wmw999 2,114 #1 January 2, 2013 I just voted for Gary Connery for the Epic TV award. It was a tough choice in some ways between Felix Baumgartner and him, but, well, one had the support of the Redbull empire, and the other had a cadre of people opening cardboard boxes... Wendy P.There is nothing more dangerous than breaking a basic safety rule and getting away with it. It removes fear of the consequences and builds false confidence.

regulator 0 #6 January 2, 2013 So no love for team 3,4 or 5? Only the most publicized team I see. HOW ABOUT ALL OF THE MILITARY instead? Men on the teams (a vast majority) dont like publicity. They try to remain in the shadows. They are trained to remain enigmatic and keeping to the code. I am ex military and I have multiple family members in various forms of OPSEC. While they appreciate your vote...it is not necessary. They know the job they are doing and dont need any public commendations for it. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

jtval 0 #8 January 3, 2013 You guys are all funny...and wrong. Funny because Wendy had an obvious SKYDIVING badass in mind. Then, to see everyone try to outdo eachother, is cute, no matter how misguided. I am the biggest bad ass of the year. Why? because this year is only two days old and I got to do some fun shit. Give it a few days. I'm sure I'll be dethroned.My photos My Videos Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
