Pendejo

OK...... Enough with the beans...... Here is some REAL news!!!! The one... THe only.... CAJONES will be at this years boogie! I just got a pm from him saying he will be arriving on friday and be there through monday! Sounds like the initiations this year will be quite interesting!!! Pendejo He who swoops the ditch and does not get out buys the BEER!!

Actually they were referring to all the tents from Vancouver; Forts Douglas, Logan, Snelling, Sheridan and Russell, from San Antonio and the Presidio of Monterey(according to the museum of San Francisco). Thats a far cry from all the tents in the army as you have implied. I gotta go to the DZ and jump for the weekend

Thank you for making that CLEAR for me Dr. Kallend. It would seem that they were all three of significant consequence to the people of NO as well. Which is what I believe this discussion was about, not that we don't all appreciate you reminding us that the mayor of NO has almost no impact on my life. Unless you consider how his inept ability to implement the evacuation plan has impacted all those helping in the relief effort. Pendejo He who swoops the ditch and does not get out buys the BEER!!

Your way of putting it better describes the way I feel about it. I do think its commendable that they are willing to say "the buck stops with me and I take responsibility." Even though it sounds like She wishes she had kept her mouth shut on the satellite feed Pendejo He who swoops the ditch and does not get out buys the BEER!!

Dude! I heard you were at Richmond! Is this true?! How did we miss you... Were you one of the guys that made a round jump? Pendejo He who swoops the ditch and does not get out buys the BEER!!

Now this has GREAT opportunity for fun!!! All the people that said she was not to blame and Bush was the one who caused it all will have a field day defending themselves! By the way.... They are BOTH right. They are both to blame. I just wish the mayor had the grit to say he had a part in it as well instead of blaming everyone else. Pendejo He who swoops the ditch and does not get out buys the BEER!!

So when is the survey considered complete (no longer taking submissions)? Is it her intentions to let us see the results or will we need to contact her for that info? Pendejo He who swoops the ditch and does not get out buys the BEER!!

Ok... So I'm STUPID.... Can someone help me with the clicky???? Pendejo He who swoops the ditch and does not get out buys the BEER!!

I can't believe this hasn't been posted here yet. I can't wait to hear all the pro bush and anti bush comments about this one! Pendejo He who swoops the ditch and does not get out buys the BEER!!

I agree!! Something has to be done!! I know...... lets build this REALLY big wall around the country to keep those bastards out.... Oh... Wait... Thats been done before.... Here's an idea. How about we stop bitching like little children about something that our economy is based on (that would be competition) and come up with a way to compete with them No wait.... You guys are right.... We should just shut them out. Pendejo He who swoops the ditch and does not get out buys the BEER!!

I have a Tony wing jacket. I like it a lot. I do both AFF and tandem videos so its nice to just slip on the jacket instead of changing jumpsuits on a busy day. Pendejo He who swoops the ditch and does not get out buys the BEER!!

I spoke to the little woman this morning and made your request known! She said she will post an update here to spill all the beans!! Pendejo He who swoops the ditch and does not get out buys the BEER!!

Very true!!!

Dude... You know Wally only drinks from a red and white can.... I thought you said you wanted him to come to the boogie..... If you tell him it will be beer from a bottle you know he won't come. Pendejo He who swoops the ditch and does not get out buys the BEER!!

Nice comparison. Building there is about the same as what they are doing in NO. Both were said to be "acceptable" and both proved otherwise. Pendejo He who swoops the ditch and does not get out buys the BEER!!

and so it begins.... From here they will start pointing fingers at who made the decision to start pumping the water out before they had the test results back. http://www.comcast.net/news/index.jsp?cat=GENERAL&fn=/2005/09/08/216976.html Pendejo He who swoops the ditch and does not get out buys the BEER!!

You and the others that are helping there are the ones the press should be talking about. The people who are doing that part of this are the true heroes not the people that will try to take credit for it later. Just in case no one has said it to you yet...(and even if they have I'll say it again) THANK YOU!!!!!!! Pendejo He who swoops the ditch and does not get out buys the BEER!!

