the result of that could be a 90% loss of faculty which could, depending on timing, result in the loss of accreditation. In short, the university is committing suicide for its standards. Something I believe is generally against Christian tenants.

Does the school run apartment complexes too? Do the tenants have to sign also?

I think the word you really wanted to use is tenets.

The community is starting to say that this is what they want.

The authorities are starting to say that is what they expect

No, they're not. But it sounded good to add to your post, didn't it? Kinda like made up statistics.

Grand opening will be August 4 to 12?

So now there's an action figure of her:

And SNL did a skit about her over the weekend.

Something tells me she's going to end up with a reality show from this whole deal.

She'll probably end up doing porn like the octogon mom. Anyone see that story?

The octogon mom?

Well unfortunately, there isn't much demand for a Liberal Studies major with Environmental Science and Geography minors...I don't regret my degree choice at all but it sure is making finding a job difficult as fook. Anyone want to hire a young, ambitious, hard working, multi-talented college grad?

Memorize the phrase "Do you want fries with that?"

As long as I know the jump pilot can control the plane it makes no difference to me if he is using crutches. Do you have your Commercial yet?

I'm reminded of an article in AOPA magazine years ago. A guy with limited use of his legs was earning a living in his Piper aircraft giving flight instruction and also just providing joyrides on a sunny afternoon. One day he walked up to the plane with his two elderly lady clients. When he got to the wing (Pipers are low wing aircraft, most of them anyway) he set the crutches aside, sat down on the wing facing back, and began pushing himself towards the door with his hands. After he got situated in the pilots seat he invited the ladies to climb in. He looked back to see them sitting down on the wing and scooting themselves forward with their hands.

Kind of hard to do when you don't even provide a link to your web site...

Just type your life story here. He'll cut 'n paste it to his website. Sounds simple enough, but I wouldn't do it.

i started for my A in january of this year and got it on 4/20 of this year, of all the days i pack for myself to and have jumped 20 of my pack jobs already(really gotta keep working on it though have had some hung sliders and minor line twists but still) but it all depends how much u can afford and how much time ur willing to dedicate... all that factors in cuz it unfortunately isnt cheap so for most it tends to be a slower process from what i have heard from askin around the DZ which sucks cuz its def something that most wanna keep doin over and over and over and over and over and over and over again...anyways welcome to the sport hope u find it as amazing as i have BLUE SKIES!!!

You can get your A license even quicker if you don't bother with that pesky punctuation.

He was also Sissy Spacek's father in the movie Coal Miner's Daughter.

Congratulations to you! You're not holding the diploma upside down and your pants are zipped up.

She makes herself sound like one as well.

Let's stick a microphone in front of you and see how goofy you sound. Not too many people can pull off public speaking without a bit of practice and experience.

Tanorexic! I love that term.

44 years old with a 5 year old kid? Kind of late blooming with all that sunshine she's been getting.

There's not that many people saying "I'd hit that" about her.

But for now I don't think anyone will spend the money and time it takes to build something that is even close to as effective as AFF-1. And I don't think you'll learn enough from watching Youtube.

He thinks he will, and that's all that is important to him.

I've decided you're right. Look at me. Volunteering to moderate this board for free! It's psychological war, I tell you. Exactly the same as slavery. Sometimes I even have to cut my lunch short to deal with some nonsense in Incidents.

And who is benefiting from all my work? You guys, who can't even be bothered to pay what you owe me. So I'm naming all you freeloading tax cheats in the lawsuit.

But it's such valuable experience that you can add to your resume.

And he'll soon be able to get his name listed in the Guinness Book of World Records as the person with the greatest number of forum posts. That could lead to visits with Letterman, Leno, Jimmy Fallon, and all those nice ladies on The View.

I'm not into poems but there was one that I just can't get out of my head. The first line goes something like this:

There once was a lady from Nantucket ...

Can he flip it over and mow the lawn?

there is a place where you can actually do that.

I love jumping at that place and it is cheap jump ticket too.

And if you ask real nicely they'll even let do some maintenance on their jump planes.

To Three or not to Three[/url]

I would vote for the three-way. It's one of the most fun things to do ... oh, wait. You must mean skydiving. Never mind.

Being able to laugh at yourself while walking back from the landing area is one of the more fun aspects of growing up in this sport. Enjoy it and get you and your two friends back in the plane for another one.

Skydiving isn't easy. It's going to take quite a few jumps for you to look like those hotshot 4-way teams you see in the videos.

But whatever you do don't ever stop drawing your cartoons. We enjoy them very much.

Well as I said in an ideal world I wish newbies (myself, etc) would be allowed to rent / purchase gear, go to a DZ, sign whatever liability waivers, watch a comprehensive and interactive video course on skydiving and then let go at it.

Oh, if it were only that simple. I would go tomorrow and rent one of those Formula 1 or Indy race cars and burn some rubber. It doesn't look too hard. I watch those guys do it every Sunday afternoon on TV. Oh, no! I know what I want to do! I want to get into one of those hotshot airplane Reno pylon racers. It can't be too difficult, you just jerk that stick back and forth to turn left and right. Piece of cake. Why do they make it so damned hard for me to just have a little bit of fun? It's a conspiracy, I'm sure. I mean, I could just watch a comprehensive and interactive video course and learn all I need to know.

Mama's got a squeeze box
She wears on her chest
And when Daddy comes home
He never gets no rest

'Cause she's playing all night
And the music's all right
Mama's got a squeeze box
Daddy never sleeps at night

Well the kids don't eat
And the dog can't sleep
There's no escape from the music
In the whole damn street

'Cause she's playing all night
And the music's all right
Mama's got a squeeze box
Daddy never sleeps at night

She goes in and out and in and out and in and out and in and out

Cause' she's playing all night
And the music's all right
Mama's got a squeeze box
Daddy never sleeps at night

She goes, squeeze me, come on and squeeze me
Come on and tease me like you do
I'm so in love with you
Mama's got a squeeze box
Daddy never sleeps at night

She goes in and out and in and out and in and out and in and out

'Cause she's playing all night
And the music's all right
Mama's got a squeeze box
Daddy never sleeps at night

... Do skinny chicks pay less than mediocre sized people because it takes less gas to get them to altitude and causes less fatigue on the instructor? Doubt it.

How big are mediocre sized people? I'm dyin' to know.

When this thread started I was very little.

I bet it was all those nanothermites.

This sums up George Carlin for me.

"Religion has convinced people that there’s an invisible man…living in the sky, who watches everything you do. This invisible man has a list of ten things he doesn’t want you to do. And if you do any of these things, he will send you to a special place, of burning and fire and torture and anguish for you to be forever, ...and suffer and burn and scream for eternity. But he loves you. He loves you and he needs your money." - George Carlin
