before long biodiesel will be cheaper than regular diesel. At that point there will be amazing progress towards massive biodiesel production. Yes but the government will try to steer us away from biodiesel. The smell of the exhaust will make us hungry for french fries, then we would all get really fat, then.... well the government can't have that.

Bonehead is always updating their molds. I'm sure they get a lot of feedback from the field from users and potential buyers. As much as we love our original mindwarps w/velvet it didn't fit every shape of head the way it should. Anybody who has a gunner knows it fits sweet. The newer stuff is more flexable and the padding is better. The gunrack, which replaces the bat & half rack, is more comfy and will fit more heads. BTW I heard that this mindwarp is the first "pimp-daddy" the others were called the pimp-daddy by vendors and users but not the factory. Whatchuthink?

This conversation has been done before. You can do a search. A piece of advice: Reserves fly different than most canopys you would typically fly and land. Give yourself some prior experience on a reserve so you know the difference before you HAVE to use one. PD has a fantastic demo program and reserves on risers set up as mains. Don't jump YOUR reserve for fun as a main. Keep it fresh and new for your first emergency.

Thats why at Perris we have a potato cannon......ooops I wasn't supposed to say that out loud..

I've heard parts of Henry Rollins spoken word. someone uploaded it to the old nabster. Funny, insightful to what was going on in the old days. He has a story about a fan who is also a pilot flying him in a small single craft to a show in the north midwest after his scheduled commuter flight gets grounded. He hates flying. I remember when the misfits were popular for like a minute in the eighties. I took a lot of flack for liking them. Now it seems that they are more popular than ever and for a much longer time with kids that weren't even born back then. To bad you don't have pictures of the dew Chris. I have a few of mine, saving them to torture my kids later in their lives.

Any of the infractions related to hygiene?

Happy birthday Gumby, dammit!

Actually I believe this tread does have a very constructive purpose. Both when it was comedy and now that everyone is thinking about the human ability to take another humans life. The feeling that there is never a reason to take another life is valid and wonderful and would be the cornerstone of a utopian society. Something to strive for. But we don't live in that place. We live in a world of human adaptations, mutations and deformity. What makes an otherwise normal housewife want to drown her children or an otherwise quiet young man want to kill other young men and eat their flesh? Far from Utopia. But all part of our humaness like it or not. What some people are missing here is that, in the case of Osama, some people could eliminate him without HATRED, without PREJUDICE, without CONSCIENCE. Not out of selfish hateful motives. This adaptation in our humaness ( like it or not ) is what brings balance to our very non- utopian world. Back to the comedy!

First you start out with the best human. Tall, long legs, light weight yet muscular. This would be the airframe. Then you add flying capability, experience even from other skydiving disciplines, smoothness body awarness, etc. This would constitute the controls and how well they are rigged from the brain to the control surface. Then you pick the suit. Its the skin for the aircraft. In this case its fabric zip up. And how well it is tailored to the flyer. All of the suits are good quality. Some suited better for some purposes than the others. The taller, stronger wing-suit flyer will get more out of a suit with less surface area. A more experienced skydiver will get better results than a less body aware newer wingsuiter. A low upper body strength jumper will absolutely hose themselves if they can't handle the strain on their arms that the S3 will provide. Or if they can't maintain the overall optimum body position due to fatigue. They will be fighting the suit the whole way adding to the fatigue, staying way behind on the learning and fun curve. It really just depends on all of the above factors not just the suit. The best way to get the best suit for you is really to go to a boogie where BMI and demo suits are available or request a BMI to come to your DZ with various suits in your approximate sizes. But to answer your question if all other things are equal the S3 has more glide. Does it have more for your experience and body type.... I really can't answer that.

she has to perform ATM sex Quote Ok what is ATM sex?

Did he take you golfing?

That to me is just as bad as anything osb would do. How are you better than him if you did that? Never said I was better, I'm probably inferior to Osama in many other levels of being. From education, accruing financial support for a fringe movement, personal conviction to philosophy and the whole great leadership ability. I'm pretty sure he has got me beat. We may be tie in a hairy ass contest, but noone cares. I think I would win judged on freeflying ability, household and automotive repair and I tend to spew less hate. Well most of the time, no honest really. Oh yeah, and I didn't kill( directly or indirectly) thousands of people.

One of the tools used by governments to get people to do what they want is to convince them that the enemy isn't human. Bin Laden? Get him and either put him in jail for life or execute him. To wish anything else is to pander to one's (selfish) desire for revenge. It's an understandable sentiment, but one of our less-noble desires, I don't have any revenge trip on OBL. He hasn't effected me personally other than the problems he has caused the world..... And they are many. Revenge would be if I had a deep personal loss in any attacks performed by the group. I could pull his lever without being selfish........and we don't even want to get into my sick less-noble desires.

