I was talking about this whole multi-bladed razor thing with my friends the other day, and I came to a conclusion. You don't have to develop a quality product to sell these things, you simply need a cool name. Mach 3 Quattro So, I'm developing my own new razor because I've found a cool name: Nueve That's right boys, 9 blades on that machine. Keep your eyes out. You'll know it by name: The Nueve - topher "...there is a there out there..." - Tom Robbins

You know, I read somewhere that many automakers use versions of Linux in their Automatic Braking Systems (ABS). That might be why they work so well... They don't have to reboot all the time. - topher "...there is a there out there..." - Tom Robbins

I chartered a little 172 flight over the White Mountains while I was in Alaska in March. We just went out to fly north of the Arctic Circle, land, and then come back. It was so cold outside that the GPS system kept shutting down. Every time I would reboot it, it made me chuckle because it was running on Windows NT 4.0. Even bush pilots can't get away from Microsoft. - topher "...there is a there out there..." - Tom Robbins

Tink1717, I just bought one of these 3 weeks ago. I love it! Have fun, topher "...there is a there out there..." - Tom Robbins

BlueSkiesKel, I got to work with the Coasties while I was in Kuwait. We had a wonderful time picking on one another and we got the job done much better than those Army weenies. I wish an enjoyable and safe deployment for you and your team. - topher Support The Troops... "...there is a there out there..." - Tom Robbins

They always bust you when you're having fun... Sheesh.... "...there is a there out there..." - Tom Robbins

I don't have enough experience to comment on this intelligently. But, I see an opportunity for a funny that everyone is letting go. So, my suggestion is: If it's an all-female team, just make sure the jumpsuits are tight. , topher "...there is a there out there..." - Tom Robbins

Because it's funny. Why else? topher "...there is a there out there..." - Tom Robbins

Scuba Steve, Brother, you did half a jump this past weekend. In my book, a reserve ride is half a jump. He He He He He, topher "...there is a there out there..." - Tom Robbins

Fellow Skydivers... Help me out here if you will. I've registered twice now with skydivingmovies.com and I have yet to receive the confirmation email with my password. Anyone experience this inexplicable lack of dynamic site functionality? Whiskey Tango Foxtrot? Thanks, topher "...there is a there out there..." - Tom Robbins

ArcAngel0223, While in the Navy, I was a Hospital Corpsman (medic). Corpsmen get to do a little bit of everything, because medical personnel are needed erverywhere. I didn't work for any special forces teams, but I was an infantry medic with 1st Marine Division for three years and in Kuwait I was part of a small Army, Navy, Coast Guard team of medics. About 20 of us turned a small abandoned building into a clinic and supported the movement of supplies into Iraq right at the outset of the war. We got to play with some fun weapons because we had to transfer a lot of patients through some unsecured areas. So, we would cruise around in these Mitsubishi Pajero SUVs packing serious heat. But, the only real action I saw was a few missiles coming our way. Oh yeah, while in Kuwait, my buddy Ryan and I stole a grill from the SEALs. We used it to barbecue steak and lobsters. Suckers. Really, though, SEALs / RECON are a dedicated bunch of guys that lead a lifestyle most wouldn't want anything to do with. So many people focus on the difficulty of the training. But man, it's the lifestyle that will kill you. - topher Support the Troops... "...there is a there out there..." - Tom Robbins

Casch, Thank you for making this observation. I've always loved people that write, "Your stupid" on bathroom walls or the like. It's always gotten a chuckle out of me. - topher "...there is a there out there..." - Tom Robbins

Sunny, I just happened to have a copy of Parachutist in my office when I saw this post. Now I know what you look like and I will have the drop on you when you try to kick my ass at SDC. You were unwise to let this little piece of intel slip out. Oh yeah - Congratulations !!!!! - topher "...there is a there out there..." - Tom Robbins

I don't know; this is pretty creative. And sometimes, maybe they'd do a better job at public policy than our current legislators, et al.... PS - Hope your son is doing well.... - topher "...there is a there out there..." - Tom Robbins

The last year has been busy: June 7th, 2003 - Was sweating my ass off in Kuwait, looking rather intimidating with my Brett Favre jersey and Mossberg shotgun. July 2003 - Returned safely from the war having suffered only a partial tear of my achille's tendon (shot put contest while bored) and a damaged nerve in my wrist (wrestling match that ended in a nasty thorn bush). September 2003 - Separated from the military with 60+ days of vacation left on the books. Pitched a tent at Skydive Chicago and started AFP. October 2003 - Graduated AFP and said, "Yeeee Haaaa". November 2003 - Officially out of the Navy, took a job with the Department of Defense and had to leave the girlfriend. March 2004 - Spent 3 weeks in Alaska on the Government dime!!!!!! Beautiful. March 2004 - Hated the DOD job and decided to quit while eating breakfast at IHOP. Quit job over a cell phone while chewing blueberry pancakes. After 7 years in the Navy, quitting a job was FUN FUN FUN. March 2004 - moved back in with Mom and Dad (unemployed) at the age of 29. Needless to say - no girlfriend at this point. April 19, 2004 - Started a wonderful new job on my Dad's birthday... May 2004 - Sold my truck and bought a Jetta Couple days later - My cousin told me he thought I was gay cause I had no girlfriend and drove a Jetta. June 1st 2004 - Moved into a new apartment. That's the cliff notes version. Insert a few jumps here and there and we're talking about a good year.... Still need a girlfriend... - topher "...there is a there out there..." - Tom Robbins

Name: Christopher LaVesser Most people chop off 'Chris' and just call me topher. Dawn calls me 'Tater Tot' because she can't remember topher. I'm a computer geek for a living, though hopefully not for long... - topher "...there is a there out there..." - Tom Robbins

Jump 27 - Only the left side of the canopy inflated and it began spinning me. I reached up to pump the toggles and the left toggle just came off in my hand. I was holding a steering toggle, but there was no steering line attached to it. I noticed a particular fence post staring at me, so I cut away and the RSL beat me to the punch on getting the reserve out. Shouted, "Yeee Haaaa" and landed the reserve. - topher note: Toggle and steering line were in perfect shape when we recovered them. They had been assembled incorrectly. This was the second jump on said rental rig. "...there is a there out there..." - Tom Robbins

They used the 10,000 gallons to bathe. You don't get a good lather with rum. - topher "...there is a there out there..." - Tom Robbins

Scuba Steve, When we talked on Sunday morning, I thought maybe your face had been slapped by a riser when your body was flailing about. But now, after watching this horrible video, I must change my opinion. Dude, I think your brain slapped your face from the inside. Damn that thing opened fast! Heal quickly man. See you back out at the DZ... - topher "...there is a there out there..." - Tom Robbins
