  1. Breath Relax Enjoy. I really enjoy coaching. We're just there to observe, make suggestions and have fun! L.A.S.T. #24 Co-Founder Biscuit Brothers Freefly Team Electric Toaster #3 Co-Founder Team Non Sequitor Co-Founder Team Happy Sock
  2. The first step in comma recovery is admitting you have a problem. A sudden and unexplained increase in the use of commas oftens leads to experimentation in other forms of punctuation. This usually fades by the early to late twenties. However, and I don't wish to alarm you, continued and excessive use of one form of punctuation can start you down a path that could easily render you powerless over your compulsive use of punctuation. I'm afraid without competent and experience grammatical help you could find yourself consumed in a nightmare of apostrophes and hyphens. Some people have even found themselves, without even realizing, that they have become addicted to palindromes and anagrams. I do believe there are at least two excellent facilities in the Hill Country that address this problem. Good Luck Kev L.A.S.T. #24 Co-Founder Biscuit Brothers Freefly Team Electric Toaster #3 Co-Founder Team Non Sequitor Co-Founder Team Happy Sock
  3. You're an Aramco brat right? I lived in Dhahran and Abqaiq in the early 80's. My Dad designed the pipeline in the Ghawar field. My parents were there when terroists took over the Grand Mosque in Mecca. What the Saudi Royal family did to the Shia in the Eastern province is little known. It is estimated they murdered about 5,000 people in the al Hasa region. Saudi Arabia, the Gulf States, Kuwait, Syria...these aren't countries, they are family businesses.

  4. I was fun jumping at Lake Wales in July this year. I was treated very well and was patiently given directions to the DZ twice by an overworked DZ manager. I got the impression they were still trying to rebuild after the storm and some other issues. I had the longest swoop of my life there. I have never jumped where there seemed to be less than no wind. Hope to go back and jump all over FLA soon...but not in July. L.A.S.T. #24 Co-Founder Biscuit Brothers Freefly Team Electric Toaster #3 Co-Founder Team Non Sequitor Co-Founder Team Happy Sock
  5. **shudders** Man, I bet... (ever seen best in show?) p.s. my keyboard is torn apart so sorry for no punctuation etc I have to paste in every space and it really sucks I have personally experienced "Best in Show" and "Waiting for Guffman". They are gentler, funnier representations of the real thing. Show business is my life.

  7. I've been managing an auditorium for 20 years, these pageants are bread and butter for buildings like us. This is big business. I mean big. If you want to really see it when it gets ugly check out the state and national pageants. These are sold as franchises. Girls are groomed from a very young age to win these things. If you think it's weird from the outside, you should see it backstage.

  8. Just promise me that that point will be covered when they register and not after another load lands off. I think everyone got lucky last year, and there is no reason to tempt fate. Did somebody land off last year?? L.A.S.T. #24 Co-Founder Biscuit Brothers Freefly Team Electric Toaster #3 Co-Founder Team Non Sequitor Co-Founder Team Happy Sock

  12. Make a few diagonal cuts on the skin side, slather it in olive oil ,kosher salt and black pepper. Then make a nice herb mayonaise. Grill it over alderwood and serve with some nice veggies and a reeally good dry white wine. As for me..... I'm having canned ravioli tonite (again).

  15. One needs only to look here to find the answers..... Book of Armaments (Chapter 2, verses 9-21), And Saint Attila raised the hand grenade up on high, saying, "O Lord, bless this, Thy hand grenade, that with it, Thou mayest blow Thine enemies to tiny bits... in Thy mercy." And the Lord did grin, and the people did feast upon the lambs and sloths and carp and anchovies and orangutans and breakfast cereals, and fruit bats and large chu... [Whereupon the friar is urged, "skip ahead a bit, brother"]... And the Lord spake, saying, "First shalt thou take out the Holy Pin. Then, shalt thou count to three. No more, no less. Three shall be the number thou shalt count, and the number of the counting shall be three. Four shalt thou not count, neither count thou two, excepting that thou then proceed to three. Five is right out. Once the number three, being the third number, be reached, then lobbest thou thy Holy Hand Grenade of Antioch towards thy foe, who, being naughty in My sight, shall snuff it." Amen. L.A.S.T. #24 Co-Founder Biscuit Brothers Freefly Team Electric Toaster #3 Co-Founder Team Non Sequitor Co-Founder Team Happy Sock
  16. I flew years ago when I was really a kid. I soloed when I was 17, in a 152 Aerobat After 8 or 9 hours of instruction, my instructor had me taxi up to the service building, shutdown. He said he needed to go to the restroom. He came back opened the right door and said, "ok go ahead and do 3 touch and go's" I have never been so terrified in my life. Aside from bouncing a lot on the first landing I think I did OK. Now I spend all my $$ jumping out of planes. It less stressful.

  18. I didn't realize Persians could not be muslim..... Iranians are not ethnic Arabs. It is possible to find people of both ethnicities, both Arabic and Iranian, who are not Muslims. I do believe the majority of Muslims are not ethnic Arabs, i.e. people from the Arabian Penninsula, Syria, Jordan, Palestine, Lebanon and Iraq. Also, there is a fairly large contingent of Christians and Druze living in the region in question. There was for centuries a substantial Jewish community in Iraq and Iran and elswhere in the Muslim world.

  19. One of my all time favorites. A trivia note...Bogart was the only American in the cast. Most of the actors had fled Europe only a few years, months, weeks, before. L.A.S.T. #24 Co-Founder Biscuit Brothers Freefly Team Electric Toaster #3 Co-Founder Team Non Sequitor Co-Founder Team Happy Sock
  20. One of my very favorites was a 1979 canary yellow Cadillac Coupe de Ville. It weighed about 4,500lbs had a 425 , V8 ( the little Cadillac motor) and got maaaybe 8 mpg everywhere, even sitting in the driveway. Whatta car.

  21. My God man, how long has it been?? Since the last time I was hot? About 10 minutes. Since the last time I was in trouble with the cops? Since I was a teenager. Since the last time I had the Miami basketball team chasing after me? I don't like to talk about it. Wow! ...the bats are busy in there today.
