  1. The nice thing about being a guy is that all a guy really needs to get laid is a good personality(morbidly obese not withstanding). If a guy thinks that hair makes him a look younger or makes him better person or makes him better with the ladys, then he is just a total dork and the lack of hair is the least of his worries. Fact:The hair club for men makes its money by selling insecurity. Not wigs.
  2. Furthermore, Rodney "why can't we all get along" King And here all along I thought he said, "Why can't we all just get a lawn".
  3. Robin Heid, Robin Heid, Robin Heid. Sorry, couldn't help my self
  4. Back in high school, I caught a buddy of mine wackin it only, he didn't see me when I saw him. I just quietly turned around a split so as not to subject him to the nightmare of being caught. I wonder how he would have reacted if he knew I caught him. Probably would given him a complex
  5. Not at a power plant but I have jumped smoke stacks before. The thing to remember about them is that they tend to spew toxic crap out of the top of them. If a stack is really tall, then you can assume that the shit coming out of the top is so bad that the owners want it to get as far away from them as possible and have decided to do it by getting the smoke as high up as they could so that the upper winds would carry it away. I will never again jump a smoke stack. Even one that is out of service. The last time I did, I felt it in my lungs for weeks
  6. Hey whats that comming towards us? Is it......Yes it is. Oh my god it's the speakers corner. Save your self. Run for your life before it sucks you in
  7. You hit that one right on the head. I've got a sister in law who thinks it's cool to be an idiot. She works hard at dumbing her self down every day. I give credit to pop culture for that. Her parents could never compete with the crap she calls music and entertainment, and to her, that is the true measure of how well some one fits in
  8. I did the same thing 6 months ago. I quite smoking and drinking and thats not all. As a result, I packed on an additional 40 lbs. I have just now lost the weight but it took a shit load of hard work and dedication. I recommend that you get into some kind of exercise schedule quick before the oral fixations take the form of stuffing food in your mouth lest you end up a big fat whale. You have made some excellent decisions by quitting those fucked up habits and in doing so, you have decided to be healthier. Why not use that same motivation to get into the best shape of your life? I remember reading something somewhere that said that those who enter an exercise program when they quite smoking are 10 times more likely to remain smoke free. Good luck and good on you. Kevin
  9. a girl like that one could save you a fortune in hookers
  10. One year at nationals, Scott Smith was the the ONLY competitor in national skysurfing competitions. I suggested that after he completed his compulsory rounds that he then borrow a student rig and go out flat and stable then do practice rip cord pulls all the way to pull time. He still would have won the gold medal. Skysurfing is alive only in the world of wufos but here in the actual skydiving community, its as dead as a door nail. If someone feels the strong desire to jump out of a plane with a piece of wood strapped to their feet thats cool but there just isn't enough interest anymore to justify holding comp rounds at nationals
  11. When there is a doubt, there can be no doubt. If it's been this bad so soon, its going to be bad again. Bail. Do it fast and make sure the land lord knows why. Wait too long and the land lord may not let you out of the lease. Moving sucks but not nearly as bad as having all your stuff stolen when your gone or worse, when your home.
  12. My guess is that these folks have one, but I doubt they'll let you play with it. - Jim What about if I ask real nice?
  13. Having worked in the industry I would have to say that absolutely they are making money hand over fist. Sure the cost of installing an operating cell sight is expensive but they pay for them selves very quickly. Not only that but the effort to fix them when the stop perfoming is usually not that great. Once the system is up and running, normally minor maintenance is all that is required to keep them running properly. Fail to perform that minor maintenance and VIOLA! you get lousy service. Cell sights are un-maned and operate 24-7. As I mentioned, 1 metro sight in LA will average roughly $100,000 per month. Cingular, recently purchased AT&T's mobil network of roughly 1600 sights through out the greater Los Angels area. that comes to roughly $16,000,000,0 a month in LA revenue alone. And that's just L.A. I haven't even mentioned cities like Chicago NY and on and on. Multiply that times 12 months and "Holy fucking shit Batman!" That's alot of money Granted there are over head costs to running any business but if they cant do it with that kind of revenue stream then there is some serious mismanagement or "fuck the customer" attitudes going on Get this. Inda has better cell networks than the U.S. So does Mexico and most of the rest of the world. We Americans just seem conent to sit back and accept shit service. Did you know that the U.S. is perhaps the only country where the cell companys get away with charging you for incomming calls. Thats right, they get comming and going. You wont find that in Europe. Why is that? Recently I saw that one of the cell providers was now saying that they would no longer charge for incomming calls and made it sound as if it was some great favor they where doing for the consumer. Yea right whatever
  14. Forget it bro. Feel free to give me a call and I'll go into more detail about why a tandem canopy is a REAL bad choice for BASE. Kevin. I'll PM with my number
  15. While this is no doubt a very cool program, it must be noted that the pictures you are viewing are not real time. They are in fact in many cases many months old. For example, zoom in on Eloys DZ. You will see in the photos that the wind tunnel is no where near completion when in fact it is already up and running. I wonder if there is a real time version somewhere that can be down loaded.
  16. Most likely the problem is with the cell sight that your phone was communicating with. Malfunctioning cell sights are the reason behind dropped calls, calls that you dial but never ring, calls that echo and lots of other things. It is usually attributed to hardware problems with in the sight it self and could be easily fixed of the company you contract with actually gave a shit. Unless you call to bitch about it, the problem will persist. Guaranteed P.S. The average metropolitan cell sight generates roughly $100,000 a month in revenue. Multiply that by the number of cell sights in that metropolitan area, and you begin to get an idea of the money being made by cell phone providers. The practice as of late has been to hire unskilled labor to fix these sights and they are paid next to nothing. Cell phone companies are making money hand over fist and doing just barley enough to keep their network up and running.......At your expense. For every dropped call, call that goes straight to voice mail with out rigging even when your phone is on, or any other malfunction, your are still being charged.
  17. If there will be many rangers blowing the wind at 100-120mph at about 30 degrees angle to the ground, we can land our wingsuits without parachutes!!! No law broken. Never thought I'd get a blow job from a ranger. Just the thought of it make me feel kind of weird. Is that normal?
  18. Naked lunch. They don't get much weirder than that
  19. Those bastards. Are fans allowed in the park?
  20. Team I can't fart with your tongue there, you are on a 5 minuet call
  21. QuoteI'm wondering why you are choosing this track of thoughts. Take a look at special use permits. Like this one. http://www.nps.gov/yose/trip/sup.pdf Check out Page 3. See that "exercise of First Amendment" part? Do a permit and check "Yes." Are you familiar with the area? "Yes." Do you plan on a press release? "Yes." Will you distribute material? "Yes." Do it! Is there any reason to believe there will be a counter protest? Put "No." Only NPS staff will protest it. You should FIRST try to get a special use permit. That means taking the time to fill it out. Since this is a protest, the NPS has less of a right to ban it. They may suggest a time and date for this to happen. They can regulate this. If they don't allow you to jump, or issue you the permit, then I would recommend seekign other ways. You HAVE to show the NPS that you are trying to do this the right way. Saying, "Fuck you" to bureaucrats is rarely successful and blows up in the face most of the time. LAY A DAMNED RECORD that you are trying to do this the right way before you just mount a protest jump without notice to the NPS.[/reply O.K. then your hired
  22. it is going to have to be an effort with many helping hands. I cannot do it all by my self. Besides, I wouldn't know where to start. Perhaps Jason Bell an help out. He seems to have his shit together
