  1. Racially motivated I doubt it as in I don't think the cops were looking for a black person to shot. On the other hand, I ask myself would the same cops have used the same lethal force on a white person in the same situation? My awnser is I highly doubt it. Of course I can't be sure but those are my thoughts
  2. I wish I could say that that was my first concert. How cool that must have been Mine was REO/Rainbow 1977. In my defense that was back when both those bands rocked.....Kinda
  3. Both are nice to look at but musically they both suck mucho ass
  4. my .02 Nope....they know if they tried I'd tell them to go pound rocks it's my life!! People die in the bathtub on the stairs in cars yet you never hear people telling you not to wash walk or drive. I see it as a perception difference. Most people think they are safer then they truly are and don't like to be reminded of how dangerous life really is. As an example most people drive around in 2 ton machines at speeds that make impact possibly lethal and they think nothing of it yet more people are scared to fly then drive despite the statistics that say flying is safer. Couple that with the fear of falling that most humans have and you get a lot of irrational reasons why you shouldn't jump from people that know nothing about skydiving. Now how informed can these critics be. I personally don't listen to the uninformed they tend to rely on emotional rather than logical arguments Life is a dangerous sport skydiving or not it's your life don't let others tell you how to live it
  5. Need contact info for Vinny riding the boogie board in the rantoul video. jumps at XKeys or the Ranch. I need to get a hold of you. PS I have the outside video of your Mal at WFFC last year
  6. Theres one thing that does not get discussed with my mother and my grandparents and thats cutaways. I feel that information would be of no benifit to them and might actually reduce their vicarious enjoyment of my skydiving. maybe in a few years I'll tell them about my first one
  7. Yea I remember my first beer too
  8. correct basgetti at it's finest
  9. From one of my all time favorite scenes "Who in the hell is that one bastard goes in and another comes out" "Wanted in 14 counties of this state the condedmned is found guilty of the crimes of murder, armed robbery of citizens, state banks, and post offices. The theft of sacred objects, arson in a state prison, perjury, bigamy, deserting his wife and children, citing prostitution, kidnapping, extortion, recieving stolen goods, selling stolen goods, passing couterfiet money, and contrary to the laws of this state the condemned is guilty of using marked cards.....therfore according to the powers vested in us we sentence the accused here before us Tucoh Benidito Pacifico Juan Maria Ramirez (known as the rat) and any other alias he may be known under to hang by the neck until dead may god have mercy on his soul proceed" Bonus if you can the song and band that used samples from this movie (hint not the clash) I'll give the easy one if no one can guess it
  10. http://maddox.xmission.com/irule.html Too funny
  11. Occifer I'm not as thunk as you drink I am Always remeber 2 wrongs don't make a right but 3 lefts do
  12. Also get slider bumpers if you have slinks...My slider was coming down and knocking a toggle loose which of course lead to line twists, spins and one cutaway before I figured it out.
  13. To hog the camera no doubt.....does she ever just run over you to get in frame?
  14. Edit Genesse makes Honey Brown Heres a scary fact Genessee Cream Ale is now called Genny cream ale and it sells for over 6 bucks a six pack, and is packaged like some upscale beer. My jaw dropped and I almost died of laughter when I saw it down here. I bet if you drink it you'll still wake up with the dreaded "Genny Screamers" Don't forget about Schaffer the one beer to have when your having more than one. what about the Bull, Olde frothingslosh ale, and Iron City all quality beers that are good for other people to drink
  15. None of the above. I vote sell it to finance a BASE activity that way you get the best bang for your buck
  16. I gotta say it you rule.......I love your sense of humor
  17. All good and well. My point is don't get upset about UN enforcment when it doesn't go our way. They look the other way for Isreal why not Iraq too?
  18. You mean enforce it when we wanted it enforced or is Isreal up to snuff with all the UN resolutions? If not then how come we haven't been hounding the UN to inspect their weapons
  19. You forgot if we want your shit you will die or we support your dictator so you will die or we don't like drugs so you will die. Up until now you have hidden that bloodthirsty side but I always knew it was there wrapped up in "the Iraqi's will be better off". "were here to help" type rhetoric. I bet if you had your way there would be no one on this earth but white christian males.
  20. I don't believe that for a second. He killed her, if she was drowning in the situation described she would have bite him and/or struggled. Like someone said theese folks were a few sandwichs short of a picnic
  21. I've seen a few references to this on the boards and in commercials so since I'm bored I thought I'd give out some useless trivia. The Revolution Will Not Be Televised is a song by Gil Scott-Heron addressing the fact that theres more to life then whats feed to you on TV. I relly wonder if the suits at Nike and whoever else co-opted the phrase has ever listened to the lyrics(I think not). I really find it ironic that the song was ever used in a commercial at all. Here are the lyrics. They go with a sweet groove laid down by some bad ass jazz peeps
  22. Well I really think this should have been called my favorite freeflyer because no criteria was laid out. There are so many people who's ability is so far removed from me that I don't think I would be good judge. That being said my totally biased opinion is Omar A.
