I need one of these, if for no other reason than for the fun of getting all liquored up and crashing into a building. I can't wait to hear the first story of the rich guy that breaks 17 bones in his body with one of these. There's 3 versions, the smaller versions of which run on H2O2. Isn't that the **** you clean out cuts with? Kinda useless if you ask me. It only has a max range of 500 feet. The hell are you gonna break with one of those?!

I want to see Adam Savage plaster himself into the Golden Gate Bridge with one of these things!

Yeah, it actually one of the reasons you don't see people using those things very much. It takes a very close watch on the propelant to keep from zooming too high and suddenly losing your ability to cushion your landing. Nifty idea in theory, but the practical aspects of using one limits it's functionality.

Nice to see you've found a gimmick and are sticking to it. Keep on ridin' that horse.

Working and getting my pee-pee wet mostly. Things are starting to settle down here to where I can get away with a little bit of browsing time at work and the lil' lady is taking up a little less of my time now that she has a full time job, so; here I am!

PS ~ Hey Kao, is there a way to filter out '******'? That stupid cat pic is f'ucking up the feng shui of my threads! Can you delete it? Or better yet, just delete the **** that put it there.
