  1. We had a 411 at Decatur, TX in 1983/84. Finally got rid of it because of safety concerns regarding a design flaw in the rudder. Seemed that the rudder was too small to maintain directional control in the event of a critical engine failure on takeoff........or something like that.

    Bikers

    I've recently made the decision to not ride anymore. First, because my bike isn't worth putting any more money into to operate as it should and because, in the last two weeks, my neighbor down the road was killed when a soccer mom driven van suddenly drifted across the center line on a narrow road and hit him head on. Then, three days later, a guy from the next town hit a deer on the same highway and was killed when he was thrown from the bike into a tree. The older I get the less I care who I piss off.
  3. Many favorites listed above but would like to add Plas Johnson. The older I get the less I care who I piss off.

    Bourne

    415 E. 71st is two blocks away from the East River. The older I get the less I care who I piss off.
  5. Fuck, that's one of the funniest things I've ever heard. The older I get the less I care who I piss off.
  6. Definately both. Remember that big chick with the purple PC at Seagoville? One night in Jerry Phillips trailer............ The older I get the less I care who I piss off.
  7. Really, really fat biker women showing their "teats". Been there one too many times. The older I get the less I care who I piss off.
  8. Never had that great a relationship with my father either. The last time I saw him was this last Father's Day in a nursing home in pretty grave condition. Well, my brother and I buried him last Thursday and neither of us shed a tear for him. No closure or anything resolved, just happy that he's finally gone and everyone's out of there respective misery. Regardless of what either of us thought about him as a father, we were glad we saw him one last time before he died. The older I get the less I care who I piss off.
  9. Mike, be very careful with any late 90s / early 2000 Benz products. I had a brand new 1999 C320 and that car was such a POS that within six months I traded it in on a new Lexus. A friend of my wife bought a brand new 2000 SLK 230 and it was pretty much the same story reliability wise. Kind'a reminded me of the old Pontiac Fiero.

    RUM

    Stroh Original Rum 80 is very tasty, similar in flavor to those Lifesaver Butter Rum candies you ate as a kid, yummy. Be very carefull with it though. The older I get the less I care who I piss off.
  11. I thought at one time that Perris was using Paradactyl main and reserve rigs for static line students. Mabye that was something else I misunderstood after a "safety meeting". The older I get the less I care who I piss off.
  12. Never jumped there but been there. Was involved in the early 90s setting up Skydive Dallas with John Mitchell who previously ran the DZ and had a 182 at Magee, 64G, back in the 70s. We stopped off by Mcgee in 92 on our way from Dallas to Orlando for the PIA convention but the DZ was closed then. The Cessna is still a jump plane operating at Caddo Mills airport in Texas and Mitchell gravitates back and forth between Gulfport and Dallas in the home building business.

  13. S'hrooms had some involvement too IIRC. The older I get the less I care who I piss off.
  14. You should be able to find onion sets at any nursery or even Lowes or Home Depot. Here in Kentucky, they're everywhere, Ace Hardware, grocery stores, service stations, etc. Having said that, I put out 40 or so sets last year and in a banner year for everything else planted in the garden, not one onion came up. Avoided them this year. The older I get the less I care who I piss off.
  15. Good. That gives you a week to prepare for the, "The company is not making enough money for raises right now", speech. Right!!! The interview for the raise is just after you watched the president of the company park their new Mercedes in a reserved parking space as you arrived for work that morning. The older I get the less I care who I piss off.
  16. Been quite a while since the Cooledge days but 70 comes to (what's left of my) mind. The older I get the less I care who I piss off.
  17. Wow!!!!!!!! Never met him except here on DZ.com. He'd been around here so long, felt like we'd met though. So sorry that things come to this for some folks but much more sorry and concerned for his little girls and what they'll go through for a long, long time. RIP The older I get the less I care who I piss off.
  18. Or those who complain about having to wear helmets on takeoff. "Why would you want to be conscious while you burn". Same might be said for "duck and cover". The older I get the less I care who I piss off.
  19. Why Dallas of course. Home to Lee Harvey Oswald, Jack Ruby and other assorted nutcases including the Dallas Independent School District Superintendent in the mid 50s. Anyway, we came out of it without any PTSD or anything like that, no lawsuits were filed and as far as I remember, most all our parents thought it was a great idea. A strange decade the 50s The older I get the less I care who I piss off.
  20. Your choice. The older I get the less I care who I piss off.
  21. Oh horseshit!!!! (old fart rant here) Back in the 50s in elementary school, we were subject to atomic bomb attack drills, some in which we were actually told that enemy bombers were already enroute to vaporize us. All the school staff acted like we were all about to die and the only chance we had was to "duck and cover". Yep, there was the expected "crying for mommy" stuff but it did make us aware of what could happen and what, if anything, we could do to protect ourselvs. Guess what, we all lived over it.

  22. If there really is a God, it'll come out that he died while having sex with gay hookers. The older I get the less I care who I piss off.
  23. Velvet Hammer. The older I get the less I care who I piss off.
  24. I worked at the Sportatorium In Dallas, TX in the 60s and during my time there got to know many truly old school wrestlers such as: Bull Curry Fritz Von Eric Killer Karl Kox Lou Thesz Ernie Ladd Duke Keomuka Irish Danny McShane Red Bastine Don Leo Jonathan Pepper Gomez Skandar Akbar Nick and Jerry Kozak Mark Lewin The Dalton Gang There are many others but I don't want to appear to be a name dropper. If you don't know who these folks are, you truly know nothing about old school wrestling. The older I get the less I care who I piss off.
  25. Agree on Vanishing Point. Rented it from Netflix two weeks ago and watched it three times. Saw it in the theatres about six times way back when it was first released. My classic though, is "Outlaw Josey Wales". The older I get the less I care who I piss off.
