  1. With spelling and punctuation like that, you might want to make your parents proud and stay at college a bit longer, David.

  2. You're not bringing that hideous rig you selected after you won a free rig at my boogie, are you? Can't wait to see everyone there!
  3. I won't be smarmy and smug by stating that I "can't believe this didn't make the lists here", but I really love Christopher Moore's books. My favorites so far are "Practical Demonkeeping", "A Dirty Job" and "Lamb". They aren't really series style books, but they have a few characters that cross over between books...except Lamb. that one essentially stands alone. As others stated, The Belgariad and the Mallorean by David Eddings are exceptional, as is the Riftwar Saga by Raymond E. Feist. And for fans of ERB, the movie adaptation of "A Princess of Mars" is in the works.

  4. I absolutely LOVED Serial Experiments: Lain! Spirited Away was excellent as well. I would also recommend Gunslinger Girl And Noein.

  5. If you need a relaxing day, check out Glen Ivy Hot Springs in Corona. Kevin - Sonic Beef #5 - OrFun #28 "I never take myself too seriously, 'cuz everybody know fat birds don't fly." - FLC Online communities: proof that people never mature much past high school.
  6. It was fun watching you make those first few forays off the net in HD. I was both excited and nervous, as it won't be long before I'm starting my head down progression. You're right, though. Flying in the tunnel for fun and for correcting all the bad habits you taught me I learned freeflying in the sky truly is a no-brainer. Cora and I are addicts right along with you. I'm glad we've been able to share time with you and watch as we all learn and grow. Oh, and the staff at Paraclete XP are excellent! I learn quite a bit from them each time I'm there, flying or not.

  7. Dude, how long have you known Ratboy? Did you not know what he did while he was in? He's doing the SAME THING, only as a CONTRACTOR now...goober. Am I going to have to come to Japan and slap some knowledge into you?

  8. A good friend of mine reviewed this movie and found it to be tedious and dragging. My guess is that he didn't get the gist of what the movie was all about. I loved this movie and found it to be a wonderful journey not only through the beautiful country of India, but also through the hearts and minds of the characters. It was interesting to watch the dynamic between the brothers change, but ultimately remain the same as they travel together. As neurotic and quirky as they may be, their hearts are still big enough to respond with kindness and generosity in the face of interpersonal differences. Oh, and I REALLY want one of those boxes with the skull and crossbones on it.

  9. Fayetteville Regional is only about 35-45 minutes away, but flights in and out are limited and more expensive, generally, than flying into Raleigh-Durham, which is about an hour and 45 minutes away.

  10. YAY! Laura and (obvious-name-omission-even-though-I-know-who) are going to be here! I think this grin is going to last a long time.
  11. Well, I thought I would give him SOME credit for being born AFTER Moses. This is going to be one hell of a fun gathering.

  12. Early 40's?? I've seen fewer crags on the face of 200-year old mountains! He's already got a job doing essentially the same thing he did while in the Army, only now he's a scum-sucking contractor.

  13. They volleyball supporters must be out in force right now. Let's knock 'em down a few notches. Kevin - Sonic Beef #5 - OrFun #28 "I never take myself too seriously, 'cuz everybody know fat birds don't fly." - FLC Online communities: proof that people never mature much past high school.
  14. I'm down with that...in the parlance of the times. Kevin - Sonic Beef #5 - OrFun #28 "I never take myself too seriously, 'cuz everybody know fat birds don't fly." - FLC Online communities: proof that people never mature much past high school.
  15. Hell, if your office mates are cool enough, get them in on the voting too! Less talk...more click. Kevin - Sonic Beef #5 - OrFun #28 "I never take myself too seriously, 'cuz everybody know fat birds don't fly." - FLC Online communities: proof that people never mature much past high school.
  16. Not any more. She's at 46.2%. Let's get her back in the game.

  17. I've noticed that it takes about 3-mins of one person rapidly voting to change the vote 0.1%. Maybe if we get about 10-20 heavy-hitter voters all at once, we can sway the vote a bit faster.

  18. You're absolutely right. Religions have too much to gain (and lose) in the material world to have any objectivity with regard to human interaction. It's in their own best interest to keep their dirty laundry secret from the masses.

  19. The list thus far: Arvel (Gene-Gene) Kevin Newman Lesa (Zena) McDuck Sign Monkey (Sonic Smack) Who else?

  20. *BUMP* So, who all plans on being there? It will be nice to see as many shining faces as possible to help the old codger usher in the "armchair warrior" stage of his life.

  22. I like to say "Holy mother of DOGS!" Oh, and "CRAPSICLES!" Kevin - Sonic Beef #5 - OrFun #28 "I never take myself too seriously, 'cuz everybody know fat birds don't fly." - FLC Online communities: proof that people never mature much past high school.
  23. Holy shit.. stuff has gotten a lot lighter.. modern technology.... I still have the old school Keltys they used to issue back in the 70's... better than the older school packboards and rucks. Do some running and get in good shape.. the mountains are not all THAT high in the training area's but having plenty of leg strength and wind will help a lot when you start doing friggin point to point nav over them.. especially in the winter with snowshoes on. Yeah, it's more of a rolling hills kind of area right there, but the snow will make it tough enough. And I only speak poorly of Spokane because I spent 12 years there and was ready to leave long before that. I'm guessing that you're not going to JPRA SERE.

  24. Dude, we used to say that the wind didn't blow in Spokane...FAIRCHILD SUCKS! I can't be 100% sure, but if the phrase "The beatings will continue until morale improves" wasn't coined at Fairchild, it was at least PERFECTED there. You have to remember that it used to be a SAC base, and nobody in SAC was happier than when they left. When summer comes to the area, everyone goes to the lake that weekend. Find a nice garage for your motorcycle, and get used to visiting it there 9 months out of the year. If it wasn't for all of the meth houses, Spokane would be a really shitty place to live. Ice storms...almost every winter. Seriously, you'll find you'd rather be cutting trees in Siberia for the next four years. Talk to me on the other site. I'll give you the low down. If you can go west of the Cascades, you'll do much better.
