  1. They were about 12 grand from the Kennel my old department got them from. They imported the dogs from Germany. You add in the cop for the first month of intensive training at 7 grand with benefits and one day a week off to train. They are really expensive, but they are regarded as much more disposable than the human officer. Most of the K-9 handlers love their dogs as much as they love their children. I've seen a couple of "tough" guys cry like babies when their dogs were injured. They aren't cops, except for the purposes of argument, but they are surely members of the police family.
  2. Can't be late for work EVERY day
  3. I just heard about this obvious danger this past weekend. When the TM pulls, and the pair drop through the "trap door" they swing forward at line stretch and can kick the camera flyer in the face. Well, duh. How often does this happen? Since I've been in the sport only a couple of short years, the focus seems to have been on camera helmet entanglement, and unstable deployment danger for camera flyers. Getting whacked by the feet of the TM pair at line-stretch/deployment as a primary danger wasn't something I'd heard of before Saturday. Do any of you have any incidents you can share? Thanks, JP
  4. It was my wife's SHOWER. Don't make me go there.
  5. No. I wasn't speeding, I was swooping. I have a D license, so it's OK.
  6. Well, crap. I'd get more comfortable shoes, cause that student-sized stuff is heavy. And I'd jump less, cause with the winds at my home DZ I'd be going backwards at touchdown, a LOT.
  7. Yeah, got my D license in the mail Friday. D 25597. Now I know everything. I'm downsizing to a Firestorm 79, ditching my reserve altogether, doing micro-eliptical CRW with skysurf boards, all of that. My wife, Morgan Fairchild, approves.
  8. Good one. You'd have to start paying somebody to chase your "main" and your freebag, though. Get one of those "tri" containers for demoing reserve cutaways. Smarty.
  9. Look Seb! It's sponsored by a german brewery!
  10. Wait, isn't that porn-polka music? Ew.
  11. No. It's Friday, you aint got sh*t to do, I'm gonna get you high!
  12. Dang you gave me up! Ready! Set! go! and me and you watch 198 people drop so we can get another 5 or 10 grand for a two-way
  13. Guwhanga-chicky-chick-a bwow-wow.
  14. Pictures of pink jumpsuit now. Bytch!
  15. Yeah, but the beauty of Zeppelins and blimps is that they are fuel efficient, so cheap to operate once their construction has been paid for. Yeah that thing you're talking about would be fun to jump off. It would smell pretty bad with 12 turbines going full blast to keep it aloft, though. I like the smell of jet exhaust, but that would be too much of a good thing.
  16. Is the porn music still going? Bwow chicka bwow-wow.
  17. No! Zeppelin! Not Blimp! Chock full of Helium, big-ass motors! We hook on to the outside of the gondola standing on little tiny step, WHAP! Drop the ballast, ZOOM! 10 grand in 3 minutes, straight up! 16 of us go on GO! and the Zep is at 15 grand in nothing flat, dumps some helium, motors back down, hook the ballast back up, refill the helium bag they had to dump, do it again with a 30 minute turn around.
  18. It's big enough on the outside.
  19. yeah, the one I saw from a motorcyclist was OK. The rider's body absorbs most of the vibration before it gets to the head. The new Sony's have great image stabilization, that's what Tosh has.
  20. Lots for hooligan motorcycling. Also snowboarding.
  21. Cue 1970's porn music track. Action!
  22. Not a chick. An aircraft shaped like an enourmous breast. Oh, yeah. Think of the possible paint jobs. Didn't Woody Allen have a movie where a giant breast roamed the planet like godzilla. It's Friday. I can no longer maintain any trains of thought. Did you know that Lionel Ritchie doesn't get any residuals for inventing the Lionel trains? The little ones. B-squared is petite, I wouldn't call her little. I should just go now. Time for Judge Wopner. I'm a good driver.
  23. I am a moh-ron after all. It says "matching", still full gallop riding is horney-making so the odds are still favorable. I'm going to screw with Nathan when he gets to the paranoid stage.
  24. Well Hell, Bytch. I brought an old uniform for you ex to wear the next time you go into the Ton-far or whatever that biannual sex festival you have is called. And there's just no way to charge off two-up on a horse without having sex right after. It can't be done.
