  1. Be really cautious about reading the "writing on the wall" about the area you are moving into. My wife and I bought a condo after having checked the plans of the development in the area which said that they were developing more condos. What we missed was that the city was thinking of putting in a homeless shelter only a few blcoks away. Kind of thing that you want to be carefull about. One of the ones we almost bought, the developer was being very evasive about the planned development in the area and upon further investigation it turned out that the city was going to put up subsidized housing all around the condo development (we would have been the few property owners in the middle of welfare city.). We dodged a bullet on that one but took a minor hit on the one we bought. Do your homework before buying My biggest handicap is that sometimes the hole in the front of my head operates a tad bit faster than the grey matter contained within.
  2. If you are referring to the first one she actually almost died. Apparently her heart stopped several times on the way to the hospital (saw the documentary) and she lost her leg. She has since done shark dives. As for her screaming like a little girl, well....so would I.

  4. I guess it's an issue of perspective. Having lived my life in Canada I despise the idea of winter. In the summer heat if you are down to shorts and a light cotton or linen shirt then so long as you have liquids it is tolerable. I hate having to take the time to put on multiple layers, hat boots, gloves...etc just to go to the corner store when in the summer all I have to put on is flip flops. I hate freezing my ass of in howling cold wind where any exposed flesh feels like it is burning (forehead, wrists between sleeve and glove....etc). Summer heat is at worst discomfort, while winter is pain. As for summer, unless you are elderly or ill it cannot kill you. Here people do die from the cold once in awhile. Winter is hell My biggest handicap is that sometimes the hole in the front of my head operates a tad bit faster than the grey matter contained within.

  7. Has he informed the sharks that they are only supposed to feed at the surface? I guess the guy has his logic but I think I would give that a pass. My biggest handicap is that sometimes the hole in the front of my head operates a tad bit faster than the grey matter contained within.
  8. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4KzRsxh1VdM Is this real? If so he is fucking nuts. At one point there are 2 great whites. He is grabbing the damn thing so it drags him for a ride. I would be screeching so loud and in such a high pitch that windows on the next continent would shatter (think chris tucker in the 5th element or drew barrymore in ET) My biggest handicap is that sometimes the hole in the front of my head operates a tad bit faster than the grey matter contained within.

  10. No because I don't make mistakes. Whenever things have gone wrong it must have been someone elses fault. My biggest handicap is that sometimes the hole in the front of my head operates a tad bit faster than the grey matter contained within.
  11. I lost a really good friend to a pilot who pulled that stunt too far one day and spun in. I don't like pilots that take unnecessary risks with me in the plane. Sorry about your freind. Did the pilot make it? If a pilot asks and ensures that all people on the plane are ok with trying for a Darwin award in advance then fine, but he did not ask me if I was OK with it. If he had I would have said no and if it was an issue I would have simply chosen the next load (I was not part of a 4 way, just doing a solo jump so I was replaceable). I had no say in the matter. I felt he had no right to make that decision for me. I enjoy flying too (not commercial flights though). I have never been in an acrobatic plane but I would love to go for a ride in one some day.

  12. Oh yes...know the pilot so you know he is not a fucktard. Went to a dropzone that I was not familiar with and had a shit experience with a newly hired pilot (the DZ shall remain nameless because they had a good reputation and in fairness the owner/operator sorted the fucking pilot out pronto, so I will not tarnish them). We were going down the runway (small feild at end of runway and then tree line) and for whatever reason we were not lifting off. Having never spent this much time going down the runway at high speed I got a bit nervous (like...uhm......pull the nose up please so we dont crash) and we kept zooming down towards the tree-line. I became increasingly concerned as the treeline came at us and was about to suggest that if there was a problem lifting off then maybe he should cut the engine or something so we wouldn't hit as hard. At about the last possible moment when I was about to lose it he suddnly yanks it up at the steepest banking climb I have ever experienced while the piece of shit pilot screamed yeeeeeee-haaaaaaaawwwww!!!!!. Apparently pulling that stunt gives him a hard-on or something. We probably missed the trees by a considerable margin but at the moment it seemed like we just barely cleared them. No expert but that seems like a recipe for a low altitude stall with no opportunity to bail out. Had visions of being trapped in a burning plane. Anyway, we got to altitude, I jumped, voiced my concern upon landing and avoided the pilot after that.

  13. Morale issues aside, that is my big concern. It may legitimize other enemies (even in conventional conflicts) doing that to our troops True. It was nice to see CNN crews rounding up compliant prisoners on the news. I suspect that my view on this may be somewhat "adjustable" if we were dealing with a key high ranking figure ( like OBL's number 2 guy if he had critical info) but I cannot deny that there is an ethical conlflict, and I certainly have concerns with this being used as a standard practice.

  14. Didn't look like he wanted to be seen as defending or attacking. He was playing dodge the question with evasive manouvers. Politician. My biggest handicap is that sometimes the hole in the front of my head operates a tad bit faster than the grey matter contained within.
  15. Christ!!! That has always been my phobia with those things. At the fitness center a trainer had me doing dumbell press on one of those things and when I expressed exactly that concern he insisted that they would not burst but rather deflate slowly if punctured. I had visions of droping backwards on my head and having weights drop on me with injuries similar to those in the story. Fuck that. I don't think I want to use those again.

  17. We can buy that in the LCBO so I will take your advice. I hope this is not a trick. My biggest handicap is that sometimes the hole in the front of my head operates a tad bit faster than the grey matter contained within.
  18. Actually I was just screwing around. US beer is great, but I just wanted to play up a stereotype. My biggest handicap is that sometimes the hole in the front of my head operates a tad bit faster than the grey matter contained within.
  19. Actually, you are. Well, except for Chuteless. But the rest of you are. OK I did hug a gay baby whale once but none of the other shit applies to me. The only thing I hate about the US is that piss you guys call beer.

  20. We are not all tree hugging, dope smoking, US-hating, go-hug-a-gay-baby-whale socialist cry babies. My biggest handicap is that sometimes the hole in the front of my head operates a tad bit faster than the grey matter contained within.
  21. US mega-power status allowed others to be free riders. As the world changes, people will realize that you will not always be able to intervene unless others can substantially pull their weight. It's an issue of incentive. My biggest handicap is that sometimes the hole in the front of my head operates a tad bit faster than the grey matter contained within.
  22. Already called them and they took my report. Hopefully it was just someone at the wrong house and this will be the end of it. Cheers.

  23. No no no.....human growth hormone has taken care of the physical shortcomings True! Sly claims it will be OTC inside of 10 years. Personally I don't see a problem with that presuming medical science has tested for side effects. People in hollywood get surgury all the time, tummy tucks, implants,...etc. Why is growth hormone any different? He is not competing in any athletic competition so there is no ethical question. If it helps him keep his on screen physique then he should go right ahead. Personally I wouldn't but again, that's his choice.

  24. You should still call the cops and see if they will at least drive by. If the guy is still in the area it might encourage him to go elsewhere. My biggest handicap is that sometimes the hole in the front of my head operates a tad bit faster than the grey matter contained within.
