  1. The Sherlock Holmes audiobook is 1.83 gig. Just a hair under 65 hours. This will get me through an entire summer of drives to the airport and back.
  2. I confess I don't always understand tv or movie stars who admit to supporting Trump, but I find the instant roar to fire them really disturbing. Now it's someone on a show called, I think, 'Our Block.' She mentioned once in a tweet that she supported Trump so now people are demanding that she has to go. What kind of mentality is this?
  3. Mine's downloading now. While I was getting it I noticed a new book "Sherlock Holmes" read by Stephen Fry but it almost sounds like a joke. It's 62 hours and 54 minutes. You can pay eighty two dollars or one credit. I went with the single credit. It's like Robert Klein's "Every Record Ever Recorded" done in the style of those record collection ads that were so thick at the time. "That's right, every sound recording ever created, delivered by dump truck and left in your yard."
  4. A dealer friend explained to me that manufacturers have slots. They figure so much time to build rigs and allocate those amounts. Retailers can buy slots for a premium and get their rigs quicker, so you're not waiting for your rig to be finished, but to be started.
  5. If they can't get you with shipping and handling there's always the fees.
  6. I've always gotten down into the brakes to bring the leading edge up and lessen the chances of it being rolled under by a gust.
  7. Damn. And it really makes photos of my annual jumps into the Vinton County High School football home game from a 172 look pretty meager. Bob
  8. They've been trying to fire Mueller since season 1, then he and Sculley save the world and he keeps his badge.
  9. Well, it's still less than I thought, but a lot more than that ludicrous $20k. And you have to add their premium of 22.5%. Sold for $138,798.63. https://www.rrauction.com/PastAuctionItem/3389941
  10. Thanks, that sounds promising. And I'm sure that as word gets out people will be adapting them for under canopy.
  11. Gun Control is not leaving your pistol in a public bathroom. https://www.npr.org/sections/thetwo-way/2018/04/12/601871820/stoneman-douglas-teacher-is-arrested-after-leaving-gun-in-bathroom-stall edit: When I first read that I thought they were saying he left it in one of the school's bathrooms and when they mentioned the homeless drunk guy I thought "damn, what kind of security do they have?"
  12. I just found the description of it. Interesting, made in 1972. I'm going to try to track down a copy.
  13. The original Dark Shadows or that mess with Depp? Some of the old ones are good. I think the movie Fathom has some of the best skydiving scenes of any movie.
  14. I do not know the laws of Missouri. In Oregon, you can be convicted of raping your own wife. You can be married for xx yrs; and, if you rape her just once, it is an illegal act. Jerry Baumchen Ok, but I don't see what that has to do with what I posted. She told about her horrific evening and how much of a nightmare it was. And it never got better, no matter how many times she went to his house to have sex with him.
  15. I suspect this will make me a sexist monster but there's a big part of this I just don't understand. She talks about how every time she'd sneak back into his house when his wife was away he behaved in ways she didn't like. "The woman testified that she had several additional sexual encounters with Greitens, including one in June 2015 when "he slapped me across my face" after she acknowledged having slept with her husband. She said she didn't think Greitens was trying to hurt her, but rather "I felt like he was trying to claim me."

  16. With the exception of Paul Ryan who still cannot find his spine. Anyone think Ryan will make a run for POTUS in '20? Jerry Baumchen On that subject, we're what, maybe two years or even less from the next campaign starting up. Have the Democrats mentioned ANYONE yet? Well, anyone else.
  17. People actually bought into the concept of free news. Why subscribe to a newspaper, print or online, when this other person has it on their site for free with just a few ads? People never realized or cared that the free news was just copied from the people who had paid to have it gathered. And they only needed a few ads, since if you don't have to pay to produce your product it's pretty easy to turn a profit. But it's taking its toll, and the news industry is hurting. Subscribing to news services that have bureaus all over the world and paying your own people to gather news is expensive and they're cutting back and even going under. So what does Mister Free News do to fill in the spaces between the ads? No problem, just accept stuff from people with an agenda. Democrats provide stories about Republicans, Republicans about Democrats. the union of chicken inspectors send stories about the danger of poorly inspected chickens due to poorly paid inspectors and chicken producers send stories about how chicken has never been so safe. A company invents a new cream for zits and suddenly we see stories about the heartbreak of acne and what can anyone do to help? There will be plenty of free news. Is it real news? The guy flogging it to sell ad space doesn't care and we, the consumers, have no choice in it by this time. I think we're deeply screwed on this one.
  18. I have several friends who are very much opposed to legalization. There's no way they'll be able to continue making a good living if it is.
  19. FIFY. I'm so used to seeing Mystery Science Theater that I couldn't figure out what you were referring to. It took three or four rereads before my mind quit filling in with a correction. It's sort of like "Invasion of The The Eye Creatures."
  20. The story says "It’s not known how the sex toy became lodged inside him but the paramedics were quick to offer help." It's not known? How many ways are there to get a dildo shoved up your ass?
  21. top docker, I have to look the years up but I think this would match. Do you remember a guy named Gargoyle? I think he jumped alone a lot. And then there was Vahid "Victor from Pittsburgh" Kashani, the terror of fathers with daughters everywhere.
  22. I was there in '88, they were still talking about her. Great DZ! I managed a few trips there, great place to jump and the jumpers were tons of fun. top I loved watching the Amish sitting there in their traditional clothes, eating cheese curls and watching us jump.
  23. No, you came in with a lazy style of thinking... You're retarded. There. See how easy it is to debunk you? Something I think would help, it did for me, is that when you reach a point where you honestly can't tell if the person is trolling you or if they really just can't get it, then just don't respond to them any more. And I'm not talking with agreeing or not, disagreeing is fine, that's the whole point, but if someone just can't seem to grasp a concept no matter how well you define it even to the point that you're not sure they aren't pulling your leg then you're not going to accomplish anything good by trying.
  24. Or the sniper is thinking "dammit, this thing is still shooting low and to the left.
