  1. Someone did an autotune "remix" of it too. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MX0D4oZwCsA&feature=player_embedded "There are NO situations which do not call for a French Maid outfit." Lucky McSwervy "~ya don't GET old by being weak & stupid!" - Airtwardo
  2. Good porn bridges the generation gap?? "There are NO situations which do not call for a French Maid outfit." Lucky McSwervy "~ya don't GET old by being weak & stupid!" - Airtwardo
  3. I heard you were in the Mile High Club . . . Solo Chapter, of course. and to think, there's useually only one wanker on each flight and he normally sits in the left hand front seat Hey, we got to do something on the way down after throwing you guys out, don't we??

  4. The little packs of silica gel you get with electronics and such work better than rice. They are specifically designed as dessicants. You need to put the silica gel in the oven at very low heat for an hour or so to dry them out before you will get much result from them.

  5. THIS is a tune I've always loved. I think you could master it with some practice (some is the variable word here). Seriously, any good blues tune. Many are simple chord progressions. It's not the skill you play it with, it's the heart. Some of the "comedy" singers, Tim Wilson or Rodney Carrington have some pretty good songs, funny and fun. I would bet serious money that you playing Show Them To Me would go over like gangbusters "There are NO situations which do not call for a French Maid outfit."

  6. Yep. Don't do it on really windy days and you'll be fine. You might want to take the spot out a bit longer, but that's about it. I usually do a "high hop&pop" on one of my first jumps in the spring after the long winter layoff. It lets me reaquaint myself with my canopy. Stall point, slow flight, flat turns, practice flares, all that kind of stuff. As long as the pilot knows you are going to be flying around that high and for that long it shouldn't be a problem. MAKE SURE YOU HAVE THE APPROVAL OF THE INSTRUCTORS AND PILOT. That way everyone knows where you will be and can plan accordingly. "There are NO situations which do not call for a French Maid outfit."

  7. And over here it's 2 S/Ls and 3 PRCPs minimum, so still 5 "There are NO situations which do not call for a French Maid outfit." Lucky McSwervy "~ya don't GET old by being weak & stupid!" - Airtwardo
  8. Oh my GOD!! Someone finally came up with the proper response to an EPBA (Emergency Pancake Bunny Alert - search the phrase if you want to find out how it started). The COOKIE BUNNY 'Twardo - I think he was saying that at that location, at that time of the year, using the sun as a navigation reference would suck.

  9. Ok, I don't really think of the dead pedal as counting because: A - it doesn't move B - It doesn't perform a function (it's a brace for the driver, but pressing on it doesn't do anything for the car) C - It's not really a pedal, just a spot. How about the rest of my answer? "There are NO situations which do not call for a French Maid outfit." Lucky McSwervy "~ya don't GET old by being weak & stupid!" - Airtwardo
  10. Yeah that does read lame...I meant to say there are so many points to support both pros and cons... What exactly are the arguments for ignoring the recommendations? And who, besides those who wish to ignore them, are making those points? "There are NO situations which do not call for a French Maid outfit."

  11. There's no way you guys would come up with enough money. Wanna bet? "There are NO situations which do not call for a French Maid outfit." Lucky McSwervy "~ya don't GET old by being weak & stupid!" - Airtwardo
  12. On NPR's "Morning Edition" this morning, they read the whole thing. All the different anchors each read a paragraph. It was really cool. I hadn't heard/read the entire thing since high school.

  13. Ok, now for the pop quiz. In a proper car with a traditional manual transmission, how many pedals are there and what are their names? 3? L>R (no matter what side the steering wheel is) Clutch release Foot brake Foot Feed (Gas pedal) A proper car with a manual transmission has a Hand lever for the parking/emergency brake, although a lot of US cars had a foot pedal way over on the left for it.

  14. Don't forget that the clock stops running when you are out of the state that you committed the crime in "There are NO situations which do not call for a French Maid outfit." Lucky McSwervy "~ya don't GET old by being weak & stupid!" - Airtwardo
  15. There have only ever been 5 different threads in SC - they just appear to die but are resurrected over and over under a different subject line. Religion, Politics, Guns, Sociology and what else? 9/11. Duh "There are NO situations which do not call for a French Maid outfit."

