Looks like a real 'hot rod'! The new V-6's are just as 'hot' or hotter than the V-8's. I'm curious if, the new cars will hold the road like the Crown Vics? When my wife was in law enforcement, she had a new (at the time) Crown Vic assigned to her and she loved it. Chuck

I can envision the conversation among WH staffers: Wonk #1: OK, did we cover every major US racial group? Wonk #2: Yeah, I think so. #1: Oh, shit! We forgot the Asians! #2: Oh, yeah. OK [scrolling through Google]. Here we go: Central Asia Institute. That's just about right! Everyone wants their fair share and what they (feel) they are entitled to! Just try, to do good to folks! I didn't see any mention of the pygmies in New Guinnea!? very quietlyforgive me lord.very quietly. Chuck

That's cool! He spread the money impartially. Chuck

Welcome to the forums! Slacker! Chuck

I am thinking "some people"need to go outside more.....and be with some 3 dimensional people Oh and for those who are in severe need for a more custom fit..... http://bigheadstudio.com/toppage17.htm Chuck

Fair enough. Noone asks you to 'take it outside'. Nothing is mentioned of it till the 8x10 glossies with the circles and arrows and descriptions on the back come out!? Do you feel you did anything wrong? Chuck

Post to a BBS forum? Chuck

Put yourself in their position... You're 18 - 19-yrs. old, you and your teamates just won a gold medal... at the OLYMPICS! Noone is around, no public, just a few camera folks. Someone hauls-out a case of cold beer and they start celebrating! What would you do at that age? Be honest!!! Chuck

You nailed it! Chuck

Good! Glad to hear it. Much ado about nothing. Chuck

I can understand that but these women didn't damage anything, tip-over cars or burn-down a hotel. I think, the IOC should let it slide. Chuck

To me, it boils-down to one thing... people need to liighten-up! Those women celebrated a huge victory for them and for their country. Folks need to cut 'em a little slack. Did they really commit a crime of any kind? Did they damage anything? Was anyone injured because of their victory celebration? They at least, didn't act like soccer players after a big win. As for 'dis-respecting the venue'... I don't think so. It's not like it was a Cathedral or Synagogue. I realize, hockey rinks are 'sacred' to players but I don't see where there was dis-respect shown. Chuck

With all due respect I am guessing you do not have much of a hockey background. It is on the ice where you want to be as you celebrate your championship. The hockey player has a certain bond to this environment. It is their shrine. Sure hockey players celebrate back in the village or other public areas. But only after they have first paid homage to the Hockey Gods on the ice. Heck they didn't even want to get out of their stinky uniforms until the moment had completely set in. Or maybe I am just talking out of my rear end ... You're saying all the right things! Hockey is a 'Canadian Game' and a win such as these women worked so hard for on their ice can celebrate any way they want... as far as I'm concerned. They drank some beer and champagne. It's their tradition. The IOC has no idea what that win means to those women and to the people of Canada. The IOC needs to pull the stick out of their collective ass and let them be. Chuck

Maybe, if you had paid better attention you wouldn't get criticized! Chuck

I've watched Curling on the Olympics and find it interesting. I don't know much about the sport but do enjoy watching it. I need to read-up on it to learn more. I don't think it will ever catch-on here in West Texas, though! Chuck

Nothing's going to come of it... trust me! He ran your information and it came back 'no wants or warrants'. He writes it down as a 'contact' and you and he go your separate ways. No big deal! Ya' got away with whatever... this time! Chuck

Hey, stainless steel protecs are cool looking! At least one of the crwdogs I met and jumped with, uses one. Looks like a human lightning rod to me. Stainless-steel Pro-tecs? Good grief! Highly polished, I presume? Chuck

I never cared for frap hats. Pro-Tecs made you look like a student. Until they started coming-out with Pro-Tecs in different colors. I did see a student get dragged by her main and she went head-first into the side of a concrete culvert. She cracked the Pro-Tec and had a bit of a headache afterwards but I did gain a whole new respect for Pro-Tecs! Chuck

My FD helmet did serve its purpose one time. I was doing a Casa jump at the 2nd Dublin boogie, and there was a big guy right in front of me diving out. We had to dive out in a hurry cuz the organizer said so. Well, I got kicked hard in the chin by the guy in front of me when he went head down off the ramp and I was too close behind him. POW! I saw stars, but it cleared quickly and the rest of the jump went well. Back on the ground I looked over the helmet and there were hairline cracks in the jawline part of the helmet! They're still there today. As soon as I was off student status, I quit wearing a helmet! Helmets weren't 'cool'! Back then, your choices for helmets was quite limited and looked 'f'ugly'. One day, I was on a 4-way with 3 experienced jumpers. One of the guys 'brain-farted' and turned wrong, kicking me on the side of the head. Really rang my bell! I came-out of it about 3,000ft. and just dumped! I vaguely recall flopping like a rag-doll. Had a good landing and a pounding head. By the next week-end, I had a brand new 'Arrowhead' and refused to jump without it! It only takes one time. Chuck

My dad told me while I was growing-up: "Do it right or don't do it at all!" Keep the odds on your side! Chuck

Good lookin' rig!! Comfy too, huh? Chuck

I didn't use my FD helmet for real head protection on the slopes. Until that last outing, I'd gone skiing without ANY head protection. I don't ski like the pros do and am cautious for the most part. What I did like about it was that it kept my head toasty warm, and if I fell down and slid down the slope a bit, it'd keep me from getting ice burn or scrapes. No, it's not going to really protect me if I slam into a pole or tree. Then again, I'm not hauling ass down the slopes at breakneck speeds.

Imagine... how the rigger feels! The son of the rancher I work for, always brought his rig to me for I&R. One Saturday, he had a reserve ride. I witnessed the whole thing and he did a good job getting material into the air. After that, I could do no wrong, back at the ranch! Chuck

Calling and asking how she liked the lotion is the same as asking for a thank-you. I was told growing up, "If, you do a kindness for someone... do it and forget about it!" "If, you get a thank you, that's icing on the cake!" Granted, folks should say thank you at certain times but some don't. Just feel good inside that you were kind to her and go-on. Chuck

All the lead and powder fumes were starting to get to me, so I quit..... Vent fan! Chuck