Since Slug answered the rest of the post I will get this one. Remember that all you are doing is moving it to another area. It isn't going to go away just because you dumped it somewhere else. For the most part the city is a loss (according to what we see on tv). If thats really the case why make yourself another area to clean up? Not to mention that they are creating great place to live with the lake contaminated. What is really crazy is that if I had turned in a paper when I was getting my degree in environmental eng. on this subject they would have given me a failing grade for coming up with this solution. Now there is a prof quoted as saying its the best option.... Its just plain nuts... Look on the EPA site at the superfund sites here in South Carolina. You will find one where we are spending millions (well over a 150 million) to clean up a haz-waste landfill that some IDIOT built next to a LAKE. Guess what that landfill is leaching into that LAKE.... I'll give you a hint..... Its the same heavy metals and petroleum products that they are pumping into a LAKE next to NO. Oh.... And thanks for the lesson.... But I was already aware of the definition of the word "static" and you are right about concrete and stainless steel, I just wasn't aware that the lake and rivers were lined with stainless steel. Pendejo He who swoops the ditch and does not get out buys the BEER!!

Time will tell how "static" the level will be. As someone has already said dilution is NOT the solution to pollution The point of the post was that (IMO) we are making a bad thing worse. I have been involved in a lot of clean ups at a lot of different sites (its a part of what I do for a living). What that guy said in the article is absolutely crap. It does NOT "just go away." I really like the part about the lake being ok because it feeds into the gulf..... So pumping that crap into a lake that is not lined with concrete (you know that stuff the streets are made out of that is kind of hard for ANYTHING to leach through) so it can just disappear cause there is more water in that place?! That doesn't seem like a better answer to me. Pendejo He who swoops the ditch and does not get out buys the BEER!!

What a load of crap.... If that kind of thinking was true why do we fine companies for discharging into rivers and the ocean?????? (edited cause I got to pissed to be able to spell) Pendejo He who swoops the ditch and does not get out buys the BEER!!

Right now they are pumping at a rate of 40,000 cubic feet per second. The average supertanker (assuming its a 250,000 metric tonne tanker) would be pumped dry in about 9.5 days. They are saying anywhere from 34 to 80 days of pumping, so that would be a minimum of 3.5 tankers to 8.5 tankers. The difference is that the oil from the tankers will mostly stay on top and even though it is an awful mess its still not as bad to clean up as the mess they are making outside of NO). The water they are pumping will not. The tanker will cover more area but will not do the same amount of long term damage. Pendejo He who swoops the ditch and does not get out buys the BEER!!

Thats the part that is just beyond me to understand. If the city is ALREADY destroyed, why not at least do the right things moving forward. Its not like they will be back in there anytime soon. I also am not a tree hugger, but I would like to leave the planet in some form of order for my great grandchildren. Pendejo He who swoops the ditch and does not get out buys the BEER!!

And that feeling could not be more correct. We did a little math at work today to try to come up with a SWAG about how much water is going to be pumped out.... Are you ready for this number..... 346,777,920,000 gallons of water (give or take a billion or so). For all of you who will ask where we came up with that here are the numbers we used. 25mi by 20mi by 15mi for the triangle of NO. The we figured an average of 10 feet of water. The rest is just math. Even if you argue that the number is off by 50% its still a HUGE environmental disaster. What these guys are about to create is going to be bigger than anything we in the environmental business have seen before. It will take an area the size of NO and turn it into at least twice that size (not counting the original size of NO). The greatest danger (to the environment) is not the disease as some on tv may think.... It will be all the household chemicals, industrial chemicals, and petroleum products (from the cars, gas stations, and so on). Pour most any of your cleaners in your house in the fish tank (even a VERY small amount) and see what happens. (be sure you are tired of having fish before you do this). Where ever they pump that water most everything will die. The problem is, to treat it all would take to long. Funny thing about people.... The ones that are screaming that they have to "get the water out now" are the same oneS that will want to know why they didn't treat it before they pumped it later. It shows how short sighted some people can really be when it comes to the long term problems they create. If they were smart (and its not been shown so far that they are), they would bite the bullet and clean it up the right way.... But we all know its about "instant gratification" not what is best in the long term. Pendejo He who swoops the ditch and does not get out buys the BEER!!
