When you report a classified ad here as a scam, what happens? Who gets that information? How long does it usually take to get a reply? How can it be proven, or not? I think I found one and I reported it. I'm beyond irritated. I'm f*&%ing pissed ... if this is in fact what I think it is. I am holding out that it's not, but I just don't believe that's the case.

I wasn't around J for Dublin last year so I can't be held responsible for that.

This is a thread for SkyFest. Can we please try to stay on topic????

1. If you are choking on an ice cube, don't panic. Simply pour a cup of boiling water down your throat and presto. The blockage will be almost instantly removed. 2. Clumsy? Avoid cutting yourself while slicing vegetables by getting someone else to hold them while you chop away. 3. Avoid arguments with the Mrs. about lifting the toilet seat by simply using the sink. 4. For high blood pressure sufferers: simply cut yourself and bleed for a few minutes, thus reducing the pressure in your veins. Remember to use a timer. 5. A mouse trap, placed on top of your alarm clock, will prevent you from rolling over and going back to sleep after you hit the snooze button. 6. If you have a bad cough, take a large dose of laxatives, then you will be afraid to cough. 7. Have a bad toothache? Smash your thumb with a hammer and you will forget about the toothache. Sometimes, we just need to remember what the rules of life really are: You only need two tools: WD-40 and Duct Tape. If it doesn't move and should, use the WD-40. If it shouldn't move and does, use the duct tape. Remember: Everyone seems normal until you get to know them. Never pass up an opportunity to go to the bathroom. If you woke up breathing, congratulations!! You get another chance. And finally, be really nice to your family and friends; you never know when you might need them to empty your bedpan.

My boss hasn't said anything about it, but I'm waiting.

I just posted this in the Bonfire thread as well. I had seen the video online before these posts got so big and before I was hearing it all over the place. Just today, I heard the local morning show talk about it. I cringed but listened anyway. Then, I stopped at the gas station for a drink and heard 2 men telling the cashier about it. "Her main parachute didn't open so she cut it away and went to her reserve. Then that one didn't open either and she landed on her face on the concrete. Now they found out she was pregnant when she jumped." I turned to the guy and asked, "Are you a jumper?" He said, "Well, no." I said, "Well, I am, and some of the facts they are reporting a wrong." He said, "You know, I don't care what they say, I still want to go jump but I don't want to waste all of that money on the training and stuff. It can't be that hard and I'm not scared at all." I looked at him for a second and said, "Yeah, you do that" and walked out. THEN, the DJ on the radio station I'm listening to at work just mentioned it - with the wrong information again. I don't blame these people for simply repeating what they have heard on the news. Afterall, the news is true, right? So what can I do locally? Can I point them to these threads, or will that just make it worse? What do I tell the bozos I cross daily when they start talking shit about it?

Based on what people actually filled out when they registered, I have: 11 - Georgia 125 - Texas There were also people from Louisiana, Mississippi, Ohio, Wisconsin, Tennessee, Minnesota, Colorado, Florida (not counting us), Arizona, N. Carolina, New Mexico, Argentina, and Switzerland. So... there ya' go. Proving once again that Texas is supreme.

How would you like to be on the beach when this baby comes in to land?? (You have to sit through a GMC commercial before the video plays.)

I can help out there... Central Georgia (Atlanta): 742 West Georgia (Texas): 6 Andy, Andy, Andy.... you are in SOOOOOOO much trouble now. Just you wait... I'll get our information and post it tonight. You'll see.

Was that a main canopy?

I love a man in a Stetson! I had one myself for years and got all kinds of compliments when I wore it. On some people, Stetsons are DAMN sexy. On others, DAMN wrong. I bet my honey would be SMOKIN' in a Stetson. Too bad I probably won't ever see that.

THIS is SkyFest. (Warning: It may be under construction at any given time. It is undergoing a facelift at the moment.) Just because you don't know all the ones from Texas, doesn't mean there are less. I'm sure J can give a more accurate number.

