i'm kinda partial to "ajosshi... nomu kuh... NOMU KUH!!!" (scoby, translation please? ) steve

HEY! you READ hangul, you SPEAK hangookmal!!! sorry, i get a little carried away... steve

romanization always gets us in trouble. humor me for a moment... chaji - (y'all can get this one from context) mokta - to eat mokoboda - to have the experience of eating mokobonil - the experience of eating i - subject particle isso - blunt conjugation of 'is there' or 'do you have' now, this definitely is NOT a common phrase, but it certainly has the capacity to, um, make their brown eyes blue, so to speak. steve

hey, bill? let her know our hearts are with her, too, k? and that goes for everyone else out there. thanks, steve

Shit!!! Why yes it is....but lets not spread that around. um, that was directed at the lovely lady in the picture, clay... but if you say so, whatever floats your boat!!! steve

hehehehe, rodent! now that we're geeking, how about Archie for FTP searching, eh? precursor to the P2P's, hmmmm? steve

awwwwwwwwww yeah! ch'aji mokobonili isso??? (yes, that *was* dirty, btw! ) steve

i'm dying... that just looks WAY too familiar out here in sandy eggo!!! steve

the second picture's great!!!! sign 1: FUCKING sign 2: Please - Not So Fast steve

you know, nacmac... chunks of australian navel orange DO NOT FEEL GOOD coming out one's nose!!! omg, death star... hehehehehe steve

you're right, and by a good decade -- google's archive (formerly deja, formerly dejanews) includes newsgroup articles dating as far back as 1981! that's not entirely correct; there were/are some moderated newsgroups, where posted articles require moderator approval prior to their being available for viewing by general readers (methinks). much less flexible than what we have here at dz.com (and other web boards), but it counts as moderation nonetheless. perhaps the powers that be could newgroup rec.skydiving.moderated? any greenies up for the challenge??? steve

i'm afraid you're right, one plagued with guilt... me thought i heard a voice cry, sleep no more! sudsyfist does murder sleep! steve

scoby, remember how i keep saying we gotta hang out? steve

actually, you've got it backwards -- cman's the nsync-lookin' guy. steve

ok, so after a scrumpdiddilyumptious lunch at a japanese dig in carlsbad today, a window sign catches my eye as we're walking back down to the car: Imagine... Silky Smooth Hairless Skin For Life! perplexed by this notion (and with fiendish grin), i step inside. it's an upscale salon, complete with elegantly styled lighting and decor, high-tech hair sculpting machines and makeover gadgetry, and even those fluffy magazines about what stupid shit on which you should spend your rich husband's dough. impressive. but that isn't the only thought that comes to mind. sauntering up to the receptionist with all the suave charm i can muster, i respond to the bona fide welcome-how-can-i-fucking-help-you look on her pathetically plasticized, over-the-hill-barbie-doll face: "underneath these clothes, i look like a wooly mammoth. i saw your sign..." headlights. deer. "...hairless for life?" "oh, yes. well, um, we do laser treatments here," she finally stammers, fumbling for a brochure whilst trying to enlighten me a bit on their safe and oh-so-innovative laser hair removal technique. yeah, ever see those aftermath shows on discovery channel? hmm... tempting. totally losing me in her annoyingly giddy voice, she hands me some literature, which i promptly turn over to read the attached cost sheet. without even a second's passing, my eyes lunge out of their respective skull-holes -- not from sticker shock, but from the contents of the treatment area column. "what's this? genital..." "that's your shaft, dude," cman tactfully blurts out from beside me, with buteho's customary fit of laughter following closely behind. "no, what i mean is, why are there two separate costs, with genitals - female at $135 and genitals - male at $270? isn't that discrimination?" she must have some seriously strong levator muscles. i've never seen such mascara-glutted, ptosis-ridden eyelids blink that fast in my life. pray it's not a seizure; i'm too old for this shit. "uh, well, i don't really know..." whew. "i'm really serious about this. i'm going to go over this at home and let it digest..." "well, you can see the doctor right now if you'd like..." hold on there, hosse. "no, we've got to go right now," i quickly reply, slowly backing away from her desk. "ok. the doctor's here on mondays and w... on mondays. he'll give you a consultation -- you know, free." moron. "thanks. i'll be back after i read up more on this; we've got a lot of work to do." "and he's gonna start with his palms." cman. the utter definition of savoir faire. "and then i'm gonna have to do something to about my eyesight..." stepping out the door and into the fresh ocean breeze, i can swear i actually hear her giggle. and so ends another episode of our adventures, with high-fives and talk about what we're gonna have for dinner.

sorry to hear about the cancer... but i hear you regarding the stupidity. took those yahoos YEARS to nail down a non-ossifying fibroma... now that is something about which i'm not sure -- va hospitals are like mcdonalds out here, so it's a non-issue for me. perhaps their web might have more info? steve

VA Health Care Eligibility (note priority group 7) just stop by your closest va hospital and pay a visit to their admin office. they'll give you the scoop and register you in just minutes, believe it or not! steve

if your dd214 says you were a good boy, then you've got va health coverage for just about anything, actually. i had something come up whilst not covered by conventional health insurance, and was promptly taken care of at a local va hospital. *whew* NOTE, however, that copay and other out-of-pocket expenses are determined based on your prior year's tax return, despite your current financial status. SCREWED, i was! (still better than paying in full, tho!) steve

dude, it's FALL right now... did you see her outfit yesterday??? SCHMOOOOOOOOOOOKIN'!!! steve

after 9 months of jumping without health insurance, i'm EVER so happy that we were able to get our group coverage started up this quarter... just in time for snowboarding! (*knocking on wood*) steve

can you say, dzo? steve

ambiguity and dichotomy steve

this weekend in socal, between jftc and chicks rock, we've had the most amazing chicks-to-dudes ratio i've ever seen in skydiving. breathtaking. steve

OMG!!!!! *spewing cranberry juice thru nostrils* steve
