Marry? And relegate perfectly good sheets to "sleep-only" status? I'm sorry, but I'm still too young to spend the rest of my life in celibacy, er, I mean "matrimony". Blues, Dave "I AM A PROFESSIONAL EXTREME ATHLETE!" (drink Mountain Dew)

Aren't nearly as comfy as freshly washed 1000 thread count sateen. Blues, Dave "I AM A PROFESSIONAL EXTREME ATHLETE!" (drink Mountain Dew)

The owners of the stadium want it closed? That's good enough reason for me, and I'm kind of rooting for the White Sox. Like Wendy asked, would the situation be the same if the Twins were playing in the WS instead of the White Sox? Blues, Dave "I AM A PROFESSIONAL EXTREME ATHLETE!" (drink Mountain Dew)

I agree, and said Blues, Dave "I AM A PROFESSIONAL EXTREME ATHLETE!" (drink Mountain Dew)

Neither. The education of a child is (or at least should be) the parents' responsibility, and a deficient education is the parents' fault. Blues, Dave "I AM A PROFESSIONAL EXTREME ATHLETE!" (drink Mountain Dew)

Huh? What are the massive costs MLB is being forced to carry during the WS? Blues, Dave "I AM A PROFESSIONAL EXTREME ATHLETE!" (drink Mountain Dew)

During the regular season, a team with a retractable roof stadium makes the decision on whether the roof is open or closed. During the playoffs, MLB decides. Apparently MLB has told Houston they the roof open at Minute Maid park. The Astro's want it closed because their record is substantially better with it closed than open (closed roof = noisier = better home-field advantage). I can kinda see both sides of the coin, but personally would defer to the Astro's on this one. One way or another, the fans paid/are paying for the stadium and their interests should be priority one in deciding how it's configured. If the Chicago fans don't like it, they can finance a retractable (or closed) roof of their own. Blues, Dave "I AM A PROFESSIONAL EXTREME ATHLETE!" (drink Mountain Dew)

Well that would make sense. Presumably there are no compatibility issues using the HD from a 6 year old computer (i.e. the connection should be the same, just plug it in and read it)? Next question, this time software figures in as well (XP Media Center) - Is it possible to have two different user profiles that use different hardware configurations? I'd like to have profile for user "workstation" send video through the monitor out and (2.1) sound through the regular (stereo) speaker jack, for when I'm sitting at my workstation. I'd like to also have a profile for user "couchpotato" that will send video through the DVI-out to my hi-def TV and also route the (5.1) sound through the S/PDIF (optical) to my surround sound system. I'm thinking this will require a bluetooth keyboard & mouse, since I can't do line of site to two different places, plus an adaptor to make the computer's DVI port connect to the TV's HDMI port, but it seems like it ought to work. If I can do it this way, I can work at the computer when I want, but easily switch to wireless w/ premium audio/video for gaming or web surfing. Blues, Dave "I AM A PROFESSIONAL EXTREME ATHLETE!"

I just got a new computer and want to transfer a bunch of stuff from my old computer to my new machine. The problem is that the old computer only has a 1.44 mb floppy drive and a CD-ROM drive...i.e. nothing particularly useful. My camera (Sony PC-35) has a 256 mb memory stick, and when it's plugged into the computer via USB, the computer seems to treat it just like any other drive. So what I'm wondering is whether I could just copy the relevant files to my camera/memory stick and move them over to the new computer that way. Will the camera freak out trying to write a *.doc file to the stick? Or will it not realize that the 1's and 0's are somewhat organized somewhat differently than in a .jpg?

Doesn't seem all that bizarre to me. Actually, it seems pretty normal as far as skydiving dreams go. Blues, Dave "I AM A PROFESSIONAL EXTREME ATHLETE!" (drink Mountain Dew)

A phobia is an irrational fear. Not wanting poop around your mouth seems pretty damned rational to me. Blues, Dave "I AM A PROFESSIONAL EXTREME ATHLETE!" (drink Mountain Dew)

C'mon man, you know that touched a nerve! "Get up everybody and sing!" Just start snapping your fingers and then shake it Steve! Shake it! Blues, Dave "I AM A PROFESSIONAL EXTREME ATHLETE!" (drink Mountain Dew)

While we're on the subject, why do sammiches always taste better when someone else makes them. I can use just the right amount of the best fixin's, and a bologna/miracle whip sandwich made by someone else will taste bette. Blues, Dave "I AM A PROFESSIONAL EXTREME ATHLETE!" (drink Mountain Dew)

Dude, do NOT listen to her. Such things would set a horrible precedent! You think we all want to have to do all those things every day just to get layed (worse yet, with no expectation of getting layed!)? Following those directions will get your man-card immediately and permanently revoked! Blues, Dave "I AM A PROFESSIONAL EXTREME ATHLETE!" (drink Mountain Dew)

That's a bigger gasp than you know. Why the fuck would anyone *want* to have sex with Jason??! Blues, Dave "I AM A PROFESSIONAL EXTREME ATHLETE!" (drink Mountain Dew)

Mine was with Larry Warner (D-1312). I barrel-rolled reaching for the grip as he was closing, and we landed off. Blues, Dave "I AM A PROFESSIONAL EXTREME ATHLETE!" (drink Mountain Dew)

Tell him to toughen up! If he loves you, he'll love everything about you, including your adorable little girl snores. If that doesn't work, hit him over the head with something large and heavy. Not only will he sleep peacefully that night, but he'll quickly learn what's best for him. You should have taken me up on that offer of the other side of my tent in Hollister. Then you'd know what snoring really is. Blues, Dave "I AM A PROFESSIONAL EXTREME ATHLETE!" (drink Mountain Dew)

I've woken myself up snoring. Worse, I've caught myself snoring before I fall asleep. There's nothing like not being able to go to sleep because of your own snoring! Blues, Dave "I AM A PROFESSIONAL EXTREME ATHLETE!" (drink Mountain Dew)

Some variant of the whuffo question is definitely the most common. Other common questions include: What got you into that? or So, were you in the military? or (and I can't believe no one else has mentioned this one) So have you ever jumped one of those gliding type parachutes? (whuffo's seem to think we all still jump rounds) I had one ask me if I'd ever *seen* a square parachute, like I was gonna say "No, what's that?" and they'd be able to explain it to me also So is there a regular place that you do that or do you and some buddies just get together somewhere once in awhile? I still have to laugh every time I get a variant of the "So do you and your friends practice those group things?" It surprizes me that their whuffo ass knows about dirt-diving. I mean, I damn sure never think of a skydive as "practice" after exit! Question: do we really have to pull if it's just a practice jump? Blues, Dave "I AM A PROFESSIONAL EXTREME ATHLETE!"
