Geek - Sci/Fi Fantasy Junkies with very little in the way of Social Skills. Nerd - Math, Science, Techie Junkies with very little Social Skills. Squint - I never this one before. My Own "You might be a Geek if" 1. You are firmly convinced that Heinlein`s ideas could fix most of the world problems. 2. You enjoy Sci-fi Conventions. 3. You can’t decide if you would rather sleep with Starbuck or #6. 4. You know what TANSTAAFL means. 5. You think Kahn was Ricardo Montibans crowning achievement. 6 You know the difference between NCC-1701-A, NCC-1701-B, NCC-1701-C, NCC-1701-D and NCC-1701-E and which show/movies each were in. 7. You know what trouble tribbles can be. 8. You strongly believe that what ever network executive that decided to Cancel Firefly should be executed for crimes against humanity. 9. You know all the really good Klingon cuss words. 10. You can recite Space Balls line for line. I will try to come up a "You might be a Nerd if" later. I think I am about 60% Geek and 40% Nerd.

I have always heard that you should apply the rule of 3 to this question. If it a Guy answering the question - Divide by 3 for the real answer. If it is a Female - Multiply by 3 for the real answer. It is just sex. If you are keeping score, You are not doing it right. I don’t know or care to know my "Numbers".

Look for "No Talking, Just Head" The Band went by "The Heads" It was basically the Talking Heads without David Byrne. They have different singers on each track including Debbie Harry, Johnette Nepolitano, Ed Kowalczyk, Gordon Gano and others. Great Music.

Send them a drop Dead Letter and they should not call you anymore. From Clarkhoward.com

I am guessing 160 Registered Jumpers if there is a Pool.

Nope. Not at all. Redhead voids any and all other attributes.

Explorer/Director Here. Sounds accurate (but most of these things are written so that they always sound accurate ) The site said I needed to find an Explorer/Negotiator.

I think you need to get there if you want to judge.

Cattle Prod would be better. Most Skydivers are pretty thick headed, An Electric Fly swatter just isn’t going to get their attention.

I would have to go with a Self banned Poster.. Sudsyfist After that would be a toss up between Funks and Clay.

I am with you Michelle. No way I can Guarantee the behavior of others. I used to spend a lot of time (and Money) making 100`s of jello shots for every Boogie. I never charged a dime for mine (Unless it was ask for a donation to whatever Charity the Boogie was supporting). One of the reason I quit making jellos shot was that people took it all for granted. Most Expected me bring them and others would get rude and demand that I give them some. In general it got to be not worth the effort I put into it. If I am going to expected to also go behind others that I am giving out jello shots to and pick up their trash, we get right back to “Just not worth it”.

We would have to agree on Rules and of course "The Bet". I still kind of like the Leash and Collar bet but I am open to suggestions. I was really looking forward to walking you around last time we tried to do this. If we are going to open it up to more than just US, I guess we will have to come up with something new. Any one have ideas for a Fun/Relatively Harmless bet the contestants could make with each other? Rule Suggestions: 5 Neutral Judges selected. Each of us submit 2 Different Flavors (5 of each) All shots Numbered, Each Judge Rates each Shot from Best to Worst. Add up scores and see who won.

Please bring some. Micduran "Thinks" she can make some pretty good Jello Shots herself (and she is mostly right). I have also been known to occasionally show up with a few Jello shots. Mic and I have talked about a Jello shot contest for years but she always finds a way to back out.

Rome has been closed for several years now. Last I heard there was someone working on getting a new operation up and running there with a 182. To the OP.. I know the Farm offer great deals on both an AFF Package and a full license Package. Call Hans and he will take care of you. Skydive Atlanta in Thomaston is another great DZ but not sure if they offer package prices or not. Atlanta Skydiving Center in Cedartown has some great instructors and some cool jumpers there but the Owners/Management have a reputation for highly questionable and unethical business practices. Search for Skyride on here for more opinion on them (They are owned by the same people).

Oooohhh!! Can we play name that Rack?? I got a guess...

The only problem I see with the Sit & Go`s are if it is really winner take all. Heads up play can be a total crap shoot no matter how good you are. I like to see top 2 or 3 get paid. Online poker will generally only teach you bad habits at Low Limits and Micro Limits.

You are just saying that because you think you might actually have a chance of going home with one of them. I agree. Scantily clad women spinning fire does usually catch my attention.

