Dear Writers Who Visit This Forum, Duane Weber was Cooper. See the prior 600 pages for evidence. -GladToHelp also visit http://www.coffee.tea.or.tina.com for more Cooper information. Jo mused "I am not sure what Snow is" I...am....a....Dog! And Soylent Green Is People! (edit) I'm expecting Farflung to shoulder the load for researching the worldwide distribution of hollow fire irons.

I've been running traces on all stewardess related porn sites. I have a server running a stewardess porn chat room. (edit) Yes, of course, there I'm "Tina". You know how many old men I've had to engage, while trying to find Cooper? You don't want to know.

Jo said "Considering Cooper would in his early to mid 80's by now, it is very unlikely he would have been computer literate." Bullshit. Cooper, if alive, gets his porn just like everyone else. One click at a time.

just ran into an interesting history bit http://news.google.com/newspapers?id=ewc0AAAAIBAJ&sjid=YfcDAAAAIBAJ&pg=5394,4602028&dq=issaquah+skydiving&hl=en Nov 19, 1962 Paul Clifford died during a night jump at Issaquah (age 23). He was president of the Boeing Employees Skydivers club.

Not one Cooper discussion with your spouse?? I guess I can see that. Well how about the sex with nuns? 377 Hey I'll be honest. I had one conversation, and I sounded borderline psychotic, so I realized you can't talk about DBC in the normal world. The nuns? Well, you know how hard it is to find Icelandic twins (Tiger Woods was aiming for Swedish twins but got lost in the rough).. You want difficult? Icelandic twin nuns, who used to be stewardesses before they joined up. Tina knew a thing or two about attractors. She wasn't running from Cooper...she was working on her assets.

funny. my wife bought a used mini Cooper a couple months ago. I've never mentioned DBC to her, so I thought she was messing with my mind.

I mentioned that I thought most skydivers' sense of history was bullshit and that no old-time jumpers posted here. Has anyone here actually jumped in the '50s or early 60's? (edit) I'll narrow it down more. Freefall then. SL-only doesn't count. That would be 45 to 50 years ago? Why do people think anyone who jumped in the '70s might have useful info, if Cooper had skydiving experience? (edit) Is there an assumption Cooper continued jumping after the hijack? (he lived and continued to jump???) Amazon? I saw a thread where someone bragged his first jump was 48 years ago elsewhere at DZ.com. That would be 1961? See? even that is a newbie. (edit) Cooper would have been an elder to that guy (Cooper would have been 35-40? That guy was probably in his twenties. Kid.) (edit) I guess a simple example was when we went thru a number of historical details connected to Ted Braden. It belies all this nonsense about small skydiving community etc. (in terms of thinking about Cooper). (edit) The thing is, as we continually agree, it doesn't matter, because there is no investigation, no evidence, no nothing. That's what makes Sluggo's and Georger's indignations or talks of science or whatnot, really , really funny! It's better than believing in some religion. It's like hope and prayer stuff based on no reality. What they really want to do is masturbate to the details. However they're afraid to masturbate for real, like me.

Accuracy? Wouldn't you prefer that I keep with the overall theme of the thread ? :) I hate these f*ing off-topic posts.

Short declarative sentences are always more accurate. Adverbs and adjectives imply inaccuracy. Pull! (edit) Georger knows twenty guys who could build a grain elevator? How come no one commented on the wooden ski jump pictures. I thought they were the best. ? I knew a guy whose pickup truck only went in reverse, and had spent a Christmas day in jail. Didn't anyone make jumps for their bicycle out of wood scraps when they were a kid? Didn't anyone steal nails and lumber from whatever tract housing development was going up? (edit) What about tree forts? Let's hear about tree forts. Did people do open platforms mostly, or roofed with walls? Anyone practice jumps? Any rope ladders to get up, or the classic nailed 2x4 to trunks? Or was is strictly natural branches only to get up?

