[Bumped] Grazing the Mountain @ 120MPH: "He probably lost more altitude than expected due to the weight of his huge balls"

Tonight -- Wednesday -- on CONAN "Jeb Corliss is a fearless BASE Jumper and all-around daredevil but even he can have a close call with disaster. We're almost too scared to hear how he cheated death this time." HT: Comment by DAG.

It's been about 27 years since I stopped tempting Darwin.

"...due to the weight of his huge balls"??? NUTS, I say, a jackass state of mind, almost a faces of death thing. Good Lord!

You persist in occasional postings, Gerard, that make my testicles retract into the visceral passages whence they originally dropped. Stop it! Vertigo is a terrible affliction. And the background din on the clip did the balance mechanisms in my shell-likes no good, either.

Anyway I posted it on a new blog we have devised, having been ejected from the Spectator Coffee House Wall by squeamish mods. It is a kinda renegade Coffee House Wall. The Spectator has now veered so far to the Left we were trolls on our own patch. Drop in and see what you think AD-ers. Most of us dress to the right there:

American Digest is much quoted thereupon.

For fun to be fun the thrill has to be somewhat proportionate to the risk involved in getting it. Weigh the sensation of flight against sudden horrible death?
More fun than I want to have.
