Deuce

Yeah, whatever. Good luck, dude. I was done with you, but the PM insult was a bit much. Have some fun with the wingsuit flying. I do. I'm not a BMI either. But it doesn't make me feel small, and it doesn't keep me from teaching. Cheer up. It's a beautiful world. And lots of folks want to fly horizontally. Across the beautiful blue sky, streaking across the edges of the clouds. This will be the last time I respond publically to you, Voodew. You are now (at least for now) off my radar. Wingsuit flight is a beautiful thing. I have shared my knowledge and my suit with many fliers. I don't have a BMI and don't need one or the need to berate one to encourage people into the sport. Lots of people who have flown GTi's have flown my suit. Including the rather famous MadJohn. I love wingsuit flying. I only got involved in this thread because of the hostility you seem to express toward the official BMCI program. I very much really could not give a shit. Unlike you, I have flown with the greatest in the sport, in just about every discipline. I have nothing to prove. You can prove your rebel wingsuit instructor program. Good for you. You, however, are begging for validation. I, on the other hand, have been validated in several disciplines. That seems for whatever reason, be it luck or whatever to piss people off. I've been lucky to benefit from chance, circumstance, and location to have learned a lot in a short period of time. You're not having had such luck does not entitle you to be bitching at the world for your unfortunate circumstance. Cheers. JP There does not seem to be anything to keep you from being the premier source of information regarding wingsuiting in your part of the world. Other than your lack of jumps and training. I'm sure your students will understand that.

OK, cool. We acknowledge my wierdness and violence. This may be a situation that does not change votes. I think that is significant, as this is an issue late in the game, according to the libs. How does this affect the swing voters? Q, BillV? I care less and less. I think that if Kerry wins the White House we will have a totally ineffective Presidency. I prefer that to an effective Bush Presidency, which would cost us all a lot of money.

Ah, my luscious leg-humper. I love you. (yes I said that out loud) Some of my first questions about skydiving were on DZ.com. Everything I have accomplished so far has been helped by this site and Sangiro himself. Yeah, I'm lucky in Sangiro, and in the people I've met through him. And I've met him too. All very good. Very, very good.

Yep. I think of you and my friends all the time. Lucky me.

Qdio, I think I am much wierder than you imagine. First, I am faster and more lethal than my enemy. I am a stupendous badass. If it's me, I am glad to give my enemy the impression that he has the advantage. He's got half a billion pounds of high explosive, he is the biggest thing ever to happen in his world. That is a big deal. The biggest deal in local history. He is nada mucho in my world. I don't think he is much of a threat in John Kerry's world either. It's about placement. They are not likely to be able to place it anywhere effective. If they manage to kill another 3000 people in a nice suburban mall, I don't think that Bush will be to blame. I don't think Kerry would have done anything much different. Other than I think that at some level, Bush understands guys like me a little better than Kerry. I don't think Kerry would allow guys like me in his house. I am all about the killing of the people who would kill me and my family and my friends before they killed a single one of my friends or family. I really think that is the difference. That we must wait to find the proof of hostility through murder, rather than killing the enemy on their professed intent. Radical Islam requires the murder/subjugation of my women. I get all crazy about that. P.S. OK, I reread all that and I want to clarify that I don't wear my hardassedness out in the open. I also am not bluffing. I think that when the knuckleheads admit (if it's true) that they have a zillion pound of HE, that they will be smartbombed to hell. And I will point and laugh. Paul, back to you. And I appreciate your thoughtful response. So if they have all that coolio HE, is Kerry a better responder to that threat? If there is a serious terrorist threat that now has a zillion pounds of explosive, is Kerry Edwards the best American response? PPS: Anyone who has met me will know I am nowhere near this camo-badass in person. Heck, I'm a 3rd grade girls CYO basketball coach!

Thank you, Paul. That makes sense. Like I said, I've voted (ineffective Electoral Collegiates for Bush!) but I think you are right, and I think that Al Quaida is that smart. I do suspect, though, that the national conscious of the US is very fundamentally different from Spain, for example. If they blow up a bunch of soldiers like in Beirut, they will guarantee a Bush landslide.

OMG. They had these things called "balmane (sp) bugs" which were so freaking good to eat. They were the ugliest things I've ever eaten, kind of like trilobytes. But they were so good. I have no idea how much they cost now, but the crustaceans they had were delicious, and wierd.

Is that something they teach cadets at the academy? "The plunger and other tools for close quarter persuasion". Valuable skill if you ever find yourself with a so inclined date or need to get the DZ crackho out your trailer in the morning. No. It's a physical law. Like Gravity and the Speed Of Light. There Is Always Time For The Probe. Say it with me. And I want to hear the capital letters.

What about this latest story about the stolen explosives? Yeah, they were stolen, and it appears it may have happened before the US was in control of the bunkers. I am not attempting to Gotcha! you. I'm just not getting the current thrust of info. With regard to this specific issue, are the reports valid and relevant? I voted today via permanent absentee. I am guessing you guys have already voted, or at least have solidified your positions. There are lots of relevant reasons for liberals to be hostile towards the Bush administration. I'm really wondering if this new (old) issue has traction. Folks, I don't care about much else than the thinking of folks who believe that Bush dropped the ball in Iraq, and let the (terrorists?) take possession of the explosives.

Time can always be made for the probe!

You retard. See you in Eloy!

Pictures!

I don't think you could pull that off, Q. The whole provocative thing.

Better food than the Scottish Martial Arts.... What kind of weird fights are they gonna have in that new Toon-town Spaniard-designed Scottish Parliament Building, NacMac?

Zoomie ringbangers.

Normally you don't need a license to hunt vermin. If the golf course was private property, I don't get it. Maybe a local code for discharging a firearm within city limits? As to having something better to do, I used to love getting that question! Q: Don't you have something better to do (than a speeding ticket or urinating in public offense or whatever)? A: Nope. You're the best thing I got going right now!

Sitting in a leather recliner for 50 hours a week eating peanuts, the greater danger is a heart attack!

Actually, Gimp wears Gatorz too. If your eyes are really sensitive, or you wear contacts, you'll be better off with a quality pair of goggles. If you find a model of Gatorz or whatever that fits your face well, it works as good at goggles. I've got probably about 300 jumps on mine, camera, RW, freefly, and I prefer them to goggles.

GodDAMMIT Bill! That shit's not funny!

Andrea, tonight Ryan will be the focus of our dinner prayer. The Kelly family wishes and prays he recovers and is healthy. JP

Like Iwan said, that is my setup. I like it better than the stock post for no particular reason.

Just the leash thingie. Bend them to fit your face and they stay on real good. Mine are a little too tight to wear all day as sunglasses, but I put them on and off as I go in and out of the hangar. I really love mine, they have ended up being cheaper than replacing cheap plastic ones all the time which broke at the temples about monthly.

Met a couple of hardcore travelers from New Zealand while in line to see the Edinburgh Castle this summer. They had just travelled from Egypt and HATED it in capital letters. Their 8 year old daughter had gotten headlice, they had all gotten food poisoning, and they found the atmosphere to be hostile to westerners. Secondhand, but they were nice people and I thought I'd share. They were really bummed that they had put the money and effort into seeing the pyramids and stuff.

I am pointing and laughing. At you. This should be below me. But at this particular juncture it is not. Shame on me. You silly little man.

Sorry for your loss, Kelli. Condolences.
