The "Pick"

[guest]

I'm looking for the "Pick." I've got a non-occupied 40 story building within my cluthes and no roof access - two locked doors.

What are you talking about? If you're implying that we break the law, we never do that. Try another discussion board.

[guest]

You are an idiot. Please go away. We do not condone this line of discussion here.

See, girls shouldn't be allowed in this sport.
Wasn't she just scolding JJ about Snorthouse?

[guest]

Can somebody please tell me what we can and can't talk about on this board??? Please be precise. Do we always need to be assuming that "Big Brother" or some dumbass or whoever is watching?

I'll give The Pick a call on Thursday and let him know you are looking for him.

Oh, now I see the light! Let me see if I got this straight. Price elasticity never changes, pigs can fly, you have the ability to walk on water, and BASE jumpers NEVER break laws. Right?

LET'S RIDE . . .

As we approached the fenced in bottom of the tower I can hear the wind whiffing through the steel 1500-feet above my head.

An eerie bluish light lends more atmosphere then needed as the Pick deftly opens the control box. He flips the switches that lit the lights that sent the machinery to humming that sent chills down my spine.

"I've never tried it," the Pick says, "but I think she'll take all five of us. Two inside and three on top."

"On top?"

Moe and the Pick step inside the cage. The rest of us opt for the front row and stake out our space on the tiny platform according to how scared we are. I'm crowding everybody.

"Ready?" the Pick asks.

"Ready." we sort of mumble.

"Let's ride!" And the Pick hits the GO button.

"Click . . ."

Nothing at all happens.

"Hold it," Mike Allen says, "this is were I get off."

As he steps off the top of the cage, Rich follows, and up she goes, almost taking his leg. "Oh," Rich said later, "close, too close, to Peg City."

Not sure if the Pick and Moe are still aboard I rise into the star filled night. The simplicity I had sought from BASE jumping is gone as once again I depend on the machine.

"Hey Nick, you up there?" It's the Pick.

"Sure, what happened?"

"I guess five's too many."

Scrath, scratch, I thought this whole board was fiction. In fact, what is reality?

[guest]

Through the perception of illusion we experience reality

a fact or the "truth" is meerly an agreed upon observation or occurence. Who agrees that this topic has run it's course?

[guest]

KISS MY BUTT ! Posting here about illegal activities is inappropriate.

Things are bad enough without this type of disclosure.

WAKE UP !

I came to the BASE board with a purpose and aside from a few paranoid viewers, I was hit with an overwhelming response! "The Pick" led me to someone that's gonna help me get that piece of corned beef out from between my teeth.

Thanks BASE board!