Jo, was Duane Weber a sad man? Cooper apparently was. connect the dots .... ....

see, and people think my wild-assed stories have no basis in reality. I'd say more about 1969912, but why get the NRC after a jumper, especially if he's got good speakers?

Hi Jo. Walking the road for 14 years confirms you're a mental case. It doesn't bother me. I don't care. But I steer clear, because there's nothing to do to help. You actually don't need help. You're fine. We're all fine! Well Airtwardo is more fine than the rest of us....but I suspect when his wife discovers there's someone out there with a longer bar, I'll have a shot. Duane Weber was Cooper.

377 said "You made a good decsion Farflung. That kind of political theater sucks." I was going to post at the time of the Iranian demonstrations, but did people see the video where the crowd rushed the guys at the public hanging and took them down (rescue)? (12/26/09, just last 2 weeks) A reminder of how thin a veneer of civilization we have in the world, everywhere. And how it's very hard to understand just what goes on inside Iran. This isn't too graphic. Although it will stick in your craw, as it should, I guess. I'm not sure if the guys survived. It's amazing to me how Youtube serves as a vehicle for info from the Mideast (look at the character set). Sure there's propaganda on all sides...but more info is always better. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ygi3p4WQpkw

I love that 1969912 has an atom bomb explosion for his avatar, and he has spare parts from atomic reactor sites littering his living room... I picture the news story, where some high school kid is playing with a geiger counter and it goes off the scale, and they finally track it down to 1969912's place and half the town is cordon'ed off. Meanwhile, no one can go in while they're waiting for the hazmat team to be flown in from Quantico, and some really good music is left playing loudly, with everyone beyond the yellow tape swaying appreciatively.

some people jump because it's scary/hard. airtwardo jumps because it's easier to jump than be at home.

hey cool...people always have such interesting hobbies. Do you weld? I am embarassed to say I bought a welder intending to learn, but it's still unused (I bought a refurb'ed/unused one..amazing how you can get cheap tools online now) (edit) FFTF = Fast Flux Test Facility Hey we talked about the Hanford site before..near the Columbia http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fast_Flux_Test_Facility Are you saying Cooper buried his money in a speaker stand made from FFTF scrap?

I thought I read somewhere that there actually weren't any Larch on Larch Mountain. I'm not sure which of the three they were talking about, but it really threw me for a loop. Does anyone know? They clearcut the one with the towers, or there was a big burn or something. Would kind of throw off the Duane Weber theory if there is really no Larch on Larch Mtn. Maybe that's Sluggo's Gorilla? Oh, to live on Larch Mountain With the barkers and the colored balloons, You can't be twenty on Larch Mountain Though you're thinking that you're leaving there too soon, You're leaving there too soon. It's so noisy at the fair But all your friends are there And the candy floss you had And your mother and your dad. Oh, to live on Larch Mountain With the barkers and the colored balloons, You can't be twenty on Larch Mountain Though you're thinking that you're leaving there too soon, You're leaving there too soon. There's a girl just down the aisle, Oh, to turn and see her smile. You can hear the words she wrote As you read the hidden note. Oh, to live on Larch Mountain With the barkers and the colored balloons, You can't be twenty on Larch Mountain Though you're thinking that you're leaving there too soon, You're leaving there too soon. Now you're underneath the stairs And you're givin' back some glares To the people who you met And it's your first cigarette. Oh, to live on Larch Mountain With the barkers and the colored balloons, You can't be twenty on Larch Mountain Though you're thinking that you're leaving there too soon, You're leaving there too soon. Now you say you're leavin' home 'Cause you want to be alone. Ain't it funny how you feel When you're findin' out it's real? Oh, to live on Larch Mountain With the barkers and the colored balloons, You can't be twenty on Larch Mountain Though you're thinking that you're leaving there too soon, You're leaving there too soon.

