I admit I was very surprised at the extent of the changes from the preceding versions, but overall it was a good movie. Not perfect, but an acceptable conclusion to the whole affair. Matt

When I was 11 years old I got shipped off to summer camp for a couple weeks. I was nervous about spending all that time living in close proximity with a few hundred complete strangers, and the nervousness was a contributing factor to a fairly severe case of constipation starting the day before camp and continuing through the first two days. I've always been kind of slow to make friends, and so was on speaking terms with only two other kids when my bowels had finally had enough and o-ring failure became a very alarming possibility. Barely made it to the communal toilet just seconds before my scrawny 11-year-old 90 pound body blew what looked and felt like 10 pounds of compacted shit all over the bowl. It was shocking. It was public. It was mortifying. But I quickly realized that other 11-year-old boys also love joking about shit, and I was actually a kind of instant celebrity for crapping the largest load some there had ever seen. They all loved it.

1. Whats your name? Matt 2. How old are you? 30 3. Why did you decide to start jumping out of airplanes? I've always been fascinated with every aspect of human flight. Started with toy airplanes and gliders, went along with some friends to try jumping to see if I would like it, loved it, realized I couldn't afford it, eventually went to school for my A&P so I could get paid for hanging around airports all the time, started flying airplanes, and now have come around to the point where I can afford skydiving. Do I get a prize for the longest answer?

Name something good that's happened to you that you never dreamed of

Got to stand on the runway at Oshkosh during Patty Wagstaff's performance three years ago; I was holding one of the two poles that she flew between for her inverted ribbon cut. -
Mamfe (MMF) in freaking Cameroon, of all places. Not sure how I'm going to get to Africa to get any use out of it though. Matt

I briefly dated a gorgeous filipina girl a couple years ago. If her friends were any kind of accurate sample of the DNA pool in that country, then yes they really are all beautiful like that.

When I bought a new toolbox I absolutley could not rest until every drawer was precisely organized. Every once in a while a coworker will ask me to grab a tool out of their box and the chaos I find there makes me slightly sick to my stomach. Tools rolling all over each other, wrenches in the same drawer with scewdrivers, sockets out of order! How can anybody work like that? Matt

Looks kinda like your average hockey fan to me. Matt

It's not the term "phallic symbol" itself that's so annoying; it's the over-use of said term by pseudo-intellectual wannabes who think they sound profoundly analytical and smbolism-cognizant when they say it, little realizing that pointing out the vaguely penis-like aspects of any given object is about as analytical as Beavis and Butthead's dialogue. "Huh, huh. Looks like a cock! Huh." Matt

I make my living as an aircraft mechanic, so I spend my fair share of time lying flat on my back on the frozen ground with my hands up inside the guts of some machine. I aint gonna do it on my day off if $15 gets me out of it.

I'm thinking the movie was... 1985 maybe? '86? somewhen around there. Strictly made-for-tv of course, no actual theatrical release. In one very brief scene during the final battle with all the giant mutant insects, Snake-Eyes eviscerated a couple of bugs!
-
I was excited when the GI Joe movie came out and we actually got to see Snake-Eyes fight with his ninja sword.

Holy crap. They'd be scraping ugly off of you for a week.

Ladybugs eat really tiny bugs that chew up farmer's crops. That's why farmers buy ladybugs by the bucket and sprinkle them all over the place, which I happen to think is knid of cool. Let her live. She's a good bug.

Man, where can I get some minions?! I've always wanted some. Matt

I spent one brutal summer working in an iron foundry. It was a standing joke that you could always tell if the new guy would finish the day by looking at his shirt at lunchtime. If you could still clearly distinguish the shirt's original color after only a few hours, then that loser was going home real soon.

I love cold pizza for breakfast. Preferably with Mountain Dew.

Hell yeah! Is this an officially employer-sanctioned vacation, time off for bad behavior, or just a coupla weeks between quitting one job and starting the next? I've only ever done those last two options. Never the officially employer-sanctioned kind. Matt

I can't imagine any of the supposed benefits would outweigh the sheer inconvenience of shaving all my nipple hair so anybody could see the damn thing. Matt
-
You need an option for no disorder. I took the test, answered honestly, and wasn't awarded any label at all. Kinda disappointing, really. Woulda liked something new to be neurotic about for a while! Matt
-
Where the hell else can I let 'er rip? Not only is this acceptable, I say it's recommended, possibly required. Matt

Used to have exactly the same problem: my facial hair grows slowly, and face got irritated if I shaved every day. I love my Braun electric. Tip: If you're going to use an electric, then shave before the shower. Kinda counterintuitive, but it really does work better. My razor cost $100 four years ago, and I figure I've spent about another $150 in replacement blades and screens. Probably less money than four years' worth of shaving gels and disposable razors. Matt

I'm thinking static or IAD, but really haven't talked to any qualified instructors about it, so my mind isn't made up yet. My one jump was IAD. Thanks for pointing out the DZ locator. Matt

Hello! Been lurking for a little while, seems like a good place. Jumped once thirteen years ago, loved it but realized I didn't have the cash flow this sport requires. Now I've got the cash flow, but it's winter! In Wisconsin! Oh well, just haveta wait a few months for the DZs to thaw. What's a reputable DZ for another freakin newbie anywhere inbetween Chicago and Milwaukee, or thereabouts? Matt
