  1. It just slides out the side. Do it on the ground, and you'll see how it works. ---------------------------------- www.jumpelvis.com
  2. She became a greenie sometime right after I started hanging around, which appears to have been 9/12/2001. ---------------------------------- www.jumpelvis.com
  3. Being flattered feels good. Being pissed feels bad. There is probably not much you can do about the actual copying, so I'd pick the former. ---------------------------------- www.jumpelvis.com
  4. I know it looks for ammonium perchlorate, because my bag has tripped it before when I packed after handling AP model rocket motors. There was also a sign at the Baltimore airport this weekend telling people not to use hand lotion before handling their baggage, because the chemicals in some hand lotions (probably glycerine) might scare the equipment.

    Not much good in the e-mail inbox today, but I'll do my best: A pompous minister was seated next to a cowboy on a flight to Oklahoma. After the plane was airborne, drink orders were taken. The cowboy asked for a whiskey and soda, which was brought and placed before him. The flight attendant then asked the minister if he would like a drink. He replied in disgust, "I'd rather be savagely raped by brazen whores than let liquor touch my lips." The cowboy then handed his drink back to the attendant and said, "I didn't know we had a choice." ---------------------------------- www.jumpelvis.com

  7. For an explanation, read this book: http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/0525934189/qid=1061844280/sr=2-3/ref=sr_2_3/102-4529420-9590525 Atlas Shrugged by Ayn Rand ---------------------------------- www.jumpelvis.com

  11. Wow. Billvon is an invisible hander. You never stop surprising me. ---------------------------------- www.jumpelvis.com
  12. My own alma mater, Vanderbilt, has fallen off the list, as well. Pity. It seems that many college administrations are dead set on forcing young people to drive off campus in order to get intoxicated. I think that is pure stupidity. Brent ---------------------------------- www.jumpelvis.com

  15. A lot of the replies on this thread fail to differentiate between "corporal punishment" and "child abuse". I guess I should make it clear that when I said my parents gave me spankings, I meant that they spanked me. This is different from pouring gas on a kid and tossing him a lit flare. ---------------------------------- www.jumpelvis.com
  16. Holy Cow! How young are you? ---------------------------------- www.jumpelvis.com
  17. It's a little like a machine gun - you can own one legally, but it's a huge hassle. HUGE. By the technical definition, you probably have at least a couple of illegal ones in your home right now, if they wanted to bust you. Brent ---------------------------------- www.jumpelvis.com

  20. I got spanked a good bit. I turned out OK. A friend of mine does not spank his kids. They are horrible brats. Once when I was babysitting, I told his little girl I was going to spank her if she did not behave. She told me that her parents did not believe in spanking. I told her that I did. We stared at each other for a few minutes, then she straightened up and flew right when she realized I was not kidding. Another friend of mine also does not believe in corporal punishment. However, his kids don't know that. He says it takes about two actual spankings a year to keep the threat credible, but other than that he is careful never to paint himself into a disciplinary corner. His kids are angels. Leads me to believe that avoidance of physical pain is a motivator for kids. Brent ---------------------------------- www.jumpelvis.com
  21. It has happened to me, as well. It was a morning jump with wet grass, and it's the only time anyone has ever complimented my surf. I think it probably looked longer to the other people on the load because of all the screaming. ---------------------------------- www.jumpelvis.com
  22. I agree with your general position that people in general should consider bigger reserves, but not this part: >>My opinion is that its stupid to have a reserve loaded more than 1.1:1