Airtwardo repies: First towers, now shafts and pipe. Boys boys boys. "mine is bigger than yours". Etc etc. Funny, in skydiving bigger is wimpier. Women jumpers are not impressed one bit with my Triathlon 190 and non swoop 747 style landings. If I were flying something really small, say an elliptical cross braced 85, and hooking it hard, now that would be HOT. 377 Airtwardo's is fatter. Mine is longer. Airtwardo's next jump, he's going to go out the door with that bar in his hands, convinced that this time, he'll score for sure....

yeah, I learned to put it down on two 4x8's I have, like right away. airtwardo said "Rollin' it off the pinkys hurts" hey you have to learn to do hand rolls (aka finger curls/rolls) with the bar (not on the ground though :) .really works the wrists and fingers. (but maybe 3" is too wide a diameter)

I got a 6 1/2 ' long, 3" dia. piece of aircraft grade solid Stainless bar-stock somebody gave me long ago...weighs about 90 pounds. Use to use it as a barbell when I was young & broke, still use it now...both me AND 'it' are worth a lot more than I figured back then! thanks a bunch airtwardo. See? all these people try to imply i'm off topic on stuff that others don't have a common interest in, and here we go...a conversation about a shared bit of history. I'll have to weigh that pipe tonight. I was going to say it was 150lbs but was embarassed that I might have overestimated. Like I say I feel weak now. But I'm going to be pressing it now saying "i'm stronger than that old bastard airtwardo, even if it kills me"

377 said "Between the NRC, FAA and FCC I could put him away for years, but I am not a snitch." Well, there's also the problem that I buried all the evidence under 6 ft of concrete, reinforced with #9 rebar. You can't get #9 rebar at home depot. There was a guy in MLB baseball, he used a 36" piece of #9 rebar as a warmup bat. There was a story about him...he got traded, and it was a big deal about whether he lost his magical piece of rebar. People would try to swing it and worry about ripping out their shoulders. Duane probably used #9 rebar to warm up when he played softball at the company summer picnics.

SLUGGO, Call the NRC!!! Call the FBI!!! Call the Israeli Air Force, they will strike a rogue nuke plant anywhere, anytime. Snow is building an ultracentrifuge isotope separator. We have proof. 377 It's funny. You never see a SS pipe like this. The wall is just too damn thick and it's too heavy. I have to measure the wall. I think it's like 1/2" A guy had it, and I saw it and my eyes opened up. I said "You selling that?"...I just knew I wanted it. An old guy...going half blind. He used to weld and do metal a lot. I think he did those dirt track wing cars. He cocks his head and looks at me with his cloudy grey eyes "What is it worth to you" I pause a couple seconds. It's such a dicey question. Don't want to insult him. Not sure I really want it...but: "$100" "It's yours"

I'm thinking about the stuff georger said about his family's tower. (georger: slow down, so I can reload...I'm older, you know) Now some believe you don't need to notify FCC/FAA until you're over 200' with a tower (from ground level) But the FAA circular did seem to leave an out for requiring lights/paint below 200' So who forces you to disclose to FCC/FAA? I would think if you just build to 200', you'd be on pretty firm ground saying you weren't required to put lights or paint on. There are plenty of towers in the 100'-200' range without lights or paint. How do I resolve this with what Georger said? And it gets worse if I try to figure out how Gorillas fit in the conversation. I still haven't figured that one out.

nice story Jo. When I was a kid, the pond we skated at was "down by the Battlefield" It wasn't that deep...but there were huge snapping turtles in it. We were always afraid that if you broke thru the thin ice, or went in an open hole (soft spots from underground springs etc), that you wouldn't drown, ...it would be the snapping turtles that would get you. (I'm talking like 2' long shells. You could hold a stick and they'd grab it and not let go, and you could lift them up by the stick)

I went out and tried more pullups last night. Couldn't do any. Need a rest day. Running's okay though, although I'm just on the treadmill. I have a 2" diameter stainless steel pipe that has like a 1/4" wall or more. 10' long. That's my barbell for now. Really freaking heavy. (edit) Orange1: I did read your gorilla news story. Weird. Nice that so many vets stepped in to help the gorilla afterwards.
