  1. Why does this make me laugh? Blues, Dave "I AM A PROFESSIONAL EXTREME ATHLETE!" (drink Mountain Dew)
  2. I've been playing WoW since October, but not any other games. I've got a 59 mage (alliance), two newbie death knights (59 alliance, 58 horde), a 38 druid (alliance), and a 15 warlock (horde). I'd say I'm ok...not great but not terrible. From 38-55, my mage could beat most players up to 2-3 levels above him, and occasionally 4-5, but now I'm pretty average and re-gearing. I'm kind of embarassed by the fact that I now understand a lot of the lingo. Blues, Dave "I AM A PROFESSIONAL EXTREME ATHLETE!" (drink Mountain Dew)
  3. Thanks...I'd heard clips of it on the way into work, but the video is WAY better. Between that and this, my morning is made. Blues, Dave "I AM A PROFESSIONAL EXTREME ATHLETE!" (drink Mountain Dew)

    I find it a better response than just repeating what the last guy said. Only marginally. It's supposed to be a discussion forum. If a person is in complete agreement it doesn't move the discussion forward if nothing is added or debated. It adds a data point. Lots of data points can bolster an argument.

  5. You have to pick one...they're either naked or wearing lingerie, which is it? Blues, Dave "I AM A PROFESSIONAL EXTREME ATHLETE!" (drink Mountain Dew)
  6. No kidding...did you notice the mods recently moved one of his threads to the Women's Forum? Blues, Dave "I AM A PROFESSIONAL EXTREME ATHLETE!" (drink Mountain Dew)
  7. Could you be charged with cruelty for singing to your daughter? Blues, Dave "I AM A PROFESSIONAL EXTREME ATHLETE!" (drink Mountain Dew)
  8. I always wanted to try it, so I established it as my reward if I met a specific goal. I met that goal, then set it as my reward when I met the next goal, and the next, and the next...a couple years later I finally failed to meet one of those goals, so I actually signed up for FJC (without telling anyone, so nobody would be the wiser if I chickened out). It scared the hell out of me, so I tried it again. 2100 jumps later, it still scares me, and I figure I'll keep going till it doesn't. Blues, Dave "I AM A PROFESSIONAL EXTREME ATHLETE!"

  9. Ok, OK! I apologize for a poor choice of words. But did you need to put that image in my head? It's logically flawed anyhow, as Remi's a sub. Blues, Dave "I AM A PROFESSIONAL EXTREME ATHLETE!" (drink Mountain Dew)
  10. If it were a lower grade position (less media scrutiny) for which I felt sufficiently competent, and I believed I'd be allowed to do the work to the best of my ability, I'd work for an administration regardless of party affiliation. The individuals above me would significantly affect my decision...I'd be ok with Obama, but not Bush Jr (I'd be ok with Bush Sr.) My desire for less "fame" would guarantee at least one or two people between me and the President, and my impressions of them would significantly affect my decision.

  11. Speaking as one of those heavier jumpers, would I get banned if I called you a bitch? I do still do LOTS of PLFs every year, demonstrating each one several times each first jump course. I've seen other instructors that don't make them jump off anything, but rather let them fall down from a standing position, while on a packing mat! Personally, I figure if they're too afraid (or too unhealthy) to jump off the tailgate of a pickup truck, I'd rather give them a refund than let them jump. So far this has happened exactly once...a guy suddenly remembered his recent knee surgery that he'd failed to mention on his waiver. Blues, Dave "I AM A PROFESSIONAL EXTREME ATHLETE!"

  12. Because they're tired of carrying them? I put myself down at least as often as I do others, so that evens things out, right? Blues, Dave "I AM A PROFESSIONAL EXTREME ATHLETE!" (drink Mountain Dew)
  13. Today I make my students do all those, but from the tailgate of the pickup rather than the cab....ahh, the pussification of skydiving. Blues, Dave "I AM A PROFESSIONAL EXTREME ATHLETE!" (drink Mountain Dew)
  14. While I haven't been opining on the evils of round reserves, my one jump on a 26' LoPo convinced me that I didn't want one in my rig...and that my PLF training should have been from the top of the jump shack for a bit more realism.

  15. Perhaps the strongest communities are those that care for their weaker members. Blues, Dave "I AM A PROFESSIONAL EXTREME ATHLETE!" (drink Mountain Dew)
  16. Ariel was hot, but damn she’d smell fishy. Jessica…very hot, but tall, and even more trouble than the average redhead. No, the hottest cartoon had the whole geeky thing going on in addition to red hair …Daphne from Scooby Doo. And somehow I imagine she’d enjoy joining me for a lapdance from Stripperella. Blues, Dave "I AM A PROFESSIONAL EXTREME ATHLETE!" (drink Mountain Dew)
  17. OKAY that was funny....to answer your question, i see stupid people. "They're all around me. Some of them don't even know that they're stupid." Blues, Dave "I AM A PROFESSIONAL EXTREME ATHLETE!" (drink Mountain Dew)
  18. Do you also see dead people? Blues, Dave "I AM A PROFESSIONAL EXTREME ATHLETE!" (drink Mountain Dew)
  19. As exhibit A, Michael Phelps' performance in the 2008 summer Olympics... Blues, Dave You don't need need much smarts to swim fast. Fish do it all the time. Of course, all the studies can be wrong. The diminished brain capacity could be the cause of marijuana use, not the result. I suspect it's a combination of both. I'd posit that it takes a fair amount of mental acuity to do something better than anyone ever has (world records) while on a stage in front of millions, with some of the best in the world trying to better you a few feet away. You could argue that any old stoner could rack up 8 golds in one Olympiad, but you'd look kind of silly, because the number of people who've done it before, stoned or sober, is zero. The bottom line is that clearly someone can be a pot smoker and still excel to an amazing degree. Blues, Dave "I AM A PROFESSIONAL EXTREME ATHLETE!" (drink Mountain Dew)
  20. Back when I was younger (half my current age), I made up a bumper sticker that quoted a line from the Crass song “Reality Asylum”; it read, “Jesus died for his own sins, not mine.” I put it on my car one morning before work and someone took a razor blade or key to it and removed most of the bumper sticker and a sizeable amount of paint before I came home that night. I always wondered which commandment it was that told believers they should vandalize another’s property if they don’t like it. Blues, Dave "I AM A PROFESSIONAL EXTREME ATHLETE!" (drink Mountain Dew)
  21. Funny how many people around here CLAIM to be libertarian...yet only seem to support a radical right wing party line instead of any Libertarian positions..... the numbers just dont match up.. I think we have a lot of outright liars...I wonder why that is?? I'm not sure. Blues, Dave "I AM A PROFESSIONAL EXTREME ATHLETE!" (drink Mountain Dew)

  23. By my girlfriend telling me so multiple times each day. Blues, Dave "I AM A PROFESSIONAL EXTREME ATHLETE!" (drink Mountain Dew)
  24. You mean the same McCain that's currently trying to remove a "Buy American" clause from the bill? What kinda commie is he?! Blues, Dave "I AM A PROFESSIONAL EXTREME ATHLETE!" (drink Mountain Dew)
  25. I suspect you count me among the "liberals here", and I bitched about this yesterday. Blues, Dave "I AM A PROFESSIONAL EXTREME ATHLETE!" (drink Mountain Dew)
