i have seen carlos do a wicked spiderman in the tunnel - it's sorta his signature move. don't think i've seen joe do it though. as many times as you've been to the orlando tunnel, i can't believe you haven't see carlos fly. he was in AZ training the guys (he and michael were) so maybe you have their names swapped? just a thought.

hey aunt kim!!! danielle said she already asked if you could join us tonight for krys' birthday dinner. sorry we won't see you there, but we know you'll all be there in spirit. :) this will be our 2nd annual krys' b-day sushi gathering thingy. :) i miss krys so much. not a day goes by that i don't think about her and the boys.... love, arlo

hey mar, was that taken at tu-tu tango? hmmmm....

didn't they make a movie of the dark half? either i imagined that they did or timothy hutton played the lead....

just in case anyone in the orlando area needs to find a way to dispose of the cooking oil, i saw this listed on craigslist/orlando: Deep frying your turkey this year? I will, free of charge, pick up your unwanted/waste turkey grease the day after Thanksgiving. (Nov 25/Friday). I will pick up oil within 20 miles of zip code 32806. Please email me for more information, or to schedual pick up. PM me or check craigslist under "wanted" for the email addy. didn't want to post it on here even if it is anonymous.... a

save your life again wally? no worries! ..and eener? you know how "PC" -I- am. lol gotta love sarcasm.

you know.... i tried working it with BUTT instead of ASS because of my huge concern of being politically correct: Both arms in the air U ? T alk in short sentences Telephone 9-1-1 but i just for the life of me couldn't figure out the "U".

yes. didn't you get the memo?

if you want to get to the ASS part, skip to the bottom...no pun intended http://strokeconference.americanheart.org/portal/strokeconference/sc/release22003 How to Recognize a Stroke Sometimes symptoms of a stroke are difficult to identify. A stroke victim may suffer permanent brain damage when people fail to recognize what's happening. Now, doctors say any bystander can recognize a stroke, simply by asking three questions: 1. ask the individual to smile. 2. ask him or her to raise both arms. 3. ask the person to speak a simple sentence. If he or she has trouble with any of these tasks, call 911 immediately, and describe the symptoms to the dispatcher. Researchers are urging the general public to learn to ask these three questions quickly, to someone they suspect of having a stroke. Widespread use of this test could result in prompt diagnosis and treatment of a stroke, and prevent permanent brain damage. ============================= i'll throw my own personal twist on this one. remember your piece of ASS: Arms (raise them) Smile (have them smile) Speak Simple Sentence (i.e. the weather is nice) if you can't get ASS from the person, then call 911 because they may be having a stroke. it just seems that ASS is easy to remember because people are always looking for it. and hey, it could save someone's life in the process. seriously.

was it a grand torino? for some reason that sticks in my mind.... yeahhhhh, george stark. and yeah jones, eyes of the dragon was a good one as well...at least what i remember of it. dave, ditch that awful avatar....for the love of god, already. lol

i'll preface this by saying that i don't read much becasue it's hard to keep my attention (shiiiiiiiny!). but SK is one author that would hold my attention long enough to get thru a book. i read The Stand in record time. mmmmmmm, the dark half. you're bringing back memories here, chris. i used to own pretty much the entire SK library. what's the dude's name that drives the big black car (it was a grand something-or-other)? Needful Things.....loved it. The Stand.....CLASSIC. Thinner........haven't been to a carnival since. what did you guys think about rose madder? that was a little, uh, different. need to read bag of bones. but i have to buy it again. i hucked all my books after getting soooooo much shit for having a library of books i never read after moving to deland. lol

WHAT? hey, good luck with whatever you decide to do. remember, i double as a travel agent and human mapquest person, too. lol

i was there. TK's neck only popped a little bit. you should've SEEN the spectators though when his head started spinning around and around (right round baby right round like a record baby right round right round...) and vomiting green pea soup. it was truly a sight to behold. and people thought that was just pond scum floating on the water....

you're doomed. face it. any dz that would even have the likes of me and bickner is doomed from the get-go. what's BAD is that there are others like us. similar wit, similar vices, etc. hell, there's even another KOREAN at the dz (or is that phillipino? oh hell, they all look alike). don't you know they eat dogs for lunch? hope you don't have any pets tagging along. hell, what do you think happened to hercules' 4th leg? ' oh yeah, you're soul belongs to the hills. TK is lord of the dark. we are all spawn of satan. i drive the bus there. ticket please.

