Deuce

That Wings harness and container system is the only way Shannon could be made more attractive. I especially like the "JP" embroidery.

It only hurts at the beginning.

But would you tug on Superman's cape? Would you spit into the wind? Would you pull the mask off of the Old Lone Ranger?

No, Bill. At least not in California. 415 of the penal code and 837: 415. Any of the following persons shall be punished by imprisonment in the county jail for a period of not more than 90 days, a fine of not more than four hundred dollars ($400), or both such imprisonment and fine: (1) Any person who unlawfully fights in a public place or challenges another person in a public place to fight. (2) Any person who maliciously and willfully disturbs another person by loud and unreasonable noise. (3) Any person who uses offensive words in a public place which are inherently likely to provoke an immediate violent reaction. 837. A private person may arrest another: 1. For a public offense committed or attempted in his presence. 2. When the person arrested has committed a felony, although not in his presence. 3. When a felony has been in fact committed, and he has reasonable cause for believing the person arrested to have committed it. So, a person goes into a crowd of partisans of either stripe and start calling them fuckwads. That person is committing a 415. At that point any citizen can use whatever force is necessary to detain the offender until police arrive to recieve the citizen's arrest. The "hair pull takedown" is a standard restraining hold. I've done it lots and lots of times. Usually the arrestor also kicks the back of one of the knees while pulling downward to drive the person to the ground. It's painful, but that is why it's called a "pain compliance" hold. "Ma'am, please put your hands behind your back, and I'll stop hurting you". If somebody uses words likely to provoke an immediate, violent reaction, and you punch them and sit on them until the cops arrive, you are OK. Kicking the guy into the corner as he pisses himself is not OK. Again, having been in the Bay Area my whole law enforcement career, I was more likely to be chopping down conservative extremists protesting at things like the Gay Pride Parade. ( I got out before it became the gay lesbian, transgender, vegan thing it is nowadays) Civility is the answer. We all have a right to speak, we do not have a right to force others to listen to us. P.S. the very best code site in the world is this one: http://search.netscape.com/ns/boomframe.jsp?query=california+code&page=1&offset=1&result_url=redir%3Fsrc%3Dwebsearch%26requestId%3Dbdeaf20b459d2d74%26clickedItemRank%3D1%26userQuery%3Dcalifornia%2Bcode%26clickedItemURN%3Dhttp%253A%252F%252Fwww.leginfo.ca.gov%252Fcalaw.html%26invocationType%3D-%26fromPage%3DNSCPToolbarNS%26amp%3BampTest%3D1&remove_url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.leginfo.ca.gov%2Fcalaw.html It's only for California, but it's very good. Everything is illegal if you look hard enough.

When is your next psych appointment? You are entering that wierd manic stage, and you need to get your meds adjusted. Your'e right. There are no more pictures.

Iwan tells student "On exit, grab your feet quick! Thrash the big bald guy!"

Whatcha doing there boet? Looking for some sun? He's loading up on Giraffe jerky. Mmmmmm. Nummy!

Reminded me of the old "Aerobicise" shorts they used to play on cable in the 80's.

IT'S ALIVE!

I saw you filming it. He's a great guy. Let's not make him self conscious. If, in fact, he can be made self conscious. "Yeah, baby!" More Europeans know about Super Dave than any other DZ Pilot. Git some! Yeaaaaaaaaaah.

I didn't. I have the impression that most of the Democrat power structure has disdain for wage earners. (Theresa and John Kerry would stun me, I think) I was nicely surprised by his civility. Southern folks usually are nicer than the rest of us Americans. At least they usually observe the forms. Honestly, I don't like the man's politics, but that's true for lots of my friends. But I like Al more.

"Right of passage, baby" "Oooooooh yeah!" "Semper Fi, Devil Dog!" Yeaaaaaaaaah. Git some.

That one is a placekeeper for the 1DS sensor being made available with that buffer. Look for lots of Rebels and 10D's on EBay. We're a year from the 1DS sensor in that polymer frame. Until I'm offered 1:1, I'm not getting rid of my 10D.

What a polite guy. If he didn't know about the microphone and video, I am really impressed with how civilized he was to get a ticket. I like Al Gore more.

That's all the pics that will fit in one post. You guys have fun. It's a great time. Shannon? Be careful not to hurt the feelings of the professor.

Ah, Wendy. It'll be OK. You'll notice all those "haters" are wearing baggy suits.

Bzzzzzt! WRONG! The three legs of a successful marriage are Sex, Money, and Housekeeping. Lack of any of those (money meaning contributing to the maintenance of the household) is a dealbreaker.

Holy Cow that's funny.

I think the protestors at the RNC convention expressed themselves far more profanely than whatever protestors showed up in Boston for the DNC. That said, I'll try and use my spell check more. Glass parking lot indeed! Never. Do you have any idea how many illegal alien laborers it takes to clean a glass parking lot?

You refer to "little hookitt" as your dog? Some dog.

Bobby, from the video, it looks like you exited from the back of the door, and jumped up. That big-assed tail on the S3 probably saved your head. It appears you opened the tail too quickly and it rotated your head out of the way of the horizontal stabilizor and your tail hit it instead. If you had stayed stable and tracked right up the relative wind, you probably would have caught it in the back. How much damage an Aussie could do to the port horizontal stabilizor of a 750, I don't know. I'm thinking we birdmen should make great efforts to get suit flyers to stay closed until they see the aircraft above them, and then open their suits, when jumping from KingAirs and PACS.

Looks to me like he jumped up on exit from the rear of that big door and opened his suit up too soon. I've never jumped the 750, but I will at the end of the month when we get Skydance's for our boogie. It sounds to me like the problems with the 750 are caused by having a KingAir-type configuration, low tail, low wing, with a humongous door. That door lets folks get much closer to both control surfaces. The little door on the KingAir keeps people pretty much equidistant from both the wing and tail, reducing the chance of hitting them. The 750 lets you stand both feet ON the wing, and the door lets you get closer to the tail. So, if you have body memory from a KingAir (this will be something I have to concentrate on, cause most of my jumps are KingAir jumps) stuff you could get away with will end up getting you injured/damaging the 750. The only way to eliminate this risk is with tailgates, like Phree said.

Argh. I'd go with the Sony repair. If you can.

You were driving. I was drinking. Driver is supposed to know where he's going. Drinker is supposed to drink. I would have been happy to drive, but my drinkers all has to pee in this wierd gangland Wendy's. I had to stand there and guard both the advance and retreat from the relief center. OK, it was fun, though.

I really think the '08 primaries will result in Hillary v. Giuliani. 8 more years.
