  1. Those strip clubs are cold and need to keep warm one way or another! And why not the other! Long story short...A friend went to a strip club in I think it was Iowa. Walked in, the biggest girl there sat on him...no joke sat on him...would not get off untill he paid her $5! Now that is one smart girl!

  2. AAAAAAHHHHHHHH!!!!!!! That there is funny! OH now that's a thought! + sized pageants! Size 20+ ladies! I would actually pay to watch that! You know kind of like picking the biggest girl at the strip club to give you a lap dance!

  3. Did she at least buy you dinner first! I get it I get it...but remember bro's before ho's! That said being that "sensitive" "evolved" hipster guy isn't going to get you much. Maybe a date with some chick who only owns granny panties! Now being a shallow satirical well dressed dude such as I? Well! Need I say more? ;-) For the record, who watches beauty pageants anyway? Ladies FYI the girls of porn have a way healthier BMI than the ladies of pageants! So, logic serves that if you want your man to understand what a real woman's body looks like....porn!

  4. Thanks guys, I'll have to reread Brians book and retake his class. As stated I had tried 90's with fronts (Look left pull on front left while pushing left hip down) in a standard pattern a few times and noticed that in 0 wind days i had more flare. But as many of you indicated it is dangerous and not for a new guy. No problem. I'll keep working on my flat turns, soft landing, accuracy and keep the front risers for 3kFt+.

  5. I'll stick with 90's for now Can you even swoop a chunky 7 cell? Life through good thoughts, good words, and good deeds is necessary to ensure happiness and to keep chaos at bay. The only thing that falls from the sky is birdshit and fools!
  6. I would ask my instructors but they were all busy. Here is my situation, on my standard left hand turn final I've noticed that on my Triathlon that if I make conservative front riser turns I build up a bit of speed which greatly helps me with my landings. I achieve significantly stronger flare and much softer landings. Again standard left hand turns on final and conservative front riser turns. My question, does this help or hinder my ability to deal with adverse conditions? The reason I ask that due to my low number of jumps I'm not 100% but it "feels" as if I'm experiencing significantly less turbulent "bump" on final. My thinking is that sing I have gained speed, kinetic energy, not only do I have more energy to divert into the flare but also that the cells are effectively more pressurized. If this is so I would like to continue this method of setting up my landings. But just wasn't 100% sure if it was acceptable for a person with a low number of jumps to utilize their fronts for making turns. Thank you.

  8. Yum this could be fun! Actually one of the girls I had a date with last week does "fitness modeling".....WHY DIDN'T ANY ONE TELL ME ABOUT THIS!! She is a little bigger than I like but.....I'm ok with it. Have this one silly rule about not dating girls who's hips are bigger than mine....so 33in or less.

  9. Hum....I think you are doing it a bit wrong. 1) Invite them over for a boogie...and give them BBQ duty! 2) Point out the "angry chick skydiver" there is always one...and introduce them as "Shah from DZ.com" and then stand back and watch the ensuing sexually heated arguments. 3) Teach them how to pack and say you will pay them $5 IN CASH!

  10. Breathing exercises? I mean are you spinning, are you flipping on your back, are you flapping your arms? Try and tell people what is going on and I'm sure there are enough very well versed people here who can provide you with more assistance. And don’t be too hard on yourself. If you had fun and landed safely and were able to walk off the grass under your own power you are doing great!

  12. Did someone just call it at 35% at over $300k? WTF! I make $100k and my income is taxed at 30% WTF is up with that ! OK yeah eat the rich! Fuck this...it's war! Buffet called it!

  13. like enabling you and millions of others to overbid on houses, causing the actual bubble that burst? I'm sorry but I under bid on the house. They wanted $325k and I made an offero f $300k which at the time was the appraised value of the home. I had $40k cash so thus why wen went for the 80/20. Took the money and renovated and updated.

  14. Do you mean "AWACS"? Yeah that too!
  15. So if I barrow money and buy back my own stocks.....I'll only bay 15% + 5% interest? OK I'll take 20% to 30% in tax + interest. Second, how about maybe just maybe paying people more for their investment. Remember the more the CEO makes...the less I as an individual investor get.

