  1. I can sympathize; A few years ago on the first snow ski day of the season, I hit a piece of wood in the snow on the edge of a slope which launched me into the trees. I saw the trees coming so I used my arms to protect my head, and used my ribcage to absorb the impact of landing on a fallen log.

    Damn that sucked; For several weeks it hurt to breathe, hurt to roll over in bed, and of course this all happened about 10 days before I moved from the South side of town to the North side. And I missed the first month of skiing.>:(

    I seen on the Today show this morn. that Jeb is going to try to sue the Empire State Building for 2 million because the security guards could have killed him when they grabbed him and cuffed him to the railing.



    It is a counter-suit because the assholes are suing him for $12M.

    The Daily News reports the man was Moishe Kanovsky, who did "odds-and-ends work" for one of two law firms that shared a suite. One worker told the News, "He was interviewing a client. He just got up, opened the window and jumped," (a police source says that Kanovsky moved from the room with a client to another one and jumped). According to the Post, an employee at the other law firm said, "Everyone was passing out once they looked at it."



    That paragraph reminds me of the movie "The Hudsucker Proxy".

    JT, I don't see the safety fence that's installed below that ledge/patio area? In addition to clearing that ledge, there is also a 12' safety net around the perimeter of the widest portion of the building. Or at least was there 18 months ago when we shot some footage there.



    So how did this guy clear the safety net?

    Damn it.! I can not figure this movie out for the life of me. I truly have zero understanding of this movie and it is really bugging me as i think it could br brilliant.

    Has anyone seen this?



    Is it any stranger than "Mulholland Drive"?
    I had to watch that one three times before I got a grasp on what was happening.:D

    Edited to add: Saw this interesting news item about the director today:
    http://torrentfreak.com/director-won%e2%80%99t-think-less-of-you-for-downloading-on-bittorrent-080116/

    Add'l edit: Yes, it looks strange; Trailer here:

    If, after opening the Christmas presents, your whole family goes down to the range to try them out, you might be a redneck!

    Don't get me wrong I defintly admire Jeb... but this is a pretty funny quote...

    " If you DO NOT let me go... I will fall and die....":S



    Not familiar with the structure; Could it be that he needed a good launch to clear a setback directly below him? I just tried googling for "Empire State Building" to see what I could find, and guess what came up at the top of the results, (see attached).:D

  9. He seems to share the same view his place in the world as Dubya. But at least he can speak with coherent English syntax. Must be nice to know with absolute certainty that you are right.

  11. Fun thing to do:
    Find someone who has a kid in one of those schools with an idiotic "zero tolerance" policy about anything shaped like a gun. Put something cooked with one of those molds into the kids lunchbox, and see if they try to penalize him.

    that's more likely than my previous post. I didin't understand why Jeb would call him a "sympathetic" cop.

    I guess if he was pleading about being ripped off the bldg cutting the rig away makes sense. but what happened to the rig? Did they drop it?



    Would have been an interesting legal situation if they cut it off of him, then it killed a pedestrian below.

    Note to self: When jumping ESB:
    - Slather self from head to toe with petroleum jelly to prevent guards getting a grip.
    - Bring stun gun to break guards grips.
    - Bring friend to create a diversion by pretending to attempt BASE jump moments before I launch.

    It isn't the American people; It is the power-mongers in charge who must constantly bleat about external enemies in an effort to portray themselves as the solution, else the people will start to realize they are really the problem.



    Those two statements seem to contradict eachther....



    "they" == power-mongers, not the people

    The micro-DVI out is single-link only, meaning it can drive a 24-inch monitor, not a 30-inch. There's no DisplayLink converter / adapter yet.

    Anyone ordering? :P



    Lemme get this straight: You expect a computer which was designed for the express purpose of portability to have a video system with dual link output???:S Even on the highend desktops, that is an option!

  17. Yes, but this year Kirlin is moving it to a certain empty lot in the SW corner of Boulder, CO. He is requesting participants be as loud and obnoxious as possible.;)

  18. Sometimes skydiving skills can work against you in real life;
    Example, when you go out of control, then instinctively go into a hard arch to regain stability; Not a good idea when slalom water-skiing; Trust me.:S

  19. I spent the last half of the 80's at Purdue University, which at the time was carrying the Canadian "Much Music" channel instead of MTV. As well as being more liberal in the videos they showed, they also ran French-Canadian videos including a luscious little honey named "Mitsou". Warning, these border into the NSFW category:

  23. I knew a girl who was in college to be an Occupational Therapist, and spent her summer breaks working as a nursing assistant in the local hospital. One of the duties she pulled one summer was to assist with colonoscopies. One day she walked into the room to see the patient she would be assisting was an old highschool classmate. The guy was so embarrassed she felt sorry for him. [:/]

    You know the toughest part of studying for a colonoscopy test is all the cramming...Ooops! Sorry, poor choice of words.[:/]

    The pilot lay prone in the cockpit of Northrup's XP-79B jet fighter and it was designed to ram enemy aircraft.

    The XP-79B only flew once, but spun in, killing its test pilot.
    Fortunately, Northrup was able to apply some of the lessons learned - about flying wings and Heliarc welding - the modern B-2 stealth bomber.



    I've always thought it would be a blast to deliberately ram other a/c; Sort of like an airborne demolition derby!B|
