At the same time, it was also quite forgiving. Every person who flew my Lotus immediately took a shining to it, to the extent that the first person I let jump it when I decided to get a Samurai, fell in love and bought it straight away. His old canopy was a Sabre 170. Hope I didn't muddy the waters too much. Demo lots and let us know what you decide. mike Girls only want boyfriends who have great skills--You know, like nunchuk skills, bow-hunting skills, computer-hacking skills.
  9. Is that "Y'all" with a Southern accent or an English accent? mike Girls only want boyfriends who have great skills--You know, like nunchuk skills, bow-hunting skills, computer-hacking skills.
  10. Of course not. Then they would have to lie to promote their own agenda. This whole thing is the biggest joke I have ever read. Based on the little bit of "evidence" in their totally vague allegations, I think it really all comes down to a group of over-educated folks who purport--among other similar items--the whole global warming issue. They aren't getting anywhere with this administration (ummm, can you say no funding/federal grants for imaginary science projects???), so since we're not all driving around in our little environmentally friendly, soy-powered hybred, papier-mache vehicles yet, they put their little group together to bash the administration. There are lots of scientists out there who claim man-made global warming is dog shit. Hell, from what I have read one kick-ass volcanic eruption would do more to the ozone than human beings could do in the next million years. I am motivated to go home and remove the catalytic converter behind my 350hp/350ci chevy smallblock just for grins now. mike Girls only want boyfriends who have great skills--You know, like nunchuk skills, bow-hunting skills, computer-hacking skills.
  11. Yer missing my point. The political statement is irrelevant. Look at elmo. What is he doing? mike Girls only want boyfriends who have great skills--You know, like nunchuk skills, bow-hunting skills, computer-hacking skills.
  12. Found this in another thread. Please take a look at it. Thanks. Now, can you please tell me what the fuck elmo is doing with the sheep? mike Girls only want boyfriends who have great skills--You know, like nunchuk skills, bow-hunting skills, computer-hacking skills.
  13. Ya know, I have slinks on my reserve and had always jumped them on my main until I got my Samurai. I used to have the slider come partway down the risers with slinks, but I no longer have that problem with the metal links/rubber bumpers. The added bonus of metal links is that I can grab and hold them a lot easier when I have gloves on, rather than grabbing the webbing (slips) or the dive loop (might get a finger hung up). I do stow my slider with a set of Brian Germain's Slocks on my front risers. It's the safest and most convenient method I have seen so far. For someone of limited experience, I totally advise going with metal links and bumpers, while just collapsing the slider. Leave stowing for later. It's not gonna make a ton of difference one way or another, and it will make for a no-fuss cutaway, should you need to make one. mike Girls only want boyfriends who have great skills--You know, like nunchuk skills, bow-hunting skills, computer-hacking skills.
  14. Interesting belief. Now try to back it up. mike Girls only want boyfriends who have great skills--You know, like nunchuk skills, bow-hunting skills, computer-hacking skills.
  15. Methinks kallend is fucking with us... My head hurts already after second guessing myself earlier... On another note: Don't we got a freshly-painted otter to play with tomorrow? hehe mike Girls only want boyfriends who have great skills--You know, like nunchuk skills, bow-hunting skills, computer-hacking skills.
  16. I do things the hard way, I guess. I used the 990 you gave me minus the 440 from the 11 seconds x 40 fps. Oh well Btw, you certainly are the professor, with all that distracting bs mixed in there. I guess, I could have pared it down further, but this is what I used: Thanks for the fun! mike Girls only want boyfriends who have great skills--You know, like nunchuk skills, bow-hunting skills, computer-hacking skills.
  17. horizontally, 550 ft. yes, if the closest jumpers on each group went directly along the line of flight. (edit, I am an idiot. I reversed the groups in my first try. oops) mike Girls only want boyfriends who have great skills--You know, like nunchuk skills, bow-hunting skills, computer-hacking skills.
  18. Ahhhhhh, sorry. I stand corrected. I must have missed those posts. Three floods. One of which I think more people died from burning than drowning. And no, it wasn't New Sodom, PA. mike Girls only want boyfriends who have great skills--You know, like nunchuk skills, bow-hunting skills, computer-hacking skills.
  19. Damn, That was awesome! I especially liked the bit about the girlfriend coughing from the cigar smoke! Very illustrative... mike Girls only want boyfriends who have great skills--You know, like nunchuk skills, bow-hunting skills, computer-hacking skills.
  20. That's true on most helicopters. I don't think it's true on Eddowes' bird. I did forget to mention unless you want a few slices of meat for a deli sammich, don't jump up. mike Girls only want boyfriends who have great skills--You know, like nunchuk skills, bow-hunting skills, computer-hacking skills.
  21. no, you had an ex-gf from just outside Pittsburgh who said "youins." I thought it was y'uns. And yeah, I grew up in toward the alabama part of PA. Think about a place that floods every so often, yet people still think it's cool to live there. funny, they do say krik for creek, warshington for washington and use gumbands to wrap up a group of things. One thing I don't miss about that place is how nibby everybody is. mike Girls only want boyfriends who have great skills--You know, like nunchuk skills, bow-hunting skills, computer-hacking skills.
  22. Having been born in PA, I think that year or so in SoWeGA broke me of most of my yankee habits before I settled in VA. still a damn yankee, but 73% Dixie mike Girls only want boyfriends who have great skills--You know, like nunchuk skills, bow-hunting skills, computer-hacking skills.
  23. Skid hangs rule! BUT!!!! protect your handles as you climb down!!!! Velcro is no match for your bodyweight sliding down over a steel rail. I have seen a reserve handle come undune on a friend's first skid hang. It may not be a "true" dead-air exit, but it's about as close as you can get on an aircraft. like has been said, for the first five or six hundred feet there's almost no wind resistance, so accept your body position and hang out till you got airspeed to play with. mike Girls only want boyfriends who have great skills--You know, like nunchuk skills, bow-hunting skills, computer-hacking skills.
  24. OT... Q. what's better than winning a gold medal in the special olympics? A. Not being retarded. No offense if you are retarded. mike Girls only want boyfriends who have great skills--You know, like nunchuk skills, bow-hunting skills, computer-hacking skills.
  25. So, were you sliding or was he? How much separation did you give him on exit? Altitude of occurance? I am interested in hearing your story. If you're really educated, you shouldn't have to worry about landing out. OTOH, there are plenty of dz which have places you DO NOT want to land and there are NO OUTs for miles. I can think of two in florida I have jumped at in the last 45 days. Would it help if I yelled really loud before I dumped at 5k? mike Girls only want boyfriends who have great skills--You know, like nunchuk skills, bow-hunting skills, computer-hacking skills.
