  1. They make computer models, take the results and regurgitate it into forecasts. Complex stuff. I've read a few books on weather, mostly flying related, and what I've learned most is an appreciation for how difficult it really is to tell what Mother Nature is going to do next. There's really no simple do-it-yourself way to do it. Call up your local Flight Service Station and get a good weather briefing. Come to think of it ,I have an uncle that does this thing with his nuts that lets him forecast the weather with dead-on acuarracy, but it's a family secret. You'll have to play with your own nuts.

    Bored?

    Try www.housegymnastics.com. Best when drunk, trust me.
  3. I've begun to consider keeping a diary, or a journal of sorts. My brain is often more active than the task at hand requires, so there is a sort of "overflow," and I thought it might be interesting to keep a record of the thngs that happen in my head, that would otherwise be forgetten if allowed to drop into the flow of time.
  4. Oops, how could I have forgotten the nearly infamous Cooper Vs. Timmy bout?
  5. pissed.jpg = Cooper(black) antagonizing Rosie mockery.jpg = Toby and Patsy(brown) apparently doing the dog version of flicking me off.
  6. It's a release. People, to various degrees, have to express their views. It's a human requirement and to suppress it brings mental injury. Ahh HAA! You're digging into my personal feelings about the futility of domestic debate here. And, for what it's worth, I completely agree. Nobody says "well, h'mmm, I guess you're right, I'm a dumbass." With that said, people will express their views in whatever medium they have available, like it or not. With the Korean crisis now taking the front of American discourse despite the unresolved Iraq situation, we will see more of the same. EDIT: This post was broght to you by Jack Daniels - committed to proving that intoxicated Minnesotan ignorant fuckheads can sound like they know what the hell they are talking about. Go Duluth!!!!
  7. Well, I chose the last one, although i -can- remember, it's still been too long. Hope I didn't skew your results.
  8. It makes perfect sense. Everybody has an aversion to pain, well, except truly crazy people. I think that all new skydivers go throgh a phase where the public notions about skydiving disolve and reality sets in. Of course, it's harder for some than others. The really hard part is differentiating between natural fear and incompetence. I'm still working on that myself
  9. Honestly, not really. I started answering my calling to the sky by flying airplanes, and I was young, stupid, and invincible. Now I'm older, stupid, and sore as a mofo. Like what? (I'm nosy)
  10. Oh, Jack was with me for awhile tonight, since I got ditched. I let him go and now Mr. Guiness is makin' me feel okay
  11. I've had HORRENDOUS allergies that last couple of months. How do I invest in #8?
  12. 43. "Don't worry, be happy" I just heard that song on the radio a couple of days ago. I listened to the whole thing.
  13. Well, I've heard that other people have done it. Yeah, that's it
  14. I think I had one of those years ago, don't remember why (maybe when I had kidney stones???) It was about the size of a baby food jar - WTF???? And speaking of containers of human waste - is there ANY way to look cool while handing a bottle of my pee to a really hot nurse? I really tried, but all I could come up with was "uh, is this enough?"
  15. I'm a welder and last night I think the heat index was around 300 degrees. I considered taking bets on who passed out first. I was praying for a power outage so I could go home like the 1st shift pussies did, but no dice. Those east coast bastards get all the breaks
  16. The Dante's Inferno Test has banished you to the Sixth Level of Hell - The City of Dis! God damn...

    Friday funny

    I think you forgot to add the title "If Men Ruled The World" or something similar
  18. Yeah, stupid poll, I know, but what the hell. Last night (I work 3rd shift) I was outside having a smoke and there was a cool as hell lightning storm not more than 5 miles south, heading mostly north. I've always been fascinated by storms, and I was witnessing one of the better lightning shows I've seen. A big part of it is trying to decipher the clouds to see what the storm is doing, and the added challenge when it's nighttime and you have to wait for the lightning to illuminate them. Being that it's that time of the year in the U.S. to blow shit up in the sky, I started thinking "this is way cooler than any fireworks show." So watcha think? Do you like the random natural shows better or the man made variety?
  19. All righty then, here is the explaination you seek: Many times the question "Can't we all just get along?" has been asked. The answer to that question is "NO." Such a simple concept - amazing so few get it
  20. Farkhead As far as f'ing up their internet access, all I have to say is "I didn't do it..."
  21. I'm listening to the sounds of my guitar emanating from my amp. Sounds kind of like a cat with it's balls in a vice. I should practice more.
  22. Give him a wink and slap his ass. If he nods and winks back, he's probably gay. If he punches you in the mouth, he's probably not.
  23. I heard JTVAL likes little boys...
