  1. Cuz you be a snake-eating, little black-bird insertable, CQB ninja. - Harvey, BASE 1232 TAN-I, IAD-I, S&TA BLiNC Magazine Team Member
  2. Yeah, I was sucked into the 24/7 coverage for about a week. I don't remember it reported that way. You're wong wong. But nice attempt at a troll anyway. - Harvey, BASE 1232 TAN-I, IAD-I, S&TA BLiNC Magazine Team Member
  3. True statement. A dropzone opened this year...single 182 outfit...and it's the most fun I've had skydiving in 16 years. Abbie would bump a tandem if you ask nicely and slap him on the ass maybe. Read the part about free coaching "if we like you." That's just good shit. Snake River - Harvey, BASE 1232 TAN-I, IAD-I, S&TA BLiNC Magazine Team Member
  4. I wouldn't say the percentage is THAT large - but there are tools, just like everywhere else. You must have had bad luck with the folks you ran into. Ya just bitch slap 'em like any other unruly aquaintance - they can be taught. - Harvey, BASE 1232 TAN-I, IAD-I, S&TA BLiNC Magazine Team Member
  5. More than that...and most agencies permanently keep your gear now as "evidence." Don't get me started about the NPS - they'll kill you too. Literally. Just don't get caught. - Harvey, BASE 1232 TAN-I, IAD-I, S&TA BLiNC Magazine Team Member
  6. Checked out their website. Great looking bunch of ol' guys. That sucks. What a drag. - Harvey, BASE 1232 TAN-I, IAD-I, S&TA BLiNC Magazine Team Member
  7. One of the my primary motivating factors for taking up BASE. The people are in it for the total experience - friends, travel, sneaking around, pushing limits...and jumping. And the jump tickets are cheap as hell. - Harvey, BASE 1232 TAN-I, IAD-I, S&TA BLiNC Magazine Team Member
  8. Thanks gents (and lady). Turns out I have both. Got the MRI today. MRI Findings: The biceps is clearly abnormal and torn. Findings compatible with labral tear including a superior labrum anterior to posterior (SLAP) tear in combination with an anterior labral tear. The anterior labral tear probably does extend down the anteroinferior quadrant, raising suspicion for a Bankhart lesion. Cartilage loss along the anterior Glenoid, with small loose cartilaginous bodies in the subscapular recess of the joint. Mild strain of the teres minor muscle. Peritendinitis. Whatever. Fucking thing hurts. And I won't tell you how long I've been running around like this for fear of being called a dumbass caveman. (hint - about 75 skydives and 80 BASE jumps) So with all those repairs, I'm thinking the recovery might be slow-ish based on your experiences. C'est la vie. I'll keep you posted. - Harvey, BASE 1232 TAN-I, IAD-I, S&TA BLiNC Magazine Team Member

    Stick with the Harris... Between the lot of us, I'm sure we can figure out a way to get you one. Jeez. Of course I'm no friggin help...anyone know a Jarhead at the Embassy in Johannesburg? (or is it in Cape Town?) - Harvey, BASE 1232 TAN-I, IAD-I, S&TA BLiNC Magazine Team Member

    OK. so in July, the Intel Brief is recieved. The next week, GWB begins having all muslim men of fighting age in the US questioned and/or their movements scrutinized. Thanks to those in your tribe...that would have been met with the ACLU/impeachment/guys with sticks and stones/and a 4-pound chicken. The viable and POLITICALLY CORRECT solution was to notify the appropriate agencies, who, once notified - developed their own courses of action based on established practices. These were carried out with the best intentions - but with the very strict caveat that: #1 - Do not profile (which is ridiculous - coming from an ex-cop) #2 - do not talk to other agencies (the Gorelick Wall) They missed. Bad. These errors cannot be blamed on the Executive. - Harvey, BASE 1232 TAN-I, IAD-I, S&TA BLiNC Magazine Team Member

    Concur, and agencies were notified, but the Gorelick Wall made it impossible - illegal even - to compare data that would have identified patterns. Bureaucracy is to blame. Not any one individual...but if you needed to pick ONE - Jamie Gorelick. - Harvey, BASE 1232 TAN-I, IAD-I, S&TA BLiNC Magazine Team Member

    Ex-squeeze me? Jamie Gorelick had 100x more to do with 9/11 happening then ole' GWB. He hadn't even found his pencil sharpener by then. 9/11 had been in planning for years. Yours is one of those few left opinions that I actually pay credence to. You don't seriously buy into that bullshit do you? - Harvey, BASE 1232 TAN-I, IAD-I, S&TA BLiNC Magazine Team Member
  13. It happens...ask Tom A. - Harvey, BASE 1232 TAN-I, IAD-I, S&TA BLiNC Magazine Team Member
  14. My personal Fav... Pull Higher (Look carefully the second time through at the climbers just below the exit point - big wall guys call it the "alarm clock" on El Cap) P.S. No...that's not El Cap. - Harvey, BASE 1232 TAN-I, IAD-I, S&TA BLiNC Magazine Team Member
  15. Having a torn labrum and biceps tendon repaired next week. Anyone had this done? Recovery time? Nagging pain duration? I got the standard Dr. answer. Looking for practical examples. Those yucks are never right. Sucks getting old. thanks, cheers, fo shizzle, out. - Harvey, BASE 1232 TAN-I, IAD-I, S&TA BLiNC Magazine Team Member

    Well, I don't fault him with holding out the olive branch at first, simply to appear civilized on the public arena. But when Ahmedinejad slapped the branch out of his hand - stab him in the fucking eye. I agree with you that there needs to exist some projection of power to keep the dogs from your door. Too much isolationism just staves it off for some time. Thanks for the P-b-P - Harvey, BASE 1232 TAN-I, IAD-I, S&TA BLiNC Magazine Team Member

  19. In the photo on Drudge about Oprah dumping the Clinton's to support Obama... Is it just me...what does it look like Jesse Jackson is looking at? That would be one rich-assed love child to add to his list. - Harvey, BASE 1232 TAN-I, IAD-I, S&TA BLiNC Magazine Team Member

  22. Life is too precious to spend time searching this immortal thread...has anyone posted this attachment yet? do I hear 10,000 views? ...fo shizzle (I crack myself up) - Harvey, BASE 1232 TAN-I, IAD-I, S&TA BLiNC Magazine Team Member
  23. A little know fact... George W. Bush has a Bacon number of 4. George W. Bush was in Krajina meho srdce (2004) with Zuzana Stivinova (II) Zuzana Stivinova (II) was in Pasti, pasti, pasticky (1998) with Karel Roden (I) Karel Roden (I) was in 15 Minutes (2001) with David Alan Grier David Alan Grier was in Woodsman, The (2004) with Kevin Bacon Coincidence? I think not. It's CHAOS! The sky is falling! Anyone with a Bacon number of 4 MUST be pure evil. Check your friends...