This tread started out as dark humor about a situation ( plinking OBL) that will never happen, ever! I and others replied they could and offered other tortures of double taps, catapults, jail forever and pig part parties. You got all realistic about our collective meanness and lack of humanity. And you quoted Yoda on hatred. Thanx padawan. Keep in mind not everyone would be filled with Hatred in executing OBL. There are all kinds of people, There are all kinds of people that have taken others lives, for all kinds of reasons. From a soldiers self preservation, law enforcement officers duty, death row correctional officers occasional nasty task, a murderers personal greed to a psychopathic killers bloodlust. Some of the above could kill without hatred. A simple task that needs to be done, like a housewife squating a fly. Many more people could squat OSB just like a fly without remorse and without the need for counseling afterward. He lost human status a long time ago. ( thats the way I feel ) Who are you to determine his humanity?!?! You wrote: At what point does a person lose his right to being considered a human? I agree he did some horribly messed up things. Would you consider a street killer subhuman? If so where do you draw the line, would someone who then stole be subhuman. Imagine if you shot this man who you believed to have murdered say 20 people. A week later you found out he was innocent. Now what good did your revenge and hate do? nothing, it killed an innocent man. Dont get me wrong OSB isn't innocent! but where do you draw that line? you can't! These points don't count: We (Me) are NOT offering to kill a common killer or robber, who in the end may or may not be innocent. Courts figure all this stuff out with the help of judges and juries. In fact you can kill a few people and serve a fraction of your sentence then tell the review board you are better now and walk free in a few years. You don't get the death penalty nowadays unless you are a cereal killer or other extremely bad dude. In fact the only street criminal who has to fear death from me is the one that puts me in a position of self preservation. OR harms my children for whatever reason. But I could pull the lever on the Osama F**ker or anyone of the cronies involved in 9/11 without emotion, not for glory, not for fun, without remorse and be eating a peanut butter and jelly sandwich ten minutes later. Just like I can pull the silver to save my own life, clean and smooth. Just like a task that must be done. JEDI.

Despite his lack of morals, he is still a human being. Quote I disagree, He lost human status a long time ago. He is only human chemically or by the sum of reusable body parts. The actions of his will, mostly recently, have put the WORLD in tailspin from which no good has come or will come. It deserves no name and no mercy!

Could this be like " Fatwa fear factor" now you get to eat swine parts uncooked rotting in the sun with a nice maggot sauce. Followed by more rides on the human catapualt. Shooting him would not make the shooter more vile than him. What would you think if the lottery generated enough money to erect a new world trade center with enough left over for a tidy trust fund for the widows and orphans?

I would rather pay $100 to pull the lever on the human catapault for others to shoot at him in our little game of "Taliban trap", " shite skeet", "Alqueda clays". "PULL"!

The company that makes grout makes the color sticks, Custom is the name . I know they make about 50 different colors of tile grout but as far as the sticks I would have to assume its only in the most popular colors. Home depot carries about 5 and can special order others. I have used them myself with good results. But guess what, you can probably use paint designed for concrete. Either the stain or the elastemeric ( sp) paint to paint and seal really bad grout instead of redoing it. I would do this instead of suffering a big redo. Some people I know have several thousand square feet of tile and few of them really do the anual sealing required to keep it from perma staining. I will experiment with concrete paint in the future when its my turn to suffer.

Cheat... paint it! They have this pencil and you just draw on it like your momma told you not to when you were a kid. Voila, grout colored marker. Is this a great country or what?

Question is will Hooknswoop? Skybytch? Phree? Rhino? Cuz if they're not .....I'm not!

Fly angel and Albatross covered most of the important parts. The tunnel has loaner knee pads they give you ear plugs. Your helmet is fine and you are familiar with it. But you will wear it the whole time you are inside ( something we don't do as skydivers ) so comfort is paramount. Borrowing or demoing something more comfy is an option. If you use your protec helmet bring a turtle neck shirt or sweater. Not so much for flight but for the waiting period in the atrium. Its not exactly wind tunnel speeds but it is wind tunnel temprature and you are sitting on your butt when you are not flying. You get fifteen personal minutes but you could be in there for an hour or more depending on the size of your group. We were stuck in there for 2 hours no pee brake. Dress warm but stay flexible under your booty suit. I don't recommend tight jeans under your suit, looser ones are OK, or better yet comfy sweats. This would be a good opportunity to become more accustomed to your Bev suit booties if you haven't already. Don't worry about crashing too much, although the potential for hard strikes is always there you are not a spaztic flailer. And you won't be trying to turn a ton of points around your coach at least not at first. At first you will demonstrate to the guards and coaches smooth mellow stable flight and control with small movements. Then on to whatever your coach has in mind. Its definitely not frog in a blender. Your biggest problems will be staying relaxed and not get frustrated when performance fades in your second minute of tunnel flying due to exhaustion. But keep in mind it happens to EVERYBODY who doesn't regularly fly their body for more than sixty seconds at a time ( get it?). Just like sky flying you must stay relaxed in tunnel flying. You will learn a lot without all that bothersome pulling stable and packing. Knowing ahead of time that there will be humbling ( not just you, but everybody) you can do nothing more that sit back and really enjoy it.

It makes you wonder if those girls like to have sex at all when off camera. If they just had sex all day would they want it from you when they get home?Quote Yes I've read that they do. Although some of them swing off set, I've read they prefere it with someone they love, passionate, missionary style with the lights out and nobody looking. There goes my impromptu pizza boy fantasy.

It was nice meeting you James, The X-fest was a blast. Wish I could get to Empuria to be on more Atmonauti now and then.
