  1. I love the beginning of The Matrix (first one). From memory: Lieutenant: "I think our boys can handle one little girl. They're bringing her down now." Agent Smith: "No Lieutenant, your men are already dead." --Art Sky-div'ing (ski'div'ing) n.

  2. From KDKA Damn, I know Terry. I jumped with him a few times. He was on my first "demo" jump. We took off from Latrobe airport and jumped into a jumper's girlfriend's farm. I had to pack at the airport and broke a rubber band. I didn't have any, but Terry did and he gave me one. A helluva nice guy. Shit. --Art Sky-div'ing (ski'div'ing) n.

  3. Thanks for relaying this info. If anyone knows the names of the people involved, I'd like to know. I live in Johnstown but never skydived at Bouquet. I may know some people that jump there. My heart-felt condolences to their family and loved-ones. --Art Sky-div'ing (ski'div'ing) n.

  4. For as long as I can remember, our family has always had one cat around. Now that I'm living on my own, I have a cat that was "given" to me by my sister (there's a story there). My cat: Just a few years old. Maybe 6-7 now. When my sister had her she was indoor/outdoor. She was struck by a car and lived but her hind legs are little messed up (it's cute watching her run). Now that I have her, she is strictly indoor. My house sits too close to the road out front and there are too many dead cats on the road in the neighborhood (not littered with them, just the odd dead cat on the road here or there every 3-4 months). She's curious about the outside (sits on window seal, etc) but does not beg to go outside. She's happy being inside. My parents cat: Totally different personality. He is an indoor/outdoor cat. If he wants outside he'll sit by the door. If no one comes, he will meow and meow and demandingly meow. He will bug the crap out of you untill he gets let outside. He doesn't take no for answer. He is so bad (but in this way good) that he doesn't use the litter box. He will go outside (even in the middle of winter) to do his thing. It is not unusual for him to go outside in the winter and then want back in litterally two minutes later. My only point with this post is to say that in my experience it is possible to convert an indoor/outdoor cat to indoor only, but there are some cats that will be very unhappy (and let you know it) if you make them stay indoors. It depends on the cat. --Art Sky-div'ing (ski'div'ing) n.

  5. To diverdriver and billvon: I stand corrected! But, in MS Flight Sim I don't look out the window to avoid other planes; I look out to find one to fly into! I'm glad you guys are here. Is what that guy did a huge no-no and he needs his ass chewed out, or fined, or license revoked, or whatever? --Art Sky-div'ing (ski'div'ing) n.

  6. I've only played with my flight simulator so I'm no real pilot but... I doubt it was there the entire flight (i.e., for take-off and landing). You don't need to look out the windshield to keep the plane flying straight and level. People fly at night all the time and looking out the windshield is pretty useless. And actually, he may have been doing it to increase safetly if he was flying directly into the sun (to avoid glare so he can see his instruments). Ok, probably not something you want to do all the time. I'm sure he could easily see over and reach around his son to see and get at what he needed. I'm sure he doesn't want to kill himself or his son. Not a big deal in my opinion. --Art Sky-div'ing (ski'div'ing) n.

  16. Just for shits and giggles I tried the number on google with my area code (814). It turned up what looks like at least two different places for the phone number, but check out what http://www.phonenumber.com/ returned: Jennifer Boylan --Art Sky-div'ing (ski'div'ing) n.

  18. New Sex Study It has been determined that the most used sexual position for married couples is the doggie position............. He sits up and begs while........ She rolls over and plays dead My wife My wife seems to be losing her sense of humour for no apparent reason. Why, just the other day she got mad when she announced that she was going to the beauty parlour. I asked, "Are you going in for an estimate, or are you going to get the work done?" How are your kids doing Four men went golfing one day. Three of them headed to the first tee and the fourth went into the clubhouse to take care of the bill The three men started talking, bragging about their sons. The first man told the others, "My son is a homebuilder and he is so successful that he gave a friend a new home for free." The second man said, "My son was a car salesman and now he owns a multi-line dealership. He's so successful that he gave a friend a new Mercedes, fully loaded." The third man, not wanting to be outdone, bragged, "My son is a stockbroker and he's doing so well that he gave his friend an entire stock portfolio." The fourth man joined them on the tee after a few minutes of taking care of business. The first man mentioned, "We are just talking about our sons. How is yours doing?" The fourth man replied, "Well, my son is gay and dances in a gay bar. I'm not totally thrilled about the dancing job, but he must be doing good. His last three boyfriends gave him a house, a brand new Mercedes, and a stock portfolio." The boss My boss was complaining in our staff meeting the other day that he wasn't getting any respect. Later that morning he went to a local sign shop and bought a small sign that read, "I'm the Boss". He then taped it to his office door. Later that day when he returned from lunch, he found that someone had taped a note to the sign that said, "Your wife called. She wants her sign back!" A woman returns home from a doctor's visit and excitedly says to her husband "The doctor told me I have the breasts of a 20 year old!" "Oh yea", her husband says, "what did he say about your 60 year old ass?" "We didn't talk about you." she replies.... Limo falls off lift at Caddy dealer --Art Sky-div'ing (ski'div'ing) n.

  20. That would be cool if they did that for movies just released for DVD. You'd have a better chance at getting to see the movie soon after it was released instead of having to wait another month. I think it would have to be cheap though like you said. A few bucks maybe would work. But, if they made them like almost 10 bucks or more, I think that would fail. --Art Sky-div'ing (ski'div'ing) n.