...you say that like it's a BAD thing.

personal jesus in one of my favs no doubt. when i hear it i keep seeing the b&w vision of them in cowboy attire in the desert. but i must say, i am STILL riding the energy of seeing NIN/TR. hearing "wish" from broken in the midst of all my other NIN favs was enough to almost put me over the edge. glad to hear DM was a great show. that's no surprise. if i had the money i would've gone to that one too. kris, you've had all damn year to get your ass to tampa. so now you have to hear bickner talk about DM and me rave about TR....for eternity.

sweeeeeeeeeeeeet!!!! dude you are soooooooo gonna love it at the dz. :) have a safe trip. bring duct tape and plastic containers to seal your valuables in for next hurricane season. ;) seriously, welcome welcome welcome!! will be good to see you and dagny when i make my trips to the hills. drive safely, a

i saw one (tshirt hell, maybe) that was for a baby. it said: "now that i'm here, i'm pro-choice." (thanks for the new t website)

thanks ian.

save the tops - at least the little square thingys on them. it looks like we might be able to help out even more with the schools in the katrina wake. i found this on craigslist and thought it was a super easy way to help. if anyone is interested, shoot me a PM or something and we can get this ball rolling.

joe's an incredible flyer. joe and carlos together are off the hook. when i used to work at SVO, joe would really push me to fly outside the envelope and my comfort zone a bit to learn new stuff. IMO, they don't get any better than joe and carlos in the tunnel...period.

yeah, take it all with a grain of salt. this article just came out today. i am a HUGE fan of ibuprofen and will huck down 4 if i break a nail so i'm with ya there. i've always steered WAY clear of tylenol/acetaminophen due to it's liver destruction properties. that's what makes vicodins, percodans, lortabs, etc so bad (high levels of acetaminophen). so i hated reading this as much as you guys do. but because i know how much i take them, i figured it was enough for me to take into consideration and wanted to share it with others. deuce, no worries, dude. you're spot on about the vics etc. also, someone mentioned alcohol and ibuprofen. i know that acetaminophen(tylenol) and alcohol is the cardinal sin NO NO combination because it can shut a liver down with no warning. i'm somewhat versed in livers and have a vested interest there. so anyway, not meaning to stir the pot but at least raise a level of awareness if you trust the source of info. edited to add: deuce, i'm sorry about your sis. was she able to get a transplant? also edited to delete a joke that was bad timing.

i'm a freak by nature but i really love medical stuff. if isee something interesting i try to post it. if you can figure out something good for me to do when i grow up, please, feel free. i bought a lotto ticket hoping that would help with my decision making process.

in a nutshell, taking 800mg (4 pills) ibuprofen 3X day may increase your chance of GI bleeding. the amount recommended on the bottle is 400mg (2 pills) 3X day. long story: Review HAMILTON, Ontario, Nov. 1 - Taking high doses of Advil or Motrin (ibuprofen) even for a few days can significantly increase the risk of gastrointestinal bleeding, researchers reported today. After three days of treatment with 800 mg of ibuprofen three times a day, healthy men had evidence of significant blood loss compared with men randomized to placebo (P

i'm gonna have to disagree with this one. i do not think it's better to utilize tube stoes ESPECIALLY on the locking stows. not only are the tube stoes meant to have a higher breaking point, but they also can contribute to line dump by virtue of their shape. because they are "rounded" the lines can "roll" out of them if there isn't enough tension on the lines by the tube stoes. i have no experience with the new bands that parasport italia makes. they are flat instead of rounded so they may be a more viable alternative. i definitely didn't wanna turn this into a rubber bands vs tube stoes thingy, JMO. arlo btw, grue? it's kinda cute that you're getting so angry. it's alllllllll part of learning to pack. patience, grasshopper.
