Aren't you a little old for that?

I used to run and rollerblade a lot, but now I'm just plain lazy. Lately my metabolism seems to have hit a wall so I might have to start running again, or else sit here and watch my gut grow .

You haven't flown in two years and you're going to fly with a passenger now? That's kind of a no-no isn't?

Iisshhhh! 2% makes me want to vomit, hungover or not. Skim for me please.

Boxers myself. Question - how can any guy stand to have their junk all scrunched up in the "tighty whities"???? I used to wear those and now that I wear boxers I can't imagine ever going back.

Well I don't jump very often at my age, but I'd say a couple of feet I suppose. If I had a running start I could probably jump up three feet.

Well I haven't posted here much in a long time, but I have to say that DZ.com is the BEST web site I visit. To think that ONE guy does all of this at his own expense is beyond cool. For whatever it's worth, Happy Birthday HH!!! And THANK YOU!!

Anybody know when it's supposed to be made available to the public, and also what the price is supposed to be? I'm kind of interested to see if this thing actually takes off, given the hype and all. Personally, I think it will die out as really expensive fad, but who knows?

Definately fake. Just look at her shirt. It doesn't look at all like it just "fell" that way.

Your dog sounds just like a typical Husky. On a side note the first husky I ever met was my neighbor's. They went on vacation and my family was taking care of him. Your post kind of stuck out because my neighbor's husky was also named Sabre. Anyway, like I said before, you have a very beatiful dog there, and it's a shame you feel you have to give him away. My mom used to be a volunteer with the Humane Society, and she's about the biggest animal lover you will ever meet. She knows about this kind of stuff so if you want me to I can ask her about your options in giving Sabre away. My email is [email protected].

Just toss a can of WD-40 into a fire - simple, yet much more entertaining then anything commercial firework vendors can provide "legally." Also, go to your local pool supply store and buy a bucket of powdered chlorine - real good shit for making stuff to blow yourself up, or at least gas yourself to death in the process.

Inspired by the Red Bull commercial thread - Does anybody here NOT watch TV? The only time I usually watch is in the morning before I go to work when I watch the news. Occasionally I'll flip on Discovery or the History channel (so I'm a nerd - sue me) but that's about it. I used to like MTV WAAAYYY back when they actually had MUSIC on, but that's a distant memory now (anybody else remember Headbanger's Ball?) Just kinda curious.

Oops, sorry Vike, didn't mean to interrupt your attempt to get in her pants Carry on...

Amber - That's a very beautiful dog you have. Related to the Siberian Husky I assume (by it's appearance)? If so, then it's certainly no surprise that he wants to make friends with your neighbor's cows, that's just his nature. Huskies LOVE to run, and are very social dogs. Is this the only reason your dad doesn't like him? This type of dog (again, I'm assuming his temperament is similar to a Husky) needs very special care to keep him from running off on his own. Maybe you could work something out? Fencing helps, just keep in mind that they like to dig, and are very good escape artists. A concrete floored kennel may be neccessary. If you really want to keep the dog, do a search on google.com for the Malamute breed and I'm sure you'll find tips on keeping him home. And whatever you do, don't let your dad shoot him, because if he does I'll personally be PISSED!!! I love dogs, and I don't want to see such a gorgeuos dog blown away for no good reason.

That’s good to hear, and that’s exactly what I was looking for, thanks. Josh "Well I may be crazy, but YOU'RE boring!"

I have a question about Skydive Arizona’s ASP package. According to their web site, it’s $1685 for 22 jumps, including 9 solo and 3 Skydive U jumps. Has anybody here gone through it, or at least know of it? I’ve been looking at a lot of DZ’s and this seems to be the most “bang for my buck”. My numerous tries to get back into skydiving here in MN have screwed me over and I’m kind of getting sick of it. Time is running out with winter coming so I’m now planning on going to Eloy for approx. 3 weeks of being a DZ bum and just jumping my ass off. But before I do I wanted to throw this out there to anybody that is familiar with Eloy’s ASP course. Basically I’ll take along a tent and live on the DZ for the time that I’m there. It will be a few months before I can do it, so basically the middle of winter. My main question is – is this a good deal, or would I be better off going somewhere else? I’ve looked at Perris, Sebastian, and other DZ’s that aren’t freezing cold in the winter. Thanks. Josh "Well I may be crazy, but YOU'RE boring!"

