  1. Beats the hell out of "ya' know" or " know what I'm sayin'". The older I get the less I care who I piss off.
  2. That's really tough but shouldn't effect the pup too much. I once accidentally shot my best friend's setter's, coincidently named Toby, eye out with a BB gun 17 years ago when the dog was about a year old. Dog lived the rest of his long life with no problem at all and I named my new dog Toby in tribute. The older I get the less I care who I piss off.
  3. Threw a blown up Papillon into a fire we had going in a 55 gallon oil drum and after a few seconds it blew up like a 1/4 stick of dynamite. The older I get the less I care who I piss off.
  4. Believe it or not, "Woo Hoo" was an actual song from 1958 by a group called the Rock-A-Teens. I only heard it once and that was that same year on Dick Clarks TV program American Bandstand. The older I get the less I care who I piss off.
  5. I quit after 20 years because the whole routine just finally got too boring. Not necessarily the jumping out of the airplane part but the hour and a half drive each way to the DZ, constantly being hounded to do AFF and tandems when I hadn't planned on working, the same assholes constantly patting themsleves on the back because they're so cool and shit hot in the air and on the ground, the ride to altitude crammed in with 19 other people either burning up from the heat or freezing to death from the cold not to mention that over the years nine friends killed in the sport. Still, there's not a figure you could give that I'd take for the experience of those 20 years. The older I get the less I care who I piss off.
  6. "Four on the floor"? Back in my day we called that a double date. Or "four in the floor and a fifth under the seat". The older I get the less I care who I piss off.

    Tom Waits

    My favorite Tom Waites album is way old from 1975 called "Nighthawks At The Diner". Its like songs about people who've fallen to such a level you hope you never sink to and sleazy situations you hopefully will never find yourself in. Vintage Waites at his best The older I get the less I care who I piss off.
  8. Pretty unorthodox style and open tuning but godamned impressive and very pretty music. You're right Jtval, that guy's an asshole. I have four guitars that are on their way to the burn barrel right now. The older I get the less I care who I piss off.
  9. Sure was tough on front floaters though. The older I get the less I care who I piss off.
  10. Lonesome Dove, the scene where Gus dies. Had me blubbering like a baby both in the movie and reading the book. The older I get the less I care who I piss off.
  11. The older I get the less I care who I piss off.
  12. warpedskydiver, don't you just love it when things work out like that? Your family got an amazing car and a great story that'll last forever.
  13. Naw ya' don't. I have a 94 Ford F-150 pickup that came with the farm. It was my father in law's before he died and it only has 54, 000 miles on it. We just use it around the farm and for towing a small trailer every now and then in the local area. It's in great shape too. The older I get the less I care who I piss off.
  14. I had a 77 Civic Hatchback that I bought new and it had 189,000 miles on it when a skydiving buddy in Texas bought it before he moved to California. The only thing major I had done to it was change the timing belt at 60,000 miles as a preventative MX measure. He never did anything else to it but change the oil regularly and had over 300,000 miles on it when he was involved in a wreck and it was totaled. Yep, Honda really has it together as far as automobiles are concerned. The older I get the less I care who I piss off.
  15. Read this thread right before we went to see "Wild Hogs". Stopped off by World Market on the way to Cimemark and bought a big bag of Wasabe peas and we had them during the movie. Much better than popcorn and 1/3 the price. The older I get the less I care who I piss off.
  16. HAHAHAHA JSBIRD, your first jump story is almost a carbon copy of mine. That "oh shit" feeling when the weather cleared and the jumpmaster said "ok, FJC people gear up" was...... well, "intense". The older I get the less I care who I piss off.
  17. Saw both in concert multiple times. Lightfoot is much more intense live than Denver was. I do and always did kind of like John Denver because of his fine acoustic guitar work but perfer Lightfoot because uses more minor chords. The older I get the less I care who I piss off.
  18. Its been my experience that unless you have a limb missing with blood gushing out of the remaing stump or a spear sticking out of your chest, ER personel haven't got a diagnostic clue. Seems like they either wait for you to die or hope you get tired of waiting around and leave. The older I get the less I care who I piss off.
  19. Hard to beat the Stooges, the Twerp and the apes. The older I get the less I care who I piss off.
  20. Andy was a farm dog and lived mostly outside. He had always been good about staying away from the road but it only takes once. We suspect he was chasing some sort of critter and blindly ran in front of a car but we really didn't see what happened. The older I get the less I care who I piss off.
  21. Squeak, sorry about your dog, I know the feeling of saying good bye to long time pet friends. About two years ago, we had to put our two 16 year old Cocker Spaniels down within four months of each other due to the infirmities of old age. Man, sometimes having pets is real tough. The older I get the less I care who I piss off.
  22. Sorry about your loss Andy I know you must be beside yourself. Strange you should be the FIRST one to reply, your name being Andy and all. The older I get the less I care who I piss off.
  23. Our 9 month old Lab / Beagle mix got run over and killed this morning. We're devisated, Andy was a great pal and loved walking with us in the woods in the hills above our farm. We buried him up there with an assortment of his toys this afternoon. Sometimes life really sucks the big hairy wet one. The older I get the less I care who I piss off.
  24. Just saw on the news that in addition to all the wannabe baby daddies claiming the baby prize that Anna Nicole had sperm from her old dead geezer husband frozen and he could also be the father. The older I get the less I care who I piss off.
  25. Beard comb over. The older I get the less I care who I piss off.
