I know I've seen these guys somewhere before. Discovery Wings maybe? I know it was on TV somewhere. I wonder how much extra maintenence they have to do after one of these runs?

What about cliff diving at Acapulco? How pointless can you get? But it's still fun to watch.


Imagine the finesse, just keeping the wheels skimming. A sudden blip downward would mean a 150 mph face plant, no fun.

The pic isn't as bad as when we were all trying to figure out if that pic of the dude flying his Raptor 90 in his apartment living room was real. I was so sure it was fake.

It wasn't

LOL, I just thought it was sort of one of those silly, death defying things like trying to make a 200mph lap at Indy Joey Chitwood style.

And what's wrong with being in Mexico?

texas is like russia - awfully proud of itself for being as large as it is, with miles of highways and roadways with nothing to see on the way to nowhere!!!

Naw, you're just old enough to appreciate that someone doesn't really have to hurt themselves for it to be funny.

I guess I would say that I had once thought of logging in and as a fellow retired member of the armed forces to the idea of thanking you for your service to your country or something - and why I tried to make some vaguely funny reply to your cataract submission - but I guess I won't and make sure and put you on my "do not reply since he's a jerk" sticky note stuck on the computer screen.
Might I also suggest to you that these discussion boards are set up for all people to use, and for you to take a closer look at them and see that most of the submissions on them are without substance. But that if you're going to make pointed comments about a fellow member's posting that you might first apply for a moderator job so you can make it your own personal mission in life to clear out all your supposed riftraft and have it all to yourself and a few close friends.

Your complaint is duly noted.

Ah, 'twas so nice to have lived in a kinder and simpler age. To this day I still think Red Skelton was one of the funniest men I ever saw and he didn't have to stoop to gutter language to do it.
