  1. I've lost my copies of the soundtrack. I can neither confirm nor deny that I occasionally sing these songs despite the absence of those pre-recorded professional, umm, backups. Blues, Dave "I AM A PROFESSIONAL EXTREME ATHLETE!" (drink Mountain Dew)
  2. My "start time" is 7:00. I usually get to work between 6 and 6:30. That gives me an extra 2-4 hours per week in case I have an accidental midweek drunk and don't show up till 9:00. Assuming no such calamity happens and all my work's done, it's nice to occasionally reclaim that time late in the week. Blues, Dave "I AM A PROFESSIONAL EXTREME ATHLETE!" (drink Mountain Dew)
  3. Copied from The Seattle Times Blues, Dave "I AM A PROFESSIONAL EXTREME ATHLETE!" (drink Mountain Dew)
  4. Try a spinal tap sometime. Blues, Dave "I AM A PROFESSIONAL EXTREME ATHLETE!" (drink Mountain Dew)
  5. Not such a good idea. She got really pissed the last time I came on her. Blues, Dave "I AM A PROFESSIONAL EXTREME ATHLETE!" (drink Mountain Dew)
  6. Me too, especially if we extend it to car/driver coverage. Otherwise, well, the precedent already exists to charge different insurance premiums for gender-based risk discrepancies. Blues, Dave "I AM A PROFESSIONAL EXTREME ATHLETE!" (drink Mountain Dew)
  7. When right here you said it was? Someone needing a kidney donor in order to survive doesn't make it your fault that they need a kidney, nor your responsibility to give them one. Someone needing a helping hand of any sort doesn't make it your fault or your responsibility to provide it. Blues, Dave "I AM A PROFESSIONAL EXTREME ATHLETE!" (drink Mountain Dew)
  8. Absolutely. And the timing is good too. Kicking a guy while he's down reinforces the lesson, plus it's easier to collect the beer money before he uses it to pay the hospital bills. Good on him!
  9. That's how we knew where all Saddam's WMDs were? Blues, Dave Did you bother to read the link I posted with my statement? Not really. I clicked it and saw what it was about (the new intel group in the DOD, about which I've already read.) Blues, Dave "I AM A PROFESSIONAL EXTREME ATHLETE!" (drink Mountain Dew)
  10. Haven't seen that... but maybe I'll take your advice and check it out.
  11. Think he's over 40K? Anyone know if Kellner's still holding his jump number lead? Last I remember, Kellner was a bit ahead in jump numbers, and Dause had a commanding lead in freefall time. Blues, Dave "I AM A PROFESSIONAL EXTREME ATHLETE!" (drink Mountain Dew)
  12. You're making a mistake that many do...on both sides of the issue. The heat wave in France last year is no more significant that the cold snap in the US this winter. If you eat a 3-lb steak for dinner and thus gain 3 lbs in less than an hour, does it mean you'll weigh 700 lbs by the end of the week? Blues, Dave "I AM A PROFESSIONAL EXTREME ATHLETE!"

  13. You'll have to refresh my memory of MiGs. I can't recall whether they are chemical, biological, or radiological weapons. Blues, Dave "I AM A PROFESSIONAL EXTREME ATHLETE!" (drink Mountain Dew)
  14. Then again they might simply perceive that staying on Bush's good side is in their national interest. You know, the whole "with us or against us" thing? Blues, Dave "I AM A PROFESSIONAL EXTREME ATHLETE!" (drink Mountain Dew)
  15. That's how we knew where all Saddam's WMDs were? Blues, Dave "I AM A PROFESSIONAL EXTREME ATHLETE!" (drink Mountain Dew)
  16. your lucky, I watched the browns suck growing up and they still do - they had "the fumble" on espn classic wed night I've been a Seahawks fan my whole life (ok, since their inception). They made it to the AFC championship game once...in 1984. My Mariners haven't done much better. Between the two, they have zero championship appearances (superbowl or world series). At least the Sonics have been to the championship 3 times, and even won it once...in 1979. Blues, Dave "I AM A PROFESSIONAL EXTREME ATHLETE!" (drink Mountain Dew)
  17. Well, definitely, but the Little Fish in Big Ponds are called NEWBIES! Everyone has been there. Thankfully, newbie insecurities and inexperience can usually be dealt with by flying more and gaining experience.
  18. That one can be amusing in both directions. Blues, Dave "I AM A PROFESSIONAL EXTREME ATHLETE!" (drink Mountain Dew)
  19. That's gay... I almost posted something along those lines earlier. tshirthell.com has a shirt that says "Homosexuals are gay." Blues, Dave "I AM A PROFESSIONAL EXTREME ATHLETE!" (drink Mountain Dew)
  20. Argh. I don't get this. That's YOUR money! Increase your deductions and save your own money during the year. I agree for two reasons, one real, the other conspiratorial: 1 - The IRS is not your friend. Why would you want to give them a $3000 interest-free loan? 2 - I've always thought of overpayment as an automatic red flag that you're not paying enough taxes. There's probably some group of geeks sitting somewhere looking at who has how much coming back. By overpaying, and living long enough to collect your refund, you're simply proving to them that you can survive without that money. And if YOU don't need it, they'll gladly find someone else to give it to. Blues, Dave "I AM A PROFESSIONAL EXTREME ATHLETE!" (drink Mountain Dew)
  21. I'm not sure the reasons are all the same. True, all those countries have been subjected to trade embargoes by the US (is it OFAC?), but I'm not sure they all earned that status via the same route (conduct or legislation). Blues, Dave "I AM A PROFESSIONAL EXTREME ATHLETE!" (drink Mountain Dew)
  22. ... So hard to see That a woman like you Could wait around For a man like me Guess I'm on my way Mighty glad you stayed ... Blues, Dave "I AM A PROFESSIONAL EXTREME ATHLETE!" (drink Mountain Dew)
  23. Her own jump plane. A beer truck is a close runner-up. Blues, Dave "I AM A PROFESSIONAL EXTREME ATHLETE!" (drink Mountain Dew)
  24. I always wait till the end too. What's money back? The IRS is going to give YOU money? How do I get in on that??! Blues, Dave "I AM A PROFESSIONAL EXTREME ATHLETE!" (drink Mountain Dew)
  25. We get a few storms like that in eastern Washington every year. They can be fun as long as you've got everything squared away before they arrive. Is it true that the winds howl through the "plains" states every year? Blues, Dave "I AM A PROFESSIONAL EXTREME ATHLETE!" (drink Mountain Dew)
