Pathetic. We used to launch pick-ups like 30' straight up, out in the desert near Edwards AFB.
Funny thing was, the good townsfolk in California City assumed all the booms were just the flyboys having fun, while the guys on base were scratching their heads saying "what the !@#$ was THAT?"
Ahh, good times indeed.

Hmm, seems to me you'd want to be increasing traction, (rather than bounciness) to reduce the 40 time.None of this matters.Years ago Ralph purchased much of Walt Disney's personal estate, including his notes on the anti-gravity compound known as Flubber. Currently, Ralph and Marv are working long hours in Ralph's secret lab beneath OBD, perfecting their formula! They've already been able to take a half second off McGahee's 40 time by brushing the goo on the soles of his cleats.
Don't worry. It's all being taken care of.
On the other hand, end-zone hurdles and JPL sky-balls would be cake!

Stupid sea-weed. Grrrrr.

Good job, Bluechipper. You're going to have a lot of fun. Can't believe my first is gonna be 3 years old in a couple weeks, and he's getting a little brother about the same time. (Hey what can I say, I get frisky around July 4th
)You're going to try to impregnate R.Rich?

Disclaimer: I have never watched an episode of "Survivor", and have only seen a couple of photos from this season in TV Guide magazine...
The older guys are ahead of the game, but whats with the Japanese dude? Trying a little hard for the Mr. Miyagi look...no?I know Bruce Kanegai pretty well, as we are both black belts in the same Karate organization. I think it would be more accurate to say that Mr. Miyagi was trying a little too hard for the "Bruce" look!
Despite his small stature, Bruce is as tough a sumbitch as you'd ever hope to meet. In real life, he regularly out-runs, out-climbs, and out-fights pretty much everybody. I am constantly amazed at how much freakin' energy the man has. He's a mutant, I swear. It's like how kids have this infinite reservoir of energy, but Bruce somehow never lost that. And his Karate kicks ass, too.
True story (sorry if they covered it in the Survivor bios): Couple of years ago, Bruce somehow got himself nailed good in the lower leg by a rattlesnake. By the time he got to a hospital the venom had done a lot of damage, he was pretty well out of it, and the docs wanted to amputate. A whole posse of Bruce's fellow black-belts (including my current instructor) took the docs aside and, how shall I put this, strongly suggested to them that they reconsider.
Needless to say, Bruce healed up pretty good!

Also note the downfield blocking from Aiken, Parish (He PANCAKED a LINEBACKER on the play.
Just going off memory here, but I think the Patsie that got flattened by 'Sco was the Safety, Eugene Wilson. Still, not a bad job considering RP must be giving up 30 lbs or so.

Kaia, people will think she's an import car from Korea.
Yeah, maybe, if they're idiots who can't spell.

Hey, maybe in practice this week they can dump a bucket of wings down Crowell's shorts and tell Mike Williams about it. Bet that'll teach Angelo how to shed blocks in a hurry!

They don't have brass ones either...-TD, MM, RW, et al, don't have crystal balls.

No sweat. I even gave you the factor of 2 in the K.E. term.
I, unfortunately, had to sleep through many years of Physics courses before deciding not to do it for a living.

F=mv^2
Uh, no. Unless you are perversely co-opting "F" to mean Kinetic Energy. "F" generally stands for Force which = m(dv/dt) for a moving object.
