hey FS, it won't hurt your sales dept. to have HAK on those toy figures?
....but then again, you may choose to be reclusive for the same reason you refused the fine gentlemen manning a HAK booth during BLADE

Longtab,
You have Static Line JM School on the brain and what can be commonly referred to as situational awareness overload.
This is the very reason alcoholic beverages were invented. I highly recommend copious amounts of the adult beverage of your choice combined with a few days of gratuitous sex (with a bipedal partner) and you should be on your feet in no time.
We’re here to help brother.

Thanks TS... sniff, sniff... it means alot. The nightmares won't stop! I tried to relax and go out to dinner with my wife last night and she asked me to adjust her slide-fastener-tab-thong... err, 'zipper' on her dress. It was then I realized I had a problem. Thanks for the support, need... more... beer...

Ah yes, the dreaded "Noun-Nomenclature Fixation Syndrome".
You will recover. Just drag it out when you need it, at the appropriate place and time.

You aren't kidding!! I had a jump from a C-17 going into Egypt. First time we had jumped out of one. I hit my butt on the walkway outside of the door. I still had a good tight body position but still twirled around and cartweeled a bit. I clearly remember my etool flying out of its cover and flying around a bit in front of me, almost in front of my face. It was a good thing I had it tied off as per SOP (and with a short piece of 550)
just a little story for all who would be reading this why ya literally have to tie everything down.

Warning label
...and did you notice the "Choking Hazard" disclaimer on the BAM jumper's box? Take it seriously.
I have 4 case files and one filing for the DA's office ruined due to an unanticipated coffee/oro-pharangeal airway interface mishap.
