Afraid of Heights ?

Oh lord.....this truly makes me dizzy just looking at it. [img height=20 src="http://www.pogo.com/images/chat/sick.gif" width=20 border=0] I couldn't do this even if I was offered a million dollars. Could you ?

Make it 2 million and I'll do it in my thongs.

That looks easy compared to this:

tv tower is north dakota, tallest structure in the world until that skyscraper in Dubai is finished.

It takes a great deal of effort for me to sit upstairs at the movies - without beating a retreat 15 minutes after my arrival.

van_guy · Mar 02 09 11:53

sure - as long as there was no wind i'd be and i could rope up - carbiner to the rings ... ok.
if there was a wind - forget it - not for 100 mill

when i was a kid i was HORRIFIED of heights - now I'm ok - just hate windy days and heights combined.

Gopher · Mar 02 09 11:59

Not even for all the ill-gotten gains in the world!

All the safety equipment in the world would not help convince me. I swear I get woozy just looking at it. [img style="CURSOR: pointer" onclick=url(this.src); src="http://www.cheesebuerger.de/images/smilie/konfus/f035.gif" border=0] The skyscrapers below are dwarfed in contrast.

Not SD's pic, silly. That one does not give me the same feeling as the one that I posted.

van_guy · Mar 12 09 11:08

Ohhhhhhhhhhhh.

I think SD's is scarier. \

I don't want to die in north dakota. If I'm going to plummet to my death i want to do it somewhere people have heard of. [a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blanchard,_North_Dakota" title="Blanchard, North Dakota"]Not Blanchard, North Dakota[/a], halfway between Fargo and [a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Grand_Forks,_North_Dakota" title="Grand Forks, North Dakota"]Grand Forks[/a]

You show any american 12th grader (outside of ND) a map of the world and ask him to point out Blanchard ND, I would bet my mortgage that less than 1% could point it out. come to think of it my money would be pretty safe on the same bet for Fargo or Grand Forks

LOL.

We were one step ahead of a tornado, all the way from Billings, Montana to Fargo, ND....at which point, we checked into the hotel and they promptly gave us directions to the Safe Zone, and instructions on what to do when the tornado struck. What ever happened to "welcome".

That's pretty much all I remember about Fargo, North Dakota.

You were probably praying - dear god don't let me die in Fargo - anywhere but Fargo ... nobody can point out Fargo on a map ...
