McDuck

You know, "Rover" was originally supposed to be a robot, but when they went to film, it sank to the bottom of the bay so they had to come up with a new version of "Rover".

John, I have the entire original series on DVD. I'll loan it to you if you promise not to foment discord during another film festival.

It's interesting to note that this series was born out of McGoohan's "Danger Man" series. McGoohan was asked at the "Danger Man" series wrap party what a secret agent does after resigning. Of course, it was meant as a question regarding McGoohan's own career choices after "Danger Man", but it got him thinking about a series based on that exact premise: what happens when you know too much to be left alone and people on both sides of the fence want what you've got?

That freaking weather balloon, Rover, scared the crap out of me when I was younger. I'll be interested to see what AMC does with this gem.

Finger puppet, my ass.

Why do they always pick the red pill? Don't they know I'm spearmint-flavored complacency?

When only the very best in cartoon legal representation will do, call me.

Yeah, there was quite a lot of good-time having that night. I'll talk to Tony and see if the cameraman for that jump (I think we got 25 out of 32 in that jump) downloaded his pictures to Tony. Otherwise, we'll have to hunt that guy down and get the pictures from him. In a few days, I should have the link to the pictures taken on the ground ready to post here.

It was great seeing you again, Lisa! Thanks for hanging out with us and making some sky-jumpy-jumps.

Imposed reality never tasted better.

Funks.

And untameddog.

Two hop-n-pops to film someone jumping a CG flag and someone else jumping a POW/MIA flag at the same time, and one high-altitude jump to film the release of the remains of a thesis.

Glad you guys enjoyed the boogie! I'll have some official stats on registration numbers and loads flown, but hopefully everyone had a good time. I know that I jumped three times as much as last year.

We had a 32-way RW attempt that turned out to be a 25-way, lots of freefly jumps with our LOs and the Jive Jam folks and plenty of smiles.

Anyone who wants a copy of the films that were submitted for the festival can contact Tony Thacker at Raeford Parachute Center. We'll be charging the same fee we charged the entrants: $15.

Thanks to everyone who attended, including Tony Urgallo with his wingsuits, Candace and Mark Procos from Vigil and UPT, Doug Park with Sky Systems and all of you jumpers. Without all of you this wouldn't have been nearly as awesome as it was. Thanks again!

There's always room at our place to hang out and play...you know the site, right?

Ah, shuffling off the chain early, huh?

Can't wait to see you out there, my friend. Saturday's going to kick ass! Uh, I mean, Saturday will be a day filled with fun and entertainment for all posteriors involved.

Yeah. Ever wonder why you get crap-mouth the morning after brushing your teeth and rinsing with mouthwash before bed? Bacteria? Yep, from inadvertently swallowing small spiders.

Liz, Rob Pelon and a few others will have a packing concession out on the grass, under a tent, if I'm not mistaken. There will be packers to take care of you, that's for sure.

I'll be out there Friday morning to help finish getting everything ironed out and ready. Can't wait to see everyone there!

You know, somebody could have TOLD me McDuck never stops talking.

No baby. I'm 100% Grade-A prime reptile under here. Here, have a sip of this...

How come my boat just vanished under water? And what's Roy Scheider doing here??

Andy-I have nightmares about being on trial

What, you room with Kafka in another life or something?

When you absolutely HAVE to deliver your message through the bay window...

That's okay. We're holding your daughter hostage in the gear store all weekend as retaliation for you not being here.

You know, we're starting to get the impression that you really don't like us. I mean, I know John (Slotperfect) mentioned you have lots of responsibility with the gay community and such, but you could at least make time to visit the people that kept your secret for so long.

Hi, we're with the church of religious consciousness. We'd like you to have this flower.

"loves the Cock" on the front

Damnit, I was going to put that on my new suit. Now I'll have to think of something else!

And now the floor of the Bonfire is reminiscent of the floor of a "viewing booth". Way to go, Andrea.

I'm not in a band, so I'm allowed to smile in my caricatures.

One more joke about me not jumping and I use this detonator.

So is there enough room at this boogie for my big Mouth?

Are you kidding me?? Of COURSE there's room! The last time I saw you was at Dublin '06, so it will be good to see your smiling face again.

It looks like we'll have a good group out early on Friday, so if anyone was wondering when to show up, you now have your answer.