  16. billvon I'm sorry...doing home work / work work and this... You are 100% right. I was talking about capital gains tax. Yes you pay the CEO in stocks and when they sell in a year they are taxed at a lower rate than the average Joe. God I wish my tax on my income was only 15% my tax rate on my income is about 30%. I could use another 15K! Life through good thoughts, good words, and good deeds is necessary to ensure happiness and to keep chaos at bay.

  17. My mortgage is about 35% of my income. So yes you are right I am 5% over. My issue is with the 35% loss of value caused by a few who made very good money doing not so good things.

  18. Money isn't taxed, people (and virtual people, like corporations) are taxed. You too have drunk the GOP Kool-Aid. kallend Sorry too many economics classes. Yes you are taxed but in theory we state "the money/income/prouct is taxed." Yes you are right, you as the individual receive the income are taxed. But to keep things clear we indicated that the funds are taxed. In this case you are taxed twice. You earn the money, are taxed on that earnings, you then invest the money and when that money makes a profit and when you pull it out you were also taxed. But due to the large number of people who now have retirement accounts such as IRA's and 401k's taxing these middle class folks twice just didn't seem right thus the tax law was modified to substantially reduce the tax on collecting ones return. Hope that helps. Life through good thoughts, good words, and good deeds is necessary to ensure happiness and to keep chaos at bay. The only thing that falls from the sky is birdshit and fools!
  19. The IDEA was that your average joe would not have to pay too high a tax on his IRA or 401k when he or she retired. Furthermore it was a little odd...pay tax on the money you make twice? But then those with MILLIONS started playing the game. And quickly it got nutty. People were no longer paid in cash in some cases they were paid with stocks and CEO pay went nutty. Why? Well look if you paid a guy $10mill he lost half to taxes so why pay him that much? But if you pay him say $10mill in stocks...he only pays 10% in taxes. Thus you as a CEO can get paid much MUCH MUCH MORE and still get taxed very little and in some cases next to nothing. The tax burden of compensation would in effect be pushed down to the consumer in either higher costs or reduced dividends on investment. If you ever truly wish to be pissed off determine the cost of doing business in terms of the fees you pay on your IRA or 401k. I'll give you a hint...well over 70% goes towards compensation. Look it started off as a very good idea perhaps it needs a modification to keep a very good idea relevant.

  20. I can't tell you? Maybe yes and maybe no. Last anyone knew they were still rocking a very good long range radar and were being used as AWAX systems. With these things you just never know. Odds are yes they are just targets. But you just never know. Never the less an interesting story regarding the Shah of Iran and the F-14 and the F-18...and a few other things such as the nuclear reactor that was a gift and the printing presses.

  21. DrewEckhardt Very well put. Though I'm not a major fan of hitting strip clubs. It's kind of like dropping $20k on a mortgage that is a solid $60k under water. A waste of good money. Things are not good, I don't see them getting any better. You have empowered banks who effectively have more power than the federal government and people who may one day wake up and realize that it's just not worth it. The days of home ownership may be at an end. It's just not worth it. Pay off your debts, make a few very well planned investments, rent and walk every few years much like people do with cars. It may work? It may mead a solid decade of 5%+ unemployment. Life through good thoughts, good words, and good deeds is necessary to ensure happiness and to keep chaos at bay.

  22. On one hand it's taxing money twice...which is wrong. On the other it can be argued that the money being pulled out is of a lesser value than the money that was invested. But it's also a very good way to dance around the tax code. A company could pay you say $10mill in cash or $10mill in stocks....at which point you could sell them and only pay 10% in taxes? It is a very effective way for the very well to do to shift the burden of taxes from to the company which they worked for and issued them the stocks or bonds which in turn transfers the cost of those taxes on to the people who actually buy the product. The cut and dry answer? There isn't one. People are pissed, there is a war on the middle class by the upper class and some people want blood. This may be just enough blood to calm a few people down. It will be as effective as the Corporate Jet tax... Life through good thoughts, good words, and good deeds is necessary to ensure happiness and to keep chaos at bay.
