Have you ever wondered where the phrase, "You gotta be shittin' me!" came from? Well, it just so happens to have originated through the Father of our Country way back when George Washington was crossing the Delaware River with his troops. There were 33 (remember this number) in Washington's boat. It was extremely dark and storming furiously and the water was tossing them about. Finally, Washington grabbed Corporal Peters (remember this name) and stationed him at the front of the boat with a lantern. He ordered him to keep swinging it, so they could see where they were heading. Corporal Peters, through driving rain and cold, continued swinging the lantern back and forth, back and forth. Then a big gust of wind and a wave hit and threw Corporal Peters and his lantern into the Delaware. Washington and his troops searched for nearly an hour trying to find Corporal Peters, but to no avail. All of them felt terrible, for the Corporal had been one of their favorites. Sometime later, Washington and his troops landed on the other side, wet and totally exhausted. He rallied the troops and told them that they must go on. Another hour later, one of his men said, "General, I see lights ahead." They trudged toward the lights and came upon a huge house. What they didn't know, was that this was a house of ill repute hidden in the forest to serve all who came. General Washington pounded on the door, his men crowding around him. The door swung open, and much to his surprise stood a beautiful woman. A huge smile came across her face, to see so many men standing there. Washington was the first to speak, "Madam, I am General George Washington and these are my men. We are tired, wet, exhausted, and desperately need warmth and comfort." Again, the Madam looked at all the men standing there, and with a broad smile on her face, said, "Well, General, you have come to the right place. We can surely give you warmth and comfort. How many men do you have?" Washington replied, "Well, madam, there are 32 of us without Peters." And the Madam said, "You gotta be shittin' me!"

I jumped with Marcos Ferraez while we were filming "Cutaway." He is a regular freeflier and I made one of my only freefly jumps with him.

[replyHeh, first off, HH gives us a kick ass place to play and learn, I dont mind donating a few extra bucks for the time I spend here playing on his site. Otherwise most of the $$ comes from his wallet... Second, for what ever reason, the webmail here isnt blocked at my work, so I have access to personal email at work thru dropzone.com. The expanded email acct size is nice since I use it. Third, I also use the hell out of PM's too. so being able to sort them into folders is very very nice. and finally forth, I also do use the expanded search function. Sorry that you think they are useless and fabricated to make money for a site that lots of people use the heck out of, and dont give a dime to help with the over head. 1. DITTO 2. DITTO 3. DITTO 4. DITTO I gladly pay for the Premier membership if, for no othr reason, than to help put some money back into HH's pocket. This is an awesome place and it would be a shame to lose it because it costs too much to run.

YIPPEE!!

Happy Birthday!!

WOOHOO!!! Congrats!!!

WOW!!! That's awesome! Congrats to all the hard work!!

Same way down here in Florida.

That's what bossman asked me!! We're a stucco supply company, so there is no reason for us to have rocks.

We never do and never have hauled rocks. NEVER. A woman called here a few weeks ago and said a "big rock" had flown out of the truck and hit her Lexus. The whole front end was damaged and needed repair work. She was a a total bitch about it. My boss told her, "Look lady, we don't haul rocks. We have never had rocks in any of our trucks. There is no way that rock came from my truck. I'm sorry but I can't help you." Over several phone calls, she threatened all kinds of stuff and he finally said, "Go ahead, have your attorney call me. I'll tell him the same thing I told you. WE DON'T HAUL ROCKS." As far as I know, she hasn't called back. The boss told me if she would have been decent about it, instead of calling here demanding stuff, then he may have offered to help because it's possible his truck did in fact kick up a rock that hit her car. But, because she was so bitchy about it, fuck her.

Ok I don't need him to do me. That's NOT AT ALL what I mean!! I mean, he's a good lawyer. I've had to use him twice, and both times the outcome was definitely in my favor. I'm sure he would do that. Let me know if you need the info.

He's a skydiver and did VERY GOOD by me.

Hahahaha!! I have a GREAT lawyer if you need (another) one!

My company deals with this kind of thing all the time, unfortunately. We haul sand and ocassionally someone will call and say a rock hit their car. We don't haul rocks. Sometimes, the nicer people will get the help, just because they were nice about it and it could have possibly been a rock on the highway that got kicked up by one of our trucks. The best thing to do is be nice, let them know that you're not looking for big bucks, just to get your car repaired. Get a few estimates. Don't be an ass about it. You sound like you'll be level headed about it, and that's your best option. Just my thoughts...

Awww.... that's great!!!

I leave work, drive for an hour and 30 minutes, and come back to this thread where it has gone from dating, to BOBs, to the weather, to a commune... What's wrong with this?? So... when are we getting together for that Fuckerware party?! I'm anxious to meet all of you girls now!!!!