  16. There is a slight power to weight ratio advantage in a properly designed opposed engine. It also takes up slightly less room. It's specifically because the jugs are opposed they can take up less space and therefore the entire engine weighs slightly less. When every ounce counts . . . it counts. Don't forget that both VW and aircraft opposed engines are air cooled. The opposed configuration allows the cylinders to get better airflow. And aircooled engines have a much wider operating temperature range which affects the power and efficiency. "There are NO situations which do not call for a French Maid outfit."

  17. I've had a challenging spring. A couple personal issues, very few jumps due to weather and scheduling (when I can jump the weather sucks, when the weather is nice I have to work), a little bit of conflict at the DZ (I'm the rigger and "good enough" isn't a substitute for "fixed correctly", especially with student gear). So last night we did the first weekday evening of the season
  18. Me too. Being dumb enough to believe her when she said "I'll love you forever" has got to be #1 "There are NO situations which do not call for a French Maid outfit." Lucky McSwervy "~ya don't GET old by being weak & stupid!" - Airtwardo
  19. Not really. If you read the link I posted, they talk about the difference between "public" and "private" conversations. And I think a quiet conversation (quiet meaning not screaming at the top of your lungs) between just you and the inspector, especially if it's in a private office, would count as a "private" conversation, and be considered the same as a phone conversation. There was a thread in SC a week or so ago where a dude videoed (with audio) a confrontation with a cop and got charged with wiretapping (because of the audio portion, video is a whole different game). The "all parties" laws suck (IMO) because they prevent you from proving that someone said something. Wisconsin is a "one party" law state. I can tape any conversation (public,private. phone, whatever) that I am a part of. I have recently been peripherally involved in a "neighbor dispute" that ended up with a couple disorderly conduct citations being written. After that confrontation, I had my little tape recorder in my pocket just in case (I never did end up in a confrontation with them, but I wanted to be prepared). I have checked with the local authorities and a local attorney and made sure that it is legal here. That's why I'm fairly up to speed on this stuff. I don't think you can do that in California.

  20. To each his own. I guess, I'm just a tad more 'purist' when it comes to chili. Chuck Here in Wisconsin we put noodles in our chili. I've lived here most of my life and I'm still not used to it.

  21. Ok, I know "Goodwin's Law" is about references to Hitler, but I've never heard of any about Hitler (or Pol Pot for that matter) in skirts "There are NO situations which do not call for a French Maid outfit." Lucky McSwervy "~ya don't GET old by being weak & stupid!" - Airtwardo
  22. I wouldn't put that tape recorder in your pocket if I were you. I'm pretty sure it's illegal to tape the conversation without permission of all parties according to CA law. http://www.a1-hiddencamera.com/blog/?cat=11 "There are NO situations which do not call for a French Maid outfit."

  23. Put on all your gear and step on a scale. You might be a bit surprised (I was). Including helmet, altimiter, goggles (yeah, I know goggles aren't much), gloves, jumpsuit, and the shoes and clothes you normallly wear. All that stuff adds up. "There are NO situations which do not call for a French Maid outfit." Lucky McSwervy "~ya don't GET old by being weak & stupid!" - Airtwardo
  24. I fully agree with this. I weigh 155 or so on the scale stepping into the shower. With all my gear i weigh about 190. I jump a 190 Triathlon and it has served me very well. I don't get a whole lot of forward drive in strong winds, but I know and plan for that. I love my Tri
  25. How is the "method" of death attacking that? He was likely Impaled , or may have been an X cross, ot a upper case T or lower case t (as accepted blindly) What does that discussion have to do with Denial? Because a lot of the hardcore believers have that reaction to any questions about the accuracy of the Bible. There's a poster on here who has claimed that the Bible is either entirely true or entirely false. No middle ground whatsoever. So, to them, questioning the method of death becomes the same as questioning the fact of that death. "There are NO situations which do not call for a French Maid outfit."
