Deuce

Wait. Seriously. Is there an espresso machine? I take my espresso very, very seriously

My Dear Hired Gun, Beer is included in the price of admission! Maybe they need me to bring bigger cups than the little ones the lawyers make the beer distributors give out?

"Well I'm Dead Sexy!"

Matt, I've got a heavy beard and I've used a Norelco rotary for about 12 years. If I use a blade razor, I get bumpy after the second day. If you use the electric EVERY day, you can get a pretty close shave, plus you can shave again that day without tearing your skin off. Nothing is closer than a blade, but you can use the rotary while driving your commute, that can be a timesaver. You can also shave at 5:30 before work and then go over the mug again at 6:30 that night before going on a date. I can't blade shave twice the same day, and not piss off the skin.

Pre! Thanks for the updates! What video equipment is in the room? What time in the morning does load one depart? -and- Uh, do you need anything brought out? See you next Thursday night! JP

Dear Ms. Bitch Don't you remember being petulant when you were young? Wait. I mean when you were in your late teens and early twenties? Heck, I'd look around at folks with all the stuff the freedom of money bought and resent them. Then I went out and found a way to make some money, sold my soul to the white man, and now I get to go to Eloy. So some of these people are realizing that in order to go to Eloy; "I've got to sell my soul to the white man or live in a van down by the river??!!! Well, THAT SUCKS!" Yepper, sorta. But on balance it's been worth it, don't you think? So when I hear whining, I invite people to go get a job as a cop. They're all hiring. You can skydive during the day, go to school at night, you'll have days off in the middle of the week when nothing is crowded, and you'll have the money to buy new gear and go to Eloy. You'll find me there with this bitchy lady hanging off the step of the Skyvan. Where' the packer's tent? Another pitcher please, and a round of Bushmills, neat. Chow.

Dog advice from a Dog Terrorist? Dude, look at that avatar! Reply to this post, or I'll shoot this spouse.

Emily Harris? Dude I lent her my truck, with my kids in it even. Lend her the dream, she's good for it

So long as you start with "Big Daddy" you can follow it with whatever you want! Big Daddy Nate, Big Daddy Shitheap, It is all good.

I missed it. When did it become OK to call you "Nate". Or did I imagine that? Bring that ringer's lactate stuff when you come out.

Thanks for the link from the Camera Forum, J. (birdmen, I'm a camera flyer, and have video'd just a couple of these, but they're a big topic of discussion cause they video and photo so sweet) The rodeo position that seems to work best is the rider sitting right behind the butt, holding the bottom of the rig. The rider's legs are alongside the birdman's hips, not interfering with opening up the wings or the tail. Without somebody increasing your fallrate it's the only way a non-birdsuited jumper can hang with you guys!

I figure, like most of the big questions, I'll get the answer after I die, or not. An interesting take on this that I read, and discussed with a fervent creationist, was that DNA does not allow for evolution. It does allow for mutation, but mutation cannot become part of the genetic code. Any human DNA apparently has the data for that individual to have any human physical trait. So if I move my people natural selection of the already possessed genetic characteristics will take place, and our appearance will change over time, but that's selection, not evolution. I think the answer to whether we evolved from another form of life would be in our genetic code, I don't think the fossil record is all that convincing. The religion stuff just keeps me honest, married, and good to my fellow man. If I die and just get cold, it will still have been worth it. Billvon, you're enfuego today!

See, that's something most people don't know. County Jail is a much harsher place, generally, than prison. Jail is only set up to keep people in custody for less than a year, or while they are in trial, cause the Sheriff usually does bailiff duties for the Courts. The convict types are anxious to get convicted and sent up to State Pen, cause they have more freedom of movement, access to punks, visitors, drugs, etc. The jail I worked in was modeled on Pelican Bay State Prison. After a lengthy trial, the convicts were anxious to get to the greater "freedoms" of prison. And that was without serving them rendered goat stool.

Those helmets do look mighty fine, I'm wondering if they have a distributor in Cali.... Jairo, you ever let anybody ride your back on the Birdman? I've got some sweet video of one of my fellow camera flyers, a little guy, riding a birdman. You know, BB is pretty teeny, and you could track forever with her on your back, and video guys just never get enough video of themselves.....

My man, it's meatless. You know how animals pass undigested food in their stool? That's loaf. Picture birds picking corn out of poop. It is only technically even food. You take all the meatless leftovers, put them in one of those big ship-sized food processors and then cook it down until it's solid. Just like how your body produces waste, pretty much. You torture prisoners and they attack the guards. Some poor doofus newbie Deputy on midnight shift will do the suicide watch on Malvo The Coward and get his eye gouged out with a plastic spork cause tortured people do the weirdest things. Part of me would like to see him in a bamboo cage that kept him hunched over, unable to sit, or stand, unable to sleep. But that's not our gig. "Death by meatloaf" I think the musician version could do it....

Look, I've duked it out with my fair share of inmates, and I've put a lot of folks in prison, and I worked in a jail for three years as a Deputy doing classification work. That said, understand I loathe criminal behavior. But serving that murderer loaf for the next ten years is silly. Petty justice isn't what we're about. Serve the idiot yams or boiled soybeans or whatever, convict him ASAP, and kill him. F*cking around with him while we've got him caged is beneath professional law enforcement. Feed him the stupid vegetarian meals. Honestly, I am familiar with loaf, and it is the equivalent of forcing the inmate to fast for the duration. We don't torture our inmates and convicts and we shouldn't. Expeditiously find him guilty, and kill him. Poking him while he's caged is petty, and doesn't help anyone.

JYork: In a word, no. We've done this one before, so if you search the threads in this forum, you'll get some pretty thorough answers. I don't recall anybody had one....

As Mel Brooks said; "It's good to be the King"

Happyman, I'd redo the title of the thread if I could go back. I just love that ZERO chance of precipitation! Heeheeeheeee.

THanks for posting those pictures. That chincup is a nice solution to the exposed ends of the ratchet stuff that sticks out on either the Hawkeyes or the Boneheads. That looks like a well thought out design.

Canuck, I'll get there on the 26th at night. If you still haven't popped that cherry, I'll get it load one on Thursday for a roll of film and a pack job. I'll be jumping anyway, so what the hell. Besides, Cornholio owes me a jump ticket for his video, and I'm collecting in AZ. I'm still wondering what other mercenary camera fliers will be doing the DZ.com thing. Cajones, I'll give you everything I get. Can I get a copy of the final? Epic. It'll be freakin epic.

Dude I'm great with a needle. Please bring two "Will video for Ringers lactate, stat!"

Dave, in California there's a group called CABBI, California Association of Bed and Breakfast Inns. I bet there's a similar thing there in the Lone Star State. Most all the B&B's in the state are registered with them. You get a gift certificate for $150 and you get this cool brochure with all the neat places to stay, and Mom plans a nice little trip around the stay. If my Mom actually NEEDS something she tells me, but otherwise it's a cool ticket. She can stay anywhere she wants, and most of the places are neat.

Then it may be my butt, but I'll have to check from home to be sure!

Hey folks! I'm going to be exclusively jumping with and filming DZ.commers at Eloy next weekend. Cajones and Lewmonst are there covering the event at large, I heard. Jairo, are you just going to film DZ.com folks? Any other camera fliers just going to be hanging out with the DZ.com posse? I want to make sure I get firewire of every DZ.com jump that's taped so I can edit up a compilation. Zero chance of precipitation forcast for next Friday, my first day. Whoo-hoo!
