  1. i've been watching a little world cup. might i suggest the players get some acting lessons? every time an opposing players jersey brushes against someone, he will throw himself on the ground wrything in pain and crying to the ref for not giving a yellow card. maybe if a little more contact was allowed (not quite as much as hockey) and they scored more goals it would be more fun to watch.

  2. i'm sorry, i just can't apologize. for that i owe you an apology. "Your scrotum is quite nice" - Skymama www.kjandmegan.com
  3. Which means that once their splice-job was outed publicly, they "fixed" it. Presto change-o! Doesn't change that they did it and tried to get away with it. I'm sure that they'll try to pretend it didn't happen; but if really pressed, they'll just claim they were just editing for space. But with Fox's existing history of deliberate distortions, they simply have no credibility. try again. i heard the apology yesterday starting shortly after the hearing was over. you can say what you want, some website can say what they want, but i fucking heard it.

  4. i've heard the apology on fow news on more than one occasion yesterday. "Your scrotum is quite nice" - Skymama www.kjandmegan.com
  5. i watched/listened to quite a bit of today's hearing. what a fucking joke. as for the apology, it wasn't really necessary. was it a shake-down? maybe. the president doesn't have the authority to do anything but ask for that money, and bp could have told him to stick it in his ass. instead bp agreed to put up the money, so we should move on from that. i do not believe the apology for the apology was genuine. the rest of the hearing was bullshit as well. it was all grandstanding, but accomplished nothing more than to show the world what complete assclowns we have for a congress. they were nothing but a bunch of blow-hards getting their digs in at tony hayward. they got angry that they weren't getting the answers they wanted, but a congressional hearing is about the worst place to actually get questions answered. one wrong word or mis-statement will get you a purgery charge and you can bet that there are people right now analizing every answer looking for just that. if i every find myself in front of congress under oath, i'm not going to know shit either.

  6. if it helps you quit, its a good thing. "Your scrotum is quite nice" - Skymama www.kjandmegan.com
  7. i believe (someone will correct me if i'm wrong) that here in the state the faa requires seatbelts to be worn during takeoff and landing, but once in the air they may be removed. its very common for jumpers to then remove the seatbelt at about 1000 feet for a couple of reasons. the first is that the highest chance of something going wrong with the plane is on takeoff. by the time the plane reaches 1000 feet, the throttle has been backed off and the chances of failure go down. second, 1000 feet is plenty high enough to exit the plane and go straight to your reserve if you had to make an emergency exit. of course if you aren't next to the door, you may have a lot less than 1000 feet by the time you do get to the door.

  8. mine has, but i was already married to her so it probably doesn't count. "Your scrotum is quite nice" - Skymama www.kjandmegan.com
  9. If BP lasts that long... they will. they are too big to fail, we'll just bail them out if they need it. "Your scrotum is quite nice" - Skymama www.kjandmegan.com
  10. was that a toungue-in-cheek comment, or are you serious? "Your scrotum is quite nice" - Skymama www.kjandmegan.com
  11. i've been on the sidelines raising babies for the last five years, so there's probably a lot of new stuff i haven't seen. "Your scrotum is quite nice" - Skymama www.kjandmegan.com
  12. exactly, thanks "Your scrotum is quite nice" - Skymama www.kjandmegan.com
  13. my slider has been irritating me, and i came up with an idea. could you put tabs on your risers that use the same concept as the barbs on the slider's kill lines? the best way to describe what i'm picturing in my head is to imagine a dive loop with some sort of stiffener or even a layer or 2 of riser material added to it to stiffen it a little (i don't think it would take much). it would be sewn shut. add one to the bottom of each riser and there you go. to the uninitiated you would appear to have four dive loops sewn near the bottom of your risers but you wouldn't be able put you finger in the loop. the inch or so at the bottom that isn't attached to the riser would become the barb. it would allow you to spend less time messing with the slider compared with using the velcro strap on the back of the jump suit. i'm not very good at putting the pictures in my head into word that people can understand, but i hope i've conveyed the idea well enough to spark some discussion. two questions immediately come to mind. 1. has this been thought of before and dismissed? 2. what are the potential downsides of adding something like this to the risers? i'm trying to think of ways this could cause a malfunction, and the only thing i can come up with is lines getting snagged, but it you're snagging line on the bottom of your risers, you've already got big problems or your doing crw. (of course, many people think that if you're doing crw, you've got big problems.) "Your scrotum is quite nice" - Skymama www.kjandmegan.com
  14. i plan on making a list of flying j locations along my route so i can plan to use them as much as possible. "Your scrotum is quite nice" - Skymama www.kjandmegan.com
  15. trust me, we make plenty of stops anyway, they just often don't coincide with the need for fuel or the availability of a suitable place to get fuel. elimintaing a couple of 20-30 minute fuel stops can either allow me to get farther in a day, or drive the same distance in fewer hours each day. with a multi-day 2600 mile round trip, this adds up.

