Did that in Junior high as well. Had a little side business selling it to my buddies. Made some with Cool-Aid. Was that illegal? something funny and unique

I like the Christmas present idea. I'm working on my Christmas ale which will be an orange and clove stout. I'm going to be hitting it hard and brewing at least once a week as I perfect my recipes. I'll be kegging and bottling. Speaking of time....I think I'm getting to serious with all me hobbies. something funny and unique

Where ever you go be sure to check out airbnb.com. I use them all the time. On most trips I can get an entire house or studio apartment for the same price as a hotel. I just a weekend up in the mountains with my sons and we got a amazing cabin for $125 a night. something funny and unique

I'll have an IPA ready for bottling in about 2 weeks. Anyone want to do a home brew bottle exchange? After the IPA I'll have a Blonde Ale followed by a Scottish Heavy Ale. I would love to share the home brew love and see what else is being brewed out there. something funny and unique

Welcome back!! Good idea waiting on the wing suit. something funny and unique

oooooo...good point.

Thanks, Skymama and Boogers. I do have an amazing gal! She's got one tandem and says thats enough for her. And I'm okay with that. She's more of a rock and river kind of gal. I'm just stoked that she is mine AND I'm jumping again! Back to the DZ tomorrow! something funny and unique

Thanks for the heads up. I wonder if I could pick up the package for a decent price if it would be worth it just for the container. Then again I might just be getting to excited to get my own rig. There will always be good deals out there. http://www.ebay.com/itm/331172358268?_trksid=p2050601.m570.l4449&_trkparms=gh1g%3DI331172358268.N2.S1.M5573.R1.TR4 i do appreciate the input. something funny and unique

Thanks! It comes with a Fury 220 main. It just might be a good starter rig for me. I will continue to check it out. something funny and unique

I've not stayed in a hostel but I have had some great times using www.airbnb.com you rent a room or an entire house at great prices. My wife and I use them when ever we can. My sis-inlaw just stayed in amazing roof top apartment in Jerusalem for a fraction of the cost of a hotel. Just a thought. something funny and unique

This may be a silly question but I'm a newbie. I've found a container that might work for me. It is a Javelin with a DOM of 1994. The seller says that it does not have a AAD installed. Can this model of container have one installed? I've found some containers online that stated explicitly that they can not be installed. I want to make certain that this is something I can add later. Any help is greatly appreciated. something funny and unique

I started jumping long ago. First DZ was Skydive U out in Cedar Valley, Utah then off to Cushing Oklahoma at OSC. I was working on my A License when I fell in love and decide I should start paying my bills rather than skydiving. After a 12 year break I got current last weekend at Mile-Hi outside of Denver. I got 3 jumps in for the weekend! I'm heading for my second session in the wind tunnel at Skyventure tomorrow and then back to the DZ this weekend. I'm so stoked to be back! By the way, it was that girl that I fell in love with 12 years ago that suggest I get back into jumping! Love that lady! something funny and unique

This is the story so far: Read a line, Write a line, tell your friends..... =================== It was a dark and stormy night... The fog rolled in from the east and the Mailman rolled in from the west... This wasn't any ordinary Mailman, he was... a man that dreamed of leggy blondes and long walks on the beach. To him, the only thing that was missing was a dog named Wilbur. His friends tried to tell him that Wilbur had just "run away", but he knew deep down the FedEx man had something to do with it. Showing up out of the blue with boxes of questionable quality.The mailman knew that the FedEx man was going to use Wilbur somehow in the plot that FedEx had to overthrow the world. Little did he know, the mailman was being watched from behind the bushes. By an overzealous editor. Meanwhile... In the back woods of Arkansas, Bartholomew Q. Wilson left his cabin for the first time in 5 years... It had once been a beautiful cabin, right by the main cesspool on the outskirts of Batesville. He couldn't believe that the research grant from the Canadian Institute of Incendiary Morphology had landed him such a Podunk assignment. While his peers investigated........ something funny and unique

Yo everyone. Stumbled upon this last night http://www.txtbox.co/story Type a line in the browser and wait for someone else to add to it. So far its a thrilling story of a mail man and his lost dog, Wilber. Cheers something funny and unique

I think "UP" had a a little bit bigger budget.! The funny thing is that the guy I'm following for the story kind of looks like a younger version of the UP old man. something funny and unique

I put jumping on hold some time ago so that we could throw all of our resources into building our production company. After a lot of blood, sweat and tears we are almost to the point were we can start living again. Here is the prologue to my latest documentary, Balloons Over Baghdad.

James has given the go ahead to repost what he is sharing. In his last post he stated that he was going to check out a demostration down the street. Communications have been spotty but if he has any new info I will be sharing. He wants this stuff to get out. something funny and unique

To give James some credit, it was not this bad in Iran last week.

I'm a member of an online community of documentary filmmakers. The following is an account given by independent filmmaker James Longley. He has been updating the folks on the forums and has given permission to to re-post whats going on: 3:51 pm About three hours ago I was interviewing people on the street in downtown Tehran with my translator, not far from the Ministry of Interior building. There were some riot police about 100 meters away at the other end of the street. A couple people spoke to the camera – one young woman was saying that "The riot police are beating people like animals. The situation here is very bad; we need the UN to come and help with a recount of the votes!" At about that time a plain-clothes security guy started grabbing my arm, and together with several uniformed police they dragged me and my translator off to the Ministry of Interior building. I fared much better than my translator, whom they punched and kicked in the groin. They ripped off his ID and snatched away both our cameras. A passing police officer sprayed my translator in the face with pepper spray, although he was already being marched along the pavement by three policemen. Unfortunately my camera was still recording and the battery was dislodged in the hubbub, destroying the video file of the interview. As we reached the Ministry of Interior building they separated us and dragged my translator by his arms across the floor and down a flight of stairs; he eventually regained his footing on the second two flights of stairs leading downward to the holding cell, where about twenty people who had already been grabbed off the streets were kneeling on the floor in the darkened room with their hands tied behind their backs. All during this process my translator was being kicked and sworn at. The police told him how they "would put their dicks in his ass" and how "your mother/sister is a whore" and so on. At one point he was beaten with a belt buckle. At another moment, they beat him with a police truncheon across his back, leaving a nasty welt. My translator kept on insisting that he was an officially authorized translator working with an American journalist – which is perfectly true. At this time I was above ground, in the entrance to the ministry, yelling over and over at the police to "Bring me my translator!" It was clear that they didn't intend to beat me – although they may have wanted to – because I was a foreigner. After a few minutes they relented and sent someone off to retrieve my translator from their holding cell, three floors down in the Ministry of Interior building. They came into the holding cell and shouted "Where is the translator?!" and then, when he identified himself, they beat him again for "not telling them he was a translator." An English-speaking riot policeman tried to sweet-talk me, saying that in a riot situation anything can happen. I might have taken him more seriously had a riot actually been taking place when we were arrested. He also asked my translator to convince me not to report what had happened. Eyewitnesses are reporting that fully-credentialed foreign journalists are similarly being detained all over Tehran today. The deputy head of the Ministry of Guidance just told me on the phone that other journalists have also been beaten, and that the official permissions no longer work. Also, foreign journalist visas are not being extended, so all of those people who were allowed in to cover the elections are now being forced out in the messy aftermath. All in all, it made me really question what I am doing in this country. It has become impossible to work as a journalist without the risk of physical violence from the government. -- I thought it might add to the conversation. something funny and unique