I set up an Ameritrade account several years ago. Started out putting $5K in it. I have withdrawn $5k twice now and still have a current value of $2k+/- depending on the latest ticks. Definitely just a hobby for me. Ameritrade is very easy to use. I don’t claim to know anything about the market at all other than I like to buy when a Stock takes a Huge hit and then sell once it goes back up. One stock I have made most of my money on over that past 6 years is NOOF. This stock had some good swings. I first got in under $1 per share, Sold off when it hit $4, Sold more when it hit $6 and still regret holding what I had left when it hit $10. It is now back under $2 once again looking like a good Buy. (They say invest in what you know. NOOF is a Porn Company. They own most of the Porn Pay per view Channels.) Another stock I like right now is OME. They were trading at around $14 per share before the crash. Now they are around $3. Forbes named this company one the Americas 10 best small companies back in August. Looks like a great time to buy them right now and double or triple your money with in the next few months if things turn around. Finally the last Stock I like in the Penny range is PTN. They were working on a Viagra for women product that showed great promise but they ran into alot of political problems from religious nutcases that convinced the FDA there was too much potential for abuse with this new drug. With the new administration, They have may a chance at restarting the trials. This sock is trading around $.09 per share right now and in danger of being delisted. It is a HUGE Gamble but if they can get through this the returns would be astronomical. All of it 100% pure gamble. Don’t invest a penny more that you would be willing to toss out the window because you may be doing just that. I think there are some fantastic buys out there right but figuring out which ones those are is the hard part. Just my 1.032746 cents worth - according to the latest Ticks.

I can actually sympathize with him. I worked second shift for many years. My apartment was great until they started building the Carter Center literally right outside my window. Nothing like getting home work at 3am and then getting woke up 4 hours later when the bulldozers start outside your window. Since the construction project was scheduled to take two years, I ended up having to move once my lease was finally up. Still spent months trying to live on 3 to 4 hours sleep a night. Not pleasant at all.

A good steak doesn’t need anything, However a very cheap cut of meat masquerading as a Steak may. I did not see either of two favorite on your list: Dales Allegro

I am assuming that you know the basic rules and how the actually works. Here are a few tip for better play. 1. Dont play small Pocket Pairs from early position (Early position means you will be one of the first few to act after the Flop). Fold em unless it is a soft table where few people are raising preflop. IF you are in late position and it has limped around to you, RAISE with a small pocket pair and hope to take down right there. 2. You need a better had to call with than you do to raise with. Calling with questionable hands is almost always a bad idea. 3. Play Tight but Aggressive. (As you should in all parts off life) 4. If you are seeing more than 3 out of every 10 Flops, You are playing way too loose. 5. Pay close attention to Pot Odds (How much is in the Pot vs how much it takes to call). Especially if you are on a draw. A Flush Draw after Flop is only going to hit 35% of the time. Make sure the Pot is paying you at least 3 to 1 other wise fold. Many years ago, Doyle Brunsons Niece played in the WSOP having never played hold em before in her life. Doyle gave her a very simple system.. A-Q Offsuit and/or A-10 Suited or Better move all in, otherwise fold. Using this system she made it to the final day and cashed.

and sometimes that is exactly what we need. (Both the looker and lookee.) But I agree, Those just dont quite have the same apeal as the wickid weasel and I cant explain why.

In a Perfect world, I would love to see a "Camera Free" zone at Boogies. A Roped off area with signs clearly posted where anyone caught with a Camera or other recoding devise would be ejected from the Boogie (After the Contents of said Recording devise were destroyed.) If we could do that, I would bet that there would be a lot more Shenanigans. Unfortunately we don’t live in a perfect world. thanks to digital Cameras, Boogies will never again be what they once were.

Poll is up in bonfire. http://www.dropzone.com/cgi-bin/forum/gforum.cgi?post=3472098#3472098 Add another old Fart here. Same with DJ`s, I just dont get it. They play records, What is the Big deal? Never understood the fuss over "Great DJ`s". I can only take "Thunka Thunka Thunka Thunka" for so long.

What are your thoughts on Boogie entertainment for after Jumping Hours? Which of these would you most like to see at a Large Boogie? I personally am not a fan of Bands playing at Boogies. No one ever listens and the Band usually get pissed about it. A Total waste of time and money in my opinion. Techno\Rave DJ`s?? That is fine as long as they keep it in the hangar (meaning the you don’t have to hear it outside the hangar) but still something that I do NOT think really adds to the party. DJ playing Music with Words? Not bad if they understand that their purpose d to be back ground noise. Free Beer - Now we are talking!! Take whatever money that would be spent on bands and DJ`s and buy a couple extra Kegs. What are your thoughts?
