  2. I am just really happy to have all of my vegitarian and vegan friends on the plane with me. There's nothing better than having to open the otter door for the last 3k ft in the middle of January. mike Girls only want boyfriends who have great skills--You know, like nunchuk skills, bow-hunting skills, computer-hacking skills.

  9. Mmmmmmmm Primantis!!!!! Jonesin bigtime. Wasn't the dog place right down the stree called the O or sumpin? When I lived in Sqirrel Hill (for about a year on Shady, half a block from Forbes), I used to frequent a nice little place called Bagel Nosh. Daaaahling, the bagels were waandaful. Edit: Actually, I got crossed up in the 12 years since I lived in PA. I lived on Beechwood, right up the street from Chef Brocket. mike Girls only want boyfriends who have great skills--You know, like nunchuk skills, bow-hunting skills, computer-hacking skills.
  10. Actually, I heard a funny story of Iraqi troop training: Iraqi troops used to train off of old Soviet military text. Contained in the text were references to U.S. Marines having to do such things as kill a family member to become a Marine. Well, to the Soviets, that's motivational, but to Iraqis, it was just purely fear instilling. In Desert Storm, they would do anything to avoid surrendering to American Marines. hehee.

  11. Bwaaaahahahhaaaaaa!!! Surrendering to journalists. Hope their captors adhere to the five Ss. heheheeee. mike Girls only want boyfriends who have great skills--You know, like nunchuk skills, bow-hunting skills, computer-hacking skills.
  12. Actually, nope, that's not what I am talking about. The one I saw, but was unable to get a copy of at the time, was just Lee being Lee. Jumping, goofing, talking to his parents through the camera near the top of a big A--I don't think I made a sound through the whole thing. The big, wide grin on my face was enough said. I think I know where I can get a copy, but if anybody else has one readily available, lemme know. Thanks. mike Girls only want boyfriends who have great skills--You know, like nunchuk skills, bow-hunting skills, computer-hacking skills.
  13. you know I was thinking high-center, but I thought, naaah, couldn't have been just a high-center. Sure enough, you added a little air to the mix for good measure. Sorry bro. I just high centered mine last saturday night, although I am not sure if it actually happened, since as I recall, there was a lot of alcohol involved. I don't even know how I got it going again--Damn early season boogies and makeshift ice luges. (disclaimer: I drove on no public or private roads during said excursion, if said excursion actually happened) mike Girls only want boyfriends who have great skills--You know, like nunchuk skills, bow-hunting skills, computer-hacking skills.
  14. ummmm, Dave, I might have missed it, but how in the hell did you bend the frame like that? Just kinda wanna know what not to do to my z71. mike Girls only want boyfriends who have great skills--You know, like nunchuk skills, bow-hunting skills, computer-hacking skills.
  15. I gotta tell you, I think Lee would be (is) excited as hell to know he was on realtv. One of the coolest things I have ever seen was his "memorial" tape. I still need to get my hands on a copy of it. If anybody has a copy and can dump it down for me, please drop me a line. mike Girls only want boyfriends who have great skills--You know, like nunchuk skills, bow-hunting skills, computer-hacking skills.
  16. I am not even gonna ask how you assembled all this information, but I assume its all verifiable. In that case, BRAVO. I am so sick of trained monkeys bleeding their hearts out over some shit they know nothing about just because they have a camera in their face. Vanity will do such amazing things to dumb people. They actually believe their own hype. Fucking well-trained monkeys looking to cash in at the popularity till at the expense of, well, who cares? ...Bunch of disgustipating, traitorous modern-day Jane Fondas. mike Girls only want boyfriends who have great skills--You know, like nunchuk skills, bow-hunting skills, computer-hacking skills.