  16. man i love bill crosby. "baby its cold outside" is an awesome song. "Your scrotum is quite nice" - Skymama www.kjandmegan.com
  17. i think it will be a while before an electric truck can pull my fifth wheel across the country, but this guy did some cool shit to the electrical system of his trailer. http://jolu-solar-jolublogspotcom.blogspot.com/ "Your scrotum is quite nice" - Skymama www.kjandmegan.com
  18. i'm not big on having them ride in the bed of the truck, fortunately they don't have to. i have a compartment in the 5er for a generator that is currently empty. they would ride in there. its also sealed off from the rest of the trailer so i don't have to worry about fumes getting into the living space. i want to get another fuel tank in the future but it won't be this summer. next month i'm taking the kids to new york and back without mom. (she's flying up for a couple weeks while we're there). i want something cheap and easy before then. i also wanted something that i can get locally so i can get it and try it out this weekend.

  19. at the worst it will be sitting in the bed of the truck which is above the tank. as long as i make sure the hose goes about 6 inches down the fill tube there will be no problem. i could also easily build a small platform out of scrap wood i have in the garage to set the can on. doing that so that the cap is a little above the bed rail would make things pretty easy.

  20. that's not as easy as it sounds. my fifth wheel is huge and difficult to manuver at many regular gas stations. going to a truck stop is fine when my wife is with me, but without her its a whole different story. i have 3 kids, 2, 4, and 6. truck stops usually don't allow pay at the pump, so they require 2 trips inside. some of them do have rv pumps where you can pay at the pump, but not all. also, when a kid says "i gotta pee", he has to pee. having him hold it until we reach a suitable gas station just doesn't work. the whole point of "some wacky construction" is to keep me from getting covered in diesel.

  21. i've looked into transfer tanks and larger aftermarket fuel tanks. the largest aftermarket tank i can get for my short bed truck is 47 gallons for $700-$800. thats a lot of money for only 14 more gallons. tranfer tanks that are plumbed in are permenant installations and i'm don't want to give up the bed space. i've been thinking about a 50 gallon fuel tank with a pump so i can remove it from the bed when i'm not pulling, but they're a little spendy so it will have to wait a while. I also have to get my rig to a scale fully loaded to see if a can afford to add the extra weight. "Your scrotum is quite nice" - Skymama www.kjandmegan.com
  22. they do, but my experience with a 5 gallon can of gas and my riding lawn mower has taught me that i'm not coordinated enough to do it without spilling. "Your scrotum is quite nice" - Skymama www.kjandmegan.com
  23. no, idefinately don't want to smell like diesel, but i'm sure i would if i were to try suck-starting the siphon. of course i could just get the wife to do it, she has an uncanny ability to stop sucking before getting anything in her mouth.

  24. awsome idea, i'll give it a try "Your scrotum is quite nice" - Skymama www.kjandmegan.com
