Rented that last year, and thought it was one of the few movies in the last few years with "stars" in it that made me happy I'd spent the money and taken the time to watch it.

SWEET!

I totally disagree with that statement. You're so full of shit! Just practicing... Hopefully I'll see you Saturday! Doctor I ain't gonna die, Just write me an alibi! ---- Lemmy/Slash

Gently tie a helium balloon to their tail. They use their tails for balance, so they usually just freeze in place and yowl when their tail is stuck straight up. Non-violent, non-animal abusing fun for the whole family. Doctor I ain't gonna die, Just write me an alibi! ---- Lemmy/Slash

Well, these lists are typically just a starting point for long (usually drunken) arguments, but any list that has four Metallica albums and one Hendrix album is probably full of shit, I don't need to even read the whole thing. And don't even get me started about Celine Dion... Doctor I ain't gonna die, Just write me an alibi! ---- Lemmy/Slash

I've seen Bonnie in concert twice, and she is incredible. And since you're going into country and bluegrass, let's not forget Glen Campbell, Roy Clark, and Tony Rice from the David Grisman Quintet...awesome players all.

WTF, here's my standards: Eddie Van Halen Joe Satriani Steve Vai Al DiMeola John McLaughlin Steve Morse John Petrucci Clapton Angus (and don't forget Malcolm) Young And some I can't believe didn't get mentioned yet (probably because their careers have been quiet for a while): Pat Travers Michael Schenker Eric Johnson and of course...DIMEBAG FOREVER!!

I now have a disturbing image in my mind, centered around the phrase "active electronics"... When someone calls and I'm in the music room, my wife usually tells them "He's in playing with his bitches, I'll get him for you"... Doctor I ain't gonna die, Just write me an alibi! ---- Lemmy/Slash

Interesting reading some of these responses. Truth is, I've ridden the plane down with students 5 times, and not a one of them actually "freaked out", they were just too scared or overloaded to go. I won't attempt to force someone out the door, I love this sport more than I can express, and I don't want to cheapen someone's first experience of it by making them do something they're not physically and mentally prepared for. It truly sucks to ride the plan down after those, mainly because they tend to feel like shit about it. But I think we need to be very careful as representatives of the sport to make sure we do the best job we can of prepping people, and making sure they walk away from the whole tandem experience going "That was awesome, I can't wait to go again!" rather than "Holy shit, that was scary, never again!" I think there are many reasons why we're losing skydivers nowadays, but one of the big ones is people feeling like they're just along for the ride. It takes a much greater physical and emotional effort on the TI's part to help some of these people experience a skydive in a positive way, but I think it pays off for the sport in the long run. Or, I may just be a lazy old fat guy who doesn't like to be rushed anymore... Mike Doctor I ain't gonna die, Just write me an alibi! ---- Lemmy/Slash

I've had Floyd's on 5 different guitars now, and I can't say I've ever had them go out of tune once the nut's locked down (aside from string stretch on new ones). I have done the old lube with graphite trick on Les Pauls and Strats with standard nuts, but the Floyd's never let me down. (To the point where I seldom play the ones that don't have 'em, it seriously makes me wonder how punk and hardcore players can hammer the crap out of their strings and stay in tune.)

That's a gorgeous axe, you're going to be crazed by the time it's ready to deliver.

Both, of course. Oh wait, typo, that should have been an "e" instead of an "o"... Doctor I ain't gonna die, Just write me an alibi! ---- Lemmy/Slash

If you can't even spell my name right, bite me Sanjay! And Raff is down to one a day, while Brad has switched to sushi grade tuna, the cats don't seem as attracted (but the gerbils are going nuts). But to answer seriously, I have jumped and worked at both DZs, and I can offer a few reasons why there ain't a lot of cross-pollenization: - Unless things have changed, after sunset at SMB, everyone goes home, whereas the fun's just starting at ACSI. This seems to give us more time to get to know each other, trade stories, and give each other shit...all vital parts of skydiver bonding. - In a lot of cases, for people living anywhere north of Morgan Hill, it's just too freakin' far (which for the record, is the same reason I'm not a Byron regular). After you get past the "I've-gotta-jump-or-my-life-is-empty" phase (and you will), distance and time are major considerations. - Like Linda, er, Gork, er, Sanjay said, I only know a few people at SMB due to turnaround. Sunset, Dail, Jeff, JR, Asila, Laura, and Greg and Patti are all old friends, but I don't even know a lot of the new folks. So, I don't think there's a feud, but if you're ever around Hollister (or I get to SMB), look around for an old, bald, fat guy, and I'll buy you a beer and tell you a few enlightening stories as to why there may be some friction between certain persons involved in the DZs. And for the record, some of my best friends are Indian. That is all. Mike Doctor I ain't gonna die, Just write me an alibi! ---- Lemmy/Slash

Way back in the day, before email, I was printing up a set of 50 copies of meeting minutes I had to distribute. Fortunately, I checked the third copy, and hit "cancel"...seems I was telling people we were distributing new hard dicks to all our customers. Man, I'd have given Krisanne a case for catching that one. Doctor I ain't gonna die, Just write me an alibi! ---- Lemmy/Slash

Well I'm not in it, but it looks pretty good anyway. Are your nose hairs still that long? There are products you can use to fix that... Doctor I ain't gonna die, Just write me an alibi! ---- Lemmy/Slash

Well, all the WB cartoons were awesome (Bugs, Elmer, Daffy, and especially the Roadrunner/Coyote, Marvin and K9, and Speedy Gonzales. But for sheer "OMFG, this is so cheesy and crappy, and I used to LOVE this" shame, you just can't beat Speed Racer.

Are you actually post-whoring from the meeting? You get extra points for that... Doctor I ain't gonna die, Just write me an alibi! ---- Lemmy/Slash

Shit, you should have just wrapped it with duct tape and kept jumping! What a pussy! Seriously, don't try to push it too hard...you're no spring chicken anymore, whatever the fuck that is...give it time to heal right, unlike every other skydiver on the planet...

One of the most gratifying things about being around Cliff was when he would continuously argue with you...you knew he at least respected your opinion or intelligence enough to keep hacking at you about something. Doctor I ain't gonna die, Just write me an alibi! ---- Lemmy/Slash

Holy shit. Haven't seen a lot of Cliff since he went back to school, but got a chance to catch up with him at Thanksgiving. Blue Skies, my friend...it was great to jump with you, even better to get to hang with you for a while. Jen and all his friends, all my sympathies...
