Oh man you are screwed now... you fed it. If you're a corn-on-the-cob lover... try this sometime: Give one of the leftover cobs (after you've eaten the corn off of it) to your cat. Note its reaction. Cats will surprise you at what they'll eat. They like to eat the heads off of small furry creatures and leave the decapitated bodies lying around for the sun to bake into a permanent yard fixture. Cats are overall good creatures.... y'just have to boil the meat for several hours to break down the collagen in the connective tissue- that way it's nice and tender before you actually throw it on the grill with some Frank's Red Hot. Shave it with hair clippers if its fur is matted. Then dress it up in doll clothes so it won't be ashamed of itself when it has to go near other cats... cats hate being humiliated... especially by something as lowly as a human. If you try to look it straight in the eye it should look away, unamused. This is a sure sign of a healthy cat. Cats provide hours and hours of entertainment for their keepers; wadded up masking tape on the bottoms of their feet will have you in stitches. Clothespins on the end of the tail are also fun. Never try to take your new cat skydiving; cats don't like skydiving. They do, however, enjoy bridge jumping into deep plunge pools. Make sure the ground crew is waiting with appropriate cat retrieval gear (a big fish net works well, though is difficult to remove the cat once netted) for safety's sake. Don't forget to buy your cat some catnip. Cats love to get high.

heh heh... I always liked this one: Rampaging

well the pertinent part of georgia law (40-5-22(c)(6))reads: (c) The department shall not issue any driver's license to nor renew the driver's license of any person: (6) Who the commissioner has good cause to believe would not, by reason of physical or mental disability, be able to operate a motor vehicle with safety upon the highway; or ____ I would suggest that if you sent a certified letter to the commissioner of public safety (Department of Motor Vehicle Safety - the licensing agency) notifying him of such an issue with this person, I imagine that it would be checked out... because no public official in his right mind would allow that kind of oversight to happen and risk the possibility of you being correct. I think he would cover his ass by at least checking it out. ______ also pertinent: 40-5-34. Driver License Advisory Board. (a) The commissioner is authorized to appoint a Driver License Advisory Board. (b) The Driver License Advisory Board shall advise the commissioner on medical criteria and vision standards relating to the licensing of drivers under this chapter. (c) If the department has cause to believe that a licensed driver or applicant may not be physically or mentally qualified to be licensed, it may obtain the advice of the Driver License Advisory Board. The Driver License Advisory Board may formulate its advice from records and reports or may cause an examination and report to be made by one or more members of the Driver License Advisory Board or any other qualified person it may designate. The licensed driver or applicant may cause a written report to be forwarded to the Driver License Advisory Board by a person of his choice who is licensed under Chapter 30 of Title 43 and Article 2 of Chapter 34 of Title 43 to diagnose and treat disorders of humans. Such report shall be given due consideration by the Driver License Advisory Board. (d) Members of the Driver License Advisory Board and other persons making examinations shall not be held liable for their opinions and recommendations presented pursuant to subsection (c) of this Code section. (e) Reports received or made by the Driver License Advisory Board or its members for the purpose of assisting the department in determining whether a person is qualified to be licensed are for the confidential use of the Driver License Advisory Board or the department and may not be divulged to any person or used as evidence in any trial except that the reports may be admitted in proceedings under subsection (c) of Code Section 40-5-59 and Code Section 40-5-66, and any person conducting an examination pursuant to subsection (c) of this Code section may be compelled to testify concerning his observations and findings in such proceedings. ________________________ Send the certified letter to the Commissioner of the Department of Motor Vehicle Safety, with a copy to the Driver License Advisory Board. Note that you're a concerned citizen and that you think it's a matter of public health and welfare that this driver's medical situation be checked out. Also be prepared to be known as the accuser. That is to say, don't do this anonymously (not that you could send a certified letter anonymously). Good luck (for your own safety and the safety of others (including my family)). PM if you need contact names/addresses... I'm hooked in. Gardner

today makes 3 weeks for me. had been planning to quit all the past year... timing it with my birthday... didn't want to smoke a day past 36 y.o. Haven't yet... on the patch, but it feels different than all of the other times I've quit. This time I seem to know it's for good. Good luck! just say no Gardner

wow... that's a pretty scathing review. I'm about to take up Angels and Demons. Last book read was A National Party No More: The Conscience of a Conservative Democrat by Senator Miller After Angels and Demons I'm gonna pick up Senator McCain's Why Courage Matters : The Way to a Braver Life

yeah I saw that and I was thinkin' good gawd.. some folks just don't have any idea how good they got it. gardner

probably the federal government auctioning off crap that it manages to collect due to fines and forfeitures fukrs gardner

it's got a fair $ amount of hardware on it... gardner

if you don't know the words.... just hummit. Gardner

Good call. And, notably, in the six year window you chose, the overall toll climbed by 29. Considering the number of participants, that appears a tad grim. With the ever-greater influx of participants, it's gonna get downright bloody. Gardner

[reply...and then I'd start thinking about those ducks by the pool. They swim in this puddle right next to the pool, and I'm like, "Dude! There's a POOL right there! Why did you go for the puddle?". LOL Reminds me of something someone said once, "They got BASE jumping in Hell!" Makes y'wonder, doesn't it? Gardner

On what floor level is the cat in pic "Mischeif Sky Caught.JPG"?? gardner

218 Hmm... Guess I need to get with the program. Gardner

I think the alcohol probably contributed to his (mis)fortune, as well. gardner

got a kick out of your post - how true. as for your statement, "I'd love to make some base jumps, but the reward just does'nt seem worth the effort." Unless you enter the tiger's den, you cannot take the cubs. - japanese proverb gardner

What you've seen here ain't shit compared to what BASE jumpers are capable of... just browse the archives over on Blinc for starters. This is lightweight stuff. Bitchin' and arguing and backstabbing and shit-talkin' is the stuff of BASE. Ever tried to herd a pack of cats? Good f'n luck. Gardner

LOL I remember the first time I was on that road: I was riding in the back of a p/u truck with bald tires in the snow... that had a camper top... and two of us were in the back.. locked in. No shit there I was... thought I was gonna die.. What a great road... makes the butthole pucker, huh? There are worse roads around there than that one, believe it or not. Good stuff.

Yeah... if you don't count BD!!!

Yes this is true. see http://www.kennesaw.ga.us/CodeOfOrdinances.aspx

Jesus H Christ I take three days to move to a new apt. and am without a 'net connection over the w/e and all hell breaks loose in Georgia. Yes, as a matter of fact they have been jumped. Yes, a jumper DOES happen to currently live in _that_ town. And, if you plan on coming down to jump "the other one" that Nick mentioned, then you should probably call ahead first. As for site-naming, thread-splitting and general BASE stuff... all I gotta say is the skydiver mentality sure does show in the discussions in this sub-forum. This is what got us in trouble 20 years ago. Even as I tend to agree with Nickdg about being 'in your face' about the objects that have been jumped, I don't know for sure that this is the place to be doing it. If BASE jumpers wanna be no-site-naming Nazis about it they will. That's the way it is. Don't like it? Tough tittie. Maybe we ought to leave this site for the newbies who know fuckall about BASE - its ethics, unspoken policies and customs (but think they do) - and the rest of us should go back over to Blinc. That or just cease the whole internet thing altogether. In fact, I think I will. Shit.. we're gonna have to come up with a new sport. cya Gardner
