fanny is a good one. in canada anyway, it is usually used by women to refer to someone's butt. in the uk, as my sister discovered while visiting her brit boyfriend's parents, it refers to , ummm, 'tuna town'... "Jumping out of planes for the thrill of it all." -J.Geils Band

oh man, what have i done. i try to share some knowledge, now i'm lumped in with clay and skreamer.... "Jumping out of planes for the thrill of it all." -J.Geils Band

i am nothing if not a font(sp?) of useless information. my wife won't play trivial pursuit with me anymore, because i know some odd things, and i have no idea why i know them, or where i found out about them. the sheep-vest thing is just an example.

i was thinkning the same thing, i wonder where they shop? "Jumping out of planes for the thrill of it all." -J.Geils Band

not sure, but there is a way to find out... ever drive by a sheep farm (come on, you know you do!) and see some of the sheep wearing what looks like a vest? i found out that they put those on the males, each one gets a different color, and when they mate with a female, it leaves a colored patch on her back. this way, they can tell which sheep has been bred, and by which male. that said, if you saw a sheep with a vest and a colored patch on his forehead, chances are, he's gay.

found this somewhere, i'm sure most people have seen it, but i guess it more or less stands as the official rules... Beer Rules 1. An unwritten law, one as immutable and irrefutable as gravity and backed by history, states that skydivers enjoy the drinking of beer almost as much as flight itself. 2. A manifestation of this fact is the tradition of the buying by an individual skydiver a case of beer (that being twenty-four cans or bottles holding twelve or more ounces of beer, ale, or some similar such substance) for his or her fellow jumpers to celebrate the accomplishment of a particular feat or milestone in one's jump career. 3. It is generally recognized that the buying and drinking of such beer enhances that common bond shared by skydivers and contributes greatly to the body of knowledge concerning parachuting and its related activities. 4. It is a sad fact that some skydivers are ignorant of what constitutes a significant achievement (usually and henceforth referred to as a "first"). Equally sad is the fact that some unscrupulously thirsty jumpers will shamelessly try to "weasel" a case of beer out of a jumper for an inauspicious event. 5. Recognizing this, the following happenings are to be regarded as suitable occasions for buying beer. This list is not to be construed as exhaustive. 6. First jump (It is not required of students. They are simply encouraged to participate). 7. If more than one first is accomplished on a single jump, only one case of beer is required. 8. Participation is voluntary. If a skydiver chooses not to participate by buying, neither shall the skydiver enjoy the fruits of the accomplishments of others. 1. Non-drinkers may buy sodas and buyers may make up any part or whole of their purchase in soda for the enjoyment of those non-drinkers. 2. It is generally recognized that using a reserve parachute for the purpose of saving one's worthless, non-packing self from a gory death requires him to buy the saving rigger dinner or the bottle of liquor of his choice. 3. These articles are ironclad and binding. For the price of an additional six-pack, a sniveling skydiver may enlist the services of an S & TA to represent him or her in a hearing where the committee will rule against that skydiver a second time. - Completing the student course of instruction - First four way - First eight way - First CRW - First time in the peas - First night jump - First kiss pass - First competition - First water jump - First naked jump - First jump on your own pack job - First dead center (measured by a judge or electronic scoring pad on a three or five cm disc) - First jump on a new main or new rig (purchased, not borrowed) - Any license, award, rating, or badge - Getting your name or photo in "Parachutist" Magazine - Gross safety violations not resulting in serious injury or death - Any jump ending in "00" - First cutaway/reserve ride - First jump from an aircraft not normally used at home drop zone - First jump at a new drop zone - First demo jump - First save (you riggers thought you were getting off easy) - Vomiting in the airplane or on another skydiver - First round canopy jump (Geez, used to be the other way round) - First broken bone - First camera jump "Jumping out of planes for the thrill of it all." -J.Geils Band

Tim To the north there lies a cave-- the cave of Caerbannog-- wherein, carved in mystic runes upon the very living rock, the last words of Olfin Bedwere of Rheged...[boom] ...make plain the last resting place of the most Holy Grail. Arthur Where could we find this cave, O Tim? Tim Follow. But! Follow only if ye be men of valor, for the entrance to this cave is Guarded by a creature so foul, so cruel that no Man yet has fought with it and lived! Bones of full fifty men lie strewn about its lair. So, brave Knights, if you do doubt your courage or your strength, come no further, for death awaits you all with nasty, big, pointy teeth.

yes, anything to do with boobies should be at the top. "Jumping out of planes for the thrill of it all." -J.Geils Band

they try, and usually succeed, at getting into everything. backpacks and grocery bags are fair game. they like to hide things too. things will go missing (shoes, gloves, cat toys etc) and they will turn up in a stash somewhere, usually the same places everytime. they aren't hard to care for at all, just an occasional bath and keep their cage clean. they can be litter trained as well, some people don't cage them at all.

here's apic of them if anyone's interested... they have taken over one of our kitchen drawers, so we put some old rags and towels in it and they sleep there when they are out. it's a 1024x768 jpg, about 128k "Jumping out of planes for the thrill of it all." -J.Geils Band

one of ours got out one day without anyone noticing. a couple of kids came running up to our front door and said a 'big white rat' had just run into our garage... my wife went out and sure enough, it was our ferret. she had been running around the park across the street and knew enough to come home. not enough to look out for cars mind you, but she did come back. we are much more careful about opening doors, as soon as one opens, both of them are right there to try and get out.

they are a little work, we bath them once a month (one of them likes it, the other hates it) adn clean their cage daily. since we let them run around the house for a few hours a day, there are little 'presents' left for us in corners. we bought a big plastic tote and put a bunch of ground corn cobs in it. they love to play and dig in it, and we have found they also are much better smelling afterwards!

i think it's more or less a lack of activity. they are silky, but they don't do a damn thing! boring as a pet rock. the ferrets on the other hand, get into everything. mine have figured out how to get up on the kitchen counters... knowing this, we don't leave anything out for them to get into, but they are clever.

i have two ferrets, two dogs (a shih tzu and a jack russell), three cats and a chinchilla. with the exception of the chinchilla, who is at the very bottom of the food chain, all of them get along quite well. if it weren't for the cats, i'd have a couple more ferrets. there's nothing more entertaining!
