careless smokers suck! what are they doing smoking in the packing area anyway? there oughta be a law! Oh, I have slipped the surly bonds of earth And danced the skies on laughter-silvered wings

ah, you're confusing them with the phi beta kappa crabs... "Jumping out of planes for the thrill of it all." -J.Geils Band

actually, it the just-right-of-center section that speaks french (quebec is offically french), then you get to new brunswick (officially bilingual, the only province that is), then the rest of the maritimes (nova scotia and pei), and of course, newfoundland, which for some reason is not considered a maritime province. go figure. and you left out some of our other great canadian foods! atlantic lobster bay of fundy scallops tim horton's coffee maple syrop poutine (you gotta try this, fries with gravy and cheese curds, yummy!)

i posted this as a reply to someone else's post, and then thought that maybe it deserved it's own post. it's a poem written by a young canadian pilot in the early years of ww2, but i think it also touches on why we love to jump... High Flight by John Gillespie Magee, Jr. Oh, I have slipped the surly bonds of earth And danced the skies on laughter-silvered wings; Sunward I've climbed, and joined the tumbling mirth Of sun-split clouds -- and done a hundred things You have not dreamed of -- wheeled and soared and swung High in the sunlit silence. Hov'ring there, I've chased the shouting wind along, and flung My eager craft through footless halls of air. Up, up the long, delirious, burning blue I've topped the windswept heights with easy grace Where never lark, or even eagle flew. And, while with silent, lifting mind I've trod The high untrespassed sanctity of space, Put out my hand, and touched the face of God. Pilot Officer Magee joined the Royal Canadian Air Force in October 1940, at age 18. He went to England to fly Spitfires. After qualifying, he was piloting one on a test flight into the stratosphere at 30,000 feet when he got the inspiration for "High Flight." Magee was killed in action during a dogfight December 11, 1941, at age 19. "Jumping out of planes for the thrill of it all." -J.Geils Band

there was a poem that we had to memorize way back when i was in grade 7 i think it was, and for some reason the first part of it has always stuck in my mind.. i did a quick google search and found what i think it is, never realized how applicable it is to our sport. the following is a grab from a page here.

i remember that now, there's usually a story in the paper every time he stages one of those things... don't remember his name either... "Jumping out of planes for the thrill of it all." -J.Geils Band

you have four boobies? "Jumping out of planes for the thrill of it all." -J.Geils Band

yup, that's for ms only as far as i know... the new netscape is skinnable as well, not sure about linux/bsd/'nix stuff though... "Jumping out of planes for the thrill of it all." -J.Geils Band

maybe it's the world's biggest "kiss my ass" convention "Jumping out of planes for the thrill of it all." -J.Geils Band

check out this link. i think it's what you want... that link is for ie5, but you could probably dig around a bit at M$ and find one for different versions. "Jumping out of planes for the thrill of it all." -J.Geils Band

my wife sent that to me with the heading, "these are not sheep", so of course that's what i thought it was at first glance... "Jumping out of planes for the thrill of it all." -J.Geils Band

i think the pic is self explanatory, or not. "Jumping out of planes for the thrill of it all." -J.Geils Band

dammit!! stuck at work and the firewall blocks vid! "Jumping out of planes for the thrill of it all." -J.Geils Band

thanks! i won't mention it to the missus, but if i can steer her towards a north shore resort, and then 'happen' to find out there's a dz handy...

cool! thanks, i figured it was something simple. i'll have to remember that, my legs have a habit of wandering off on their own. my jm has told me i look like wile e. coyote on exit, running in midair! "Jumping out of planes for the thrill of it all." -J.Geils Band

i give up, what exactly is toe tapping? "Jumping out of planes for the thrill of it all." -J.Geils Band

The long term implications of drugs/procedures must be fully considered. Over the past few years, more money has been spent on breast implants and Viagra than is spent on Alzheimer's Disease research. It is believed that by the year 2030 there will be a large number of people wandering around with huge breasts and erections who can't remember what to do with them.
