  1. I cry when Optimus Prime dies in the Transformers movie. cavete terrae.
  2. it hasn't gone POP yet! That's good :) I'm looking forward to my 190 cavete terrae.
  3. oh, and how's your Fusion treatin' ya?? cavete terrae.
  4. Yeah, it drives me nuts. I mean, jsut because I want to be comfortable when I'm flying for THIRTY FUCKING HOURS makes me a bad person? If someone wants to wear a suit for that, go wild, but I'm going to dress for the trip, not for the flight attendants. cavete terrae.
  5. that's funny. I dont think it would fly today. people lost their senseof humor I fly too much so I generally get upgraded to the front of the bus in the big seats. The flight I was on from St Louis to Dallas was full of business people in dockers and polos to suits. Here I am with my WFFC hat on, TShirt with a couple dirt stains, Tevas and 'black' feet from roving around. One guy makes a comment about 'those people' taking advantage of the airlines mistake and getting the big kid seats. In the middle of this were two flight attendant who basically said 'ummmm...sir...His status is higher than yours.' the guy shut up. I've been in a similar situation. I was flying international business class wearing tevas, cutoff cargo shorts, and a black muscle shirt, and the guy next to me actually said something like that to my face. I think the exact quote was "What, did you win a trip overseas? Nice outfit". I was like 19 at the time and enough of an asshole to take out my United Premier Exec 1K Card and use it as a fan to "cool off" while I yawned and pulled out a book cavete terrae.

    Can you swim?

    Depends if you wear water wings. cavete terrae.
  7. I dunno, but now I'm hungry and I'd punch a baby for some biscuits from Popeye's or KFC. cavete terrae.
  8. When I was coming back from Eloy, I woke up because I felt the plane descend. I caught a few loads before I left for the airport, so I was still in jump mode, and I woke up, thought the plane was going down, and immediately did a handle check for an emergency bailout cavete terrae.
  9. Yeah, they can blame all they want, but without evidence? Meh. Then again, this is America post-9/11, who needs a trial anyway? As for shark bait, shiiit. I'd knock the leader out and make it clear to the rest I expect a ride to shore, double-time. cavete terrae.
  10. With the FAA? I think I can make a fair guess cavete terrae.

    Can you swim?

    Fuck. Well, the keys are right next to each other. cavete terrae.

    Can you swim?

    Just curious. I'm mystified by the amount of adults who cannot swim, and I'm curious as to how common it is, and how that happens. cavete terrae.
  13. To buy gear? No. To buy jumps? Yes. But not many, I think like 12-13 cavete terrae.
  14. I only got to do like 10 jumps out of mullin's plane during our boogie because my canopy blew up... Plus you lot made me feel too welcome, so I -have- to come back cavete terrae.
  15. Bring it, girly girl In all seriousness though, I should be coming through again in mid October. So I guess I'll miss the boogie, but, I'll definitely get some jumps in if the weather plays nice. cavete terrae.
  16. So much for my idea to lay over for a day in Los Angeles when I move back to Australia in October. No point in that if I can't jump the jet. cavete terrae.
  17. When I come through there again in October, we'll have to play Scene-It, I haven't gotten to destroy anyone at that in ages cavete terrae.
  18. I love 'em, but I'm a few weeks behind. I need to get off my ass and catch up cavete terrae.
  19. Hence my laughter cavete terrae.
  20. http://www.cnn.com/2006/SHOWBIZ/Movies/07/28/gibson.dui/index.html Haw haw! Busted! cavete terrae.
  21. Yeah, I figure the actual speed itself woudln't be a problem, but the initial wind blast might be. I've done a few high speed passes, but not -that- high speed cavete terrae.
  22. I think with the wind speeds, you'd really need to tuck as tightly as possible and hope for the best. You'd be looking at a 225mph+ pass cavete terrae.
