Ben, you guys looked awesome! Sorry about the NJ's. It was cool sharing the plane with you on most of the loads (we were secretly rooting for you guys because of that ) Andi Perris KII Never meddle in the affairs of dragons, for you are crunchy and taste good with ketchup!

WAY TO GO, CJ!!!! Woo hoo! I left before the semifinals started, so last I saw, CJ was in 3rd... I KNEW you'd kick ass, man. There's only one problem...I bet they're gonna make you move up next year, huh? Andi Never meddle in the affairs of dragons, for you are crunchy and taste good with ketchup!

heh...I love trance or "techno"...though ask someone who knows and they'll tell you there's no way to classify all electronic music under the term "techno". Blech. There are so many sub-genres: Trance, House, breakbeat, chill, etc... My dream (if anyone wants to ever get me the gift of a lifetime, here it is) is to put together a "best of" video then have BT score it. BT is a classically trained musician who makes electronic music that is absolutely amazing. He also scored "The Fast and The Furious" and "Monster"...he is definitely different when it comes to techno. So if anyone out there knows BT and can ask him to score a skydiving video for me... heh... Never meddle in the affairs of dragons, for you are crunchy and taste good with ketchup!

Bill said it for me. This is one of my pet peeves...not only spelling and grammar, but that goddammed l33t speak that I see everywhere. Replacing letters with numbers and symbols CAN'T take less time, so why do they do it? WHY? It's stupid, it makes the person typing it look stupid, and I immediately delete or ignore them. If you can't form a coherent sentence, I will, without a doubt, question your intelligence. I know it's prejudicial of me, but I can't help it. I also will not patronize stores or other establishments who can't tell the difference between your and you're, its and it's, there, their, and they're, or improperly plaster apostrophes all over their signage. Yes, I'm a grammar tyrant, and proud! Never meddle in the affairs of dragons, for you are crunchy and taste good with ketchup!

Why don't you let me know when you're coming, and I might be able to give you a ride. I live 2 min north of LAX and go out to Perris almost every weekend. Give me a shout. Plus, it's totally free! Andi Never meddle in the affairs of dragons, for you are crunchy and taste good with ketchup!

ranting man in above article needs to get more facts. http://www.defenselink.mil/ra/secondary/componentsfaq.html I don't think this has changed much since Vietnam. Note that the designation "Ready Reserve" encompasses everyting, including the Individual Ready Reserve. Now, I would bet that Kerry 'signed an agreement' to serve at least 3 years active, then the rest in the IRR. I was an AF officer. I was active duty for 6 years, but the rules say when you get your commission, you agree to giving the Dept of Defense 8 years of your life. Because I got out before my 8 years were up, I was automatically enrolled in the IRR, which means I'm a member of the "Ready Reserve" as well. However, I don't have to train, and while I could be called up if they are desparate, it probably won't happen. So am I AWOL? Nope. When my 8 years is up, I will be transferred to the Inactive (standby) reserves. Was Kerry really required to train, or was he in the IRR? If he got out before the full 8 years, I would guess the IRR. But this article doesn't make that distinction. Facts...not just for breakfast anymore.

Gee, Grafico...where'd you hear THAT one? Or are you responsible for that one? LOL Yay! The more girly shirts, the better! Never meddle in the affairs of dragons, for you are crunchy and taste good with ketchup!

So, what you're saying is sarcasm isn't funny. OK. I stand by my assertion. You are manifesting a lack of a sense of humor. Sarcasm is OFTEN used as a humor device, and in this case, it was extremely funny. Sorry you took it so personally. Sounds like someone needs to get over themselves. You think you can do that, HON?

Well, what totally amazes me is the complete lack of a sense of humor that many of the people on here have (as a matter of fact, most of the humor-deficient people seem to be the Bush supporters). Damn, I read that paragraph there and laughed out loud. Sorry (but not surprised) to see that others take themselves so seriously. Never meddle in the affairs of dragons, for you are crunchy and taste good with ketchup!

heh. This is my issue. This is what decides for me who I'll vote for. There are other issues that sway my opinion, but because of his record on the environment, I could never ever vote for Bush. I hate that to most people it comes down to being pro-environment or pro-human race. It's not that black and white. As a matter of fact, I think being pro-environment IS being pro-human race. I just happen to take a longer view of that than the current administration and their big-oil cronies. Yep, I'm a tree-hugger. I'm proud of that, if not the negative connotation of the term. There's nothing bad about it. I would rather my children be able to breathe in 30 years than me be able to drive around in an urban assault vehicle that gets 2 mpg right now...

Dave, you may want to consider your words more carefully, because there ARE people who post on here who are or were members of said academy teams. You seem like a nice guy, but I really don't appreciate being called a dickhead by anyone. I don't even have one!

1. Change my phone number 2. Hire a really good accountant 3. Do what my really good accountant says 4. See #3 5.

Hard is the life of the fan of a mid-major school. Caught in an endless catch-22 of scheduling, ridiculed by the Big 10s and SECs of the world, never receiving their due come bowl time...tis a hard road to play for a mid-major school. I'm becoming more and more disenchanted with college football, especially with what happened to my team last year. They were the best mid-major in the country, and the one team that would have made a good bowl game wimped out because they were afraid to lose to a team from the MAC. Miami of Ohio could have played hard in any of the BCS bowls last year. BCS sucks. Until there's a playoff, I don't know how much more of college football I can stand.

it could be bicepetal (sp?) tendonitis. This an inflammation of the tendon that runs down your upper arm and holds your bicep in place... I get this after a long stretch of training. Does it hurt all the way down almost to your elbow? Of course I could be wrong, but there's more possibilities than just a shoulder problem.

whoo, boy, if you had gone to a motorcycle forum and asked this, it would have started a shitstorm parallel to RSL vs. no RSL or AAD vs. no AAD here. you may want to ask this in the speaker's corner... Only speaking for myself, yes, loud pipes are unnecessary and annoying, even assholic. The harleys you hear with the loud pipes are not actually sold that way...those are aftermarket. among a certain set of bikers, the louder the pipes and the lower the idle RPM, the "cooler" you are. There's two camps. "Loud pipes save lives" vs. "loud pipes lose rights". the first group argues that drivers who hear bikes are less likely to plow into them with the excuse "I didn't even see him". The second group argues that said loud bikes piss off people and cause motorcyclists to be seen in such a negative light that many of our rights are overlooked or taken away. I'm with the second group. I also don't think a soccer mom in her hummer with 2 kids in the back and the radio on and the windows up would be able to hear a nuclear bomb going off 100 yards away, much less a motorcycle. BTW, the AMA (american motorcyclist Association) is another lobbying group that is working hard on the insurance for "dangerous" hobbies issue...

Seriously, man, you need to get up to Santa Fe or Taos. I think you'd change your mind. ETA: I wasn't born there. I lived there for four years, and I miss it. Never meddle in the affairs of dragons, for you are crunchy and taste good with ketchup!

heh. Are you saying it's "tight and judgmental" to question taking a 3-yr-old to see a movie like AVP? Seriously now. Think about it. a 3 year old. AVP. Forgetting about all that violence in the media stuff, what kind of parent would NOT understand that the stuff on the screen at AVP could (and probably does) scare the living crap out of a baby that age? How cruel. Babies that age want to be loved and cared for, not scared out of their wits. So, are laws against rape and murder "tight and judgmental?" How about the age limits to movies that already exist but obviously aren't enforced (as the case cited here)? Where's the line?

That is awesome, but now the IOC can no longer argue that the reason skydiving is not considered is because it requires a vehicle... Never meddle in the affairs of dragons, for you are crunchy and taste good with ketchup!
