  1. Yes, but I'll bet that little altercation was something kids like that see so often they're immune to it. For instance, that little girl wanted to show her mom something just as if she were in the kitchen doing the dishes? When her mom says, "not at this point in time" I thought I'd fall out of the chair. Sorry, I'm sensitive to the human condition and all that, but that video makes me laugh. How 'bout when the guy with the camera says "walkin' the dog" !
  2. Yea, and with the way some "would-be-swoopers" come through the blades, I've even seen more than ten knocked down
  3. ...unless you're a glutton for punishment! This vid is an oldy, but a friend sent it to me the other day so I guess it's making another round. It's really sad for these kids, but still makes you laugh your ass off. http://www.hiperusa.com/ass_whuppin.wmv
  4. Nope, don't think that was it, details at 11, stay tuned for breaking headlines
  5. Shrek, I can't believe you weren't at the farm this weekend. I brought new control lines for your canopy and everything! What's up?
  6. He didn't even know what a Swastika symbolized; they were jailhouse done, and in the second video he has them covered up in Hollywood, compliments of Tom Arnold.
  7. As one who has done this, I would not suggest it for 55 jumps. It is a complex ordeal, distracting, with lots of elements to it. Not to mention the hightened emotions involved. Off the top of my head I'd say the task is better left to those with a minimum of a thousand jumps or so.
  8. Not one person has a comment about the "Dancin' Outlaw"? Don't watch the second video, about Jesco going to Hollywood, unless you're already hooked and part of the cult movement, or you just won't get it.

