  1. I'm doing both. Buying the 2 disk set so I have the theater version, and I'll buy the extended edition once it comes out. :-) Blues, Dave "I AM A PROFESSIONAL EXTREME ATHLETE!" (drink Mountain Dew)
  2. Why would you want to fish for rocks? Kinda tough to filet aren't they? Blues, Dave "I AM A PROFESSIONAL EXTREME ATHLETE!" (drink Mountain Dew)
  3. I'm surprized he didn't go after the porn actress. That seems to be more his style. Blues, Dave "I AM A PROFESSIONAL EXTREME ATHLETE!" (drink Mountain Dew)
  4. Definitely not a good combination. Jumping plus ear or sinus problems = bad juju. Blues, Dave "I AM A PROFESSIONAL EXTREME ATHLETE!" (drink Mountain Dew)
  5. One of the problems with living in a small town is we seem to get more than 15 minutes. I'm on the local news at least a few times a year, whether it's for skydiving or some volunteer work I do. I stopped bothering to tune in and see myself a few years ago. I've also been a pictured and/or quoted source in the paper a few times. Blues, Dave "I AM A PROFESSIONAL EXTREME ATHLETE!"

  6. His reaction upon landing and the next 20 minutes were awesome. Hilarious!...in an awesome sort of way. Oh...and hi Kevin. Blues, Dave "I AM A PROFESSIONAL EXTREME ATHLETE!" (drink Mountain Dew)
  7. I run stairs at a football stadium for thirty minutes (yesterday I covered 5000 stairs, 2500 each way
  8. I am heartened to find out you've merely been trolling in this thread. I'll admit it, you got me. Blues, Dave "I AM A PROFESSIONAL EXTREME ATHLETE!" (drink Mountain Dew)
  9. Timothy McVeigh? Charles Whitman? Eric Harris/Dylan Kleybold? Theodore Kaczynski? You probably think these people weren't "terrorists" just because they weren't Muslim, right? Does torching churches in the South count as terrorism? Burning crosses in people's yards? I'd say the primary goal of those activities is fear. Blues, Dave "I AM A PROFESSIONAL EXTREME ATHLETE!"

  10. It was Jamie Sommers, and the fact is, she wasnt all that good at skydiving. Thats why she became the bionic woman if you recall. She had a streamer and rode it all the way in. No attempt at a cutaway. OK, you get credit for the last name, but I was correct on the first name. Yeah, I knew she wasn't a good skydiver, but hell I ain't that good myself. I wish I could get all those cool bionics for just missing my slot or going low or something, not having to land a streamer.
  11. better then being a genital wart Really? Doesn't that depend on what part of the body you get to spend the rest of your life clinging to? Or more importantly whose body part? "I AM A PROFESSIONAL EXTREME ATHLETE!" (drink Mountain Dew)
  12. My DZO's first solo freefall was his second jump. His first demo was his 8th jump. Things were a little different in 1962. :-) Blues, Dave "I AM A PROFESSIONAL EXTREME ATHLETE!" (drink Mountain Dew)
  13. The "SUPER" must be why they can safely put 24 jumpers in it instead of the usual 21-23. Blues, Dave "I AM A PROFESSIONAL EXTREME ATHLETE!" (drink Mountain Dew)
  14. I'd have to go with Lindsay Wagner, aka Jaime Summer, skydiver, ass-kicker, and super-spy extraordinaire. Blues, Dave "I AM A PROFESSIONAL EXTREME ATHLETE!" (drink Mountain Dew)
  15. Really? So what of Tommy Piras' effect on CYPRES use? I promise the name had more to do with the increase than the details of his incident. Blues, Dave "I AM A PROFESSIONAL EXTREME ATHLETE!" (drink Mountain Dew)
  16. Oh no you don't! You right-winger's ain't getting off THAT easy! Blues, Dave "I AM A PROFESSIONAL EXTREME ATHLETE!" (drink Mountain Dew)
  17. While the CEQ did assume an untraditional role, it was an unusual period of time. Having read the relevant portions (pages 14-17), I'll agree that the editing was a bit over the top. But I wouldn't say it was anything terrible. They were correct that the risks from exposure to such low levels of asbestos are minimal, and did anyone really need the EPA to tell them there was particular matter (read "dust") in the air and financial district offices? Blues, Dave "I AM A PROFESSIONAL EXTREME ATHLETE!" (drink Mountain Dew)
  18. You should respond to the "What are you really good at?" thread with "backpedalling."
  19. In Steel's defense, I guess I'd hesitate to call all of these attacks terrorism. Most are more like guerrilla fighters trying to oust an invading army...or exactly like that. Blues, Dave "I AM A PROFESSIONAL EXTREME ATHLETE!" (drink Mountain Dew)
  20. Which part isn't true? We now HAVE found evidence that Iraq was planning to attack us? Or there were more car bombings etc last year than there are this year? Blues, Dave "I AM A PROFESSIONAL EXTREME ATHLETE!" (drink Mountain Dew)
  21. I'm absolutely horrible at remembering people's names. It's not uncommon for me to forget people's names within seconds of hearing them. It's really irritating most times, but luckily my girlfriend is especially good at it and can usually help me out. Blues, Dave "I AM A PROFESSIONAL EXTREME ATHLETE!" (drink Mountain Dew)
  22. I'm pretty good understanding things I read, especially legal-eese, and I'm pretty good at cooking & pairing good food/wine matches. Blues, Dave "I AM A PROFESSIONAL EXTREME ATHLETE!" (drink Mountain Dew)
  23. Oooohh...that sounds like a real blast! Blues, Dave "I AM A PROFESSIONAL EXTREME ATHLETE!" (drink Mountain Dew)
  24. The harder it is to get there, the easier it'll be to get back. Basically it's a SWAG though. Unless there's plenty of alternate landing areas between exit and DZ, build in some margin for error. Also carry a cell phone and some cash (for drinking at the bar while waiting for a ride). The best I've done was only 4 or 5 miles from 10.5. I know a guy who claims close to 15 miles from 11 or 12 thousand feet. Smokin' uppers had him passing the cars on the freeway below him. Still, he came up close to a mile short of the DZ and had to land in a mall parking lot. Blues, Dave "I AM A PROFESSIONAL EXTREME ATHLETE!" (drink Mountain Dew)
  25. He was elected as a senator in 1952, following the mid-term death of senator Brien McMahon. He was reelected in 1956 and retired after that term ended in 1963. While I mostly agree with you, I think the issue is a bit more complicated in this instance. He was a rich-boy version of John Walker Lindh during WWII, and I consider that to infer somewhat of a "midas touch". Note I am not accusing Dubya of being a nazi, but rather have issue with such a line being allowed to propogate itself to the highest seat in our nation...twice. Bush I and Bush II didn't win that seat because they were the best possible candidates in all the land, they got there in large part because of their "roots."