THE NUGE!!! Anybody ever go to one of his concerts? I’ve seen him a couple of times and that dude DEFINITELY speaks his mind! I had to laugh when he was going on about drug users – “motherfuckin’ pieces of shit…”, while I could clearly smell someone (probably lots of someones ) smoking weed. That I can relate to. I work with people from many different countries, mostly Asian. Many of them will only speak English if they are talking to you personally, and even then you can barely understand them. While others make a point to always speak English, even when talking amongst themselves. The difference is very obvious. You can’t get a position with more responsibility if you can’t communicate with your co-workers, and I have witnessed that. It certainly doesn’t have any thing to do with race, and anybody that says otherwise is full of shit. Josh "Well I may be crazy, but YOU'RE boring!"

I have to say that I’m pleasantly surprised at these replies. I was kind of expecting a cop bashing or something. Being that skydivers have bigger balls than the average person and tend to be more daring, I thought that maybe many would resent the police for not allowing them to, well, have more fun the you’re “legally” supposed to. The reason I asked the original question is because I’ve been looking into a law enforcement career and wondered if I would get shit on by other jumpers for it, but I probably don’t have anything to worry about. SniperCJ – I wasn’t expecting a cop to reply, but I’m glad you did. I hope you didn’t think my question sounded negative. Josh "Well I may be crazy, but YOU'RE boring!"

Just curious, what do the skydivers on this board think about the police? Love ‘em, hate ‘em, or don’t really care? Do you see them as people who help the community, or just a bunch of losers who have nothing better to do than screw with you. Like I said, just curious, no harm intended.

I was thinking about this the same day as the WTC attack. Believe me, I feel as strongly as anybody about it but I was like geez, now somebody’s gonna go and try and make another “We Are the World”. God I hated that song. Josh "Well I may be crazy, but YOU'RE boring!"

Just one question Sis – Does the fact that I actually learned something from your quote from Playboy make me a nerd? Just wondering. Josh "Well I may be crazy, but YOU'RE boring!"

[don't shoot me]I didn't vote in the last election[/don't shoot me] but I wish I would have, and I would have voted for Bush without a doubt. Mr. Bore, er, Gore, is a liberal pansyass who would have probably gotten us all killed by now. If that quote is true, than I’m even happier he’s the head honcho right now. I’m just a lowly Minnesotan but I’m damn glad we’ve got a Texan (aka – A REAL man) at the reigns of this country right now. Josh "Well I may be crazy, but YOU'RE boring!"

I know what you mean. I drove about an hour and a half north this weekend to go to a party and on the way up it seemed like every overpass had a flag hanging from it. I saw flags on poles in the medium, flags on cars, and flags draped across rooftops of houses. I felt guilty that I didn't have one. I also saw 5 C-130's overhead, and saw several army trucks on the freeway. I didn't know where they were going, but I couldn't help but feel how scared the people aboard them must be right now. One of my brother's best friends is on a Navy ship right now off the New York coast. I bet he's scared too. It's so easy to think "Let's go kick the terrorists' ass!" when you're sitting safe at home in front of a computer, but what if you're one of the people that's supposed to go over there and do it? The bastards that attacked us are going to pay dearly, without a doubt. I just hope that the cost isn't too high. Josh "Well I may be crazy, but YOU'RE boring!"

C’mon, Skyhawk, you’ve been here long before I have. Long before I went to my new nick. You’re one of the originals and you goddamn deserve to be here. I know you are reading this, probably anon. You don’t know me but I’ve been on this forum along time and don’t want to lose any of the people who made this forum what it is. Y’all come back now, hear? Josh "Well I may be crazy, but YOU'RE boring!"

The first I heard of the attack was from a co-worker who came up to me and said “Did ya hear?” I was busy so I just said “No, what?” and I continued working. He said, “they just blew up the World Trade Center.” I just sat there waiting for the punch line, but didn’t get one, so I said, “okay, they blew it up and…” and just waited. After he began to explain I realized that he wasn’t joking. I went to the nearest TV just in time to see the first building collapse in on itself and the realization that this is actually happening literally made me sick. I will always remember for as long as I live that image that I saw on that cheap TV in the meeting room where I work. Thinking of the people that were in that very building that crumbled down while I just stood there and watched. There is so much I could say right now, but I won’t, because I believe that everybody feels the same way, in his or her own way. So just for the sake of conversation, where were you, and what were you doing when you heard the news? Josh "Well I may be crazy, but YOU'RE boring!"
