  1. That makes 5 this month.. from CBSNEWS: Those that have not jumped can not understand Those that have jumped can not explain.
  2. I've been married for 18 years and still am not "comfortable/secure" -- I think that relationships are ongoing processes that requires changes and "tweaks" all the time. Those that have not jumped can not understand Those that have jumped can not explain.
  3. Cyprus, 1974, was within 20 feet of an exploding 81mm mortar shell. Senior year in high school, 1983, flipped car into ditch (end-over) on Halloween night. 2005, jumped from a perfectly good airplane. Each was a learning experience: 1) Don't be near a war without the ability to shoot back. 2) If you don't know the capabilities of the car, don't drive, and if you are going to be in a wreck, don't have it happen on halloween, 'cause when you walk, dazed and bleeding, to the door of the nearest house, they try to give you candy. 3) There is NO such thing as a perfectly good airplane. Rock on! EDIT: #3 was missing a "NO" -- how did that happen!?? Those that have not jumped can not understand Those that have jumped can not explain.
  4. The sad thing is that I'm one of 'em. Yeah, the google toobar is way cool. Those that have not jumped can not understand Those that have jumped can not explain.
  5. I've been a subscriber to NG since the early 1970s, and yes, it has always come in the brown paper sack. Those that have not jumped can not understand Those that have jumped can not explain.

    New JEEP!!!!

    Looking to sell: 1997 Jeep Wrangler (TJ), low miles, Rubicon Express 4.5" suspension lift, currently running 33x12.5 BFG all-terrains. Custom rear rack, custom front bumper with attach for 12,000lb winch (winch included, but needs new motor). May post in the forsale forums soon... I got it all spiffed up and then got lost in doing other things and didn't get to trail ride much.. it's been sitting, unloved, in my driveway for nearly 2 years now. Damn I miss Jeeping.

  8. And don't forget the green golfball joke. Those that have not jumped can not understand Those that have jumped can not explain.
  9. Don't worry.... It's all good. Those that have not jumped can not understand Those that have jumped can not explain.
  10. nice pix! I especially like the P51/F15. That's just way cool. Those that have not jumped can not understand Those that have jumped can not explain.
  11. Which some of us have never heard.... ltdiver yup yup yup. Ditto. So, is the duck joke similar to the green golfball joke? Those that have not jumped can not understand Those that have jumped can not explain.

  14. Yep, my PM inbox remains woefully empty. Ah, the issue here is that we no-longer wear black. We are the "men in disco-gold" I'll post a picture here tomorrow to prove it. Those that have not jumped can not understand Those that have jumped can not explain.
  15. Officers raided nearby houses, recovered three out of 500 missing cases and arrested six very drunk people. Those that have not jumped can not understand Those that have jumped can not explain.
  16. Aw... booo.... I figured that if it was fair to have us post nekkid pix, it would be only fair to request the same in exchange.. Those that have not jumped can not understand Those that have jumped can not explain.
  17. Ouch. Prayers for the families of those involved. It's hard to explain to teenagers that they are not going to live forever and that decisions that they make (involving drinking, driving, AND riding with drunk drivers) really can and do have life and death consequences. Perhaps this horror will lead to others taking more of a stance against drunk driving. Those that have not jumped can not understand Those that have jumped can not explain.
  18. Two words: Three Jumps. Those that have not jumped can not understand Those that have jumped can not explain.

    Join the local volunteer fire department. Nothing soothes the pyromaniac quite like firefighting. BTW, other than the lack of beer @ the firehouse, I could see the guys playing this game... But after the incident with the dry-ice and soda bottles last time.... Those that have not jumped can not understand Those that have jumped can not explain.
  20. I'll be up @ the firehouse this evening (training)... I'll see what can be done. Those that have not jumped can not understand Those that have jumped can not explain.
  21. Praying. Example? Dear God if you untwist, I'll... Those that have not jumped can not understand Those that have jumped can not explain.
  22. I share my younger sons first name as my middle. Brian. I think I had the name first, but I don't remember back that far. Those that have not jumped can not understand Those that have jumped can not explain.
  23. That's because we all have high-speed Internet in our houses. Don't need to go to a dive somewhere to send out our e-mail scams... we can do it from the comfort of our own living rooms.. Those that have not jumped can not understand Those that have jumped can not explain.
  24. Uh.. I'm not sure that you want a pic of me, and since I'm just a wuff-diver anyway... 17yr volunteer firefighter, 1yr jumper from airplanes. Now, if a collection is taken up to get me those next 2 jumps, I'll be running solo... and THEN.... Those that have not jumped can not understand Those that have jumped can not explain.
  25. http://www.wral.com/news/4864099/detail.html?rss=ral&psp=news Interesting story about a NC State Trooper that got "winged" while giving someone a ticket. Amazing video as well. Those that have not jumped can not understand Those that have jumped can not explain.
