The "flying squirrel guy" is Jeb Corliss.  Run his name through You Tube to find him zooming around all kinds of stuff including the Matterhorn.  He jumps out of a chopper for that one.  All I can say is that the last twenty seconds of that mans life are going to be spectacular.

Heights over water don't bother me, heights over land do.  Its psychological for sure as I know that water is like concrete when you hit it from any significant distance.  I have a healthy respect but no fear of the ocean having been raised on islands in the Atlantic, and having survived a couple of commercial fishing trips when I was in college (up off the coast of Greenland).  A great way to make money fast, but you would be hard pressed to find a job where you worked as much.  Being the "new" guy, I spent nearly the whole trip in the hold shoveling ice.

That guy is awesome.  I love watching anything he does.

the spider hitched a ride in his new Beretta bag. little does he know, it's in the rafters of the barn right now, and he will have to kill it with a nail gun.

i met up with a guy yesterday to trade a gun. he invited me in to see his rifle and we were in the garage talking guns. there was a HUGE cockroach flying around, and I was like "eh they don't bother me that much. that's part of living in southeast Texas. as long as they're not in the house, I don't mind them." 10 seconds later the damn thing flew right into my face, hitting me smack in the left cheek. I jumped back and tripped over a plastic kiddy pool, completely collapsing it. Kinda embarrassing, but hell it almost flew in my mouth!!! lol

Oh yeah, cockroaches are another phobia of mine besides needles. I won't get any closer than 6 feet from one lol. If i see one walking around, it won't bother me though. I'm too scared to walk up and smash it though. Flying ones are a whole other deal though. They freak me the eff out
