Open Post: Hosted By A Skydiving Nightmare

It's a good thing that I was planning on having an almost all-liquid booze diet this weekend, because I just ground up all of my teeth while watching this Almost Faces of Death shit! 80-year-old Laverne decided to cross "tandem skydive" off her bucket list and went to the Parachute Center in Northern California to do so. In this souvenir video, the daredevil memaw has her best free fallen' wig on and looks excited about falling to the earth. But when they're up in the plane and about to jump, Laverne decides she doesn't want to fly like a bird and tries to hit the stop button on that shit. The tandem master pushes her anyway and as they fall, her harness comes loose and she hangs up in the air like something out of a retirement home's terrifying version of Cirque du Soleil. It's times like this that I wish I wore a butt plug, because my stomach fell out of my ass again.

After the heart attack-inducing experience, Laverne and her tandem master made it on the ground safely and I wouldn't be surprised if the first words off of her tongue were, "Fuck all of this." ABC News asked the Parachute Center about the video and they said it's a year old, but didn't have anymore details.

Yes, that video is a horrifying horror show, but as I watched it I became more and more impressed with Laverne's wig-wearing game. I don't think her wig shifted once mid-flight. Beyonce needs ole' girl on her team!

I love love LOVE roller coasters. The wooden one at Dollywood is what finally made me have back surgery. No more wooden ones for me. Steel only now. Too bad Houston doesn't have a Six Flags anymore. :-(

I did ride that opposite free fall ride on the top of the Stratosphere in Vegas. That was a hoot!

Took a bunch of scrap metal to the recycling place. Hundred dollar make me holler! Gonna have a nice 4 day weekend here. Next weekend we have to do extra job (for $$$). Boooooo.

I've never seen Eurovision. What channel is it on? The Mr. is doing a fishing weekend with his "boyfriends/soulmates/life partners" (seriously, it's creepy how much they all love each other).

That reminds me, I forgot to tell you guys about last night. I went to st Louis cards game last night and there was a streaker. A male streaker. It was so freaking funny. I don't know how he got past security, but he made it on the field and the fans were going crazy.

Hi EEEEEEEEVIL! Just came back from a shopping spree. How you doing this holiday weekend?

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Ooooooooo, shopping spreeeeeee! I DESPERATELY need one of those! Hope you got some goodies!

I am good. Decided to not go to the lake with friends and just stay home. I need to clean, do laundry and pay bills, plus I don't want to leave my doggies in the care of a buffoon, so here I is!

For big thrills, I am going to treat myself to a matinee of The Avengers (for some Jeremy Renner comic book hero porn). Big times for me.

What's your plans, if I can be a nosey nellie?

@Blue Orchid- Yeah, I just have ZERO patience for conversations that include 1) excessive bitching 2) people I do not know or care about 3) relationship difficulties THAT ARE OF THE PERSON'S OWN MAKING!!!!! 4) Female related issues. I do not CARE about your clotted blood, your itchy crotch, your dried up cooch or bladder troubles from fuckingh all night! KEEP IT TO YOURSELF!

What is Eurovision?
_____________________________________________

The Eurovision Song Contest is the single greatest display of camp, nationalism and blatant political maneuvering this side of North Korea.

http://www.eurovision.tv/page/baku-2012

It's an annual song contest, with each country putting forward a contestant and then voting.

I can take or leave the songs themselves (I can only take so much "so bad it's good") but the voting is a masterclass in international politics. You basically sit and watch as Europe plays out all its rivalries and friendships on television.

It's this Saturday night and, as you may have figured out by now:

I.

Cannot.

Wait.

*squeals happily*

Fuck that....crossing skydiving off my bucket list! Never going to do it!

Scariest thing I've ever done (and didn't realize how scary it was at the time) was go whitewater rafting down the Chattooga. That's where Deliverance was filmed. I got tossed from the raft right before Decapitation Rock (didn't know that at the time) and somehow managed to get stuck 1/2 under the raft with the rock and then a big drop off coming up. Everyone was freaking out & I didn't know why. One of the other guides managed to get me in the raft, but I landed in the lap of my friend who was guiding the raft. When we got to the bottom I was like, " that was awesome!" and they all said, "you're an idiot! We didn't have a line out! You could've died!"

Never again.

Irish Fury, you should check out the travel show Departures, if you're able and have Nat Geo, but there's episodes on the youtubes. Not just because it's my faaaaavourite show, but they do two episodes in New Zealand. This is one segment where they go skydiving in NZ, but until 1:42, it's just them goofing around.

Hey everyone! I wanted to get on earlier and mention that John Slattery (Roger Sterling from Mad Men) was on the view earlier. Hopefully the clucking hens didn't ruin any lady boners. I was watching the show for about 5 mins and I wanted to kick Elizabeth Hasselback right in the vagina. It wasn't even over politics. She just says stupid shit!

Why aren't you going? :( What about the gf?
---------------------

SHE'S THE REASON I'M NOT GOING!!! Grrrrr.

The deal is, we hardly ever get to see each other during the week because of her kids. Wellll, she doesn't have her kids this weekend and Lil G is hanging out with her friends one last weekend before she comes to my house for the summer. The problem is, she's working both jobs this weekend (aesthetician(sp?) during the day and liquor store at night) and won't get off work until midnight. BUT, I will get to see her after midnight and before she goes to work the next morning. Yay.

Yes, we were in Cairns but we actually stayed in a nice small town called Trinity Beach, right on the beach. We travelled up in those cable cars to Kuranda!

We would love to go to NZ but wanted to enjoy as much Oz as we could. NZ is on The List, they have amazing Bungees there !