    New Study

    A study conducted by UCLA's Department of Psychiatry has revealed that the kind of face a woman finds attractive on a man can differ depending on where she is in her menstrual cycle. For example: If she is ovulating, she is attracted to men with rugged and masculine features. However, if she is menstruating, or menopausal, she tends to prefer a man with scissors lodged in his temple and a bat jammed up his ass while he is on fire. Further studies in this area have been cancelled.
  10. For some reason I was remembering the TV documentary of about 15 yrs. ago about Jessco White in West Virginia. That has to be one of the most outrageous true stories I've ever watched. I used to laugh for hours watching the video. Anyway, I did a search and found this website that has both of his videos available for viewing online. If you don't know about Jessco/Jessie/Elvis you're in for a treat. If you've seen these before it's worth another look... http://www.juliescoggins.com/dancing_outlaw_page.htm
  11. Way back in the 70's, this friend of mine was known by all his jumper friends as "Drippy Dick" Then he grew up and became a physician, so he'll correct you very abruptly if you refer to him that way! EXCUUUUUSE ME, Dr. Dick.
  12. A man was washed up on a beach after a terrible shipwreck. Only a sheep and a sheepdog were washed up with him. After looking around, he realized that they were stranded on a deserted island. After being there a while, he got into the habit of taking his two animal companions to the beach every evening to watch the sun set. One particular evening, the sky was a fiery red with beautiful cirrus clouds, the breeze was warm and gentle - a perfect night for romance. As they sat there, the sheep started looking better and better to the lonely man. Soon, he leaned over to the sheep and put his arm around it. But the sheepdog, ever protective of the sheep, growled fiercely until the man took his arm from around the sheep. After that, the three of them continued to enjoy the sunsets together, but there was no more cuddling. A few weeks passed by and, lo and behold, there was another shipwreck. The only survivor was Hilary Clinton. That evening, the man introduced Hilary to the evening beach ritual. It was another beautiful evening - red sky, cirrus clouds, a warm and gentle breeze - perfect for a night of romance. Pretty soon, the man started to get "those feelings" again. He fought the urges as long as he could, but he finally gave in and leaned over to Hilary, cautiously, and whispered in her ear, "Would you mind taking the dog for a walk?"
  13. Hold it, the new favorite is "Bat Day" I'm literally picking myself up off the floor I'm laughing so hard!
  14. Newsflash... Listen to the one called "Condoms" This guy's a riot!
  15. Click on "VIDEOS" from this guy's home page. Talk about a New Yorker that'll tell ya how he really feels! Careful with the speaker volume if you're at work... http://www.thekidfrombrooklyn.com/ Check out the "Starbucks" video and "Go F...Yourself"
  16. Now THAT'S funny! (get your ass to THA for April 1st)
  17. I always knew there was something rather "mysterious" about Fred... http://www.cbsnews.com/stories/2005/12/19/ap/strange/mainD8EJJMQO6.shtml
  18. And I do mean "hole". Now this is what I call an elaborate operation... http://www.hiperusa.com/TheTennesseePotCave.pdf
  19. The only problem will be that the Kevlar lines will wear out very quickly. The flex fatigue factor of that fiber is not really suitable for suspension lines on a main. At around a hundred jumps they'll look pretty bad (mileage may vary, of course).
  20. The Super Raven canopy is a different airfoil than the original Raven. The addition of the v-tapes is not their only difference. As to what the tapes do, they form a "V" at the line attachments, running up the rib to the upper surface, so that the load is distributed more evenly. The bikini slider was a recommeded change to the original Ravens to speed up the openings to be more consistent with use as a reserve. As that original Harris f-111 fabric aged, the openings of canopies became very slow.
  21. First, we don't use a "coating" for UV. I've tried to explain this to you before, but I could tell you weren't really paying attention. Our black line does NOT have a coating. It is IMPREGNATED with a uv resistance. Big difference. Coatings can and do come off. Why don't you take a few minutes this weekend to look at a Nitro lineset, you can feel how soft it is, unlike the sticky feel from a coating. So you may be correct in saying you first used a uv coating, but I can assure you that our lines were the first HMA to be produced to provide uv protection.
  22. Somehow, when we have been using Technora/HMA on the Nitro for almost 10 years, I find it kind of funny that Mark acts like he's done all the r&d on making linesets for mains out of these fibers. Hey Mel, you tell the guy you'll help him any way you can, then in your next breath tell him you won't help him. That's funny too. Don't get your feathers ruffled, I'm just kiddin with 'ya
  23. Here is a little test that will help you decide. The answer can be found by posing the following question. You're walking down a deserted street with your wife and two small children. Suddenly, an Islamic Terrorist with a huge knife comes around the corner, locks eyes with you, screams obscenities, praises Allah, raises the knife, and charges at you. You are carrying a Glock cal .40, and you are an expert shot. You have mere seconds before he reaches you and your family. What do you do? ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Democrat's Answer: Well, that's not enough information to answer the question! Does the man look poor? Or oppressed? Have I ever done anything to him that would inspire him to attack? Could we run away? What does my wife think? What about the kids? Could I possibly swing the gun like a club and knock the knife out of his hand? What does the law say about this situation? Does the Glock have appropriate safety built into it? Why am I carrying a loaded gun anyway, and what kind of message does this send to society and to my children? Is it possible he'd be happy with just killing me? Does he definitely want to kill me, or would he be content just to wound me? If I were to grab his knees and hold on, could my family get away while he was stabbing me? Should I call 9-1-1? Why is this street so deserted? We need to raise taxes, have a paint and weed day and make this happier, healthier street that would discourage such behavior. This is all so confusing! I need to debate this with some friends for few days and try to come to a consensus. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Republican's Answer: BANG! ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Southern Republican's Answer: BANG! BANG! BANG! BANG! BANG! BANG! BANG! BANG! BANG! click .... (sounds of reloading). BANG! BANG! BANG! BANG! BANG! BANG! BANG! BANG! BANG! click. Daughter: "Nice grouping, Daddy! Were those the Winchester Silver Tips or Hollow Points? Son: "Git-r-Dun, Pop! Can I shoot the next one?!" Wife: "You ain't taking that to the Taxidermist

    PI Day

    TODAY IS 3-14 . . . OR AS SOME MATHEMATICIANS LIKE TO CALL IT, PI DAY Anyone who cannot cope with mathematics is not fully human. At best he is a tolerable subhuman who has learned to wear shoes, bathe, and not make messes in the house. --Robert A. Heinlein Arithmetic is where numbers fly like pigeons in and out of your head. --Carl Sandburg Music is the pleasure the human mind experiences from counting without being aware that it is counting. --Gottfried Leibniz Pure mathematics is, in its way, the poetry of logical ideas. --Albert Einstein ACCORDING TO MATHEMATICIANS, THE BILLIONTH DIGIT OF PI IS 9
