    Why don't you see about being his jump buddy?

      Great Video
      If at first you don't succeed, take the bloody hint and give up.

        I wonder if the dude has begun to think about why military halo divers have a set ceiling, well below 120,000 feet?

          If you're not living on the edge, you're taking up too much space.

            That makes for a good slogan, but that's about it.

              This is only the first of a long string of people doing extreme diving. It won't be long before rockets will be used instead of balloons to lift.
              I came upon a barroom full of bad Salon pictures in which men with hats on the backs of their heads were wolfing food from a counter. It was the institution of the "free lunch" I had struck. You paid for a drink and got as much as you wanted to eat. For something less than a rupee a day a man can feed himself sumptuously in San Francisco, even though he be a bankrupt. Remember this if ever you are stranded in these parts. ~ Rudyard Kipling, 1891

                  I thought Texans were supposed to be brave and fearless, always the first in line to push the boundaries no matter how stupid the cause might be.


                  You disappoint me sir.

                        Nonsense. Texas has also produced, at the very least, a number of tasty steaks. Also Buddy Holly, if you happen to like him. I don't, but he was important in the history of rock music and all that. There's probably other, more awesome Texas stuff which I'm sure Sloww will let us know about shortly.

                          He's around but he hasn't posted anything. He knows the truth. Dr. Pepper is from Texas apparently.

                          And no matter what he says, it can not trump what has come out of Philadelphia, PA... freedom
