    The current sequential record is 121, and it was an international invitational. Any single country that can beat it without paying ringers will have something to crow about.

    Yup, that's me. Good ol' reliable F111. They even make reserve parachutes out of me.

    That's all OK if your equity is outpacing your interest rate. It's OK if at the end of the year you've gained more equity than you have spent in financing it. You'd probably be better off consolidating those. In my market, you can rent a house for $1700 that would cost you $3000 a month to mortgage at 100%. However, a $600,000 house is forcast to gain $60,000 in equity this year, and you can write of the finance interest, still. It's a tough call.

    You'd hope. A slow climbing plane at high altitude is a freezing experience. I'm pretty sure that most of the AZ fleet is oxygen capable though. (Except maybe the WWII era DC-3 and the -18

    That's a nice summation Bill. These arguments historically get hottest before they are solved. People invested in the flat earth system get really antsy when somebody loads up a ship and departs to the west and arrives from the east. As the scientific community continues to decode DNA, we'll find out if there is a cro-magnon or neanderthal man in our past. Maybe even if that first amphibian is programmed in there somewhere. I think a neat question that has not been answered, will be. That is, does DNA even allow for evolution? One of the most convincing arguments I've heard is that DNA does not allow for evolution, but only for mutation. That perhaps the fossil record is just a record of other species existence, but not that the fossil record points towards current species. I think in cases like these, the loudest arguments are from the folks with the most pride or whatever to lose.

    I attempted to PM you this, but you have that turned off, you must be famous in Speakers. We digress here... I don't do lending yet, but all my stuff for first time buyers has been 100% financing. Pretty much everything else is 5 to 7 year fixed ARMS. Even before the big ARM/3-5 year fixed thing, people were moving every five years or so. For folks who do that, a 5 year fixed 30 year ARM is the way to go. Where people are blowing it is in not reinvesting their equity in their property. If they take on average half their equity gains each year and spend them on consumables like cars and vacations, when they get to the 30 year point they have the equity of half the house they are living in, and they have mortgage payments till the day they die. By 65 people want to have the ability to consolidate their investments and own at least one house.

    All humor is usually at somebody's expense. The Mayor and the Chief over there are some of the most humorless people on the planet. Police work is funny f*cking stuff. The cops all knew better, though. I remember when "In Living Color" was on, we used to talk about how come it was funny coming from the TV, but if we discussed the episodes at work we could be disciplined for racism. Just cause it's funny on Reno 911, doesn't mean it's OK to reproduce with the City's stuff.

    I don't know where you are getting that. The media is telling everybody the NorCal housing market is a goner, but I'm a Realtor, and I'm here to tell you it's not. Overpriced homes aren't selling because they are overpriced. People were panic buying this past spring and overpayed for their houses assuming the market was going to keep going at 25% appreciation a year. Folks that bought over a year ago are still making equity on their sales. I'm not having any trouble with my listings. There's a cycle in this. People get all worked up and there's a general move towards Arizona, Texas, Montana, or wherever, people spent two winters there and move back. The problem with Monterey regarding skydiving is mostly one of perception. Even when they had an Otter, people drove further to get to Davis, Byron, Lodi, and Hollister.

    We've got Paul and MadJohn up for a flock pretty much every weekend at Byron. If the tandems and AFF ease up, I'm looking forward to getting current again.

    Then do the sort!

    I agree that temping is a very good gig that pays pretty well. Another good paying pretty mindless job is loading trucks for UPS. I'd give them a call right now, that's how I got the job. They hire tons of extra help at Christmas and keep all the folks they like. You'd probably get lucky and be able to go out with a driver as a runner. Very mindless, just have to be able to remember zip codes.

    Ha. You ever met BillVon? I had him in tears voicing a bulldog in Eloy. The key to humor is listening. When people are talking while you are telling jokes, shut up and let them drink more beer.

    You know you're a veteran skydiver when you notice that a female skydiver on your formation in freefall has hard nipples and say to yourself "Damn, it IS really cold!" Conversly, if you are a female skydive and you grab the nads of a male skydiver in freefall and remark to yourself "Wow, what shrinkage, it IS really cold" you are a verteran skydiver.

    Hmmm. I'm in good company when I do "JP Kelly skydiving" http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&lr=&q=jp+kelly+skydiving&btnG=Search I get almost nothing when I search for my real estate site. That's why I'm going to give 20% of my real estate commissions to a skydiver who can direct traffic to my website. For folks who need websites to make money, don't skimp on the website people. 80% of something is way better than 100% of nothing. Work the web.

    Huh. At 21 I was willing to take responsibility for a platoon of Marines. The US military, with some experience, generally does not empower life and death decisions regarding other peoples lives to their 18 year-olds. A tandem skydive is a death sentence committed (stayed) by the tandem master. Some 18-year-olds are ready for that. Most are not. It's one of those frustrating realities. Like most pilots need 20-20 vision, but there are exceptions.

    Is that what you call them? Yes. Bring them!

    OMG, I never thought of that. I miss that about being a cop. "One Adam Twelve, see the farmer about getting the fruitbat removed from his stallion's penis" "10-4" Twenty cars would show up. That's what crowds of cops are: wierd shit or free food.

    bAH. Come on! That "bagpipes hitting a banjo in a dumpster " line deserves recognition. Hook em!
  21. Deuce
    You ass. Bring me shiner bock for a repeat performance. I have always wondered about the losers taking pictures of me having the time of my life. I suspect they hoard them and wonder what fun it would be to be me. ! On New Year's eve 2004 were you on the beacon at Eloy having a heart-to-heart with one of the most famous posters of all time? I was. The very best stuff doesn't get posted. I will crash your band, Aggie, like bagpipes hitting a banjo in a dumpster! BRING IT!

    ***SEATTLE - A man has pleaded guilty to trespassing in connection with a fatal horse-sex case. ADVERTISEMENT [-78161] James Michael Tait, 54, of Enumclaw, was accused of entering a barn without the owner's permission. Tait admitted to officers that he entered a neighboring barn last July with friend Kenneth Pinyan to have sex with a horse, charging papers said. Tait was videotaping the episode when Pinyan suffered internal injuries that led to his death. Tait pleaded guilty Tuesday and was given a one-year suspended sentence, a $300 fine, and ordered to perform eight hours of community service and have no contact with the neighbors. The prosecutor's office said no animal cruelty charges were filed because there was no evidence of injury to the horses. I call bullsh*t on this one. If he had raped a kitten there would have been charges? Argh.

    Wow. That was cool. (edit) Could somebody post a link to where a reptile keeps his balls. Like Kimodo Dragon balls. That might make a good line "Oooh, baby. I want to have hot crazy kimodo dragons sex with you!"

    Dude, you literally wrote the book on wingsuit flight, so WTF is this new word you've invented? Ablity: The square of the mass versus shoulder strength of a person flying an S3 with a pixie on their back.
