You left out "Local cops are stupid and prone to asking stupid questions that have obvious answers". Like, when covered in sweat at the end of a ten mile run, "Have you been exercising?"

I don't see ANY difference between this particular boogie and any other themed boogie. If POPS, JFTC and others can do it, why can't gays? Good for them, go for it.

This has GOT to be some kind of record. On a local message e-mail tree, it began as a dicussion of the exit altitude of the last few record big ways (300, 357, 400) and within four replies was completly about emoticons. It boggles the mind. So, how fast can you drift a thread? Skydivers don't knock on Death's door. They ring the bell and runaway... It really pisses him off. -The World Famous Tink.

I've done several triathlons. Three half Ironman, ten olympic distance and ten sprint distance. To start with, you need to start training for each individual event. You need to bike as well as swim with your running program. If you have an olympic distance in mind I'd suggest doing, or getting to where you CAN do, five miles per week swimming, eighty mile per week riding and twenty miles a week running. Make sure that at least one of those exercise events per week is equal to, or in excess of, the competition distance. Allow for enough prep time so that you can have at least seven, and preferably ten days of active rest prior to the event. Most of the top triathletes use time trail bikes for the competition. The advantages of TT bike over standard bikes are that with a 650C wheel the bike can accelerate faster than a 700C wheel road bike. Also, with the less rigid rules governing TT bikes there is more in the way of frame geometry available. This can have a significanrt effect on power delivery. That being said, TT and tri bikes, because they are on the exotic side, tend to be expensive. Although I like my tri bike better than any 700C bike I've ridden, I've got over $5K into it. (With no wife, kids or girlfriend, I have a big toy budget) Also, depending on what event your are prepping for, you might need a wet suit. The best brand (IMHO) is Quintana Roo. Be careful about buying a suit from anyplace, often wet suits meant for surfing don't do well in triathlon. Be ready to spend around $200 for a good QR suit. You will also need to think about the transition between the events. The most difficult transition is from bike to run. You will become "velocitized" on the bike and in the transition from bike to run you will want to run as fast as you were going on the bike. You will have to seriously gate your run back. This is a lot harder than it sounds. This can make or break your event. If you fry yourself on any of the transitions, you will be done. PM me if you want more or want some specific program questions. Skydivers don't knock on Death's door. They ring the bell and runaway... It really pisses him off. -The World Famous Tink.

No, that won't happen. The democrats are done as a force in national politics. They are unable to field any electable candidates either now or in the near future.

I would watch. I have seen many, many bodies of the dead in 25 years in the Fire Dept. I have seen two jumpers go in since I entered the sport. It has never occurred to me to look away.

My personal favorite comes from a place that no longer exists (The Sushi Cafe in Fells Point, Baltimore, MD). It's called the 3-D roll. Tuna, Flounder and Salmon on the inside, Tobiko (flying fish roe) on the out side. Rolled inside out, dipped in a little bit of soy and a touch of wasabi, it is nothing short of nectar of the gods. mmmmmm.

I'm curious, what is your source for this figure? (I'm not being critical, I'm just interested in seeing the source.)

Come to Delmarva. We have a cool Otter and even better staff. The Beach is only a half an hour away and the night scene around the DZ is cool. The only drawback to the place is the stupid Bay Bridge. Also, $6K is plenty for what you want to do. Skydivers don't knock on Death's door. They ring the bell and runaway... It really pisses him off. -The World Famous Tink. (I never heard of you either!!)

Running cable lines under, over or through public property is different than regulating and far away from content regulation. I don't care how local governments and private companies work out access issues for cable or other communications. Nor should such actions be enumerated in the constitution. But I seriously want ALL levels of government out of the content business. Skydivers don't knock on Death's door. They ring the bell and runaway... It really pisses him off. -The World Famous Tink.

This would apply only to government, not to individuals. This would not apply to the case of qualifications (just like it is now). IOW, if you can't pay, you don't qualify. I think you misunderstand. The assignment of channels, frequencies and such are the only things a government, at any level, should be allowed to regulate. Also, I think you statement about cable systems running on government owned facilities might be wrong. We here in MD have had cable for 30 years and none of it is owned by the government. All cables, relay gear and even the poles are 100% private. All of them. Biology dictates that issues of reproductive freedom fall more heavily on women then men. Therefore it is women who are in need of protection for their reproductive rights. Where has this been criticized? The only place I know of where Lemon is controversial is that of the fundementalist religions who are continually trying to skirt it. Relief for disasters is not deployment for the purpose of war. The posting of garrisons at embassies is a legitimate security use and is not related to war. I'm talking about restricting the White House from making wars willy nilly without the consent of the people. Funding would be at the level of the election. Feds pay for feds, states pay for state, local pays for locals etc... This is a copy of the process in The Netherlands. All parties work for the courts. All parties are independent and are free to pursue any and all leads. The legislature, guided by the courts would establish the criteria for frivolous lawsuits and would establish severe penalties.