  18. TRYING TO HELP - by W. Wayne Schields of Wichita Falls All the rhetoric on whether or not we should go to war against Iraq has got my insane little brain spinning like a roulette wheel. I enjoy reading opinions from both sides but I have detected a hint of confusion from some of you. As I was reading the paper recently, I was reminded of the best advice someone ever gave me. He told me about the kiss method (keep it simple, stupid!) So, with this as a theme, I'd like to apply this theory for those who don't quite get it. My hope is that we can simplify things a bit and recognize a few important facts. Here are 10 things to consider when voicing an opinion on this important issue: 1) Between President Bush and Saddam Hussein ... Hussein is the bad guy. 2) If you have faith in the United Nations to do the right thing keep this in mind, they have Libya heading the committee on human rights and Iraq heading the global disarmament committee. Do your own math here. 3) if you use Google search and type in "French military victories," your reply will be "did you mean French military defeats?" 4) if your only anti-war slogan is "no war for oil," sue your school district for allowing you to slip through the cracks and robbing you of the education you deserve. 5) Saddam and bin laden will not seek united nations approval before they try to kill us. 6) Despite common belief, Martin Sheen is not the president. He is an actor and only plays one on TV 7) Even if you are anti-war, you are still an "infidel!" and bin Laden wants you dead, too. 8) If you believe in a "vast right-wing conspiracy" but not in the danger that Hussein poses, quit hanging out with the dell computer dude. 9) We are not trying to liberate them. 10) Whether you are for military action or against it, our young men and women overseas are fighting for us to defend our right to speak out. We all need to support them without reservation. mike Girls only want boyfriends who have great skills--You know, like nunchuk skills, bow-hunting skills, computer-hacking skills.
  19. Which reminds me, I haven't posted any of the good Reverend Maynard's words on here lately... hmmmm... mike Girls only want boyfriends who have great skills--You know, like nunchuk skills, bow-hunting skills, computer-hacking skills.

    TSA today

    MMMMMMMMMMMMm TSA. Good subject! To make a long story, long: Dulles International three weeks ago, trying to carry on my new Mirage, missed a flight because neither TSA or United Airlines knew their own rules. I had the Cypres card in hand, but they didn't care. Some snippets of my hour wait at the big xray machines as they watched my checked baggage: Fat TSA woman: You can't take this on board...You are going to have to check that...Does it use CO2?...I have to call United's hazardous materials handling division...you are going to have to open that up... Then, during that 45-minute phonecall (during which my plane had boarded and closed the doors): United Lady #1: (something about D.B. Cooper) I am sure that's why you can't carry it on. (I procedeed to try to explain how impossible and totally INSANE it would be to try to leave an airbus at 550kts from 32,000ft.) United Lady #2: I have always wanted to skydive, where do you go?... United Lady #1: You are going to have to check that parachute thing of yours... Me: I am not checking a $6000 anything. Would you check your child if somebody told you you had to? After knowing I missed my flight and very pissed off at this point, yet still somewhat respectful, I asked the fat TSA lady if I could talk to whomever was on the phone. She hesitantly agrees. me: What's the problem? Both TSA and United Airlines have policies in place to allow parachutes containing AADs as carry-on luggage. united dude: Is there C02 inside? me: No it does not contain C02. united dude: Oh, it's one of the new ones? me: (Ummmm) Yes. And it does not contain CO2. united dude: Oh, that's okay. Have a nice trip sir, Could you please put the lady back on the phone? Two seconds later I was good to go and on my way to the walk-through checkpoint. Funny thing, I don't think that any of the TSA guys at the walk-through screening area even knew about the first TSA incident. The just never said a word as they watched my Mirage ride through the xray machine. Conversely, Orlando International a week later...Walked RIGHT through without a second glance or a word about the rig. Guess they are a little more up on the parachute thing. mike Girls only want boyfriends who have great skills--You know, like nunchuk skills, bow-hunting skills, computer-hacking skills.
  24. Hey Sunshine, I don't really see too much negative that was said above. I see advice from people who have at some point and time made a progression from square canopy A to elliptical canopy Z. It's all about helping your friends see things from a different perspective, because ya know, we are all adults and we can make our on decisions. I like to base my decisions on the good word of those who went before me, as well as my own thoughts. If left to my ideas alone, I would probably be packing my Xaos-27 89 on some puffy cloud up in the great beyond. Not a sermon, just a thought. mike Girls only want boyfriends who have great skills--You know, like nunchuk skills, bow-hunting skills, computer-hacking skills.
  25. Maybe yes, maybe no. Maybe I just want to be able to say I warned him. Maybe he's been jumping his friend's sabre 2 170 for the last 50 jumps and we just don't know. Maybe he's wingloading a 170 at 1.0:1. Again, we don't know. What do I know? Jumping from a 210 to a 170 is cool with me, if you can handle the extra speed of downsizing two sizes in one jump. Going from a 7-cell to a 9-cell is cool too, but be prepared for the canopy to behave differently. Going from square to elliptical is okay if you are prepared for everything going to shit a whole hell of a lot faster. Making all three of these changes on one jump is a series of several weak links in the chain. Sorry, I can't condone that. mike Girls only want boyfriends who have great skills--You know, like nunchuk skills, bow-hunting skills, computer-hacking skills.
