A great quote from churchill to Lady Astor...here is another one.....
Lady Nancy Astor: Winston, if you were my husband, I'd put arsenic in your morning coffee.
Churchill: Madam, if you were my wife, I'd drink it.

An Aussie, BASE Chic. Has the, Balls equivalent of five American men.

The balls equivalent, Ray?
What exactly is the equivalent? Does this mean she can fit 5 men in her orifice? I Guess so. It kinda makes sense.

I have the tits equivalent of Brad Pitt.

A couple of years ago at Bridge day ESPN came up to a group of us and asked for an interview. One jumper agreed. Then he said "oh wait is the camera on yet?" The espn ancor said "not yet why?" His reply was "let me finish this cigarette. My Mom doesn't know I smoke."
How funny is that. Base jumping is acceptable but smoking isn't.

So I'm in Moab with the Portland crew and we're in this coffee shop where Ray is waiting for his mocha to be finished.

I walk over to a magazine rack and start reading an interesting article in Climbing. I'm about halfway through the article and Ray gets his mocha. He's really itching to do one more jump before the sun sets but I'm really interested in finishing the article since I don't want to buy the magazine.

Ray tells me, "Dude, put that down. You'll have plenty of time to read in the hospital."

The beginning of some BASE video I saw recently... as well as I can remember it:

"Think of it this way: If you jump, you're probably gonna survive. It's just air, you'll fall right through it."

I really don't know what I'm talking about.

Cornered on the 64th floor by a police helicopter and flashlights coming up the stairs we thought all was lost. Then a booming amplified voice pointed the way for us.

"Don't jump cause we'll catch ya!"

They caught none of us . . .

A couple from my buddy, Hawkeye

'If you're goin' in, look at the parking lot and smile! Some whuffo'll be takin' your picture....'

and,

'I may not be able to say I was Linda's first, but I know for damn sure I was her last!'

If some old guy can do it then obviously it can't be very extreme. Otherwise he'd already be dead.

All men dream, but not equally. Those who dream by night in the dusty recesses of their minds, wake in the day to find that it was vanity: but the dreamers of the day are dangerous men, for they may act on their dreams with open eyes, to make them possible.

Thomas E. Lawrence

"It is better to live one day as a tiger, than one thousand years as a sheep".

It is foolish and wrong to mourn the men who died. Rather we should thank God that such men lived.
