That explains so much. How long has it been since the last?

I am surprised they're showing Clinton to be that far to the fiscal right. Would be interesting to know what policies it is based on.

 

Not as surprised that Trump is closer to the centre, after all a large part of his campaign was built on promises of massive public spending, but then what he says and what he does are always different, and oftentimes what he says and what he says next are so wildly different it's a bit of a fools errand to try and pin him down on anything. Would have been more interesting to have GWB up there.

Agreed - The altitude in authoritarian makes sense though - Should be Narcissism.

Probably 50+ years.  I was laying in bed thinking last night that next year it will be 40 years since I made my first jump.  40 frickin' years! Damn I'm old.

Your parents spank?

They called them "Swats" and there was a policy as to how many for what offence.

We had a gym teacher.  Gary G Gabram.  He had a paddle with GGG carved into it.  It left a nice monogram on your ass cheeks.

You don't appreciate a lot of stuff in school until you get older. Little things like being spanked every day by a middle-aged woman: Stuff you pay good money for in later life.

Wow Jerry.  Pretty impressive run.  I had a myocardial infarction at 51.  I doubt I'll see anywhere near 80.

Hi airdvr,

Never give up.

Two years ago tomorrow, I had a triple bypass.  Then, later that year ( June ), my cardiologist said that I had a 'great heart.'

I'm not doing any backflips out in the yard, but I'm doing OK.

Just hope live long enough to piss on Trump's grave one day.

Hi airdvr,

Yes.  About 2 1/2 yrs ago, I lost 4 friends within a 4-month period.  I had known each of them for over 50 yrs.

Here I am -- no real surprise. Yeah, some of the questions were stupid, but they make it clear that's deliberate to see how extremely you fit into a quadrant.
