JRE BASE Number
Wow. He's Really Knockin' Em' Out...!
100 sure is going by super fast; now only 7 more, as of today.
So, in the mean time, figure I'll do one myself... since I'm reasonably sure it won't be posted, otherwise.
This is one of my Absolute Favorite Pics (Attached): BD 2005 -- Psycho Bob, Brits17, and my dad; Steve.
Poor, Poor Psycho... he's heavily medicated here, because he went boom boom on his
tush.
But, Must Say, it
Was, a perfectly executed "coccyx PLF." - 428 has pics. Ouch!!
The Cocos met Psycho Bob at Dirty Ernie's first thing that morning (early as f**k); with the 3 of us arriving at the same time, and having been nearly the first people to park there. It was my second Bridge Day, but first for them, and we hit it off immediately! Cold, but nice getting to know each other in the parking lot waiting for it to fill up. We rode the crane truck and stood in line together as well; it was awesome. But it was quite a bummer for us to then fly right over Psycho, seeing EMS rushing to and attending to him (near the waters edge). Not fun seeing your brand new friend get hurt. Thankfully, as seen, he was still able to enjoy the party with everyone!
Now...
you might not be able to see (that she hasn't been on in 2,179 days.)
Oh! But I
most certainly can ... Because We Are Friends.
BJ Official Friends!
Oh Yeah!! %socialmedia -- BJ4Life!!!
However ... I can't see her other friends, or the friends of any of my other friends; so, I'm not really sure what the point of BJ Friends actually is,
currently. Pre-Approved Forum Stalking? Simple Error? Is there a hilarious
old thread that could shed light on this? If so... should we address this before the next DZ/BJ design(s)?
But I digress...
.; and
of course.
Brits17 - BASE 919 -- JRE #919: Neil deGrasse Tyson.
Brittany was one of my very first BASE friends ("outta town" friends -- where, as can be read in other threads, for years, I was the sole experienced jumper in Hampton Roads. So, I loved Bridge Day.) And though we have hiked together, we have yet to actually share an exit point. Or, we've shared the E for our Chicken BASE#, lol.
Kinda "jealous" of her JRE BASE Number: I really like Neil deGrasse Tyson... but at the same time, he also puts the Ass in deGrASSe. Depending on the topic, he can be quite the asinine, arrogant, AssHat (919 pun not intended, though perfect). But, when not on those topics, I do love listening to him, and enjoyed the new Cosmos series.
This is my favorite example of NDT being NOT the smartest person in the room, and being utterly shocked:
-
Computer Code Discovered In Superstring Equations This was the first video I ever saw on the topic. Video is of illustrations mainly and other pictures; includes specific audience questions (at 2m7s) and more on the error correcting code aspects than below.
-
Original Video - Short -- Starts 11 secs earlier than the above, ends at 4m36s, and does not include audience questions.
-
Original Video - Longer -- Starts 1m57s earlier, 6m32s is the endpoint of the above, and at 9m11s; NDT being funny.
Pretty incredible...
I thoroughly enjoyed both of the Neil deGrasse Tyson (podcast) episodes, were well worth the time, and I would definitely recommend watching #310 first, as I did.
