  1. Uh, other than the one on your head, what's your point? Would you like to touch my monkey? It lives at the zoo. I would most certainly like to touch your monkey? Can I get it to fling poo at you?

  3. I would certainly welcome any Republican to do the research and compile a list similar to this. There will be some. However, the number of Democrats who prey on children are far, far fewer than the number of Republicans that do so. What is it about Republicanism that creates this mindset that it's OK to violate children?
  4. http://news.yahoo.com/s/afp/20070528/ts_alt_afp/ussocietyjusticepoliticsexecution Proposals to execute pedophiles make headway in US WASHINGTON (AFP) - The idea of executing child rapists, even when there in no loss of life, is making headway in the United States. The Louisiana Supreme Court last week upheld the death sentence for a pedophile, and the governor of Texas is soon to sign into law legislation to that effect. In 1995, Louisiana was the first state to adopt legislation authorizing the death penalty for child rapists. Ten years later, the movement to make pedophilia punishable by death really picked up steam after nine-year-old Jessica Lunsford was raped and buried alive in Florida by a man with a prior conviction for sex crimes. Various versions of the "Jessica Law" sprang up all over in the country, imposing in most cases a minimum 25 year jail sentence and the wearing of an ankle bracelet for life for raping a child aged 12 or younger. But in some states, elected officials amended their versions of the "Jessica Law" by adding the possibility of condemning a pedophile to death. They include Louisiana, Oklahoma, South Carolina, Georgia and Montana. An overwhelming majority of lawmakers in Texas chose to join the list. Texas is responsible for a third of all executions carried out in the United States in the past 30 years and for two-thirds of those conducted so far this year. The draft law is now on the desk of Texas Governor Rick Perry, who has promised to sign it.
  5. Shame on those nasty indians for taking advantage of the poor white tourists I don't know about you, but I for one would love to see truth in advertising make a spectacular comeback. Goodon them
  6. Save Your Money On Skywalk Experience A friend wanted to see the new "thing" at the Grand Canyon, so they went this weekend. It is advertised as $25.00 to go out on the skywalk and the pictures show a beautiful building next to the walkway. Well; they are not quite "HONEST." It is $25.00 to go on the skywalk, but it is $50.00 to be on the reservation. You find this out after what they say is a 1 hour trip down a 57 mile dirt road. Wrong! this dirt road is 57 mile alright; the fastest you can go is 25 mph; you do the math!!! So, after this long drive you get the good news it is $75.00 a person!! Chris said maybe we should forget it; I said after that road we are not coming back so get out the damn credit card out. Then you get on their bus for a 10 min ride to the "walkway"; built in one of the ugliest place on the whole Grand Canyon; not a tree to be seen and the water is gray below! Their building is not started, so you have a trailer to go into to go through a metal detector and leave your camera and purse in the trailer. The walkway glass was cracked which lead me to believe they may have a few engineering glitches and I got my ass off the thing right away after seeing that! Believe me it is not as big or long as it looks on TV. They do give you a buffet lunch, with your ticket, at Guano (means poop) Point. The Indians used to go over the cliff here to pick up bird shit to use for Makeup (war paint). You get to sit in one of the windiest places on earth to eat your chicken or ribs covered with blowing dirt. We passed on the lunch. There are buses leaving every 10-15 min with 52 people on board at $75.00 per person $3,900.00 per bus from 8:00 am until 6:30 pm. That's $156,000.00 per day! I guess they are making a lot of money. They are flying people in from Vegas and Laughlin to go see this thing! I guess the Indians are smart; but not so honest about all the details of the activity. We had to stop and change a tire for a young girl who took her grandparents out there. They had the right kind of car and good tires; but the road is terrible, they blew out the side wall of the tire. They must have hit the side of the road and a big rock. They did not know where the spare tire was and were completely helpless. The tow truck would have come out there but it would have been 2.5 hours and $400.00! The girl was very scared and grateful we stopped to help. Some guys stopped to ask if this was the right way to the Skywalk. Grandpa yelled out go back it is not worth it!! One last detail, the hotel the Indians run to accommodate this adventure looks great online, but the sign at check in says "SINCE THE TRAINS COME BY EVERY 10 -15 MINS, PLEASE ASK FOR THE FREE EAR PLUGS". We immediately canceled our reservations and made it to Kingman , AZ for the night. We got up at 6am and got the hell out of Arizona! PS no cameras allowed out on the Walkway glass! The only reason I would have considered going is to BASE jump from it. Since they have metal detectors, that shoots that idea down.