That really sucks, dude. I hope you can make it down this way again soon.

*hanging my head in shame* Agreed!! What a shame... someone NOT knowing who John Phillip Soussa is.

Are you just really bored at work or something?

You looked so heartbroken to walk into Chili's. You definitely looked disappointed that there weren't any naked girls there! It was definitely great seeing you, J!! See you again in a few days!!

WOOHOO!!!! GO LEE!! GO LEE!! GO LEE!!

A mother was working in the kitchen listening to her 5-year-old son playing with his new electric train in the living room. She heard the train stop and her son saying "All of you sons of bitches who want off, get the hell off now...cause this is the last stop! And all of you sons of bitches who are getting on, get your asses in the train...cause we're going down the tracks." The horrified mother went in and told her son, "We don't use that kind of language in this house. Now I want you to go to your room and you are to stay there for TWO HOURS, When you come out you can play with your train...but I want you to use nice language." Two hours later, the son came out of the bedroom and resumed playing with his train. Soon the train stopped and the mother heard her son say..."All passengers, please remember your things, thank you and and hope that your trip was a pleasant one. We hope you will ride with us again soon." She heard her little darling continue..."For those of you just boarding, remember, there is no smoking in the train. We hope you will have a pleasant and relaxing journey with us today." As the mother began to smile, the child added, "For those of you who are pissed off about the TWO HOUR delay, please see the BITCH IN THE KITCHEN..."

As seen in a dog's diary : 7 am - Oh boy! A walk! My favourite! 8 am - Oh boy! Dog food! My favourite! 9 am - Oh boy! The kids! My favourite! Noon - Oh boy! The yard! My favourite! 2 pm - Oh boy! A car ride! My favourite! 3 pm - Oh boy! The kids! My favourite! 4 pm - Oh boy! Playing ball! My favourite! 6 pm - Oh boy! Welcome home Mom! My favourite! 7 pm - Oh boy! Welcome home Dad! My favourite! 8 pm - Oh boy! Dog food! My favourite! 9 pm - Oh boy! Tummy rubs on the couch! My favourite! 11 pm - Oh boy! Sleeping in my people's bed! My favourite! As seen in a cat's diary: Day 183 of my captivity... My captors continued to taunt me with bizarre little dangling objects. They dine lavishly on fresh meat, while I am forced to eat dry cereal. The only thing that keeps me going is the hope of escape, and the mild satisfaction that I get from clawing their furniture. Tomorrow I will eat another houseplant. Today my attempt to kill my captors by weaving around their feet while they were walking almost succeeded - must try this at the top of the stairs. In an attempt to disgust and repulse these vile oppressors, I once again induced myself to vomit on their favourite chair. I must remember to try this on their bed. Decapitated a mouse and brought them the headless body in an attempt to make them aware of what I am capable of, and to try to strike fear in their hearts. They only cooed and condescended about what a good little cat I was. Hmmm, that did not work according to plan ... There was some sort of gathering of their accomplices. I was placed in solitary throughout the event. However, I could hear the noise and smell the food. More important, I overheard that my confinement was due to my powers of inducing "allergies." I must learn what this is and how I may use it to my advantage. I am convinced the other captives are flunkies and maybe snitches. The dog is routinely released and seems more than happy to return. He is obviously a half-wit. The bird, on the other hand, has got to be an informant and speaks with them regularly. I am certain he reports my every move. Due to his current placement in the metal room, his safety is assured. But I have patience, I can wait, it is only a matter of time...

OH HELL YA!!!!

I think you should rephrase that, Sir. Texas IS NOT in Georgia. TX would swallow GA whole and still have plenty of room for desert!! I heard you have some kind of neat camera thingy and you take pictures of those skydiver people. Will you be demonstrating that at SkyFest 06?

I refer you to THIS post. That's where I got my information. Maybe it's both??

Texas, Rosharon, Skydive Spaceland!!
