balls of steel

id have to eat some of MisLL's mushrooms before i tried that..

 

Oh, terrific...I came here to learn how to re-skin an old jalopy, and this has to be the first thread I hit. I have about 30 years behind me as a certified dock-rat, and I've spent more than my share of time "up the stick" in a bosun's chair.

Two things I learned..
1) The closer you get to the top pulley, the less beating you have to take (think about it).
2) Always keep a piece of beef jerkey in your back pocket. If something goes wrong, you'll have time for an in-flight snack on the way down.. ..

 

Well put!

 

Never "misunderestimate" the potential of the sphincter reflex.. ..

 

So stang.......
Which one is you in the picture?

 

I think I´m gonna puke big time......

 

Let me think...There was "Hear no evil", and "Speak no evil"...
Oh, yeah...I was "Don't do that on the carpet".. ..

 

How to tell you're a hard-core gear-head...
You fall off'n a 1570-foot tower...And your biggest regret is that you'll never get to see your last 1/4-mile time-slip.. ..

 

If you do a little math it comes out to around 8 seconds for those last 1328ft.

 

You probably wouldn't make it down in one piece anyway....
Get sliced up like sushi by the guy wires.......
