This has got to be a joke. If this guy is serious i will throw my $5 bucks in as well. I obviously cannot contirbute any moe than everyome else has already. This is a bad decision with bad advise. Unfortunately as we all know this guy is going to jump that Heatwave this weekend no matter what we say. That is the frustrating part. We all know from our EXPERIENCE and we try to pass it on to save someone's life but ultimately in most cases the hot shot ignores the advise. The other thing this person is probably not thinking about is the effect a serious injury or worse will have on his friends and family. they will either have to help in bringing him back to health or they will help to bury him. i wish he had a real good friend at the DZ that can prevent this from happening. Sorry to rant and i don't mean to Flame on the OP but this is a preventable situation and JMS please listen to all the other experienced people we may not personally know you but trust me brother we do care and do not want to see you get hurt or worse.

Wow! what a shock. Yeah right. This is old news since he basically admitted to steroid use by his refusal to directly answer the question in front of congress. The infamous "i'm not here to talk about the past" bullshit he spewed, made me wanna puke. The only reason he is admitting it now because his good friend Tony LaRussa gave the desperate loser a job. McGuire probably begged him for a job. But he knows that come spring training he would get hammered by the press everyday and that would not be good for the ball club. LaRussa probably told him he had to come clean if he wanted the job. LaRussa sseems like a pretty standup guy. Being a die hard Red Sox fan it is hard for me to admit any achievement by a Yankee but I'm with everyone else. Strip any of these guys of their records and give it back to Roger Maris. Yeah and no hall of fame. They can all go join Pete Rose in a circle jerk. Just my .02 Rodriguez Brother #1626 Dudiest Skydiver #1962 DPH #-2

Hard to beat pizza from New York or Boston but having grown up outside of Boston. I am partial to Captain Nemo's on Commonwealth ave just around the corner from Fenway Pahk.

Damn! I saw the TV listing but i thought they were reruns. I enjoyed the series when it was on last year or the year before. I am sure they will re air those episodes.

Neil Young's "Heart of Gold". The summer bewteen my junior and senior year in high school. This song was playing on my stereo when I called to ask a girl out who had two older brothers and one of them had the nickname whacko. My brain was telling me this was a bad idea but I really liked her. We ended up dating for 5 years and she became my first true love. Not that high school puppy love bullshit. But alas by the end of college we had different ideas about the direction of our lives. She wanted to get married have kids and live in the same town we grew up in. I wanted to travel, see the world, my thought was to grab life by the throat and choke the ever loving shit out it. In the end we both got what we wanted. She is married had 2 kids, lives one block from her parent's house. I got to do all the things I wanted to do so in the end it is all good. But everytime I hear that song I can't help but smile.

I have rented in Virginia and Rhode island (thank god I am out of that state) and only one place I have rented in Virginia actually required me to provide proof of the insurance. I don't think it goes by the State but buy the landlord/management company. Almost all the places i have rented were large apartment complexs with management companies. the two times i have rented from an individual it was not required. But with that said the renters insurance with a rider for my gear and laptop is well worth it. Escpecially if you have it thru the same company as your auto insurance or any other type of insurance. i got a good price for having multiple policies for all of my toys.

Thanks for posting the article. Now people will know I can't make this shit up. I'm from up north but I absolutely love living in the SOUTH. It's just that everyonce in awhile something happens that you just can't help but laugh at because it perpetuates the redneck stereotype. I didn't mean to offend anyone.

if history serves me correctly the largest SOUTHERN army during the civil war was the army of Northern Virginia. Agreed that Maryland is not the south and probably northern Virginia but once you are south of Fredericksburg it is the south. One more reason we don't have to worry about the south rising again. They are to busy jerking off their dogs! I'm a carpet bagger and damn proud of it. Oh and BTW I hate the yankees. Anyone who thinks Virginia is not in the south has obviously been a product of repeated in breeding in states south of Virginia. But this thread is more about jerking off the dog than it is about which states are MORE southern than others. The fact that people are discussing which states are more southern than others only goes to prove my point. I live in Virginia and love it. the northerner in me just can't help but get a good laugh once in a while from the behavior of southern people. Rodriguez Brother #1626 Dudiest Skydiver #1962 DPH #-2

Five Officers charged in dog fondling! Five Virginia dept. of Corrections officers have been charged with animal cruelty involving the fondling of a K-9 dog and videotaping the TWO incidents. Basically, the article goes on to say that these officers were being trained and they were told if they jerked the dog off he would be easier to control. Oh and one of the officers was a woman (at least by Virginia standards). They actually debated as to what to charge them with since they didn't actually hurt the dog. there was talk of charging them with beastiality but according to virginia law that would require penatration. An attorney for one of the guys suggested the state would have a difficult time proving animal cruelty. A quote from the attorney "The statute is not set up to deal with type of thing. I don't think the legislature quite had this in mind" YA Think! Ok people let the games begin with this bit of news from the south. Rodriguez Brother #1626 Dudiest Skydiver #1962 DPH #-2