  7. It would be nice if the link to the thread in the Subject field actually linked to the first post in the thread. And change the Link field to be a hyperlink to the last post of the thread.
  8. This is an art piece by Randy Polumbo. He's an artist out of Manhattan. I saw and fondled this piece over the weekend. It's on display at Art Queen in Joshua Tree, CA. If you take the long drive out there, make sure you ask to see the chicken show. I'll post the video as soon as I can. Ladies and gentlemen, this is Buttercup: http://www.zweg.com/dump/photo/DSCN3679.JPG http://www.zweg.com/dump/photo/DSCN3667.JPG http://www.zweg.com/dump/photo/DSCN3650_2.JPG http://www.zweg.com/dump/photo/DSCN3643.JPG http://www.zweg.com/dump/photo/DSCN3608.JPG
  9. Thanks for all of the advice everyone!
  10. For food? For sex? Was it running away from something? If so, what? Did it object to its eggs being used as a food source? ????
  11. Why are you in a gay bar to begin with? Uh, um, uh... :gulp:
  12. That's what I figured, but I had to ask. Thanks.
  13. Thanks. Are there really any real differences then between a Mirage and an Infinity? Other than the design? Basically, here's my gig: I'd like to initially buy a 230 for a main, 210 for reserve, and a container that will let me downsize to at least a 210, preferably to a 190. I can't seem to find the configuration I want as a complete system, so I'm trying to figure out if I can do it piecemeal and put together what I want and need. Thanks for your advice. I really appreciate it.
  14. I'm hopefully going to buy a first rig later this year I'm wondering what the difference is between a Mirage and an Infinity? Or compared to any other container? How do you know the range of canopy size designed to pack into the container you have? If you plan on flying a specific range of canopies with one container, can you find one container that can fit that span? And what size reserve will fit in the rig? And how many jumps is considered the life span? How do you figure that out? Is there a certain of number of jumps after which you should be concerned with if considering to buy that container? Sorry if I'm asking naive and often repeated questions, but I'm trying to figure out if maybe it would be better to buy individual items that I could work with and maybe buy a container and 210 reserve and work with a container that would take a 230 main for now but still be tight enough to hold a 190 in if I want to fly on my head. Is that too much to ask?
  15. That's amazing. I should try setting out dishes of sugar water out back of my place and see if I can at least get them to eat from those. I'm on a canyon and get hummingbirds all the time.
  16. Maybe you're forgetting that in 2000 when Bush was campaigning for president, gas was $1.58 a gallon. He harassed Clinton for not doing anything about gas prices that were hurting Americans.
  17. http://www.jewishpress.com/page.do/21223/Ann_Coulter_On_Democrats%252C_Palestinians%252C_Israel_And_Iran.html I don't know where Ann spends his time, but it sure isn't based in reality.
  18. As soon as he stepped on what looked like dry solid ground and it turned out to be a gopher hole and he sunk shin-deep into the mud, I asked him what flavor beer he liked. It's only fair. He pulled my ass out of some shit and fucked his shoes up at the same time.
  19. Isn't there a rule that you have to buy the guy that gets you out of a tree a case of beer? If not, there should be.
  20. At least as much of a tree as you'll see at Elsinore. More like some type of desert brush that looks like manzanilla but (THANK GOD!!) doesn't have the spikes to go with it. I did a perfect stand-up landing about 5 feet from the ground. Got grabbed into the middle of this thing. My risers got tangled above and the canopy actually didn't get entangled. Only the risers did. I was under 200' feet and the wind shifted and drew me off and into the shit. I'm still too cherry to have known what to do automatically. I kept trying to steer slowly but kept getting blown off. I saw the tree that I was going to hit and repeated the mantra "oh fuck, oh shit, oh fuck, oh shit" until the gods heard me and provided me with what was probably the best landing into this thing. I consider myself very, very lucky to have come out of this unscathed. Other than a couple of scratches and a poke in the eye with a sharp stick, there was no physical damage. Many thanks to Tink for getting me out. I hope the case of beer makes up for the soaked feet and having to scrounge for socks. :cheers:
  21. On the locate a dropzone page, Can you increase the miles from home from 500 to 1000 or maybe 1500? I love road trips and would love to setup some 4+ day weekends or longer for a road trip and some jumps. Thanks!
  22. It's Friday night. Why haven't you gheyed up this forum yet?
  23. The Japanese used to use Pekinese dogs as weapons. The would stash them in the sleeves of their kimonos and fling them towards their enemies at will. The startled dog would, by nature, snarl and bite onto anything in its path. Your throat would be torn apart in a matter of seconds.
