You and Walt can play off each other and insult me and say that I don't read good all you want, but it doesn't change the fact that this line is the equivalent of "Why would you jump out of a perfectly good airplane", in that we hear it every-single-time. All death is tragic, and all death causes pain to those who are left. Death of celebrities is not reported because it's any more tragic, it's reported because it's more interesting and sells papers. Personally, I don't have time to take a minute out of my day for each of the millions of people who die every year regardless of how tragic. And I don't buy into the apparent attitude of report them all or don't report any of them. It seems that would be the only way to appease some people and not have to hear this same age old question over and over and over. So, it has nothing to do with the 'evil' explanation or you being heartless. I do think though, that it trivializes their death...it's not MORE tragic, but it's also not LESS tragic either. So, if you want to make a post about your doctor dying, please do...it will be just as tragic as the next. -S _____________ I'm not conceited...I'm just realistic about my awesomeness...

DAMN! I saw one response to this post and just knew someone had beat me to it... _____________ I'm not conceited...I'm just realistic about my awesomeness...

There has to be one in every f'n thread... _____________ I'm not conceited...I'm just realistic about my awesomeness...

I don't quite get the discussion...I don't think anyone has said that it was "more sad" than any other young person who died today or will tomorrow. He happens to be famous so we discuss. I liked his acting. It's sad he's gone. Maybe we can get HH to make a forum where someone can make a post for every single person who dies every single day. _____________ I'm not conceited...I'm just realistic about my awesomeness...

what if I like Garbanzo Beans, but not Grits??? _____________ I'm not conceited...I'm just realistic about my awesomeness...

Yeah, that's really sad. OTOH, I would have offed myself immediately after the entire world saw me make out with a dude on film. _____________ I'm not conceited...I'm just realistic about my awesomeness...

It sounds cliche, but don't rush it. I've torn my left ACL 3 times, and am waiting to replace it again until I can dedicate months to recovery. I started traveling a week and a half after the surgery and couldn't dedicate to the therapy like I should have. It broke down little by little, and eventually popped about 9 months after the last surgery. It didn't really hurt, because there wasn't that much left to tear. It sounds like you're in better shape than I am, and work out more, but still, it would be better to take a month or two too much off than take a week too little. Also, it wasn't big strenuous activities that damaged it, it was things like tripping on a curb, etc. Point is, just don't be in a hurry. As far as pain, it wasn't that bad. The therapy didn't feel great, but it was ok. The second surgery, they gave me a continuous motion machine that I started using a couple days after surgery. It kept the knee moving so when therapy started there was already a little motion, and kept scar tissue from forming. That's part of what's painful about therapy, tearing through scar tissue that's built up. Anyway, good luck. It's not THAT bad. -S _____________ I'm not conceited...I'm just realistic about my awesomeness...

That is equally awesome and insane. _____________ I'm not conceited...I'm just realistic about my awesomeness...

This is the key...WHEN YOU FEEL READY TO LEAVE YOUR HOME DZ. SMB used to be NorCal's home DZ and gradually people migrated over the course of 2 years or so back in about '99-2000...now it's an issue of "if it ain't broke, don't fix it". (I mean this in no form of antagonistic manner) Why don't you jump at Hollister regularly? Or at Byron, or Lodi? Cause they aren't your home DZ's. I'll go to events, but ultimately end up back at home. There may have been bad blood in the past, but the players have changed. I have no reason NOT to go there. I just have no reason TO go there. -S Edited to add: When I DO go there, I'll look forward to jumping with you. _____________ I'm not conceited...I'm just realistic about my awesomeness...

Do you have Diabeetus? (yes, purposefully misspelled) _____________ I'm not conceited...I'm just realistic about my awesomeness...

One hand...that's funny. Other hand...if that had happened to us, I would have hunted them down and put a TV-B-Gone up their ass. But since it didn't happen to us...that's funny. _____________ I'm not conceited...I'm just realistic about my awesomeness...

I'm here...come over to the Samsung booth and say hi. We're the interactive display there. It's gonna be a long week... _____________ I'm not conceited...I'm just realistic about my awesomeness...

Because it's fucking insane. I like though, that they made a point of saying "he MISTAKENLY thought something was wrong with his chute"...as opposed to the usual "it wasn't his fault" BS. _____________ I'm not conceited...I'm just realistic about my awesomeness...

And by "on its own", you mean "with anal", right? _____________ I'm not conceited...I'm just realistic about my awesomeness...

Shouldn't there be a "guys" answers and "girls" answers??? Slightly different points of view... _____________ I'm not conceited...I'm just realistic about my awesomeness...

Always, cause I generally don't get another chance. Never...variety is the spice of life. As soon as said title will get you laid.

Wow, that's awesome! I lived in St Malo in high school. That would be quite a sight going through the town there. _____________ I'm not conceited...I'm just realistic about my awesomeness...

This is something that a friend of mine wrote the software for, and seems like a pretty cool thing for people who find themselves off the beaten path, and especially in risky situations.

I would hardly call the people I am referring to fools. And their personalities have nothing to do with their accomplishments, just as their accomplishments have nothing to do with their personalities. Thanks, though, for the most elegant of PA's. _____________ I'm not conceited...I'm just realistic about my awesomeness...

It would be cool to meet his brother...supposedly his mother had a premonition when naming him Dick, because he "consistently lives up to his name". _____________ I'm not conceited...I'm just realistic about my awesomeness...
