  1. Are you sure thats not George W? He was in the hospital recently.
  2. Once the knife was thrown, the fear of a deadly threat is over unless the attack continues. Then any deadly force used would be in retaliation for the previous deadly force, and not to protect yourself from the use of deadly force. I may be cutting too fine a line, but it seems a bit dicey to me.
  3. I got the driver and told him to give me his ID. I grabbed a notepad from my front seat and started to srite down his info, when I just looked up at him, held up his drivers license and told him "This is mine. And if anything happens to my house, your the first motherf***er I'm coming after." I really though he was going to cry. I dont get much of any vandalism in my neighborhood, but to catch one in the act really was all I thought it could be. Truth be told, if the kid had come back the next day to ask for his id back, I probably would have given it back, but let him know something about respecting someone's property.
  4. Here's Johnny - Jack Nicholsen in The Shining He's going to show her ole one eye - A Burt Reynolds movie Open up the bar and get the girls fucking - Al Swearingen in Deadwood
  5. What if he had killed the driver of the other car or the tow truck driver and the dad still sued. Would that then have made him a scumbag? The real scumbag here is the lawyer who most likely talked him into the suit so he could get his fat fee.
  6. Usta use very pistols at demos in the early 60,s. Would leave the door with a cartridge in the pistol, one tucked in my chest strap & a 3rd in my mouth. Fired in the direction of jumpers who had left previously who would pull a boot mounted military smoke. Each shot resulted in a different color smoke . Looked great from the ground, as if you actually shot him.
  7. Caleb one of the good guys. Blue skys friend.

    USPA Elections

    4 - other stuff How about publishing a list of saleries paid to USPA staff. I hear that's secret.
  10. I think your plan so far is good. If he is interested, a day at the drop zone should do him some good. There should be no problem with him doing a tandem, if he wants & he is in reasonable shape. To be sure, the thought of jumping a square to an old "round" jumper can be frightening. Bet he has some good stories himself.
  11. It is possible that if the legs are positioned just so during a hard opening, that his/her turd cutter stretched enough to let out a steamer. Of course the person probably had to shit bad prior to getting on the plane.
  12. Hey law rocket. Don't know where you got your degree but they should have taught you that the right to silence applies to "in custody questioning" not to spontaneous statements or utterances made by an enraged drunken fool. No doubt Gibson was in custody, but unless his statements were made in response to questioning, they are not protected.
  13. I am sure it is unpleasant for someone to come after you with guns when you only have a pocket knife and a large set of balls. Semper Fi Jarhead
  14. There is a device that emits a high pitched tone that is too high for you to hear but the cat can. It works on my cat when she claws furniture. Can't remember where I got it, probably in one of those catalogs everyone gets in the mail.
  15. All the cops I have ever known have used similar laws to make similar stops & I have known a lot of cops, trust me.
  16. I think you will find similar laws in many states. How about a bumper hitch obscuring a plate?

    poop

    Your turd cutter is too tight.
  18. I recall using the rit dye, although I can't remember the quantity. What was the salt for?
  19. As I haven't seen any posts that go as far back as I do, I offer this as the original birth of the term "rag gore". During the early 60's while in the USMC in North Carolina we modified canopies using two different methods. One was to sew nylon reinforcing tape completely around each modification in each gore. The second was to sew the reinforcing tape only across the top of the modification and to leave the sides along the suspension lines and the bottom along the skirt without the tape. The thought was that these wouldn't fail due to the nylon reinforcing material already there. This proved to be correct, however the canopy material along the non-reinforced area would fray and become "raggy" looking, hence the term "rag gore" was born. A buddy & I could turn out a completed sport rig in about two evenings. This included the canopy modification, sleeve and D rings and sold for $15. The rig itself was free, due to Uncle Sam's supply system which discarded them used or not after 7 years.
  20. As I haven't seen any posts that go as far back as I do, I offer this as the original birth of the term "rag gore" During the early 60's while in the USMC in North Carolina we made "cheap-o's" using two different methods. One was to sew reinforcing tape completely around the modification in each modified gore. The second was to sew the reinforcing tape only across the top of the modification and leave the sides and bottom, along the suspencion lines and skirt without the reinforcing tape. The thought was that these wouldn't rip out because of the reinforcement already there. This proved to be correct, however the nylon canopy material that was left after the cutting of the modification would turn "raggy" after use. Hence the term "rag gore" was invented. With the help of a buddy I could turn out a completed sport rig in about two evenings. This included the modification, sleeve and D rings and sold for $15. The rig itself was free, courtsy of Uncle Sam,s supply system which discarded them after 7 years, used or not.
